Will and Norm get juiced this week while testing two recommended juicers that use different juice extraction techniques. One is a centrifugal juicer that uses a fast-spinning grinding blade, and the other is a masticating juicer that crushes fruit and vegetables into submission. But which yields the most juice? - Наука та технологія

MASTICATING JUICER IS BETTER HEALTHYWISE
I swear these guys do not like each other.
Haha i felt like that - its almost like you have an awkward competitiveness!
Agreed.
I feel the same vibe... Seems like there’s a bit of competition in terms of product knowledge and clashing when it comes to working together to demonstrate the product...
The asian guy is super competitive and a stickler and the white dude is literally wrong about almost everything and makes mistakes all the time, its actually quite funny to watch.
Hahaha. It's hard to watch
Very easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXHNfxr6U9XrHQpsdjUrKNVP231BfS9q9 disassemble and wash. I had a juicer before and remember how much work was to wash it and how little juice I got for this. So, I was sceptical and that's why I did a good amount of research so I don't get disappointed again. So, I picked the Hamilton-Beach 67608A model and I am glad I did. Now, this is a totally different experience! It is powerful and squeezes every ounce of juice so the pulp is almost dry. It's simple and easy to take it apart for washing. I put a plastic bag in the waste container for less cleaning. I am glad I picked this model as it is smaller in size, but delivers the same power as the larger one.
They had an amazing opportunity to deliver a GREAT video, but somehow managed to turn it into something I could have created while drunk at 4am in a neighbor’s kitchen😔
They were just both hungover from the night before
you guys didnt prep well for this at all.
Wait, how can you compare the juices and not taste what the other one can do?
Exactly I'm like seriously
Steph C This was just a waste of time.

Wajid Shah norm is not normal
the white guy was the real dick! That is not how u use a Masticating Juicers! They r not known for speed but for quality of the juice !!!
sounds like one guy is trying to out-do the other.
I have had both kinds of juicers, and the masticating juicer will actually produce a slightly better quality juice with much less foam and less oxidation. But the problem with the masticating juicer is that using it is a LOT more time-consuming, due to the slower motor and smaller opening (meaning you cannot put big stuff through like whole apples and carrots, etc., so you will have to spend a lot of time cutting things up first), and the cleanup is more work.
I prefer the centrifugal juicer (I actually have a Breville similar to the one shown here) mainly for convenience. Believe me, you do NOT want to get a juicer you will dread to use, and that is where the the centrifugal juicer comes out on top. The masticating juicer is just too much work and too much hassle, unless you have tons of time on your hands.

Yes, I agree. Sometimes going for something less superior will actually make you use it if this means it is quicker to do a juice, even with less juice/nutrients if you stick with it and make juice every day rather than only at the weekends when you have more time it might be a nutritional winner to stay with centrifugal. Different people will be more or less busy or be more or less committed. I think it depends on the person - if you rush in the mornings, work a lot or want to do mostly carrot juice ( like me ) you may want to buy the centrifugal one. I also strongly feel that juice should be consumed straight away without storing for days.
Thank you. You just helped me make my decision. I wouldn't have the patience for a masticating juicer.
Well said.
Forgetting the 2nd container for the waste proves you never used the masticating juicer.
Used different glasses to measure, Dropping vegetables often (AND USED THEM), Used same glass to pour different substances, unnecessarily long video, technical difficulties, noticeable competition between the two, failed to get to the point quickly...
Only some faults I noticed, I'm sure others agree.
The Asian guy in this video looks like Ruppert the deli owner that appears a lot on the David Letterman Show. Look Ruppert up on youtube and you'll see what I mean.
How do you know they dropped the vegetables on the floor? They may have dropped them on the table/countertop, in which case it's perfectly OK to use them. Same glass to pour different substances, so what? Juice cocktail. I could point out some other issues, like each one tasting his own juice, so no comparison could be made. They could have poured it in two smaller glasses each, so that each one would taste the end result of both juicers.
