(More customer reviews)First, let me say that I am not new to juicing. I have an old Omega, I think it's the 1000 model. It is a centrifugal juicer without pulp ejection. I also have a Breville "wide mouth" (which I don't like), and an Omega 8006. So, I know how to put the parts together and I am very experienced with juicing.
I think my Omega Big Mouth juicer (this product) may be defective. The blade shaves off plastic from the bottom of the top piece. In addition, there is side leakage. I juiced beets, and red juice spilled out of the side, down onto the power switch area, and onto my counter.
I wanted this juicer to complement my Omega 8006. There are times that I don't want to do the cutting that the 8006 requires, so I wanted to use the Omega Big Mouth for those times. But obviously I don't want to consume plastic shavings and have juice spill over my counter.
I did place everything very precisely and made sure that it wasn't "user error". As I said above, I am very experienced with juicing, and this is the first juicer that I've used that has ever ended up juicing plastic and spilling while juicing.
Update:
The plastic shavings that came off have embedded themselves in the centrifugal sides. I am watching TV tonight while trying to remove them. Even a nylon brush is having trouble removing them. This is not the new-juicer-experience that I was looking for when I bought this juicer.
Update:
Many of the plastic shavings are not coming off the screen. I don't know the physics involved, but maybe it's because plastic shavings at 12,000 rpm hitting the screen may have permanently embedded in to the screen. This juicer is ruined, and I only got to use it once.
Update:
Now the juicer has a hard time turning on. I know that it has to be assembled correctly for it to turn on, as a safety measure. I've used other juicers before, including the Omega 1000, so assembling a juicer is nothing new to me. This one is clearly defective. Unfortunately, I have the box for the juicer, but not the styrofoam that goes in the box for packaging.
I bought it from [...] and don't know if I will be able to return it. All I would want is a replacement juicer that works.

A great way to enjoy the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables, this commercial juicer squeezes every nutritious drop out of carrots, oranges, kale, pineapple, and other produce for a fresh, delicious addition or replacement to any meal. Beautifully housed in rugged stainless steel, the juicer features a 350-watt, 1/2-horsepower induction motor, which propels a heavy-duty stainless-steel blade at 12,000 RPMs for maximum juice extraction in a minimal amount of time. Freshly squeezed juice dispenses from the front spout directly into a glass or pitcher. The unit's oversized chute can fit a whole apple and a variety of other produce with little to no prep work required, while its automatic pulp-ejection system channels seeds and pulp into a large-capacity pulp collector in the back of the machine for quick disposal or composting. Other highlights include a stainless-steel basket and cover, simple operation, an easy-to-clean design, and a compact size for space-saving storage from one use to the next. UL-approved, the electric fruit-and-vegetable juicer measures approximately 12-1/2 by 8 by 15 inches and carries a 10-year limited warranty.
