I got my new Omega 8004 juicer today and I felt compelled to do a video review of it. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I bought it to do mainly vegetables, leafy greens, and a minimal amount of fruit. My daughter has Celiac disease so I was very happy when I found out that I could extrude pasta from this. Gluten-free pasta is kind of expensive so to be able to make that on my own is pretty neat. You can also make sorbets with this machine as well which I have already done. If you do a sorbet, you have to run it through at least two times to get a creamy texture/consistency from it. If you do it once, it just isn't very sorbet-ish. Cleanup is a snap with this machine as opposed to a centrifugal type juicer (I had the Maxi-Matic Elite) and it only takes two minutes tops. I'm serious. Two minutes. It also assembles very quickly with no parts that take any sort of effort to remove. Everything just fits and most importantly, it just works. One word of caution I'd throw out there is that it doesn't do kiwi fruit very well at all. The meat is just too soft. This is definitely a vegetable/hard fruit juicer. The juice quality coming out is amazing with no noticeable increase in heat and thus less oxidation. The juice also has VERY LITTLE FOAM when it comes out. Again, a HUGE step up from your typical centrifugal juicer. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. My recommendation? Get one of these. They blow away your department store juicers (I had one...) and most people can't afford a Norwalk or an Angel juicer. I think that this is about as good as it gets. I've personally never used any twin screw machines (like the GSE or the Angel) but I've been told they're very picky with what they like to juice. I've heard the Omega VRT also doesn't like to do wheatgrass or leafy greens as well as the 8004/8006 does.