Well I have eyes, and common sense. But
irmar Actually, the guy asked him to hand him the carrot off the floor.
I didn't think it was the floor, but you may be right. I'm too lazy to watch the video again just to make sure!
Wow, these guys have no clue on juicing.
jeezus. seriously.
I have an Centrifugal Atlas juicer, made of Cast Iron that was specifically engineered to fix the problems that plague many centrifugal juicers! No heating of the juice, can juice leafy greens, and designed to last a lifetime, no plastic! Also, clean up is super easy, because it uses paper filters! Unfortunately, the juicer isn't made anymore, most likely due the manufacturing cost today, the juicer would be far out of the reach of most people. The Atlas juicer was made in the 1960's. I love this juicer and to me is worth more than Gold! I own 2 of these juicers!
If you've used a centrifugal juicer for any length of time, you will realize the cleaning time is equally as long, so the observation that it takes longer to clean a masticating juicer is incorrect.
Long and shitty. That fine mesh
I have used both types of machines. The centrifugal is faster, but that's just about it. You get better tasting juice with longer shelf life, and higher yield with a slow masticating juicer. The cleaning and breakdown is about the same... I actually prefer cleaning a masticating juicer because the screen is a lot smaller, therefore easier to clean. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are juicing a lot of fruits and veggies at a time the masticating is the better of the two. The high speed centrifugal juices will put out some heat into your juice due to the high speed/friction between the blades and fruit. This heat can be bad for the juice. I'm not an expert so i don't exactly know what the heat does to the juice, but it has something to do with the living stuff, probiotics, enzymes in the raw fruits and vegetables that can be destroyed by the heat. you can google it.
TL:DR
Buy the Omega.
You are using the plunger wrong on the omega
Yeah this was painful to watch.
AHA! I knew it. I don't have an Omega yet, but you aren't supposed to be crushing the fruit in the chute, are ya?
The nerds obviously don't juice. The juice from a masticating juicer is vastly superior to a centrifigul juicer because it is not highly aerated/oxygenated.
scientific studies prove that this theory you mentioned is incorrect
Ambar Khan you should post your sources to support your claim. Otherwise it will be treated as gibberish.
Ambar Khan
nor does it heat it as much.
well the masticating juice is clearly a lot richer in colour
@@silvervega Even 6 years ago, the Deboooonkers were with us, heh.
Worst comparison of all time. So many issues. Could have been helpful. What a waste.
Gabriel Tzukishiro ;How's you finish that bag off so quickly?
Lmao, its like they're personally competing!! Im crying! Hilarious, too much pride in the air to be a serious review.
I was thinking the same thing! 🤣😂 too funny lol
OMG!!! I normally don’t pay that any mind but this was ridiculous.
The guy on the left just could not yield and kept stepping all over the other guy.
The guy on the right would look away every time the other guy made eye contact.
Not a good review from a scientific stand point.
I don't agree , it was a good demo . Both guys had arguments for " their juicer " , Ilearned from it
"could you hand me that carrot on the floor over there" bwaahaahaaaa
I used centrifugal juicer till sometime ago and I decided to switch to a masticating one for the benefits. For serious juicers who needs extra nutrition for disorders and disease, I'd suggest the masticating, but anyone else for general health, I'd say centrifugal is fine.
I never thought infomercial people, doing things all wrong were real, these two guys are the proof
The friction is the biggest difference. Centrifugal actually makes your juice alot warmer (heat caused by friction) which can kill some nutrients. Also, less oxygen in the juice means it will last alot longer and oxidize much slower.
i love how he holds the plunger the other way when hes doing the veggies
Looks like a downgraded version of Rhett and Link.
Lmao
agreed
I clicked the thumbnail thinking it was GMM lol
It's a parallel universe R & L !!
