Omega Juicer Cold Press Extractor

I spent a month trying to find a way to love this thing, adjusting my expectations over and over. Customer service are all dead in a ditch somewhere, so I toughed it out and tried to figure things out myself. After watching lots of YouTube videos and reading lots of Reddit conversations, I've come to the conclusion that using this juicer is a lot more tedious in practice than it appears to be on the surface. I was willing to give up the idea of making just orange juice or just apple juice, but even once I got to the point where I'm SLOWLY shoving a complex equation of different hard and soft things in there just to try to keep things moving, I wasn't satisfied and my juice was chunky. Other one star reviews say the same thing - the fine mesh screen just clogs too easily. Yes it's easy to take it apart and clean it, but I'm not interested in doing that three times just to make a glass of juice without chunks. So then, what, you're running all the stuff through the machine knowing that it's going to have chunks, you run it through a sieve after you're done and stir it to get all the chunks out. Yeah, it comes with a mesh screen that fits over the juice receptacle. You'll be dead in the ground and thirsty if you wait for that thing to work, it overflows before it drains because of all this chunky jawn Don't be selfish and try to just make a glass of orange juice that's bad for you anyway you sugar piggy you should be ashamed. So you're making sure that you alternate one piece of soft fruit like orange or apple with something harder like beet, and even then the screen clogs before you've made it through your first orange. I've tried many times to learn the secret handshake of just how many hard things you need to process one soft thing. I quit, I'm sending this thing back and ordering a nut milk bag to strain juice I make in my blender like a caveman. Honorable mention, making fruit sorbet like a banana whip with this masticating juicer is a beautiful thing. But I didn't pay $320 for a banana whip machine, dawg
