Omega MM1500 Juicer and Nutrition System

I am a daily juicer user for the past 10 years. I am addicted to have my fresh juice each morning! I have been using Breville centrifugal juicer for years. Changed one or two time / 10 years not because something wrong with my centrifugal juicers but because after a while the juicing parts get oxidated. I am a big fan of Anthony William and this year I said, ok, let me try his recommendation of Omega masticator juicer. I spent over 450 $ on this juicer and I am not happy with it. In order to be fair, I will list the advantages and disadvantages compared with Breville 850 and let you all decide if this is a machine you need to invest or not: Advantages: 1. I feel the quality of the juice is better. Via masticating technology, the transfer of heat generated during centrifugal motion (Breville) is eliminated. The juice feels fresher! 2. The residue pulp is much dryer than using centrifugal juicer, therefore more juice is produced but not a whole lot, maybe half of oz to 1 oz. 3. I love the strainer to separate even more pulp. I would recommend Omega to make a small rectangular block to be used if desired to squeeze more juice out of the pulp that is trapped in the strainer. I use a spoon. 4. Cleaning seems faster with Omega, easier to clean the parts than Breville 5. More options for making seeds milk, juice herbs (main reason I got it), etc Disadvantages 1. Very fragile. Mine broke twice!!! The locking mechanism is made out of plastic (very bad idea). That mechanism is supporting a lot of torque (pressure) and should be made out of metal, compatible with food like stainless steel or something along those lines. Luckly, Omega has great customer service, and they did send me twice new parts! I give them 5 stars for customer service! 2. Takes FOR EVER to juice compared with the centrifugal juicer. I can put the entire celery bunch in my centrifugal juicer and in one second, I got juice made. It will take over 15 minutes to juice a bunch of celery juice. Now I am terrified to not break it again, so I have to cut each big celery stick in half on the length wise (very hard) to not put so much pressure on the locking mechanism. Second time I broke the locking mechanism was over one carrot. So, you have to spend a lot of time to pre-prep everything, cut thinner veggies strips to run ONE BY ONE via the masticator. I am super busy in the morning, that is a definite challenge for me! 3. Expansive! I could have bought 4 Breville juicers over one Omega.
