This is John Kohler with DiscountJuicers.com.
I have a very special treat for you today!
Just got in the brand new Hurom third generation juicer.
So, this is it right here, the Hurom third generation juicer.
Pretty much looks like the other Hurom juicers, same nice handle on the back, but the main
improvements and the main difference with the third generation is basically just the
screen.
So, the screen that now comes with the Hurom HU-100 Juicer third generation is the Ultem
screen.
So, this Ultem screen is basically crack and break resistant, and this is the screen that
has been coming with the Omega VRT 350 for all this time.
The other thing that’s new with the Hurom HU-100 third generation model is they’re
deleting the coarse screen, so now you only get one choice: the fine- or small-hole screen
with the Hurom HU-100.
Now, Omega still includes the coarse screen, and the coarse screen, basically, what that
means – it has larger holes.
So, if you’re juicing things like fruits or you want more pulp in your juice, then
Omega give you the flexibility to do just that with the coarse screen.
Hurom just thought it’d be easier to exclude that and include the Ultem screen, now, as
your only option.
The other thing that’s new with the Hurom HU-100 third generation is a DVD.
So, you get an instructional DVD that you could watch that will further educate you
on how to use the Hurom juicer.
I think educational DVDs are great to include with juicers, although if you watch my YouTube
videos, you’ll probably get a education in itself and learn all the ins-and-outs about
juicing and the juicers.
Other thing that’s really cool is they have a little recipe – I don’t really know
if you’d call this a booklet – but a recipe card, recipes on the front and back, nice
pictures.
Some of them are very simple such as orange juice.
Now, do we really need a recipe for making orange juice, but, nonetheless, they have
a nice little recipe booklet.
The other things that is new, of course, that is basically going on since the second generation
with the Hurom is the warranty.
So, Hurom has outsourced the warranty to a third party company called Roland Products
out of Los Angeles, California, and let me go over the warranty once again on the Hurom
juicer ‘cause it can be confusing.
So, all the parts that are in my hand right here have only a short one-year warranty on
it.
So, once again, all these parts have a one-year warranty.
On the main body of the juicer, and the motor specifically, the motor here, has a ten-year
warranty on the motor base.
So, with the inclusion of the Ultem screen in the Hurom HU-100 third generation juicer,
a one-year warranty isn’t that bad, but nonetheless, it’s still only a one-year
warranty.
Let’s talk about warranties on all these juicers.
So, as I just mentioned, the warranty on the Hurom HU-100 is ten years on the motor base
and one year on all the accessory parts.
Now, to the sides of me, we have the Omega VRT 330 Juicer.
Now, with the Omega VRT 330 Juicer, you get a full ten-year warranty on the motor base
and all its parts.
And, guess what, the motor base is the part least likely to break on you.
The problem is, you may have with some of the parts breaking.
So, you get nine extra years on the warranty on both of the Omega VRT juicers.
Now, if you have to buy an extended warranty for any juicer, or even any appliance, it’s
going to cost you a lot of money, and currently the Omega VRT 330 is less expensive than the
Hurom HU-100.
Let’s go over here and compare more apples to apples, because the original VRT 330 still
comes with the standard screen.
Now, if you are an occasional juicer, this standard screen will be fine for you if you
juice maybe once a week and use your juicer every now and then.
But, if you are a daily juicer, I highly encourage you to get one of these two models that have
the Ultem screen or the break-resistant screen, because, for daily juicers, that’s what
you’re really going to need to be juicing trouble free.
So, with the Omega VRT 350, you get a full, once again, ten-year warranty on the base
and ten-year warranty on the juicing parts, so that is definitely important.
Also, with both the Omega juicers you also get the coarse screen that allows you to basically
make juices that have more pulp in them, or also it’s better for juicing such as fruits,
it’s going to work a little bit more effectively.
So, all these juicers on the table here are made in the same factory in Korea, made by
the same manufacturers.
