I've had several juicers, and taking 20 seconds to cut celery into "C" shapes has also worked beautifully for me, to stop every juicer from clogging with the fibers :) Currently using an Omega, love it!
Good on you man for spreading these awesome truths I remember years ago watching your videos and being so inspired / educated and finally I will soon start my own juicing. You do a real service props man 👍
I just left a TON of questions for you! You answered one of them in this video. As always, GREAT INFORMATIONAL VIDEO!
John, thanks for all the content. I'm still using my 843 daily and it's best juicer ever!
James
Very helpful video John! Thank you!
Super helpful review of the juicer and feeding process. Watching all these videos before I get the juicer tomorrow. Also - thanks for keeping it fun and lively "you never want to clog up this hole" I was laughing out loud...
Sir, you are brilliant. Almost tossed my Huron juicer after the last time I used it. I thought it was too old because it kept getting clogged. It just needed your great technique. So glad I found this video! When my Huron dies eventually, I will be purchasing my new juicer from you. Thanks again. 🙏🏽
I can not tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time, to explain all of this to us. It's just what I needed. Thank you so much!! P.S need a LOVE button.
I also bought the VSJ843 per your recommendation Nov 2019. I followed your instructions exactly to cut celery into very small pieces and it also worked great at the beginning. I also washed my juicer immediately after using it. However, the screen later got calcium buildup all over and would not juice well anymore. I also tried deep cleaning per your instructions, soaking it in a vinegar and water mixture. However, the vinegar and water mixture ruined the rubber plug underneath the main container and the rubber in the middle of the container. It will not plug into the container easily anymore unless I actually oil/lubricate the rubber first. Also, juice leaks out through the middle rubber area since the rubber doesn’t seal well anymore. I contacted Omega about replacing the both rubber plugs. They want to charge me over $10 to ship the tiny little rubber plugs, which costs a lot more than the actual rubber plugs themselves. I asked if they could just mail it using USPS in an envelope, which would only cost $0.44, but they said their standard shipping cost is approximately $10+. What kind of good customer service is that?! I would NOT recommend the Omega VSJ843 to anyone who is wanting to juice mostly celery everyday. Plus, I did not like their customer service.
Sept 2020, I ended up purchasing a Pure juicer to replace my VSJ843. The Pure juicer has its pros and cons for celery juicing but I think it’s a whole lot better than the Omega VSJ843. With the Pure juicer, I no longer have to worry about calcification buildup preventing me from juicing.
Hi there John, I've been watching your videos for a few years now. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You a re a kind guy, I hope you keep on expanding and growing. The world is a better place with people like you. Surprised that you don't give the veg a wash first though.
yes... I was curious about the non-washing of the vegetable as well! Hmmm!
My nc900 just failed on me. Straight work horse.
Just ordered one of these based off your videos and information.
nice just received new strainer, spatulas etc to strain my juice... nice video.
Thanks John!
It is a nightmare. I used it for 3 months and gave up. Now a year later the Nama J2 came out and I tried it based on John’s review ( like I did when I got the Omega) and finally I have the juicer of my dreams. I am maintaining a cancer free body and with the Nama I feel confident I can do it without becoming so dissatisfied that I would give up. I’m hoping I can get Omega to exchange this one for their latest model that is similar to the Nama J2 which has revolutionized the juicing game. The Nama is even better than the Green Star twin gear Pro which will no be sitting on the shelf.
The VSJ steadily declines over time because the hopper degrades. I bought about 10 of these for family and friends, they all follow the instructions, and everybody has the same issues.
You can extend the life of the hopper by scraping out the inside of the auger every 10 minutes, because produce buildup there is what causes it to grind against the hopper. This is a pain, but it eventually becomes fairly quick and is much better than a loose auger. You can also keep backup hoppers on hand; they're pretty cheap and it's a pain waiting for warranty replacement when they inevitably break. This is really an inherent design flaw of vertical juicers, but is worse for the VSJ because the auger is the primary elimination path for the pulp.
After 5 years I gave mine away because it broke way too often. I now use a Greenstar for firm produce and vacuum blender juicing for fruit. I no longer worry constantly about the juicer breaking again, and I consider these far superior to the VSJ in every way.
