I was soooooo excited! I washed everything up, and used it. I noticed at first, and was worried about the smaller chute, but alittle more chopping was NOT a big deal (you have to chop things first, so a couple of more chops is no problem)
When I started juicing, I was thinking, "How is this going to JUICE, it only has that "round" thing??" BUT it juiced BEAUTIFULLY!!! I love, love, LOVE how quiet it is...and how dry the pulp is, and how "clean" the juice is (my old juicer left alot of foam!)
So far, I LOVE IT It was also VERY easy to clean!! I can't wait to make nut butter with it!!
Thanks everyone who helped me make my decision!! I know there were lots of you who helped, I can't remember your names....but THANK YOU!!

Good for you abetterlife!! I had my little juiceman jr. for about 2 years...still working, I just wanted something "better". I love to juice, and would have juice everyday.....I think it is wise to buy a cheaper juicer at first, to see if you can justify the $$$ spent on another more pricey one! Good luck.

Oh yeah, I also wanted a juicer that would do nut butters and "food process"!! This was a major deal to me also, because I will not buy store bought nut butters, and have to make my own using a coffee mill, and I knew that a better juicer would make nut butter also!!

Have you made any nut butters yet with it? I'm curious how it does with that, also how it does with making ice cream (I think it does that right?), thanks, Alanna

learningrawways:
I HAVE made banana/cherry icecream with it. I made it the first time using the rest of the banana I had frozen. I was nervous because non-raw DH was watching. It came out sooooo soooo smooth....and at just a fraction of the time it takes me to do ice cream in a FP!! This machine is SOOO quiet, and quick. I recommend it HIGHLY! I can't wait for my next batch of bananas to ripen, so I can freeze them and have more ice cream. It was much creamier than FP ice cream. DH said it was "REALLY GOOD!"
I haven't had a chance to make nut butter out of it yet.....I have to buy some almonds to soak, dehydrate, and then make into butter. I am certain my Omega will do a FINE job though!!
Happy juicing!
