Fagor Slow Juicer

Good for most fruits, not your greens
This juicer is great for tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, apples, pineapple, and I am sure a plethora of others. Things like this I had no problems with at all. The problems.. kale, celery, spinach and surprisingly blueberries. Every time I tried juicing these it would clog. I even tried cutting these items up into half inch pieces and it still jammed! It is VERY inconvenient to be in the middle of making a juice and have to stop, take the whole thing apart, and clear the jam. So my advice is, as long as you are not juicing greens you should be ok. If you are juicing greens look for another juicer.

Great Juicer
Initial thoughts from a couple of days juicing...

It does a better job of juicing than the pulp ejection juicer (spinning blade) we had, but the juice has a little more pulp in it (not a lot but noticible). Not that i think that is a bad thing but something to consider. It doesn't really require you to push the fruit down as the auger crunches and self-feeds the fruit and vegetables if they are in the right size.

Cons - somewhat involved cleaning process since it has a lot of pieces. Not hard to clean but lots of parts to clean individually if you are really trying to do it right.

Conclusion: I really like it and I didn't have any issues with clogging on greens (kale or spinach)

Our Fagor is great
We have the Omega 8004 and had purchased the new Omega VERT350HD. Both are top of the line and we love them both. After seeing the Fagor for 199.99 we took the Vert350 back and took a chance on the Fagor. Let me tell you, it juices just as well and actually cleans up a bit easier due to the open slot in the pulp ejecting chute. Its a good looking machine with nice clean styling and is plainly marked for putting it back together after cleaning. Full 5 year warranty on motor and all parts. Get the Omega if you want, its a great machine but it really has nothing on this Fagor unit other than a longer warranty. Happy juicing everyone.(Omega $379.00, Fagor $199.99 and Bed Bath at Beyond)