Fede Kroll
Complete nonsense that it will take 13 or 25 minutes to clean the juicers. The Masticating is even easier but neither take much time. The Omega BMJ3300 is better at juice extraction- leaves relatively dry pulp. As for juice bars being cheaper, add in the gasoline and time to drive to a juice bar, not available at all, in some areas and the cost is far less with a home juicer. Also it is a good idea to buy organic and grow organic in your yard. Even very small yards can produce vary large quantities of fruits, vegetables and herbs of all kinds. The purpose of juicing is firstly to fight things like cancer and heart disease- eating pesticidal lunatic GMO food simply will fly in the face of such efforts. The nutrient density is far greater with home grown produce because of the fact that there is zero time from farm to juicer- farm to grocery or farm to grocery to juice bar can be many days or weeks severely degrading nutrient and cancer fighting quality. With a home garden, one can be assured of it being all organic and the soil built with the correct amendments(organic grown produce lives from a soil that produces food with a complex system including microbes, worms and minerals of all kinds). One can produce his own compost with a compost tumbler. All of these things become very easy to do once you have it all set up and learn how to do everything, which just takes a bit of repetition. Vegetable gardening can produce 10s of thousands of pounds of produce from an average yard depending upon the system and techniques employed.
As far as cleaning up the juicer- on the masticating scrub around the surface of the metal band strainer-filter with the enclosed brush and dishwashing liquid- good quality ultra concentrated Palmolive works especially well(and is great on on the hands)followed by a quick scrub inside the tube. Then rinse everything well then fill the sink with hot soapy water and let it all set until the temp is cooled enough to have hands in the water without burning and take a good, quick brushing and finally rinse. The trick with the centrifugal cleaning is to take a good stiff brush with detergent and scrub the outside of the shredder-strainer mesh bowl breaking all the fibres off then flip and the inside is even quicker- mostly rinses off, then rinse and soak everything just like the masticating version. It doesn't take a good 5 minutes once you've done it a few times of actual hands on cleaning time. It is best to use a hot soapy water soak each time, but at least do it once a week to assure the mesh strainers and other areas are sanitized of organic mater completely. Make it all easier and install a small shelf out of the splash zone of the sink for your phablet or tablet and play some youtube videos of the appropriate duration. Time flies.
The difference in juice extracted from produce from organic markets near your home or even better organic produce from your yard and the cost and degradation of a juice bar(drive time and gasoline spent too) or ordinary grocery produce is massive. It is worth EVERY CENT. Consider buying 3 juicers- centrifugal (omega bmj3300) Horizontal Masticating: Omega NC800 and a vertical masticating (Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer)-- with these three machines you can forget about having to buy almost all the factory produced food purchased in the local store and make it all at home. Think about the phrase "factory food" for a moment. Grow your own vegetable garden and get your neighbors to do the same and you can share what you grow around - create a system. Add in a good Kitchenaid commercial mixer and you can bake the best bread you have EVER tasted. It all adds up and pays for itself by increasing the quality of what you eat and increasing the nutritional value which all equates to the most vital thing we all own, our good health. This doesn't even add in things like - factory food is allowed to contain up to 90 insect parts per sample. YUCK!. Get in the driver's seat now! Take back your life. F*** factory food.
The best single juicer, if one were only to buy but one juicer to start with- the vertical masticating juicer or the centrifugal juicer. Overall functionality probably the vertical masticating would edge out the centrifugal. Learn to wrap your lettuce and wheat grass in cylindrical bundles and you can see how the centrifugal has extensible possibilities. With the vertical masticating you get better quality to a significant extent because the speed is only as little as 45 rpm vs 300 times that for the centrifugal- but the centrifugal processes green leafy vegetation easier- no need to cut it(but harder to get super juiced - must roll it up and inter feed it with things like carrots) and the centrifugal is by far the faster juicer of the bunch. If you only want to get 2 juicers then the vertical masticating and the centrifugal are the 2 best choices because their combined feature set will give you a fairly good coverage of making all the factory food. Or get the horizontal and vertical masticating juicers for the best quality juice- vertical better for fruits, nut milks and fruit juices and the horizontal better for leafy green vegetables and wheat grass as well as things like celery. Centrifugal juicers: The BMJ330 by Omega especially is FAST- you can turn big carrots into gallons of juice in a blink. By the way, BM stands for big-mouth meaning it can take even uncut apples- best to core them to remove seeds as apple seeds have trace amounts of organic toxins- some prefer to eat them with seeds.
