Omega 1000

The Omega 1000 juicer is fairly quiet, however, it jams and makes horrifying noises when you juice celery, unless you peel it down with a peeler; losing the nutrition.
The screw in the center that holds down the blade, for some unknown reason, has a deep groove in the center, instead of just going straight up and down.
EVERYTHING gets caught in that darn groove, and you have to stop the machine and clean it out. If you don't, the Omega 1000 juicer will become seriously unbalanced.
Also, you have to know exactly what order (thru lots of trial and error) to juice your items in, or else the filter gets clogged and nothing else comes through.
For instance, you can be juicing along, but once you put a granny smith apple in, no amount of carrots put through after that apple will result in orange colored carrot juice making it through that juicer!
It doesn't break the peel down, it just sits on the sides, clogging the filter. It's a pain. I'm here looking for a better model.
