New 2010 - Samson 6 in 1 Juicer (Advanced) - GB9004 White - 15 Year Warranty Review

New 2010 - Samson 6 in 1 Juicer (Advanced) - GB9004 White - 15 Year Warranty
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This juicer is fantastic. I only have those huge juicebar types vs. the little shredder 99$ ones to compare it too, and it blows them both away. A juicebar type omega would be nice if I ... owned a juice bar. But I'm just juicing for two at the most and this little 8 hp baby does the trick. The automatic shut off is a great feature for someone who likes to burn appliances up trying to 'do frozen' because I'm impatient, but I've only managed to kill this one once, with too much frozen corn- I was making Thai fish cakes.
It does not shred to juice, it twists to squeeze out the precious fluid and the hopper lets you control how much 'pulp' aka fiber you want in your juice. I love the engine purr and the squeak of kale as it's pushed through, I just wish I had a black or red one! haha This is a good price for a well warranted product, a great design, easy to clean up (though I don't know about a minute flat or whatever), I usually just rinse the pieces as I take it apart before I even drink my juice.
I primarily use it for juicing vegetables, and while it's tough I still cut my carrots into the size I would give a kid for veggie sticks, broccoli, beets too, the harder veggies need to be sliced up a bit, but i stuff celery whole down the chute, chunks of cabbage, ginger, kale... I will be making nut butter with it, and sausage if I can cope with the skin *shudder*
I love to use the pulp in veggie burgers, extra fiber in meatloaf, carrot cake, makes awesome compost and you can even throw some nuts on top of the dry pulp (run it through twice, sure!), dates, olive oil and have a salad later. Mix it into homemade dog food! No reason just to throw it away...
I can't wait to use my Samson juicer tomorrow morning, just talking about it.
TEN STARS
Pasta, pate, sorbets, spice grinding, and I hear they have a new nozzle for making oil!! I'm getting one...
The only thing that comes close to a hassle is the juicing screen (which does not spin, it's a little stationary cone inside the plastic nozzle that you can trade out for a solid cone for pate, etc). I figured out quickly though that using the little brush (toothbrushs work well when the bristles finally wore down) on the INSIDE of the screen first, then going around the outside of the screen in circular motions is most effective, under a little running water. Everything else if you don't clean it right away (which would be silly) or are running meat through it, can be put in the dishwasher!
I have an older model that looks exactly the same, 10 yr instead of 15 warranty, and they say they've improved some of the pieces.. I can't imagine it being more perfect though!

Omega Vert Hd Vrt350 Juicer Review

Omega Vert Hd Vrt350 Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok, I hardly ever write reviews, but this juicer deserves the accolades I'm about to bestow upon it. I'm a heavy juicer, and go in fits and starts with heavy juicing and then no juicing. About a year or two ago I purchased the Omega 8003 juicer and have been happy with it. The main drawbacks to that juicer are its small diameter feed slot and the fact that you really have to "push" stuff along with the pusher. For the last couple of weeks I've been heavily juicing with that machine. My review is really from the perspective of what I'm coming from.
First, I did a lot of research on juicers (again). Although I looked at the Jack La Lane juicer which is a high speed juicer (and much cheaper), I found myself coming back to the slow speed for the same reasons that drove me to my original Omega 8003, namely, keeping the enzymes in tack, better taste (less watery) and a better yield (especially with organic fruit being so costly). It was taking me about 25 minutes to juice with the Omega 8003 including cleanup, which is a bit lengthy for a glass of juice. Now, in defense of the 8003, it does a really good job of juicing, pulp is dry and it makes a good juice. However, I tend to make really large glasses of juice (usually at least 24 oz) and it requires everything to be cut up into small enough pieces to fit in the small feeder. Apples take forever, and even feeding things like grapes you still have to push a few in, then mush it down, few more, mush it down etc etc. Process takes a while.
So my new VRT HD arrived today. Forget what HD stands for, but apparently the only difference is the strength of the inner filter/strainer, which I saw some reviews of cracking. I plan to work this thing like a mule, so I wanted the best.
Setup was super easy, all the parts were easy to figure out, never needed to read an instruction and I was off an juicing in minutes. I've done 4 juices today, so far using all fruits (apples, pineapple, carrots, grapes, pomegranate and kiwi). All I can say is WOW!!!
What I love so far: First and foremost, because its a vertical cylinder that masticates, I just drop in the fruit, say a carrot, and it grinds it right up. I can't cut off the tops fast enough. It just eats em right up. With the 8003, I have to jam and shove those things down into the screw. That alone is worth the price of admission. Just drop em in and watch em go. LOVE IT!! (can you tell I'm excited).
Everything else got chewed up just as well. I've used a lot of fleshy fruit today, and did have one issue on my second juice. My pineapple and grapes got clogged on the little outlet where the fiber ejects. I think that was my fault however because I think I got over zealous and excited. I slowed down my feed a bit on the subsequent juicing's and had zero issues.
Another feature I REALLY like is the self cleaning feature. A plastic thingy swirls around the outside of the screen/filter while your juicing and cleans the screen. In my 8003, grapes and other fleshy fruit really tend to clog the screen up, but I have had no issues all day. That screen comes out almost as clean as it went in.
I do get foam floating on top of my drink. I'd actually say a bit less than my 8003, which surprised me because in a web demo head to head with another 800? unit I watched on youtube it looked like the VRT produced a bit MORE foam, but this is not my experience. It's not a lot of foam, but I hate foam. Nothing that a quick skim with a spoon doesn't rectify. Pure tasty juice underneath.
Lastly, I was told in same said video that cleanup would take twice as long. I found that to be true for the first cleanup (not knowing what I was doing) but so far, my cleanup has maybe taken an additional minute. I find it quite simple actually, and once you figure out the pieces (not difficult), it actually seems little harder than my 8003.
All in all I absolutely LOVE this juicer. I can juice 24 or more ounces of juice, from opening the fridge door to putting the pieces back into the cabinet in under 10 minutes. The top feeder is so much wider which allows for much bigger pieces, which means a lot less cutting and preparation. Once it goes in, it self feeds, which means your not standing there mushing stuff down. Juice tastes great, fiber comes out reasonably dry, and clean up is simple enough.
It's only been a day, but what a great day its been.

Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome Review

Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have rated the 8006 at five stars because of its efficiency, ease of use and quality of materials. The newly designed auger is a translucent black material that GE calls ULTEM. The warranty has been increase from 10 years to 15 years. The juicer probably functions the same as the model 8005 and 8002 so all of the previous reviews apply to the 8006. The power switch is located at the lower back of the juicer and allows the auger to be reversed if something would become lodged in the mastication extraction tube. The Omega auger is patented and has a two stage screen for greater juice output compared to other brands. For example, five medium sized HoneyCrisp apples produced a full quart of wonderful clear pulp-free juice. The apple juice does not turn brown nearly as fast as the juice from centrifugal type juicers due to the lower oxidation from the 80 rpm auger. There is very little foam, and the included screen can be used to filter the final product, if desired. The Omega 8006 does a great job with carrots but with this juicer as with any juicer, the smaller the items, the greater the juice extraction efficiency. I need to point out that the feed tube is only about 1.5" in diameter. There lies the problem with large tube centrifugal juicers. They waste about 20% of the juice and this is significant when you count the price of organic produce. I use a little cutting board to slice items while the juicer pulls them in almost by itself. It works very well. I juice greens including wheat grass and parsley, which can adhere to the spinning basket of a centrifugal juicer and cause the basket to be out of balance. This happened to me with a JuiceLady JL-500 and it cracked the top of the juicer before I could turn it off. If you do not want to cut the produce into smaller pieces then this is not the juicer for you. I enjoy using the 8006 and I have yet to see a bad review of an Omega single auger juicer. Of all the juicers made, this is definitely in the top ten and some websites rate it as No. 1. I can recommend this Omega juicer with no reservations. Enjoy!

Equipped with a powerful commercial motor, this masticating juice extractor thoroughly chews up plant fibers to fully extract vitamins, enzymes, and minerals from fruits and vegetables. The unit's dual-stage juicing system ensures maximum efficiency, while its low rotation speed of 80 RPMs means no foaming, no clogging, and no heat build-up. Other highlights include a high juice yield with very dry pulp, an automatic pulp-ejection function for continuous juicing, heavy-duty construction, four stabilizing feet, and quiet operation. Easy to assemble, operate, and clean, the UL- and cUL-approved masticating juice extractor measures 14-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a 10-year warranty.

Kale Siberian Heirloom Seeds 175 Seeds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This kale has been great, although a little more bitter tasting than I anticipated. It is not for the faint hearted! Garden snails love it, but I just soak the leaves in a tub of water with a tsp. bleach and it kills them and their eggs. All the seeds were viable. I planted them in a more moist area of the garden, and also a sandy/dry area, and both places it did excellent. Greensmoothiegirl.com has some great recipes for using kale in smoothies, and the energy kale gives you is UNBELIEVABLE. Kale is a garden essential, it packs the most nutrition ever. And, now that we've had our first frost it is taking on more flavor. And it looks kind pretty.

