When I researched juicers, it was important to me to find a low-speed one. This summarizes why:
The high speeds heat up the juice and can cause damage to some of the perishable nutrients in the vegetables.
The Omega is a single gear machine that turns at a slow 80 RPM's to ensure that nothing is lost through heated elements in your juice. There is no wildly spinning basket or destructive, high-speed chopping blade. Therefore, heat and impact shock are virtually eliminated and oxidation is significantly reduced. The result? More of the delicate nutrients survive!
Now, I'm considering upgrading to a Vita-mix. But, the super-high speed scares me... why would I be so careful about the speed in my juicer, in order not to damage the enzymes and nutrients, then get a blender that whips the crap out of everything? :confused:
