Subject: Recommend your awesome juicer that you've used for more than 2 years
We've been using our Omega masticating juicer consistently for over a year and a half and love it. Mechanically it works perfectly.
We have a little trouble with the drum cap, as the threading appears to have altered sometimes making it slightly difficult to reassemble. DH has no problem with it but I do. I should just spend the $12 for a new piece.

I got the Omegaabout 10 years ago - still works like a champ. It's this one:

The only complaint is the citrus juicer attachment is worthless! We juice citrus in the mornings and vegies in the p.m. The citrus attachment broke almost immediately, they replaced it gratis, it broke again, they replaced it again and then we just stopped using it and bought a breville citrus juicer for about $100. The citrus attachment was plastic while the rest of the machine is stainless. Good luck - i can honestly recommend this juicer if you plan to use a different machine for citrus.

It's not mine, and pretty new, but my neighbor has a nutri bullet that liquifies kale, which I've never seen before, so I'm pretty impressed!

I have an Omega Vert HD juicer. I have had it for about a year and a half and I use it three to four times a week and make four to six big containers of juice each time. (I know. I know. I just love green juice.) I give it an unqualified thumbs up.
I am pretty careful to alternate high water vegetables (mostly cucumbers) with more fibery vegetables (usually Kale) so that it doesn't get clogged. Make sure to take the hard stalk off of the Kale and rip the leaves into smallish pieces. The same goes for celery. It doesn't always get fruits really dry on the first pass, but I run the pulp through again and it will take out more juice. However, I think it came with a finer sieve that I can no longer find that might eliminate this step.
Happy juicing!

Pretty straight forward. I've read the reviews, now I'd like some help from the ladies.
TIA!
