About this item
- Low speed, 80 RPM masticating style juicing system. Juicer processes at 80 rpm's, squeezing instead of grinding. This allows the juice to maintain its pure color, natural taste, vitamins and nutrients.
- Dual stage juicer. First, juice is extracted by crushing the fruit or vegetable. Then, before the pulp is ejected, the pulp is squeezed during the second pressed stage. This results in a higher yield of juice and a very dry pulp.
- Economical since the juicer is so efficient and productive, you'll get the greatest amount of nutrient rich juice from the least amount of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens
- The low speed system limits froth and foam preventing oxidation. Juice can be stored for up to 72 hours without degradation or juice separation.
- Three settings: On, Off and Reverse. Reverse is an option to use when something is stuck or you need to unclog.

Product Description
The patented screw design of the auger is more efficient when squeezing and pressing ingredients to extract juice. The hopper is conveniently located at the top of the juicer. The VRT comes with a pusher to push ingredients into the juicer. Easy to assemble, the hopper attaches to the bowl, which then attaches to the base. The VRT350 also features two spouts and two 64-ounce containers -- one for fresh juice and one for pulp ejection. You can also pour water through the chute to self-clean the juicer when changing ingredients. The VRT is compact, taking up very little space on your countertop. This versatile juicer is also easy to clean.