I discovered that the problem with my Omega vsj843 juicer was the screen. When I looked at it closely many of the fine little holes were never stamped through during production. When I purchased another one, the juicer functioned much better because less of the holes were messed up, and clogged.
John you’re an amazing guy. Thanks for your info as always honest opinions. Sadly, I chose the wrong juicer when I bought this 8 years ago maybe…..as a busy mom I don’t want to have to chop everything and use in alphabetical order 😂 I get your point- it’s different for everyone. I chose wrong for me.
My Grandma Joy always used her horizontal champion juicer- back in the 80’s - taught food demos at her fasting spa, made fruit ice cream at the end of the week. People ooh’d and ahh’d at how easy it was. So when I got this juicer is was shocked how much harder it was than back in the 80’s lol.
Since I bought a similar kind of slow juicer (Forbes) I use it everyday. Mine turns the other way around, I don't know why.
I wouldn't use it by the way for juicing green stuff like cucumber, those leaves because they can be used in a blender and that keeps everything in the juice. Fibers, etc. I only use the juicer for hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrot, etc. Orange can be pressed with manual presser and we can keep the pulps also.
Hi John. I have the Omega VRT 350 and I am wondering if you have any suggestions on how to improvise a mouth spout cap since this model doesn’t come with one. Thank you!
will you be doing a video demo of the new nama j2 cold press juicer
It's my fav. juicer.Once you get the hang of assembling and dissembling, it works like a dreM. Another tip is Cleaning it as soon as you are done..🎉
We just got this exact juicer and have only used it twice. Is it supposed to sway when in use it seems it is not aligned on the bolt. We made juice but it seems weird its swaying. Any input would be helpful, if its a defect I need to return it
First: my juice recipe is Carrot, Celery, Red Beets, and Gala Apples.
This juicer was amazing for appx 1 year. During that year I would make 1/2 gallon of juice twice each week.
The time required for this amount of juice has increased due to having to stop multiple times to clean the screen and the wet pulp caught in the auger. There is also more pulp making its way through the screen into the strainer I use at the mouth of the jar I use to store the juice.
Looking at Amazon reviews, it seems this clogging problem is pretty common. I've soaked the screen in citric acid as you recommend. I've scrubbed the metal screen with a copper scrubber. Any other suggestions?
John have u ever juiced prickly pears? I’ve juiced them with centrifugal juicer, but I’m looking to upgrade to slow juicer. I’m leaning toward the Kuving C7000. The seeds are so HARD and small in the prickly pears I wonder if they can get in the motor and if I would be better off getting horizontal, or that vacuum blender I’ve seem u demo a few times. That sucker looks awesome, but a little expensive.
hard seeds can damage most vertical and even horizontal juicers. See ua-cam.com/video/n2JgAEYgxa4/v-deo.html for my recommendation and what I use
I've got it and it's good, easy to clean use and I probably use it the most often but my Green Star horizontal auger is much better... This one is small and convenient but does not do everything well, I know when to use it and when to bring out the Green Beast. If you know how to use it like John it will do just about everything. So mostly it's ok but in my opinion, don't buy it as your only juicer. It's convenient to just mostly drop the stuff in when the horizontal auger takes some work but does a better job...
So when do you use your green beast just wondering? I’m new to juicing and want to learn
I use my Omega VSJ843 juicer by John’s recommendation just like this and have had no issues. I did have a big issue with trying to do coconut milk after blending the coconut in the blender and then putting it in the juicer. It got clogged from the heavy thick coconut oil it makes. Wont do that again. LOL. To clean everything: baking soda!!! Baking soda only. I use it to scrub all the parts and they come out like new again. When the plastic looks cloudy and the screen looks dirty, just use baking soda paste and 🎉❤
Hello sir I wan buy one of them..so its better then sana727 ?? Which one is good ?? Raply ASAP
so ambitious! I
I though I could juice Wheatgrass in this Juice? The juice grones when I put it in and the top of the juice moves quite a bit. When cleaning out the juicer the grass is wrapped round the center. Do you have an answers to this problem?
If the top gets jammed put it back on and put it in reverse then forward reverse stop it remove the juicer squisher thing. see if it is easier to twist off.
