What's the difference between the 8227 and the 8228 I hear you ask? Other than the finish on the motor body, they are identical. The 8227 has a matt silver finish and the 8228 has a glossy chrome finish. Everything else is identical.
The 8000 series of juicers is the predecessor of the NC range from the incomparable Omega brand. The 8228 is a strong and capable machine in its own right and will not only produce amazing cold press juices, it is capable of creating foods such as nut butters, baby food, soy milk, nut milks and tasks such as extruding pastas, grinding spices, mincing herbs and garlic - amongst others. The Omega 8228 really is the complete system allowing you to be as creative as you want, with the ingredients that you choose.
Omega has been successfully operating in the discerning US market for decades and has positioned themselves as the go-to brand for cold press juicers, blenders and their complete Nutrition Centres. You just have to read the reviews on US-based websites to see that they are well regarded. They are fast becoming the favourite go-to Juicer for Aussies.
Explanation of Model Numbers: the 8228 is identical to the US version 8008. The number '2' distinguishes the fact that the machine has an Aussie plug at the end of the cord and is suited to our 220/240V power. This is the only difference. Do not get sucked in to buying a 110V anything from overseas sites - they will not cope with the 240V. The 8228 (Chrome) is identical to the 8227 (Silver) with the only difference being the colour/finish. The 8227 is a matt silver/grey and the 8228 is a glossy chrome finish.
Exceptionally quiet in operation, the Omega 8228 will help you attain that healthy diet you have been looking for. Manufactured in South Korea, the Omega range has been available in the US only - until now. With the Americans being a particularly fussy market, the Omega juicers have been designed with robust parts, a strong motor and with minimum-fuss in mind. You won't be disappointed with your selection of an Omega.
The 8000 Series compared to the NC Range: The 8226 is the earliest model of the 8000 series and some changes have been implemented in subsequent models (ie. 8227/8228). The size of the feed chute is slightly smaller in the 8226/7/8 as opposed to the NC range and there is no adjustable end cap such as the one on the NC's. This cap allows you to adjust the pressure inside the drum based on the type of food you are juicing - ie. sloppy citrus fruits vs leafy greens such as wheatgrass which can become like a tough rope once twisted and juiced. This feature is not available on the 8000 machines so the pulp flows out freely and umimpeded.
The differences in the 8000 series - the feeding chute on the 8227/8228 is slightly larger than the 8226; the juicing screen has a larger surface area on the 8227/8228 which improves efficiency and yield of juice; the juicing screen has a stainless steel sleeve which reinforces the part.
Should any part or parts of the Omega 8228 Juicer become defective during the first 10 full years or the motor during the first 20 full years, the Australian Distributor (located in QLD) will repair or replace the defective part/parts or motor at the manufacturer's option free of charge.
The Omega J8228 Juicer And Nutrition Centre is one of the world's top performing single auger masticating juicers. With juicing parts made from GE Ultem™ which is 8 times harder than other plastic components, its also very durable. It has a moulded carry handle integrated into the motor housing that makes the business of moving this sleek and shiny beauty into place for juicing a lot easier.

What you are seeing here is the Omega 8228 Cold-Press Juicer (equivalent to the 8008 but with Aussie plugs). The 8228 is equipped with a powerful motor and thoroughly chews up plant fibers to fully extract vitamins, enzymes, and minerals from fruits and vegetables.
The Omega 8228 Juicer is supported by a strong domestic warranty - 20 Years on the Motor & 10 Years on Parts. All warranty issues are all looked after by the Australian warranty provider located in Northern QLD. Replacement parts are shipped to you and there is no need to send the machine overseas should you encounter any problems.
Juices wheatgrass, fruits, vegies and leafy greens - everything from carrots, beetroot, apples, oranges, cabbage, kale and beyond.
Cold press juice extractor retaining a very high level of nutrients and enzymes.
Quiet operation - ideal for those who like it quiet at home.
Easy & quick to clean - minimal moving parts. Parts are dishwasher safe but it is best to hand wash the parts immediately after using (or when you've finished your glass of juice!). After awhile, some parts may develop a film or scale and this is easily removed by either soaking in some water/bi-carb soda or in baby bottle cleaning solution.
The Omega 8228 has an upgraded juicing screen. Designed with dual stainless steel inserts, the screen boasts 25% more surface area than previous models (as well as the Oscar range). For added strength, the screen is now made with thicker plastic. These improvements ensure the Omega 8228 Nutrition Centre is more efficient and durable than prior models.
A smart Chrome finish is available. All Omega Juicers are 100% BPA-Free.
