Omega NC800HDS Juicer & Nutrition Center Review (2023)

One thing that is unique for this juice maker machine is it has an end cap with five settings for pressure, improving the efficiency of the juice extraction for each type of produce.

The NC800HDS quietly operates the motor at the equivalent of a two horsepower motor with 150 watts and 120 volts of power. The GE Ultem stone, mill-like auger is eight times stronger than the majority of other augers.

It tears and crushes leafy greens, carrots, and nuts at a slow rate of 80 RPM reducing oxidation, resulting in the preservation of vitamins and enzymes.

The included collection cups are bigger than with previous models. Plus, this juice extractor comes with a larger, heavy-duty stainless steel juicing screen. It is equipped with a built-in handle, making it easier to move around the kitchen.

However, it is an enormous machine and you may want to find a place to place it permanently. Highly versatile, not only does it extract juice, but it can also make homemade baby food, sorbets, spices, and nut butter.

This juicer comes with a 15-year warranty. Should you have any problems, contact Omega customer support for assistance.

Omega NC800HDS Features

Is the NC800 Juicer easy to use?

The Omega NC800HDS is just as easy to set up as the previous generations of the Omega juicers. The feed chute is 2 inches by 1.5 inches, thus making it easier to fit larger pieces of produce down the tube.

You still have to cut items like apples into smaller slices. Once you begin to juice, do not shove as much as you can down the chute because it might overload the machine.

Slowly, push items into the juicer at a steady pace for optimal results.

If you are going to juice softer fruit, you will obtain the best extraction results by alternating with a hard piece of produce.

Since this machine has settings to adjust the tension to extract a higher level of juice, you do need to learn how to use the settings—which is easier than you think. Use the settings on the end cap to adjust for a higher yield of juice.

Set it on 1 for softer produce and up to 5 for harder produce.

Is the Omega NC800 easy to clean?

The best way to care for your slow juicer is to wash it by hand in warm, soapy water immediately after you have finished juicing. It is one of the easiest juicers to clean.

The provided nylon cleaning brush effectively removes pulp from the metal juicing screen. If you prefer to wash it in the dishwasher, then you will be pleased to know that everything is top rack dishwasher safe.

However, pre-clean the juicing screen with the nylon cleaning brush. You never want to leave any pulp on any of the juicer parts—especially the screen.

When the pulp hardens, it builds up and becomes difficult to remove. If you ever forget to rinse and scrub it out, place the juicing screen into warm, soapy water for several minutes to soften up the pulp before attempting to clean it.

Juice Quality

Utilizing the exclusive “dual stage” mastication extraction process, the Omega Juicer NC800 successfully extricates juice by crushing the produce and then pushing the pulp against the juicing screen.

This further separates the juice from the pulp, delivering healthy juice that is rich in the necessary nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins that our bodies need. A masticating juice extractor, like this one, will always produce a higher yield and better quality than any centrifugal juicer.

Health-conscious individuals will be pleased with the variety and the enormous amounts of nutrition being delivered straight into their body. You should drink the juice as soon as you juice it to reap the full nutritional benefits.

Of course, you can always juice in batches to be saved for later consumption. If you are going to do this, store your juice in a glass container that can be tightly sealed with a lid for the best results.

You can store your juice for up to 72 hours when using a masticating juicer to extract your juice.

Non-juicing functions

Not only it can help you prepare healthy juices, it also serves additional functions to provide variety in your juicing routine—food processor, homogenizer, pasta maker, coffee grinder.

It can be used as a food processor to chop your meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables into fine pieces for any meal you’re planning. This mincing/grinding ability also allows you to prepare ingredients for marinades, salsas, soups, and sauces.

Additionally, it can also process soaked rice and beans producing a puree-like consistency.

If you feel like eating healthy frozen desserts, feel free to freeze your juice into ice cubes then let the machine turn it into a cold healthy treat by adding milk, yogurt and other ingredients to your heart’s content. This homogenizer function can also be used to make nut butter and baby food.

The complementary nozzles can be used to make pasta of varying shapes and sizes, you can choose between a round or a flat noodle; better yet you can add some flavor to your pasta to make a Korean style u-dong noodles.

Nozzles with a larger opening can be used to form breadsticks. The bad news is you still have to prepare your dough.

You can even grind your own coffee beans for a fresh cup of java with this machine. Some coffee beans (especially gourmet coffees) have higher oil content, this have to be dried overnight for easier processing.
