Functions
The Omega VSJ843RS is a vertical, masticating juicer. The vertical position of this top-quality juicer allows gravity to play a part in the juicing process. Masticating juicers have a rotating auger which crushes ingredients against a mesh wall in order to extract juice from them. This juicer also squeezes the ingredients first for ultimate juicing. The Omega VSJ843RS is rare in that it keeps the speed of the auger as slow as possible in order to keep heat transfer down. This auger has 43 RPM which helps it to protect nutrients and enzymes as well as slowing down the oxidation process to give the resultant juice an impressive 72-hour shelf life. This makes Omega VSJ843RS great for families and entertaining as you can save batches of juice for up to two days before it starts to degrade.
The Omega VSJ843RS also only uses 150 watts of power which helps you to keep your energy bills down as well as minimizing the environmental impact of using this labor-saving device. Despite these slow processes, the Omega VSJ843RS has impressive juicing power thanks to its dual edge auger which is a rare juicer feature. The auger also has a tighter fit tolerance which increases the juice yield of this great-value juicer and breaks down fibers more thoroughly than competitors. This helps the Omega VSJ843RS to create smoother, nutrient-dense juice.

Ease of Use
The Omega VSJ843RS even has some brilliant user-friendly features. Its slow motor means that it is one of the quietest juicers on the market, which is great as it won’t be an intrusive presence in your home. The slow speed of the motor does however also mean that the juicing speed isn’t the fastest. Assembling this great-value juicer is easy, and it comes with a 30oz juice container which holds enough juice for two people. The Omega VSJ843RS also has a 30oz pulp container meaning that you don’t have to keep emptying it all the time.

As a result of this, you do have to prepare your ingredients first by cutting them up before adding them to the juicer which is a bit of a pain, but it’s worth it for the quality of juice that this great-value juicer produces.
