Thanks so much for responding to my question. First, I'd like to say I've been very happy with my Omega 1000 juicer. It's built like a tank, which I guess is a credit to your competitor as well.
I asked the folks at Titan Gold about their warranty and they told me that they actually offer the same 15 year warranty as Omega. I guess what it all really comes down to is brand name. I'm not one to obsess over names and I really like the idea of buying direct from the manufacturer. My decision to go with the Titan Gold 104 was mainly based on the fact that they make what they sell. As you've pointed out, they obviously have a proven track record in manufacturing for Omega all these years. Thanks again for your response, I really appreciate the information.