So on to the Omega VRT 350: I decided on a masticating juicer because I knew that I wanted the ability to store juices for at least a day. One of the benefits of masticating juicers is that you can do just that due to the low oxidization of the juice. The longest I have stored a juice is about 48 hours. I tend to make large juices (I get very close to overflowing the container that comes with the juicer) and I will normally pour the juice into 1 or 2 glass bottles to store, then drink the rest. The juice is definitely best fresh. There is a bit of separation when the juices are stored overnight (from what I can tell this is the pulp and the juice separating, it is nothing like the separation you see with centrifugal juicers!), but a good shake and they takes almost exactly the same as they do fresh.
The juicer comes with two filters, one coarse and one fine. The coarse filter definitely leaves a lot of pulp in the juice. So much that it seems more like it was blended rather than juiced. While it does make the drink a bit...chewier...it also makes for a much more substantial and filling juice. My goal is to transition myself to the coarse filter so that I can gain even more of the benefits from the produce I am juicing. The fine filter, on the other hand, strains most of the pulp from the juice. I would not say all of it, there are definitely still a few bits and pieces of pulp. This will not be a super smooth juice, like that concentrated "orange juice" garbage they sell at the grocery stores. If you absolutely cannot stand pulp in your juice, this may not be the machine for you. One option would be to further strain the juice with a sieve or cheesecloth, but I have not tried it.
As far as functionality, ease of use, cleaning, etc. the Omega VRT has it's pros and cons. Overall I would say that most of the parts seem to be very well made and are holding up quite well after several weeks of juicing. I have noticed some wear on the plastic parts of the sieve that I am keeping an eye on for now. I also found that the juicing basket (for lack of a better word - I'm referring to the main part of the machine that houses the auger) is very difficult to remove from the base. A small amount of coconut oil rubbed on the black locking mechanisms has made this problem non-existent. The filters can also be a bit difficult to clean. I find that tiny particles of produce easily clog them and these components easily take the longest out of everything for me to wash after a juice. Even still, I do not find clean up to be terribly difficult. I have tried the "self-cleaning" trick of running water through the running juicer, but I found this just made a mess and the juicer still had to be hand washed afterwards. When I make a juice I usually clean the juicer immediately, taking apart the machine and cleaning each piece right away so nothing gets dried on. I would say the whole process from start (taking veggies out of the fridge, cleaning & prepping) to finish (cleaning all components, wiping the counters, etc.) takes me about 30 minutes. Again, I am making at least 3-4 juices at a time, so this averages to 10 minutes or less per juice. I'm also slow and methodical, so this process could probably be shorted for people in a hurry.
I feel like I had a lot to say about this juicer, and I'm sure I'm missing some points that I wanted to make. Overall, it is definitely a product that I would buy again. But like I mentioned earlier, this is because I feel this particular style of juicers suits my needs best. There are some basic issues: celery doesn't juice particularly well (this is true for anything stringy, it will clog the port where the pulp comes out), it can be time consuming to prep everything (you need to cut things like carrots/beets/apples into small chunks to get them through the opening), and there is still pulp in the juice even with the finest filter. However, none of these issues concern me terribly. I simply don't juice large amount of celery (no more than 2 or 3 stalks in a juice) and make sure to cut it into small piece, alternating it with harder items like carrots or beets. The extra prep time doesn't bother me. Something about cleaning, chopping, and preparing a giant bowl of veggies, some fruit, and the odd herb or chunk of ginger is relaxing and exciting. I never juice from a recipe, so I have no idea how they will turn out (answer: so far so good!) so it's always a bit of an adventure. The pulp doesn't bother me as I've always liked my OJ with lots of pulp, so having a bit of something in my juice doesn't seem weird or gross to me.
Overall, I think that the Omega VRT is a great masticating juicer. I like it for its compact size and ease of use. You can also supposedly make nut milks with it, a feature I have yet to try. I hope that this review has been helpful for someone who is considering purchasing a juicer. Researching what you want is very important (unless you just have money to throw away on $300+ appliances). I have one friend with a centrifugal juicer who loves it because it is exactly what he wanted, and another with the same juicer who regrets not having done more research and spending the extra money on the masticating juicer she later realized was what she really wanted. On that note..happy juicing!
Does the VRT deliver? A resounding YES! Better than you would believe, there hasn't been a produce item yet that it hasn't squeezed the life out of into tasty juice. We've been running the juice gauntlet ever since it arrived a few days ago, spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, pineapple, oranges, apples, ginger, and garlic are just some of what our Vrt has chewed on. It has handled all of it from the soft fruits to the leafy spinach it works like a champ. I'm sure there are a variety of juicers out there that would do the same, but I know I picked the right one for our household. Overall I'm very pleased, and had a friend come over who has a juice fountain centrifugal design and was amazed. Y the quietness, the yield, and the quality. The Omega puts out the best tasting juice you've ever had.
Here's some questions I had in the beginning, I'm not sure they are yours but they would've helped me being a new juicer, they are curiosities I didn't see the answer to during my search for juice.
1. Is there a ton of pulp? I saw mixed reviews on this and wasn't sure what to expect, I'm not a huge pulp fan, but I don't hate it unless it overpowers the texture of the entire glass. The VRT comes with a large and small strainer and I've never used anything but the small/fine screen. If you've ever ordered fresh squeezed OJ at a restaurant and know what it's like you can expect less pulp than that. If you bought a store bought juice the VRT produced it would probably say "some pulp." it's not pulp free but it doesn't get in the way either. I've been pouring my juices over ice and I don't even notice the pulp. It lead me to believe that some people want a lack of pulp on the level of something packaged that isn't even juice, like a vitamin water or Gatorade. I was taken aback by the first glass, as it was so smooth I can't figure out what people are complaining about. If you must have a pulp free juice a cone masticating juicer like the 8006 or centrifugal juicer is probably better. personally I think the vrt outs out a rich flavor and a glass that's easy to drink. In short no one I've handed a glass to has mentioned the pulp.
2. Preparation and cleaning time, is it a hassle? Again I say, these can't e serious complaints. I'm a person in a rush like many of us are and taking the minimal time to prepare juice has been beyond easy, let's take cucumber, carrot, celery and spinach. That's one I like, basically I chop the cuke and celery in under a minute, lop off the tops of the carrots, and start stuffing spinach in the thing. There are some great tips on juicing out there, especially by John over at discountjuicers.com --- nothing has ever gotten stuck on me and while I don't feed everything I possibly can into the thing at full speed it chomps through produce very quickly. I simply listen to it chew up the previous item as I toss the next one in, it's really fast though, and I find myself lagging behind the juicer frequently. Cleanup is a snap, see my forest sentence here, there is no complaint, it takes no time at all. One caver is if you are utterly lazy, the parts on the Omega say they cannot be thrown into the dishwasher or it will be damaged. I'm not going to do that anyway with an appliance this pricey. I'll time myself in the future but right now prep and cleanup has to be under 5 minutes it's quicker than making a cup of coffee.
3. Is it worth the admission? That friend I told yo about with the breville, well we had a juice off last night and the difference in quality and yield was astounding, not to mention that we were all laughing at the lawnmower like sound the juice fountain produced. In contrast I was running the vrt on the counter next to our barstools with music playing from an iPhone and conversation going. Then I heard "what are you doing, you can't juice spinach" as I lumped a handful together. The quality of the juice, and what it can juice is simply amazing. It's so consistent in the glass it's like you bought something off the shelf or went to a juice bar, except that it's even better! I do a lot of exercise and meditation and I like to think I know my body, and like most Americans i have too much fat, refined flour, and processed food in my diet. I'm an organic consumer, go to farmers markets, but I don't kid myself, I know what my modern diet is doing to me. The first glass of carrot and spinach changed me into a complete believer, I instantly felt a prolonged sense of energy throughout the day. Already I find myself craving a glass of juice in the middle of the day. If you are struggling with the finance, maybe do what I did and tell your friends you would like an amazon card to put toward better health. This was our Christmas present to my wife and I this year, and for the price of good health it can't be beat.
4. Is juicing expensive? It looks that way, especially if you watch the videos of the vrt where John is using 3 pounds of carrots :) in truth you can build a glass or two for yourself with as little as, 3 carrots, 2 apples, one celery stalk. I was ale to find 3 pound bags of organic apples for $3 at a regular store, carrots for a $1 per pound, and the yield with the VRT is so high you don't need a ton of reduce. The first couple times I actually made far too much following juice recipes online. Besides those bacon and eggs I like so much are equally expensive if not more so.
It's only been a few days but I feel like we made the best choice going down the path of slow juicing. I'll try to check back in a fe months and report my progress. Right now I feel the choice should have been a no brainer with a lot less deliberation, but hindsight is always 20/20. It may not be the right juicer for you, but I feel like any juicer in this range is going to be a boon to your health. For me, that is the VRT 350, and I'm utterly pleased I watched all those comparisons on the web and pulled the trigger.
Best of luck to you and your juice!

You can feel the quality of the product just by lifting it out of the box, it has that weight and solidity that just makes you feel warm inside. It combines a quality of a masticating juicers with the convenience of a vertical. It is also much easier to clean and assemble than other masticating juicers i have had in the past.
A nice surprise is how quiet the machine is in operation.
Negatives: I find some "bits" seem to find there way into the juice, not sure how. However Not a significant amount and it does not detract for me personally from the juice. The majority of the juice itself is nice and clear and fine however. However this may be an issue for some.
The waste fruit is pushed down a silicon flap into the waste. The issue is cleaning can be a little fiddly as you need to poke the cleaning tool into a small hole and lever the silicon flap while trying to scrap away any left over fruit. Again a minor issue for me, cleanup takes only a few minutes worse case, however this could be better designed.
Bottom line nothings perfect, however this is the best juicer i have bought, and i would buy it again in an instant.