Centrifugal juicers and BMJ330 or similar models are great for very fast juice extraction- this can increase oxidization of the juice, decreasing shelf life- all juices are best drank the moment you prepare them. Church meetings might be best served with a centrifugal for fast bulk juice creation- remember the high speed of the centrifugal comes with louder noise levels compared to masticating juicers. The horizontal masticating juicer is much better at slow extraction of things like wheat grass and leafy greens without a need to cut them up and also the model suggested will extrude pasta from pasta dough you make in your mixer. It comes with a few different sized pasta dough extrusion disks. It will also make ice cream from frozen bananas and frozen fruit on the spot. The vertical masticating blender is the best for making soy milk which will save you a fortune on soy milk. Just buy top quality, US grown, organic soy beans in bulk. The two most important items to make sure you NEVER eatunless they are certified ORGANIC are corn products and that includes corn oil and soy products. Both of which are produced with GMO UNLESS THEY ARE CERTIFIED ORGANIC which has left lab animals riddled with large sized cancerous tumors. DO NOT EAT NON-ORGANIC CORN OR SOY PRODUCTS EVER! THIS INCLUDES THINGS LIKE CORN FLAKES!! Take back your life! THROW THE BOXES AWAY. START FRESH.
Regarding the Omega brand of juicer they give you a full 10 to 15 year warranty on all the parts and the motor. Most seem to give about a year warranty on the parts and motor and some give more on the motor but the motor is the least likely to go bad. These are long term purchases and you likely have them for many decades and so the cost is very low on a per day basis over the life of the product. Be careful to use them with some care. Set out a big box or bowl that won't fall off the counter top to store all the parts. Firstly buy juicing books. BTW the best blender overall continues to be the Vitamix and it comes with a life-changing book of recipes that will add years to your life. Watch videos on everything gardening to juicing. Work to optimize the entire process to shorten task times and make the entire process super easy for you. Even if you can't garden you can grow flats of wheetgrass- cats love them too and micro greens YUM and powerfully nutritional(you can garden in nearly every situation, just build or have some raised beds built to fill with the best quality soil and compost and install drip watering so you can go on vacation without worrying).

***** You may be perfectly right as per the qualities of apple seeds, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that if you juice the whole apple, with skin and seeds, it becomes so bitter that for most of us it's undrinkable.
irmar Bitter? Take out the core and juice with the skin. Most of the nutrients are in the skin and if your apples etc aren't organic... the pesticides also reside in the skin. Buy organic or grow your own. I think you'll find it very drinkable without the core. Don't you eat the skin when you chew on an apple? Hmmmm, get goin' girl, tastes better!
irmar another thought, throw in a sweet pear or two (also with skins) and you should find that great, don't leave out the skins!
Interesting comparison, thanks guys! I have a Breville, just thought I would add that if you load the veggies slower you will get more juice
Great for people healing from cancer and other diseases!
Better juice for an auger is the HUROM juicer. Also you lose nutrients in the breville, no matter how small because it heats up and actually cooks the vegetables. Juice from Breville is less pulpy but also more waste. Also when doing leafy vegetables even with the masticating you are supposed tear them up.
There is a lot of juice left in the pulp of green leafy vegetables in the centrifugal juicer . If you redo the pulp the yield is pretty close . ( because centrifugal chops and throws out pulp at a high rate ) .
There is more froth in Centrifugal juicer suggesting higher oxidation , hence less nutritious than the masticating juicer
Ease of use : Centrifugal very easy ( fast juicing and easy cleanup ) vs Masticating requires lot of patience during juicing and post clean up commitment .
You guys are so amazingly bad at using the slow juicer.. wow..
An American show consistently using metric units, I'm impressed.
These guys are smart
You can tell that by the fact that the juice spilled all over the table.
