Omega VRT350HD Juicer, Vertical Masticating
Product Details
Web ID: 576493Drives me insane
Don’t get me wrong, once you get it together it juices great. But I’ve had this juicer maybe four years, I use it almost every day, and it’s no easier to assemble now than it was in the beginning. I fight with it every day as the assembly just refuses to sit right for the top to go on, it’s nearly been hurled out the window a few times. I’ve been driven to write this review tonight just to vent after 10 minutes of battling with it to no avail.

quiet compared to other juicers.
I have had my juicer for 1 1/2 years. The screen is the weak link. It is not designed to withstand the forces when juicing hard vegetables such as beets. The nib on the bottom will break off after extensive use with hard vegetables.

worked well, but after a week, the bowl cracked
so pleased with what it did and easy clean up but after less than a week of making carrot juice when cleaning I saw the bowl base has 3 cracks around the openings that fit on base and one of the black attachment on the base broke off. (NO HAPPY WITH ALL THE PLASTIC YOU USED IN SUCH IMPORTANT PLACES) I'm in business myself and I say if your happy tell everyone if not tell the people who can help you. (HELP ME I NEED THIS FIXED) VRT350 / VRT350HD. Thank you for your time. Penny

Powerful, but not Incredible
I bought this juicer 2 years ago when I was going through chemotherapy, because I had instructions to consume specific nutrients. It was recommended and I had no energy to do my research. I continue to use it, and although it generally works well enough with the carrots, ginger, greens, apples, beets, etc, I've learned the precise size to cut things so it keeps the thing from jamming up. It does jam up quite a bit though... But more surprising and more frustrating is that I wanted this juicer and was willing to pay the high price because I wanted JUICE, not baby food or a VitaMix style smoothie. I'm disappointed by how much pulp is still left in the juice. Even though a lot of pulp comes out the "juice" is basically like a watered down Vitamix drink consistency. I end up using this almost $400 machine and then still have to strain it through my own strainer. I would not recommend it if you're really looking for a juicer that makes "juice".

vrt350hd Red very happy
I bought this machine on a big sale. I really like it. if you clean it properly it will juice the heck out of anything the next time you use it. I have had it for about 6 years and every part is working properly like its supposed to. If it brakes on me i will definitely buy another one or maybe even upgrade. it would be nice to have a coupon if that happens or get a huge sale discount. Just be gentle with it treat it as your diet baby. plus its not so loud.

I've had this Vrt350HD for 10 years of heavy use.
Bought in 2007. Daily use for almost all of that time. Have had no, zero, zilch, complaints, and it works as well today as it did fresh out of the box. I did my homework, of course, before I bought it, and John Kohlers website and video were extremely helpful (didn't buy from him though, sad to say, as he was out of stock at that time). My criteria were 1) must juice leafy veggies as well as harder root vegetables like beets, etc. and 2) MUST be easy to clean as I didn't want to spend this kind of money on something that ends up in the garage a month later. The VRT met and continues to meet these criteria. The only thing I can say that is the slightest bit negative is that it does not juice soft fruits well...a lot of juice is left in the pulp....a centrifugal or hand uicer is better at that. However, it does juice pineapple acceptably. On the whole, I would buy it again if I had to, but I will probably croak before this thing does.

Good but disappointed
After watching a ton of videos on this juicer and others I felt this was the most versatile. The fact that I have to strain the pulp wasn't the worst thing and I did know this before I purchased...but it is NOT easy to clean the screen it is definitely NOT a quick clean up...also it does NOT do soft greens well...you have to use something hard to push it through like a carrot so if you want just spinach juice...totally did not work for me. Also I am confused...which screen is used for greens???
