Re: Vitamix v. Juicer

Do you mean a:

Omega VRT350S Heavy Duty Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer?

Good grief. What a long name. I understand heavy duty, low speed and vertical parts, but what's with dual stage and single auger?

My actual question is which is better health wise...a vita mix or a juicer. I agree with you that it would be better to have both... but I have both limited funds, and even more important, limited space. That's why I gave away my Champion when I got the Vita Mix. I though drinking the pulp was healthier...and I didn't think I had room for the Champion. Now, I regret not keeping it.

I am assuming that a juicer would be better for fasting. My theory is you are not really fasting if you consume the pulp, but I may be wrong about that. I don't think I am wrong in thinking no pulp would equal more weight loss...

I got a nut bag for fasting with my vita mix, but I am thinking that there would be a lot of waste trying to separate the juice from the pulp by hand. The pulp was really dry when it came out of my Champion. But it was hard to keep it from falling into the juice bowl....

The Omega above...is not a masticating juicer like the Champion is, right? I am not sure which type of juicer is better. I like that Omega becuase it's small (vertical) and it sounds like it's strong. The picture shows it doing carrots and the write up says it does wheat grass really well, so I assume it does both greens and hard vegies. I would be doing mostly greens, but I would want to to carrots and beets too.

Do you think that would be the best compliment to my Vita Mix? Or should I get another Champion. I got a lot of foam with my Champion. I didn't like that, but maybe it's unavoidable.

Ease of cleaning is important too.