The sales blurb for this type of pumpkin doesn't do it justice. This is an old variety from Australia, the pumpkins are good to store over winter, the skin is a blue grey with deep orange flesh. Excellent to eat as a vegetable (steam, roast, turn into soup, add to stirfry, curries). Plant in ground after last frost and cultivate as other pumpkins, ie plenty of room and feeding. If you only use these for carving you are missing out on a great tasting vegetable and wasting it! Have no idea about this company's seeds, but the pumpkin itself is a good eating pumpkin.

the juicer certainly looks good, all shiny stainless steel. it works pretty well too. even has a spout built into the juice collector, so you don't have to remove the strainer to pour out the juice.
my only gripe is the attachment of the three juicing cones. it's great that there's a selection of sizes, but the cone just sits on top of the strainer. there are 4 locating posts on each cone, and the posts just sit in a slot on the strainer. there is no attachment feature at all. this means, for example, if you're pushing down on your orange or whatever, and it forms suction on the cone, when you pick up of the orange peel, the cone comes off the juicer. kind of annoying.

Rosle Zester Review

We bought one Rosle zester and one WMF julienne slicer for comparison because we would like to know whether we should invest in Rosle or WMF collection for our home. So this initial purchase was a test.
Rosle zester we got is made in Germany and has a better quality and fine finish. The steel is slightly heavier. It is sharp and creates beautiful zest perfect for garnish.
The made-in-China WMF julienne slicer works well, however, the finish and steel quality is inferior to that of Rosle, making it look cheap. With a price tag of 17 USD, we expected the WMF slicer to be German-made and to be of at least the same quality as that of Rosle.
From this experience, we decide that we better invest in Rosle tools than WMF.

Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHC Snackmaster Express Food Dehydrator All-In-One Kit with Jerky Gun Review

Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHC Snackmaster Express Food Dehydrator All-In-One Kit with Jerky Gun
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was in the market for a dehydrator mainly for making beef jerky, as I am a jerky lover. I visited frequent local chains such as Walmart (in 4 different cities). All stores seemed to be out of the base Nesco FD-61 model. I reluctantly ordered this kit from [...] as it contained all the 'extras.'
When it arrived I opened the box to see:
o) Nesco American Harvest FD-61 Food Dehydrator. One base, 4 large trays, and a power head rated at 500 watts, variable climate control (~95-155 temp range for various things). Most of the accessories that came with the kit were located inside the trays. Made in the USA! The dehydrator is rated as whisper quiet and is rather quiet. The emitting hum is close to quiet window-mounted AC unit. The unit is very stable and the construction is excellent. This unit really does get warm.
o) One extra tray (totalling 5 trays). Keep in mind that although this unit is expandable to 12 trays, you may have to begin rotating lower trays to the top during the drying process. With the included 5 trays it doesn't seem necessary, though I do trade the top tray with the bottom tray after the first hour during jerky drying.
o) A Jerky Kit. The Kit included a jerky gun, 3 tips, and 5 cures and 5 seasonings. The Jerky gun holds almost 3/4lb ground beef jerky mix. The tips included extrude a strip shape, narrow beef stick shape, and wide beef stick shape. The seasonings and cures are for ground beef as well. For each one pound of ground beef, you mix in one packet of cure and one packet of seasoning. The gun is great and works well. My only complaint is that that when the plunger is at the end (expelled all beef mix), there is some jerky left in the tip. This is especially true to the narrow and wide beef stick tips as they hold almost a full piece left.
o) Two Clean-a-Screens. These are screens with narrower holes for placement on a tray to prevent smaller food from falling as well as preventing sticky food (bananas, pineapple) from being hard to release once it's done drying. I have not used these yet though I have seen them used and they work well.
o) Two fruit "roll-up" trays. These are trays that cover the existing trays to prevent anything from falling below. The material is on the softer side so food release will be easy once drying is complete. I haven't used them for fruit rolls yet, though I hear they work great for that. I do, however, use them on the bottom tray to catch grease and other 'junk' when I dehydrate my beef.
o) Recipe/Guide. This book has the usual instructions and care handling. It also includes many recipes and instructions, tips and suggestions for preparing fruits, vegetables, meats (i.e. jerky), herbs, desserts, hobbies/crafts, and more. There are many cool recipes in here along with neat crafts such as wreaths that I plan to use.
Overall, this is an excellent kit and well worth the money. All items separate cost quite a bit. Don't forget, it's also made in the USA!