At one minute they tell you the diameter of the feed tube. Listen again.
Well but they're nerdy, educated and aware! I'd wager good money neither of them will be voting for Drumpf!
Bazooka Joe
You're just a troll with a throwaway account that's full of Fox News lugenpresse like Al-Z.
The fact that they hate each other really shines through in this.
As a health care professional, I can tell you that it does work. There is lots of research being done on monosaccharides and their effects on both triglycerides and insulin resistance. The bottom line is that over consumption of ANY simple carb leads to weight gain and insulin resistance. Eating a diet rich in potatoes and rice isn't necessarily bad for a normal healthy person IF they are exercising and restricting calories, but then trying to correlate that to meat consumption is off topic.
Dude you're doing a video where there's two people involved stop cutting your friend off every time he tries to say a word or just do a video alone. And yes this is to the guy with the funny t-shirt.
What you can come to expect from a person wearing his own face on his Tee
They really should have tried each others so that they could compare the taste of the less oxidized and more oxidized juices. Bah. Adam would have swapped.
I've heard so much raving about how much better the masticating juicer is over the centrifugal. You get a fair amount more juice with the masticating with the leafy greens but over all there isn't a big difference. I'll go with the Breville for the speed and convenience. If this is something I'm going to do daily I want to make it as simple as possible. Good comparison video!
These guys have worked together for how long? And they won't even share a glass with each other?
I actually think the clean up for the centrifugal juicer would be more time consuming. You have just as many or more parts to clean. including the mesh blade, which is not fun.... Not really impressed by these guys know how, when it comes to these equipment.
I agree, they are kind of blundering their way through the review and have no natural skills in regards to using equipment. Watching that guy with the masticating juicer is almost laughable he’s useless.
The comparison of juice taste was not well executed either. They both say the juice tastes good even though they did not taste the juice from both machines. This is more like a show between friends making a video on how their juicer is better than the other. The one with the masticating juicer is obvious that he doesn't know how to use it.
Just saying, with the breville juicer you can put a plastic bag in the pulp container to avoid cleaning it
Anyone else notice the guy using the masticating juicer used the feed stick wrong the whole time?
the important part is that the kale juice was doubled, fructose is bad for you in a lot of ways, juice greens and chuck in a bit of beet and down the hatch
for your health
This video is incredibly misleading, and these two guys are obviously clueless. I own both of these juicers, and can tell you for a fact that the masticating juicer is far easier to clean. In regards to speed... Yes you can feed things into the centrifugal juicer faster, but when you take into account the masticating juicer's higher yield, quicker cleaning time, and longer shelf life of the juice produced, as well as higher nutrient content, it becomes quite obvious that it is the more efficient machine. Do NOT base your purchase of a juicer on this video alone. Do more research. There are numerous other videos on UA-cam done by people who know FAR more on the subject.
David Darrow They are so annoying!!!
Yep, I can vouch for the coldpress/masticating juicer making long-lasting juice and concentrated.
Fully agree
Yea these guys did a horrible job reviewing these,they are very misleading and to someone who is not versed in these things,theses guys can do alot of damage
Yes I am also using manually operated masticating juicer it is good and have higher nutritional values then centrifugal one
Don't mean to be an ass, but the guy using the slow juicer, used the pusher upside down the whole time.....lol
Yeah,he sertainly isnt the brightest of the two,maybe that's why he often dessends on his college ;-)
Wreak havock He was actually using the pusher the correct direction, but yeah, they don't really know what they're talking about
You are an ass.
totally right....
Excellent demo guys. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks so much, guys. Lots of info I needed.
They claim that the horizontal auger machine is harder to clean than the centrifugal? Can't agree with that at all.
I've seen a lot of negative comments on this video, but it covered a lot of points that most other didn't. I don't have a juicer and have been spending a fair bit of time figuring out which one to get and I found this very helpful. Thanks for uploading the video guys.
