Hi Ray,

Thanks for posting. I own a Norwalk press so I know
about juicers that are built like tanks:)!!!

About the omega 8001: Does it heat up while juicing?
Ive had some juicers do this. I make me wonder what is
happening to the enzymes etc when this happens.
How much does it weigh?
In your opinion is it built to last? Quality, juice
yield and ease of use are more important to me than
price. Juicing, especially grass and weed juicing is
something I have done for awhile now and something
I'll be doing for many years to come, so quality is
important.

Thanks,
Art
