🚦 Performance Comparison

In terms of performance, there’s not much difference when comparing Hurom vs Omega. Both Hurom and Omega produce slow masticating juicers, and the horizontal and vertical models function very similarly.

The biggest difference is design. Hurom’s vertical juicers have a vertical auger, or juicing screw. This can improve the efficiency of a juicer and boost its performance, requiring less work pushing the produce into the chute from you. Omega’s horizontal juicers have a horizontal auger, which can be better for grinding and crushing, but are more prone to clogging.

Juice yield is an important marker of performance. Hurom’s vertical juicers provide a slightly higher yield because they have gravity on their side. Omega’s juicing machines yield a foamier juice due to their horizontal design. However, these juicer extractors are more versatile, and are better for non-juicing purposes, such as making nut milk.

Overall, both Hurom juicers and Omega juicers are equal in performance. One style of juicer might suit you better than the other, depending on what you plan to juice.

🧼 Ease of Use & Cleanup

Hurom and Omega both generally offer products that are easy to use and clean, but exactly how easy depends on the product in question.

Hurom particularly focuses on designing easy-to-use products. You’ll find that most of Hurom’s juicers contain very few parts and are easy to put together. Because fewer components are included, cleanup is faster, too. However, most of Hurom’s juicers’ components aren’t dishwasher-safe, so you’ll need to put more work into manual cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintence of Hurom Juicer

Omega juicers are also built for ease of use and maintenance, although the horizontal juicer design usually comes with more components, and you may need to push food down the chute. Some of Omega’s juicers have a self-cleaning function that cleans the juicer before you take it apart, requiring less work from you. Many of Omega’s juice extractors contain components that are top-rack dishwasher-safe, too.

Comparing Hurom vs Omega in ease of use and cleanup, Hurom’s juicers are generally easier to assemble and use, while Omega’s juicer extractors are easier to clean.

πŸ”¨ Durability

Hurom juicers have heavy-duty designs, with strong augers and strainers and stainless steel casings. Hurom juicers are intended for everyday use, and should last for at least 10 years.

With their stainless steel components and powerful motors, Omega’s juice extractors are also designed with durability in mind. The screen and screen housing in Omega’s products are particularly resistant to damage when used regularly for juicing. Most Omega juicers come with 15-year guarantees, which gives you an idea of just how long these juicers are intended to last.

Hurom and Omega juicers are some of the most durable juicers on the market. No matter which brand you buy from, you can rest assured that your juicer will last for a minimum of a decade with proper care.

πŸ”Š Noise Output

Hurom juicers run at about 40-60 decibels. The average conversation is about 60 decibels, so a Hurom juicer shouldn’t wake your neighbors.

Omega’s juicers are slightly louder on average, at about 60-65 decibels. Still, these juicers aren’t loud enough to drown out speech.

There’s no winner between Hurom and Omega when it comes to noise output because both manufacturers offer slow juicers, which are naturally much quieter than centrifugal juicers.

πŸ’² Models & Upfront Cost

When it comes to cost, Omega and Hurom juicers are priced very similarly. The biggest difference in the models offered by these two manufacturers is their design.

Vertical vs Horizontal

Hurom specializes in vertical juicers, while Omega offers more horizontal juicers. This doesn’t hugely affect performance, as both the vertical and horizontal juicers are slow masticating, meaning that they crush, rather than shred, produce.

Omega Specializes in Horzontal Juicers
Omega Horizontal Juicer

Horizontal juicers have a horizontal juicing screw, and are typically longer than vertical juicers. Horizontal juicing machines tend to be more versatile, and are better at juicing leafy greens. It’s common for horizontal machines to have additional functions, like baby food and nut butter making.

Vertical juicers have an upright design with a larger auger. These juicers can produce a higher yield and can produce juices with a smoother texture. Hurom was the first manufacturer to invent a vertical juicer with a single auger, which is efficient and easy to use.

Although Hurom was traditionally known for vertical juicers and Omega for horizontal juice extractors, you can still find horizontal Hurom juicers, and vertical juice extractors from Omega.

βš™οΈ Components & Accessories

With their vertical designs, Hurom juicers have very few parts to worry about. Hurom does offer some optional add-ons, however, such as airtight jars, and cutting boards and knife sets for preparing your fruits and vegetables before juicing.