I feel like this is the kind of thing they do on like, old lady morning talkshows, where Will is the expert Juicer they brought in to demonstrate and explain this new 'craze' in juicing, and Norm is the ever agreeable host. It's glorious.
To all those name calling negative people out there...shut up! People make mistakes and these guys are not professionals, agreed, but the effort put forth was awesome. They went through a lot of time, money and effort and I appreciate it!
We all do appreciate it, but they could have planned it more carefully, if they want to go public.
centrifugal force is definitely a real thing....
partykrew666 Kind of. It's a fictitious force that is not present within a non-inertial frame of reference. It's called an inertial force because it is a reaction to acceleration of the aforementioned frame of reference and not a physical reaction between two objects. Centripetal force would be the connecting force between two objects, or, a physical reaction. You put a ball on a string connected to a stick, it's the tension on the rope. Or, yanno, gravity.
So, centrifugal force is a real thing, but only with certain conditions. It exists like winning the lottery exists. Things have got to happen before you get all that money (force).
TheErusPrime *the more you know*
partykrew666 the only reason I checked "comments" is to see if anyone picked on that.....
@@TheErusPrime I know this is 3 years later but just because centrifugal force is dependent on a precursory event to take place does not make it fictitious to any extent
Nope it is not a true force. "TheErusPrime" is correct and I'm a stupid mechanical engineer I don't know anything.
You didn't try each others juices to compare flavours. After spilling some you didn't repeat to compare yields. The yields weren't measured scientifically. Lame.
I thought it was awesome, this is what i needed to watch before I go out an buy a juicer today.
Great video!!! Would you believe that after watching your video I went to an appliance store and purchased the same exact Omega that you featured in your video. The store was actually discontinuing it and I purchased it for only $72. I just juiced two jerusalem artichokes, three carrots and two beets. I thought it was going to taste disgusting but it turned out to be very sweet and tasty. I am now a juicer for the rest of my life. Thanks again for great video.
The guy with the beard is spastic. I have both juicers although I have never tried the masticator yet. I have read the differences in the end product.
spastic is a good word to describe him
too bad hes doesnt seem to know how his juicer works.
michael T
The sound editing please. Moist wet chewing and swallowing sound is disgusting. Please edit it out
I could've done without the amplified gulping.
The masticating juicer is great for frozen bananas. Add a few blueberries or other frozen berry, and you've got a great desert in a few minutes.
I laughed throughout this whole video. Great job!
Winner: The Breville in spite of the bias against the centrifugal.
Good test.
Will Smith After further research, I ended up buying a 1980's Vintage Osterizer Galaxie...lol (Decided to avoid juicing for now and just Smootherize :-D

I had both kinds but although masticating is better for veg the damn thing is slllllllllow I think I'm gonna get a centrifugal juicer unless somebody advises me. I tried both centrifugal, hand powered masticating juicers and horizontal and vertical masticating juicers in my lifetime I want to get back into juicing but don't want to waste my life waiting for it juice.
Love my Omega 8004. Super simple to clean, quiet, excellent yield, low temp., etc. Good machine. Masticating > centrifugal unless all you're making is large amounts of fruit juice. Also unless your fingers are 8" long it would pretty much be impossible to get them into the Omega's moving parts, i'm not sure why Will is so concerned about that.
I loved the close-ups of the masticator's poop chute! Great job!
Cleaning masticating juicer takes less than minute under running water, not a big commitment. You can also use it to grind seeds and nuts. I use it to make protein bars. Best device in my kitchen.
"I'm not sharing juice with you!"
Huge fan of tested.
Bit harsh
yeah, that seemed a bit rude, plus kind of ruined the whole "which juice tastes better" thing.
Stopped watching the video when I heard you say the Breville is "typically easier to clean." Breville is way harder to clean.
The guy with the white juicer totally had his "plunger" upside down, made it look 100 x harder than needed. They are not CUT out for this type of job...