So, what that means is they basically all work the same, except for minor variations,
such as the Hurom has a handle, a nice carry handle.
Whereas, both the Omega VRTs you could nice and pick them up from the bottom.
They have more of a streamlined body, so it’s a little more smaller of a footprint.
We’ll go ahead and give you a side shot there.
It’s just a little bit more sleek than this one that comes out, juts out with the handle
here.
We’re going to use the Omega VRT 350 Juicer to juice some things like some collard greens,
some apples, some little baby cucumbers – aren’t these guys real cute?
These guys are really nice, you can just drop them in hull and all, they’re going to get
juiced right up.
We have some colored carrots, so not just orange carrots, but they have colored carrots,
such as this is a white carrot, a yellow carrot, and a maroon carrot.
These are known as heirloom carrots.
They’re much less sweet than the standard, hybridized orange carrot, so I always encourage
people to juice the heirloom carrots whenever they can find them.
Also, of course, we have some celery to juice, and, finally, we have some peppers.
So, you can juice the peppers, seeds and all, but you do want to cut off the green tips.
So, next, let’s get started juicing in the Omega VRT 350 Juicer.
Once again, all these machines are going to produce the similar and same results.
The only difference, once again, is the company importing the machine into the U.S., and also
the different accessories and the warranty that it comes with.
Here at DiscountJuicers.com, we prefer the Omega VRT juicers over the Hurom juicer for
the one very important reason, is the extra nine years on the warranty.
So, on the Hurom juicer, if some of these parts, any of these parts right here, break
in the second year, guess what?
You’re going to have to buy those parts.
If any of these parts break on the Omega juicers within ten years, under defect of course,
Omega will replace them at no charge to you.
So, with that, let’s get juicing!
I’m going to turn the machine on, runs at a slow 80 rpms.
I like it a lot, really quiet, can still juice when you know you have your family or a roommate
sleeping.
And now I want to talk about the pusher.
Now, if you are using the pusher to push things into the Omega VRT or the Hurom juicer, you’re
not doing it right, because you should just be able to drop the produce in and let the
machine take it at its own pace, at its speed.
If you’re trying to push things in too quick, that could actually put force the produce
through the machine and then the machine won’t operate the best way possible.
So, first, we’re going to just take a cucumber, literally just drop it in the machine.
The next thing we’re going to do, we’re going to take a collard leaf.
Now, it’s best to basically, uh, break up your collard leaves, because the string has
been known to get stuck in the machine.
So we’re breaking a couple pieces off here of the collards and feed them in.
Next, we’re going to then take a carrot, push that in, and it literally self feeds
nice and easy.
Feed some more collard leaves in there.
Next, we’re going to take a pepper.
We’re going to pull off the green top, the rest of the pepper can be juiced, seeds and
all.
Now, if you do have a pepper, and it’s a hot pepper, it’s definitely going to fire
up your juice, so that’s always nice.
We’re going to go ahead and, uh, rip this pepper in half so it’ll fit into the feed
chute, seeds and all no problem in the Omega VRT 350 Juicer.
And pepper juice is absolutely delicious.
I love it.
This is going to be so good.
Next we’re going to take a cucumber.
Next we’re going to cut up a piece of apple here.
Always like to put apples in my green juice, definitely makes it a little bit sweeter and
more palatable.
Next we’re going to juice some celery.
Once again, these celeries, you know have these strings on there, they always get stuck
in your teeth, and besides getting stuck in your teeth, they will also get stuck in the
juicer.
For so, for that reason, you shouldn’t just take the whole thing of celery and put it
in.
You should just break it up into little pieces.
That way the juicer will better be able to deal with the strings in the celery, or you
could just actually de-string your celery before putting it in the machine for best
results.
Let’s go ahead and put in maroon carrot.
I love putting in foods of color when juicing, because those foods of color basically transfer
into antioxidants for us.
Antioxidants basically counteract the free radical damage that happens all the time,
so they help to keep you young and healthy.
