juicers i've had have been champion, hippocrates (dual gear), and omega vert. the vert is my favorite, it's fast and the juice quality seems as good as the hippocrates was. i liked the hippocrates, but it was so slow, it could take an hour to make a quart of juice. the champion was fast and great with fruit, no good for greens though. my one concern with the omega is it doesn't seem as sturdy as the other juicers, and will it hold up over time...we'll see. but it is my favorite so far...