I have little time during the week and what I do to keep it simple and fresh is: Sunday I get my fruit and veggies and I take 1h to cut and peel everything to fit the breville's chute, and I prepare daily individual vacuum sealed bags with my sous-vide machine. Since it takes the air out, they perfectly last all week in the fridge without browning or changing texture or flavors. Every morning, open bag, down the chute, drink fresh. Wash machine. Trick: Put a plastic bag in the waste basket.
I have to say, you two are fools, lol. First of all, I have the Omega 8004 which is pretty much identical to the Omega you are using with the exception of the black 8x harder auger. It takes me less than 5 minutes to clean. VERY easy to clean. Also, the Omega you are using has a 10 year warranty (my Omega 8004 has a 15 year warranty), the Breville has a 1 year warranty. You should have mentioned that. Plus you made the Omega look bad with the way you were putting the kale in. Looks like you did not know what you were doing. I use my Omega daily, and even make sorbets, and my own homemade nut butters. Try doing that with the centrifugal, lol.
Brian Weegan
seriously lmao why the fuck would u put it in stem side down!!!
was this show thrown together in 10 minutes? they seem incredibly unprepared.
Despite that criticism I still enjoyed it!
the clean up is where a vita mix or some similar blender comes into its own, they basically can clean themselves and they do more than one thing. Also you keep the fiber and if you want add tea, yogurt, protein, spam, you can with very little trouble. good video guys.
Hint, when juicing leafy greens soak them in water for an hour before juicing. its gets about 20% more juice.
Did Norm almost call it an Emasculating Juicer? I don't think I want to see one of those...
Sounds like something they might have in the cuckoo's nest to deal with patients.
Will Smith I know what he was trying to say. That was not what I was talking about.
I've had 3 high speed juicers and now I have an Omega Vert 350 and there is no comparison. The Omega had drier pulp, very easy to clean, and the juice is better. The only downside is that it doesn't do fibrous fruits and vegetables very well. My high speed juicers wasted juice, sloppy and messy to clean and the juice is not as good. In my opinion the real secret of having a juicer is the ease of clean-up. Most high speed juicers are messy and you soon get tired of using and cleaning them. My Omega is fun, I haven't missed a day in the 6 months to a year that I've had it. I go through a lot of apples, carrots and oranges and I usually take that juice and blend it with pineapple. After drinking the juice I usually throw all the scraps in the Vita mix and pour it down the drain. This summer the scraps will go into the compost. I like pulpy juice, and the Omega will do both pulp free and extra pulp.
Thanks Jerry for posting.....I heard they were good. Think I will invest in one. Hope all is well with you. C
I started with a Bella centrifugal juicer and switched to an Omega masticating juicer. Honestly I juiced more with the centrifugal juicer because I could feed whole carrots or halved apples through it. I think the masticating juicer is better but I don't make juice unless I have time to cut the carrots into little pieces. Sometimes I use a food processor to slice the carrots before I juice them but that's too much different equipment to mess with.
Had both types and got the masticating juicer for several reasons, one is because its a lot faster to clean, which it is. Takes 2 or three minutes, whereas the centrifugal takes close to 10. The prep work is a bit more I have found for the centrifugal as the food has to be smaller to go through the unit.
you guys tried to do a good job. It would have been better if you weighed the out put and weighed the fiber and tasted each blind folded (taste would be subjective). Great attempt at a review tho both of you have a good personality. However this could have been much better done. All and all thank you for the review.
you were being way too nice.... It was kind of a shit show.....
Slower juicers > everything else.
I think part of the "juicing experience" is the amusement gained by watching the centrifugal juicer vaporize whatever goes into it.
I've got a life hack for the kale problem with the Breville juicer, simply grab the pulp and pop it back down the shoot, you should get a little over the half amount originally made
It really hurt my eyes watching this. Appreciate the attempt but at least know a little about juicing before trying to profess. Using the plunger upside down with the Omega, forgetting the pulp container,... Having no idea about the true cleaning time... ouch!
"can you hand me that carrot on the floor for a sec?"

Great review and entertaining. Thanks, guys!
From my own experience, due to their peculiar consistency, the best electricaly powered juicer for citrics still is the classical citrics juicer.
