How to get your Vertical Single Auger Juicer Unstuck if it gets Stuck

[scorpiomoonbeam]

John! Thank you so much for making this video! I've been using my new 350 for a week and each time it gets backed up. I had even called Omega and asked for their advice and didn't get much of an answer. I'll be using your suggestions from now on. One of the things you didn't mention specifically was the juicer getting backed up while juicing wheatgrass. My guess is your suggestion to cut things into smaller pieces applies to wheatgrass as well. Again, thank you so, so much!

Thanks for all the Great info and videos. I've had my Omega Vert 350 HD juicer for almost month now and love. I picked the Omega 350 because of your fantastic videos and reviews. Thanks again keep up the good work.

Great video! I find the adding small amounts of purified water every so often helps to clear the machine. John do you still juice whole cherries in the machine? Or is that no longer recommended?

[rawfoods]

Yes, I still juice cherries usually once a year. Its probably fine if you have the HD screen.

I mean rotating the greens you consume, not rotating them as you put them in the juicer. Thank you.

[rawfoods]

I agree with rotating your greens. I grow many variety of greens in my garden and on a daily basis use different greens. Each type of green contains different nutrients, antioxidants and "anti-nutrients" such as oxalates in spinach.

We have a friend who gets them for free here in southern California organically, so we though why not try and juice them. The taste is not so bad. Just have to alternate hard and soft vegetables plus fruit to avoid backing up. Plus layers of flavor!!

Keep up the great work John. Love your green power enthusiasm. Some days when I have a bad day and I watch one of your video's, it lifts me up and I start to get excited about growing my greens too, plus juicing.

Thanks again

Jeff

As always good job John on all the information you share.

I ordered the Omega VERT 350HD a few weeks ago, and it works like a charm. My wife and I have stopped drinking coffee and started juicing each morning instead. You bring up a good point about stringy greens. We were experimenting with different ones and ran into a problem with juicing fennel, but we were not cutting them into small pieces.

Very useful tip! I have never had a problem juicing kale, but I tried juicing carrot greens once - nightmare, I thought I was never going to get the top off. I'll definitely try your way if it ever happens again.

John you are great. Thanks for this meticulous description. However, I returned a Hurom bought it to reduce the work of my Green Star cleaning on early morning workdays. With all the backup and extreme amount of fiber in the Hurom slow juiced vegies, it didn't accomplish anything, plus juice had to be strained to come out as the elixir I get from the Green Star. So not saving time, a few bucks less over time is useless. What do you see as the value of this over the wonderful green star?

[rawfoods]

There are PROS & CONS to every juicer. Just like each person may like a certain size/style of shoe-- if the shoe fits.. wear it.. Same thing with juicers. Each person has their specific needs and each juicer has its strong points and weak points. The strong points of the vertical single augers is that it is quicker to juice and clean than the green star.. but makes a pulpier juice. Some people dont mind pulp. Those are just some of the pros and cons. Check my other videos for more info.

@ooohlaa13 I had a Green Star and sold it on Craigs list a month after I bought it. I was surprised at how much pulp came out. Also, it is HUGE and takes alot of work to get veggies through. Also tedious and not easy to clean.

i am the gatekeeper, are you the keymaster?

[grassman422]

I have never had issues with the fiber eject getting stopped up.But I have had trouble getting the top to let loose of the base after juicing.I do not believe this juicer should be labeled Heavy Duty.More like some what adequate with a touch of frustration.I also broke the anchor tab off of the HD screen.But I still like the juicer it is much cooler than my greenstar.

John, you pick your veggies from your garden and put them straight in the juicer with out rinsing them off first. Is it only store bought produce that needs to be washed before use or just non organic? I'm thinking, dust, bugs, pollutants in the air, etc...

Love your videos!!!:)

[rawfoods]

When I purchase organic produce (I rarely- if ever-- buy conventional produce), I usually wash it before using it. Why? There may be contamination from people, sprays, transportation, etc. If I pick it from my garden, sometimes I wash it, sometimes not, depends if there is bugs on it. (I grow organically). If you grow it yourself, you know exactly what is on your food. Some people say bugs are a good source of b12.

good info, John, thanks!

[Helenelalala]

Thanks John! I'm gone look for people with garden in my areas!! I wonder if there is a site where people with organic garden can put their contacts data to share their produce. Also thanks for the data on the juicers, you already showed in earlier vid. to cut celeri but it helps to give more info here.
