(OrganicJar) So my friends and I decided to have a ‘Juice Off’! I wanted to see who had the better juicer. I of course said I did, but I could be partial to my omega juicer.
We took each of our juicers (see more info about them below) and tested quantity and quality of the juice and pulp produced as well as how easy they are to clean. Oh and we measured out 6 oz of raw organic carrots to keep it fair.
Make sure to watch the video and let us know who you think won!
The Contenders:
BRAUN
Model: MP 75
Type: 4235
Cost: FREE (from craigslist.com)
PROS:
- Portable
- Lightweight
- Perfect Price
They actually don’t make this juicer, the Braun MP-75 anymore, which is maybe why we found it on craigslsit.com for free but I have seen them on ebay. I have to say I was extremely impressed at how well this juicer performed. I liked that it was small, lightweight and relatively easy to clean. This is great if you’re an occasional juicer or travel a lot. It doesn’t extract as much juice as it should, which means the pulp is not as dry as the other juicers.
OMEGA
Model: 8005
Cost: $260
PROS:
- Juices Wheat Grass
- Makes Nut Butters
- Easy to Clean
This is my beautiful juicer, which I spent 2 weeks researching and in my opinion is amazing! The Omega 8005 Juicer is the most effective single gear masticating juicer on the market. Designed and engineered for health-conscious people who want greater variety in their juicing routine, the Omega 8005 Juicer has the ability to juice everything from fruits and vegetables and can even make nut butters.
In my opinion what makes this the best juicer is how easy it is to clean and it’ll juice wheat grass! Even though (when u watch the video) it doesn’t extract as much juice as the Breville, that is easily compensated for by how easy it is to clean. Its also very quite and doesn’t take up that much space.
BREVILLE
Model: 800JEXL
Cost: $260
PROS:
- Extremely Fast
- Titanium Cutting Disc
- Two Speeds
This is Lisa Paris’s juicer, she calls it the Cadillac of juicers and she’s correct….right down to its gigantic size. The Breville 800JEXL Fountain Elite Juicer has commercial performance. It’s 1000 watts power up to 13,000 RPM for up to 30% more juice than traditional juicers. In the video you can clearly see it does produce the most amount of juice and the pulp is by far the driest.
It uses a titanium cutting disc and uses a stainless steel micromesh filter. The cutting disc is so powerful that pineapple can be juiced in large chunks with the rind on.
Who Won?
I’m very curious to see what juicer all of you thought won! Please make sure to leave a quick comment and let us know. Cheers! Jason

I would say Courtney’s is the wettest, but really…all of the pulp looks great to me.

I demand a rematch and Olympic style drug testing prior to the next juice off. The Breville has been linked to performance enhancing drugs in the past. Go Omega!!!!

Between Jason’s and Lisa’s…very close, but I have to choose Lisa’s. Thanks for doing the research for me!

Second attempt…
I love the video. It seems like you had a lot of fun doing it.
Suggestion: Don’t race. Ease of use of the machine is the important part and it’s easy to determine by looking at how easily user puts veggies into juicer. Rushing through a race simply adds human error possibility (as was the case with spills and carrots getting stuck).
I think the most important thing to demonstrate in the first portion is efficiency; How well does it extract juice. Which isn’t dependent on speed.
The cleaning will be exactly as it appears on your second video.
PS: Try different items. For example beets or apples.

Breville, no question but all of them are a pain to clean. I prefer my Vitamix. Pulpy juice but you are getting everything from the fruits and vegetables, no waste. And you only have to clean the pitcher which takes five seconds. Fabulous!

That was a lot of fun Jason… you did a GREAT job of the video… love the music, love the overlays & love the pictures of the Juicers…. you did wonderful putting it all together… I know it must have been a lot of hard work/ late nights!

Love the vid. It was like a UFC Match in the Produce Section- brilliant. Looked awesome Jason, great work Court. Let’s get our shoot on in 2010:)

Lisa won, but I do think you would have made more and better juice if you did the process slower.
Vanessa | Jan 19, 2010 | Reply
Very interesting, but hands down Breville Won. I have a Jack Lalenne juicer that does everything but nuts, and a few other small restrictions. It’s easy to clean and cost me $100.00 5 years ago. I use it about 4 to 5 time a month in the winter…..way more in the summer and never had any mechanical problems. Yes, the VitaMix is an awesome, and very expensive machine………

I love the Omega, but cost is a factor for me! Had to go with the lessor expensive Hamilton Beach-had best reviews for lower cost juicer. But my next one will definitely be the Omega!

Lisa won of course

Lisa Won in sheer yield, as this test primarily tested yield. There are many factors besides yield, such as juice quality, clean up time, etc. I challenge you to do the same test with 10 oz of kale.. Jason would win hands down. Its best to pick the juicer that will yield the most of what you intend to juice most often. As well as taking other factors into consideration (price, ease of cleaning, quality of juice, speed of cleaning, multifunctions (nut butters, “ice” cream, etc). I feel juicing green leaves is where its at.

It will sound strange, but personally my favorite juicer is an attachment for the Kitchen Aid food processor. The #1 reason is it’s easy and does a great job, but the #2 reason…aptly, is that cleanup is so easy…the hopper is HUGE and it is VERY easy to remove the fruit/vegetable fibre, and everything but the motor just goes into the dishwasher. Quick, easy, and cleanup is no a snap! No crap (#2, get it? *smirk*).

Does anyone own a jack lalanne tiger juicer? any feed back u can give will be great!! it differs from the power juicer, but i can not seem to find any info on it.

Lisa! Driest pulp! Jason’s seems messier with those two bins. But we didn’t get to see the clean up!
