Just purchased this last week for $[...] from Amazon based on reviews here. I have used it once to juice carrots. The juicing aspect is excellent. The pulp was much drier than that produced by a centrifugal Omega juicer I had a few years ago. I also used the carrot pulp to make a carrot cake and it also turned out great. In terms of handling, I don't feel very confident about the parts that extend out like a nose on the juicer. It is plastic and bends slightly downwards when you place the carrots into the funnel and press down to get the auger to process the carrots. Makes me wonder how much longer it can take the pressure before it breaks. But the company does warrant its product for 15 years. The cleaning is much easier than my old centrifugal and requires only to take apart the few pieces in the nose.
Now my real concern with this product - After only one juicing I took the nose apart for cleaning and noticed that the auger has scratch marks on it and also looks like some minute but visible particles are missing. The auger is made by GE using a plastic resin which it has trademarked as ULTEM. Here's what GE says about Ultem : "GE's Ultem resin is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide
offering outstanding high heat resistance, high strength, modulus and broad chemical resistance". Here is the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet on Ultem): [...]. The particles of the auger likely ended up in the juice and the pulp, both of which I ingested. Now I am all for juicing health but don't want to pay the price of eating GE plastics along the way. Other reviewers have also stated the same problem. I am starting to think this is not an auger defect but rather the reality of the plastic auger grinding against the inner sides of the juicer nose. I am really tempted to just return this item.
Post Note, 11/14/09: I've now used the machine for a few days now and I don't see any additional scrapings on the auger beyond what I saw on the first day. I like this product enough to keep and look forward to putting it to use for nuts and leaf veggies also.

I will start with, this CAN be a great juicer. I purchased this juicer and accidentally started it before putting anything in it and noticed an intermittent grinding sound correlated to the auger turning. I let it run a few seconds and took it apart to find ground up plastic from the auger in the screen. After some detective work, I noticed that the leading edge of the screen (the edge towards the body) was raised above the plastic so that every time the auger rode up the edge, it ground off a bit more.
I called Omega and they were very quick to send out both the auger and screen. The only problem is that the new screen has the same problem. I emailed them again and told them about the second screen, and I have yet to hear back from them after a week. Since they didn't ask for my old one back, I took my Dremel tool to the screen and rounded off the sharp edges until my fingernail no longer caught when rubbing across it. Now I can run it dry with no apparent plastic getting worn off.
This is a very bad manufacturing control problem that I hope they fix quickly. Frankly, they should stop shipping these until they get this issue fixed. IF they fix this I would give it 5 stars gladly.
All that said and done, I love my juicer now, it is quick to make all kinds of juice and just as quick to clean up. I have had several other juicers, one cost almost twice this one, and this is by far the best once the screen was modified. The pulp comes out very dry compared to any other juicer I have owned or used so I am getting more for my organic dollars these days!

I have owned the Omega 8005 Juicer for the past two years and I share many of the comments of reviewers of the 8005 and it's newer sibling the Omega 8004/8006. I like to know if there are readers & reviewers who have the 8003/8005 model and whether they can definitely tell me if the 8004/8006 GE Ultem Auger is compatible with it's older sibling. The website says with the exception of the auger, the 5 year extension of the auger, the built-in handle they are exactly the same. Before I spend $59.95 on this auger, not $39.95 on the FDA approved auger I'd like to know if anybody has both the old juicer and are using the new auger on the older, not the newer juicer. I have used the hell out of my juicer; it is that good; many days, multiple times per day. The older FDA approved augers do wear out as many of you know; I'm curious as to whether the new auger works on the older model; if so, I rather buy it; thank you!

I've been juicing daily for a while now, but unfortunately I could only afford a centrifugal juicer. My juicer was the Waring Pro, which made decent juice for the cheap price of the juicer. Though the pulp was almost always wet, and greens would always come out as chunks. Still, some juice is always better than no juice.
I just recently received my Omega 8006, and WOW I was so glad to have done my research. It really is good as they say. The pulp is bone dry, extracts quality juice, quiet, and low rpms which saves most of the enzymes of the fruits and vegetables. The centrifugal I had ran at probably 8000 RPM's which literally kills most of the enzymes of the produce.
Another thing I noticed was the color and taste of the juice when juicing from the omega. I did not know orange juice is supposed to have so many flavours. From the centrifugal it just tasted like sugar water. Wow it was amazing when I tasted my first orange juice. The color was darker and brighter and it just tasted SO GOOD!
Last thing is about clean up, I can literally take it apart, clean it, and put it back within the minute. Extremely fast clean up, nothing messy about it.
This is definitely worth the money for 15 years of warranty

Ok so I have now used three juicers, the Jack Lalanne, the Breville compact fountain, and now the OMEGA 8006. The Omega is the best of those three by far! It's quiet. I get a lot more juice that is less foamy! Looks and taste better. And the pulp is drier than I have ever seen from the three juicers. I now do not feel like I am wasting as much produce as I was using the other two juicers. I can't wait to use if as a processor and to make pasta! Oh yeah, it's a breeze to clean!
