The Omega 8228 is the latest member of the 8000 series family and it has been released as a direct upgrade to the highly popular 8006. As expected, it maintains all the perks of its predecessor and improves on it where possible. As a result the 8228 now benefits from a pressure adjusting nozzle and an inbuilt scoop handle while still providing the same excellent performance, build quality and versatility we’ve grown used to. For those novice users, this is a slow cold pressed masticating juicer that has been designed to slowly process the produce and extract maximum yield. The slow rotation of the parts prevents heat created within the juice, thereby avoiding oxidation which further preserves the freshness of the juice.
