Kuvings B6000S

Anita Rozentāle
Top Pro

Does not make a lot of noise

•••
By running at less than 40-50 decibels, this juicer creates a lot less noise than centrifugal or electric juicers. The noise level can be compared to a library or a quiet suburb.
Anita Rozentāle
Top Pro

Can facilitate whole fruits and vegetables

•••
The Kuvings B6000S has a 3 x 3 inch chute that can accommodate most whole fruits and vegetables. It reduces preparation and nutritional loss, comparing to juicers with narrow chute which require cutting up the ingredients prior to juicing.

Top Pro

Can be used as a sorbet maker

•••
One of the attachments that comes with the juicer is a blank strainer which allows to make sorbet at home. It adds versatility to what can be achieved with a juicer and allows for the fruit to be utilized in more than one way.

Top Pro

Plastic parts free from harmful chemicals

•••
B6000S juicer is manufactured with plastic which is BPA-free. It means there are no harmful chemicals that could seep into the juice from the plastic container.

Top Pro

Lighter and smaller than other juicers

•••
At 14.1 pounds it is lighter than other, similar juicers in the market. It is a good choice for those who prefer a slightly more compact juicer for easy transportation.
Anita Rozentāle
Top Pro

The juicer will last for a long time

•••
Due to the low power motor and the fact it doesn't heat up, it will last longer than standard centrifugal juicers.
Anita Rozentāle
Top Pro

Minimal oxidation for preserved taste and nutrients

•••
The juicer has a motor that operates at 60 RPM - it creates less foaming, no clogging, or heat build-up, and prevents oxidation. As a result there is almost no oxidation, when compared to centrifugal juicers, which allows for producing juice without losing the natural taste, nutrients, and fiber.

Cleaning made easy

•••
One of the attachments that comes with the juicer is the cleaning tool - it is specially made for strainer and additional brushes make the clean up quick and easy.

Top Con

The end product might be pulpy

•••
When juicing large quantities of fruit and vegetables, some of the pulp might get into juice. It needs to be strained unless you do not mind juice with some pulp.
Anita Rozentāle
Top Con

It does not come with dual-voltage

•••
The juicer does not come with Worldwide voltage, therefore, if at any point you need to take it abroad - it will require voltage converter.

Adjustable for different ingredients

•••
The Omega NC800 has an endcap with 5 settings, that lets you adjust how much juice do you want to extract from the product. For the hard vegetables and leafy greens, the adjustment should be set to 4-5, for soft fruits - 1-2, this way you can get the maximum amount of juice without clogging up the...

Great yield of juice from leafy greens

•••
The Omega NC800 is great at extracting juice from leafy greens such as spinach, wheatgrass, and kale. While going through the horizontal auger, ingredients are being crushed twice - in the initial crush the juice is extracted through the first mesh screen located at the bottom. The pulp is then pas...

Minimal oxidation for preserved taste and nutrients

•••
The Omega juicer has a motor that operates at 80 RPM - it squeezes ingredients with minimal oxidation, preserving natural taste & nutrients, which would be lost by high-speed centrifugal juicers that grind, crush, and heat the ingredients due to a fast-rotating blade. The extracted juice can st...

Has other uses besides the juicing

•••
The Omega NC800 can be used for other things too, like making nut butter, grinding coffee beans, making sorbets, and extruding pasta (not making pasta dough!). It can even chop and mince, doubling as a food processor. The tools for this are included with the juicer.

BPA-free

•••
The Omega NC800, unlike its predecessors' in the Omega Nutrition Center line, is BPA-free. This means there is no possibility that any chemicals from plastic containers can seep into the juice.

Top Con

Juice can be pulpy

•••
This juicer doesn't have any kind of sieve or strainer for the extracted juice, which means your juice can have some fine pulp in it, especially from soft apples or tomatoes.

Top Con

Takes up quite a lot of space

•••
Horizontal juicer requires more space on the counter than a vertical one - the footprint of the NC800 is large at 6.5 x 15.5 x 14.5 inches. It has a built-in handle if you want to move it, but it's not convenient to put it away every time because of its weight of more than 17 lbs.

Produces noise

•••

Anita Rozentāle
Top Con

Juicer can clog up

•••
When juicing large amounts of ingredients, the screw can get clogged up. In this case press reverse rotation for a few seconds to unclog.
Anita Rozentāle
Top Con

It cannot process ingredients that are too hard or too soft

•••
Unfortunately, ingredients that are too hard run the risk of breaking the juicer. The same goes with soft ingredients - the juicer cannot process fruits and vegetables that are too soft, as they are difficult to be squeezed. They are more suitable for smoothies.
