A while ago I was on a "health retreat" to try to get my diet under control (another long story).

While there the topic of juicers came up and they showed two contenders that were reccomended. After a lot of checking out review sites, asking friends and generally over-thinking it all, I went for the Oscar to replace our venerable Breville (traditional, messy inefficient food shredding unit).

Very glad I did.

Oscar cold presses fruit, greens, grasses and veggies. Being cold pressed and not macerated or heated, the juice will keep fres...Read more

Thanks Kitty - June 08 2013
WOW Thanks for posting your problem because I have just experienced the same or similiar.
As I was juicing carrots one by one utilizing its self feed process without using the food pusher at all I suddenly heard the crunch crack crash type of noise so immediately reached behind and switched the juicer off.
On investigation I found that the carrot fibrous had jammed in the end section where the mouth of the strainer and the auger meet.
This apparently created a situation of binding the strainer to the auger where ...Read more

got this juicer after having 2 sunbeam je9000 that both lasted about 2 weeks between them both. Wow what a difference spending a bit more money. It Juices with ease, whole carrotts at a time, has not jammed once unlike the sunbeam which couldnt handle anything really. At first when i saw all the set up i thought gee alot of bits and pieces, but it makes it so simple to clean. Its also very quiet, but does take up a little bit more room than some of the upright type of juicers, but it works so much better. So glad i paid the extra. I went from a...Read more

This is our second juicer and it's such an amazing machine. Our previous juicer was a centrifugal type one, and I was never happy with that machine as I'm a shift worker and a) it was very noisy and would wake me up when my husband used it and i was trying to sleep, and b) the juice would separate into pulp and water after about 10 minutes so I was never able to make a juice the night before to take to work with me. The Oscar, on the other hand, is super super quiet and makes the most fantastic juices with minimal pulp, so I'm now able to make ...Read more

After much research online on the topic of juicer, I have finally made up my mind to splurge on getting the Oscar Neo. I am persuaded by the fact that a cold press juicer can supposedly retain more good stuff from the veggies and fruits compared to the typical centrifugal juicers. Got the machine delivered today and made the first glass for apple/carrot/ginger/mint/celery juice. The first impressive thing that wowed me was how quiet the machine is (definitely not as loud as blender type of juicers you see from juice bars)! Assembling the parts ...Read more

After using a centrifugal juice extractor for years I was unprepared for the huge difference in taste, flavour, and maximum juice extraction features of the Oscar Neo. The dial the level of pulp feature is terrific and the amount of juice extracted from fruit/vegetables is doubled compared to a centrifugal machine. The juice does not separate and lasts at least 2 days in the fridge. A perfect machine for keeping healthy with the minimum of effort. And so easy to clean.
Solid, well engineered machine with 10 year guarantee. The black plastic au...Read more

I've had a Breville centrifugal juicer and then had a Greenpower for a while..this one was definately worth the purchase. I'm not sure why other reviewers are saying that the juice is pulpy - mine is pulp free. The big plus compared to the greenpower or breville one is the ease of cleaning. It is fantastically quick and this does make a difference to whether or not you decide to make a juice. If you are fanatical then the greenpower one does extract a little more, particularly with greens/wheatgrass but it took forever to clean and unless y...Read more

We bought this juicer about a year ago. It definitely gets the most out of the fruit and veg. The waste is very dry. You do get quite pulpy juice but I see this as a good thing as it gives you more fibre. Never had a problem with pineapple as some other reviews suggested. When I bought it, we actually got upgraded to the neo as the lower model was not available.

Be careful to put the ingredients in the right order. Soft things first and hard last. Apples are something to watch out for. They need to be really fresh and crunchy or it will jus...Read more

I have an Oscar Neo DA1000 juicer for less than 2 years and the juicing strainer started to crack then eventually break. I was quite surprised. The machine haven't been used everyday, parts never been in dishwasher, always hand wash with sponge, soft brush and mild gentle detergent. As like you guys I loved the juicer and we look after it.
I claimed the warranty for this part but I have been told that it would not be covered under the warranty. I were refused for the claim. I thought the parts come with 5 years warranty "(extended to "10 yrs")...Read more

I was looking at the Hurom 400 Pro-Juicer and the Oscar DA-1000 Neo (incidentally, both juicers are made by the same Korean company) and chose the Oscar Neo as the sales person recommended the juicer due to it's flexibility in creating other things like spagetti, ice cream, etc. other than just juice.
I then looked up a U-Tube comparison website which "identifies" the difference in the amount of pulp between the Oscar Neo and the Hurom 400 Pro Juicer and the Oscar was the outright winner in the U-Tube test. It stated that the juice produced b...Read more

I love this juicer, I went from a Breville to this and havent looked back, it handles everything I can throw at it. All the leafy stuff is no problem for this juicer. I even jam stuff down and put all my weight on it to force the vegies through and it never misses a beat. Whole carrots (as long as they are not too fat) are no problem. The only thing as others have mentioned is the soft fruits and berries, but as long as they are followed by something harder, they go through. I bought a vertical cold press juicer for work and ended up returning ...Read more

I purchased this juicer in the beginning of February and so far it has performed as promised. This type of juicer was chosen because I wanted to juice leafy greens and vegetables along with some smaller amounts of fruit. A lot of juicers do not juice greens very well or at all.

So far this juicer has juiced carrots, beetroot, ginger, garlic, apples, cucumber, celery, tomatoes and many types of green leafy vegetables and herbs. As cucumber and tomatoes are so soft they don't get pushed through the auger so it is necessary to follow one to ...Read more

I got the Oscar after reading these great reviews and I avoid fructose anyway so I thought who cares if it can't handle pineapple. The machine worked great for a couple of weeks but now whenever I'm making a jug of green veggie juice (enough to last me 2 days) I have to stop 4 or 5 times to clean out the gunk that accumulates in the moving parts. Soft leaves like spinach are the "gunkiest" but even crisp fresh celery causes mess and inconvenience. I don't know if all juicers are like this because it's my first and to be fair the juice is delici...Read more