I gave the rotato two stars because it generally does a good job peeling a potato but is on the dangerous side. Yes it saves time, but if you need to take one of the blades off to be replaced because it's clogged up you could easily hurt yourself. I got cut three times. In addition I put a potato on the rotato today and the blade popped out while I was doing this and ripped part of my fingernail off. The blades don't stay sharp for very long either. If anybody buys this make sure your kids stay away from it or only use it with close parental supervision.

Omega Juicer Model O2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did SO much research on the Internet before finding that there are 2 small juicers available, and that both get good reviews. One is this one and the other is the L'equip mini. This model is newer so it didn't have as many reviews, so I couldn't decide. I called up one of the Internet sites and asked which they suggested. They said that Omega has a great reputation and stands by their products better than the other company. If you read the reviews of the L'equip 221 you'll see that that company is horrible if you have a problem with your juicer.
I just got the juicer today. You can get free shipping, so shop around.
Pros:
QUIET (much quieter than my blender), EFFICIENT, EASY TO CLEAN, EXTREMELY WELL BUILT
Juicer is GREAT!! It comes assembled and you can rinse out the parts and try it out in like 5 minutes.
From my research I knew that dry pulp shows it's an efficient machine, and that frothy juice is a negative - from supposed oxidation. I'd call it oxygenization, since air gets into the juice from being centrifuged.
Anyway, my own pulp test was fine. My first juice batch had moist pulp but when I pushed the veggies into the chamber more lightly the pulp was surprisingly dry.
Put a plastic bag, like the kind you put your veggies in, into the pulp catcher as a liner and you'll reduce your mess by a lot. The thing disassembles quickly and easily. I use a veggie brush to clean the screen and the whole thing cleans up in like 5 minutes. The messiest thing for me was the inside of the plastic top.
There was a little froth on the top of the juice, but nothing more than you get at a juice stand, and I'm not sure I believe this is a problem anyway.
The parts are very solid. The mesh filter basket is well built and the blade is very thick and solid, especially compared to food processor blades. The bowl is also stainless.
Highly recommend. Solid build, dry pulp when you get the right technique, and Omega stands by its products.
MAY BE CON:
Not sure about the froth issue. It didn't seem very frothy to me, but if you're used to the classic Champion juicers it may be more than you've had before. I'm just an inexperienced juicer and can't really tell whether this thing makes a lot or a little. Doesn't seem like a lot to me but I have nothing to compare it to.

If I were planning to keep something in this where rust was not a concern this might not be such a big deal, but I figure if it's rusty when I get it, it's only going to get rustier - and I was planning to put fresh fruits and vegetables in it. Plus, at $50, I shouldn't be getting any rust at all.
Rather than assembling it, I got a return label and shipped it back for a refund. Quite disappointed.

Progressive International Chrome Wire Fruit Bowl Review

Progressive International Chrome Wire Fruit Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
- integrated banana hanger with fruit bowl
- large fruit bowl
- sturdy metal rod construction
- washable (unlike some woven baskets)
- attractive design
Cons:
- significant footprint on counter
- metal rods don't support soft fruits well - can bruise/indent ripe fruitsI previous had a woven basket for fruit and a separate banana hanger. The genius of this design is to integrate the two. It is quite sturdy; I can hang two bunches of bananas and has an attractive design. It is larger than I had anticipated so it can hold a lot of fruit. The biggest downside it that the metal rods are narrow so they can bruise and indent fruit, especially soft fruits or if you stack the basket full.

Finally, a fruit bowl designed with bananas and grapes in mind. The Progressive International fruit bowl has a unique hook for hanging and preventing bruises on bananas and grapes. The practically designed bowl has modern appeal and blends with any decor. Constructed from chrome wire, the bowl has ball-shaped feet to protect tables and countertops. Amply sized, the bowl has an 11-inch diameter and will easily hold apples, oranges, pears, plums, or even small melons. It makes a great gift idea for newlyweds or new homeowners.

HIC Harold Imports Veggie Scrub Review

HIC Harold Imports Veggie Scrub
Average Reviews:

Works great. You can use it as a mit to scrub fruit and veggies or you can put small items inside to run through the faucet and gently scrub stuff like grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. It is a great way to remove pesticides and keep the skin on your fruits and veggies before eating. It is pretty course so you can use it to scrub all the fuzz off your peaches and that layer of wax off your cucumbers. I love it and got 4 more because everyone wants one.

Just three steps to cleaner, healthier vegetables: (1) drop produce in veggie scrub, (2) rub under flowing water then (3) shake to dry. It\'s that easy. Reduce unwanted dirt, wax, pesticides, bacteria and contaminates in three easy steps. For larger produce turn inside out to use as a mitt. The veggie scrub is amazing.