Hi John! bought this juicer from you in 2018 after watching your videos. Loved it BUT a part broke making your detox recipe - the center plastic ring on the metal straining basket. Wrote to Omega on 7/10/21 and still haven’t gotten a reply! Not singing praises on their customer service! Can you help??
The juice flap on my 843 broke off last year. Due to the pandemic and staffing issues, it took 2-3 weeks between each email I sent them to process my claim. It was about 6 weeks to get the replacement part. They sent me the whole bowl, not just the flap so Omega is very honorable in upholding their warranty even if it is slow. If you bought the juicer from John, email him directly on the website. He's amazing at getting back to you, following through and gives the best customer service. He has contacts that can make it right.
IF omega has not helped you and you purchased from discountjuicers, email me and I will ensure you are taken care of.
If the NC 800 doesn’t require cutting and doesn’t clog as easily why is it not your first choice? I saw your comparison video but you didn’t mention the clogging. Also my friend tells me the NC 800 is easier to clean. I’m wondering if I should have gotten the NC 800 instead of the SVJ.
Each juicer has their own set of pros and cons. I can more easily bulk juice in the VSJ843, and its best for MY needs, although many people prefer the NC800 for its benefits and how it works.
Mine gets celery pulp some at top of auger. Am I doing something wrong.
be sure to follow my specific celery juicing procedure ua-cam.com/video/-TiSAC8Evbc/v-deo.html
Is this a newly designed VSJ843?
What can be a problem with the horizontal Omega juicers is that the auger can get stuck inside the screen so tightly, I don't even think "Superman" could separate them. It happened to me when I was juicing some leafy greens including Plantain which may have been too stringy... and I had to get Omega to replace both parts. If it weren't for the 15 year warranty, I would have been out of luck and would be forced into buying another juicer. As it was, getting the parts replaced was a project.
this is a vertical juicer not a horizontal...
@@walkertongdee Obviously, (I know that). John said that horizontal juicers never clog. He made it sounds like they never stop working. I was offering how horizontal juicers jam up and go out of working order another way.
@@emilybh6255 It is rare that horizontal juicers clog, as compared to verticals, that happen much more often. I dont think I ever clogged my horizontal. its important not to overfeed it & have a balanced recipe
Sometimes I use my food processor to chop everything in thin slices, saves time too …. But more clean up!
i would use processor too..
He didn’t even wash the kale just took the rubber band off of it n cut it up 🤭
Coming from the store, it NEEDS to be thoroughly washed before putting it in ur body.
Just wondering why no tomatoes?
Is it still your favorite juicer, in 2024? I presume it's the good extraction of leafy greens that mainly made it your favorite, is that correct?
no. This is no longer my favorite, see ua-cam.com/video/9a9ZgbddIOE/v-deo.html for my favorite, the Nama J2. I use the J2 to make green juice, see ua-cam.com/video/xjIO-geOlAU/v-deo.html
I bought this juicer because I trusted your recommendation.
It is also a nightmare for me. I stopped using it. A waste of $500.00
I bought the shine works great i paid 149.00 for it. It not a bad clean up. The only problem is taking the top off to clean. You have to twist hard for 20 seconds or so. But its worth it.
If you have money, or are willing to sell this one, I would recommend you to try the Evo820 by Kuvings instead. It has been a pleasure for me. I am not affiliated or anything, I just love my juicer. If you have any question about the Evo 820, feel free to ask me.
I cut the skin off of all fruits and vegs that have skin, then I wash everything before I juice.
Damn I was shocked and surprised at 21:06 he starts blacking out 😡
Is this your favorite juicer over the nama j2?
I now prefer the Nama J2 over the Omega VSJ843.
Wow that's just wayyy too much work chopping and prepping I would never juice
Hey just go through McDonald's or burger king
@@jisterKIS Hello internet troll. Thanks for taking the time to make a trolling comment. Hope you feel better about your life now.
This juicer has been nothing but headaches for me, constantly giving me issues and breaking down. I'll never buy another Omega juicer again. It's infuriating!!!
Way too expensive. $500 for a juicer?!?;?;?; Uhhh nooo