Chaotic!!!
And very hard to watch....
99potoy Should've gone to Specsavers.
these guys dont know jack!
u can really tell the difference with the greens-the masticating would be the way to go! if u don't use a lot of hardy greens i think the centrifugal would be okay-i love juicing :)
They did not measure by volume because the densities of the liquids were different due to the centrifuge adding air into the liquid. Measuring the mass is a more accurate representation of the yield.
Having the time of my life watching this raw review! Hahaha
What a terrible video.. Why not taste both?
note: with a centrifugal juicer I juice wet things last because the pulp tends to stick in the screen causing a loss of juice from anything after.
actually if you paid attention. they did the weight of the start and the levels of juice. Also dont forget the spill for the orange juice. they did admit their mistake of not having the stuff to taste both juices.....
A bad comparison of juicers
you need to compare by tasting, stop try to be funny, you're not.

Lol the guy with the glasses 👓 was having a hard time with that kale lmao 😂
Thank you guys this was really helpful!
They don't know how to pronounce "centrifugal" or "masticating". They don't know a masticating juicer needs two recipients. They forgot to have two glasses each so they can compare juices. They leave the orange pulp in the juicer making carrot juice. They don't measure either weight nor volume... The one operating the Omega forcefully stuffs 2 or 3 branches of kale onto the auger...
Well... let's say that, from this video, I have learned two things :
1° those guys don't know either juices nor juicers ;
2° they did not prepare their video.

get over the cooties norm and share the juice so we know if there is a taste difference, I mean, really, come on! Out of all of this, isn't the taste the most important part? That was awkward.
Anyway thanks for the other info. I really expected a lot more from the masticating, as far as the juicing amount. Really would have like to see the actual cleaning time and just not theorizing. I have a jack la lane centrifug..might be easier cleaning the innards, but there is microscopic flinging and juice leaking...and the cleaning of the whole area takes a lot of time.
Wish I had seen this earlier - we've gone from the Breville type to just using a high end blender.
I have a breville juicer and one of the tips that works well is if you are juicing more than one type at a time wrap leafy greens around something harder like an apple or carrot. Or if you are only juicing leafy greens try bundling it or folding it over itself to double it's thickness to juice better. As long as your juicer doesn't make hot juice/pulp you shouldn't really have to worry about too much oxidation and you can run the pulp through the juicer one more time. And if you don't plan on making something out of the pulp put a plastic bag in the pulp basket and you can just toss it away. No fuss, no mess.
Why put more plastic into a waste dump? Take the pulp outside and use it as mulch or compost.
Obviously everyone doesn't have a compost or any intentions of gardening or the like, which is why I said if you DON'T have intentions of using it then throw it out.

How bout people just eat their fruits and vegetables and take the necessary dietary fiber that your body needs anyways. juicing is a waste of time and energy. Otherwise juicing and throwing away all the pulp could be another form of food waste.
Clearly you don't know anything about juicing Mony Ty. The pulp can easily be used in many things other than throwing it away if you intend to. Many people use it to make energy/fiber/protein bars or baking. Like I said, everyone doesn't want to though and that's their right. .
In addition to that, the less your body has to work to break down food to get the nutrients aids in the natural efforts to cleanse itself and promote healing. Juicing has been known to help people lose weight, help with skin conditions, hair issues, properly intake non artificial vitamins, etc. The list goes on way too long to name.
It goes slightly above just eating right from the start and an enormous help for people that don't. And lets face it, most people don't. I've seen a nice amount of hefty vegetarians these days too.. You can knock it if you want but if you're not lazy about it, it's a great help.
Is norm a germaphobe or what.
dont give up your day job
At the beginning of the video, Will sounded a bit condescending, dismissing Norm's view that the two juicers are the centrifugal and masticating types, saying those descriptions do not exist! Norm prefers 'centrifical' and 'mascerating'. It didn't stop there...
Oh my... Well, 'jigawatts' is a real thing too!