Let’s put another cucumber in there, and I think we’re not putting enough collard
greens.
And when you are juicing, some of the greens I recommend if you’re especially just starting
out in juicing, you don’t want to juice more than one-quarter of your cup in dark
greens or any kind of leafy green vegetable.
They can be, actually, kind of strong, and they, they are definitely strong-tasting,
and you might not like the taste, number one, and we want you to like the taste.
So, it’s important to not juice that many.
Plus, they can be very detoxifying, and, uh, you know if you juice a lot of greens you
can have a bad detox reaction.
Next, we’re just going to break off some pieces, once again, of the collard leaves,
put that in.
This is a nice, good vegetable juice, including greens, and I encourage everybody to, you
know, juice more greens in your diet.
Most Americans don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables in their diet.
And especially most Americans don’t get enough leafy greens in their diet.
Now leafy greens are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet.
I mean, think about how cows, how do cows get to be a thousand pounds, you know, and
they’re fairly strong creatures.
All they eat is grass, which is another, yet, leafy kind of green is blades of grass.
And, yes, the Omega VRT juicer will juice leaves of grass or wheatgrass, more appropriately.
But the leafy greens have a high nutrient density, so they, what that means is they’re
really rich and really rich in nutrients and vitamins and minerals and all kinds of other
things that are good for our bodies, so we should all be juicing as many leafy greens
as possible.
And when you juice the leafy greens, like, I mean, I could sit here and eat all these
collard, but any of you guys could all these collards, I mean, these are collards are really
good home grown, but most people wouldn’t eat this many collards.
But when you put this many collards through the juicer, you can get all the benefits of
these collards, except for the fiber.
So, you’re going to get all the nutrition that’s been extracted.
All the liquid gold, the liquid vitamins that our bodies can then easily absorb and will
get all the nutrition from the collards without you having to eat them.
So, this is also good for sneaking greens in your kids, you know, meals and juicing
them with this juice here, you could actually turn that into soup or sometimes I just, actually,
I just like to drink it straight it’s just so good, but make sure you get enough apples
in there.
Once again, the little baby cucumbers right in there.
Most standard cucumbers sometimes have a bitter skin, and if you juice the regular cucumber
with the bitter skin, you might make your juice taste a bit funny.
Once again, an apple.
Let’s put some more celery in there.
Once again, we’re going to rip the celery into little two-inch pieces for best results.
You could also use the knife, but it’s a little bit easier to just tear it up into
little pieces.
Working real well.
Let’s go ahead and go for a white carrot.
Drop the white carrot in there.
The VRT 350, once again, has the Ultem screen, the same as the Hurom HU-100.
That’s the machine I recommend if you’re going to be a heavy-duty juicer and be juicing
a lot, because there have been some challenges with the original Omega VRT 330 screen cracking.
Now, if you do have one of the older models of the Hurom juicer, you know, Hurom may upgrade
you to the new screen, but also along with the new screen, there’s a new juicing bowl
that’s new.
So, if you just get the screen, it may not fit your juicer, so you’ll have to call
up Hurom to get that taken care of.
Also, on the Omega 330 juicer, Omega’s policy is that they, if you call them up, you can
buy the new Ultem screen for the juicer, but you also, once again, may have to buy the
bowl as well, so it is an optional upgrade.
Go ahead and put the last cucumber in there.
It looks like our collection cup is pretty much full as we juice that last cucumber.
Once again, the pulp is coming out really slowly, and let me talk about this pulp, you
know.
This pulp is one of the driest pulps out of any of the juicers that we sell.
Of course, you know, no juicer is a hundred percent efficient unless you get like a press,
like the Welles press we offer.
Then you can press out this pulp further, but overall, I believe the Omega VRT 330,
VRT 350, and the Hurom HU-100 juicer do a really effective and efficient job at juicing
most things.
Now, if you want to juice mostly leafy greens, well, then, I’d recommend another juicer
for you.