Omega’s juicers are more versatile, and come with a range of more interesting accessories. Adjustable end caps, auto-cleaners, and travel glass bottles are available to buy alongside your Omega juicer. Omega also stocks replacement parts, including screens, drums, and augers, so if your machine breaks, you can easily replace the component instead of buying a brand-new juicer.

Comparing both manufacturers’ slow juicer accessories and parts, Omega just comes out on top. However, you’re almost guaranteed to find what you’re looking for no matter which of these brands you buy from.

πŸ“œ Warranty

Most of Hurom’s slow juicer products, including the Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer and the Hurom Celery & Greens Horizontal Slow Juicer, are backed by a 2-year warranty on the parts and a 10-year warranty on the motor. This means that, if the parts or the motor are broken during normal use, you will be entitled to a free replacement within the warranty period.

The majority of Omega’s slow juicer designs, including the Omega VSJ843QS Vertical Slow Masticating Juicer and the Omega MM900HDS Low Speed Masticating Juicer, have impressive 15-year warranties. Omega is the best manufacturer on the market as far as warranties are concerned, and you won’t find a better warranty for a juicer by any other brand.

πŸ’¬ Customer Reviews & Complaints

Hurom’s juicers are enjoyed by thousands of customers, and the brand’s overall reputation is high.

The Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer has around 75% 5-star ratings on Amazon, and customers agree that the juicer is quiet and efficient, easy to clean, and ideal for juicing leafy greens like spinach.

Customers are also happy with the Hurom Celery & Greens Horizontal Slow Juicer, with reviewers saying that this juicer is easy to assemble, quick to work, and easy to clean.

Hurom Celery & Greens Review

Some customers mentioned that the juicer isn’t good at processing cucumber and other fruits, and produces a lot of pulp – although this is to be expected, as the juicer is designed for juicing leafy greens.

Omega’s slow juicers are also some of the most highly-rated on the market. The Omega MM900HDS Low Speed Masticating Juicer has around 80% 5-star reviews on Amazon, with customers praising the slow juicer for allowing for easy cleanup, being a good value for money, and being quiet and efficient to operate.

However, some customers complained that the juicer can be difficult to assemble and disassemble, and that certain parts, including the auger and the rubber gasket on the juice filter, are weak.

The Omega VSJ843QS Vertical Slow Masticating Juicer has similar praise from customers, with 75% 5-star ratings on Amazon. Customers mentioned that the juicer has the best engineered auger design, produces virtually no pulp, and has a great warranty.

Omega VSJ843QS Review

On the negative side, some customers said that this slow juicer isn’t versatile (it can only make juices, like most vertical juicers), and can sometimes get blocked with hard root vegetables. Some customers also complained about the price.

Comparing Hurom vs Omega, both have a very similar ratio of positive to negative reviews, although Omega’s products have more reviews than Hurom’s. There isn’t a clear winner in this category.

πŸ’‘ Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hurom or Omega offer High Speed Juice Extractors?

No. Neither brand offers centrifugal, high-speed juicing products. The cold press juicing systems offered by these two brands yield a better-quality juice and have more impressive features.

Are Hurom and Omega Products Good for Beginners?

Slow juicer technology is higher in price, so if you’re new to juicing and you don’t know if you’ll enjoy the hobby, you may want to steer clear of Hurom and Omega, and look for a centrifugal juicer brand. However, if you’re a committed beginner, investing more in a Hurom or Omega juicer with better features will give you a better long-term juicing experience.

Are there Any Hurom or Omega Products to Steer Clear Of?

In my opinion, no. These brands offer products at a higher price point for one simple reason: you can rely on their durability and high performance. However, I do think that some products are better than others, and customer feedback will tell you the same. I’ve reviewed the best juice extractors from both brands on my website. If you’re unsure whether a juicing system is worth your money, do your research and find out what customers are saying before you buy.

Do Omega and Hurom Products Yield a Healthy Juice?

Yes. Cold press juice extractors are best for producing a healthy juice with an intact nutrition factor. You’ll get a less healthy juice from centrifugal systems, as these introduce heat to the juicing process, and nutrition is lost as a result.

Can Your Juice Citrus Fruit in an Omega or Hurom Juice Extractor?

Not ideally. If you plan to juice a lot of citrus, I recommend buying a separate citrus press, which will do a much better job.
