The NC800 is excellent with only a couple acceptable weaknesses. It is inexpensive considering it can do all my juicing and even make nut butters very well like the Champion. This is the first juicer I've used that does a very good job of juicing leafy greens, so a dedicated expensive greens juicer is no longer required. It definitely sets a new standard for juicers.
The juice is still cool with very high quality full flavor. It lasts a week in the frig, which says a lot about the quality of the juice extraction. There is only 1 or 2 tablespoons of foam on the top of a quart, which is very good. It's quiet with little vibration.
Easy cleanup is very important. The Greenstar was a real pain to scrub and clean all the parts. The Champion was pretty easy. The NC800 is a little easier than the Champion. I'm lazy so I often let it sit for hours after juicing or between juicing different vegetables, usually 5 lbs of carrots, a beet, and 4 stalks of celery and it's still easy to clean. I use an Oxo bottle brush which reaches all the way into the juicer body and cleans it right out. Even the screen cleans easily without any scraping or scrubbing with a hard toothbrush.
I almost exclusively juice one quart of carrots, one beet, and a separate two quarts of celery juice:
Celery juices easily with dry fiber out and absolutely no clogging/backup, like you get with the Champion.
Carrots are clunky to push through (it seems to break them into chunks first and then grinds them) and you only get 4 cups from 5 lbs of carrots instead of the usual 5 cups, which is the worst I've seen in a juicer but not that important to me. It takes all but monster size carrots. I can't remember having to cut a carrot lengthwise first but I think I have once or twice.
Beet is a little clunky, like carrots, with the same inefficiency but the juice is very good, like every other juice.
I have juiced some other fruits and vegetables just to get an idea of the overall capability of the NC800:
Spinach juices very well with 1/5 foam at most, which is far better than other juicers like the Greenstar which claim to be able to juice leafy greens. There is a trick to juicing leafy greens. Don't bunch them up or try to push them through. Trickle them slowly through on their own.
Mustard greens juice efficiently and better than spinach. Use the same method as spinach. Just cut them in half if necessary before dropping them through the juicer. Even a high quality $1000 grass/leafy greens juicer will only do a little better, and is completely unnecessary.
Cucumber does backup but clears quickly when you use the reverse button. You do need to cut cucumbers in half lengthwise and there is a lot of pulp in the juice, which you may want to filter out. This is one of the few items where you do need to switch from the 5 setting to the 1 setting to get it to juice decently. It's good enough, but if you drink a lot of pure cucumber juice, this might not be the best juicer.
Oranges juice like the Champion giving you an Orange Julius type juice, creamy and milky, which some people, like me, prefer.
Grapes give hard fiber out but backup after only 2 cups, so it isn't usable unless you are only using a combination of some grapes with mostly other juices. The 1 setting, like cucumbers, definitely helps in the case of grapes.
Apples backup after only 3 apples. You will have to cut medium size apples into quarters. You will get too much foam, too. This is definitely not a juicer for apple based juices, but you might get away with juicing 1 or 2.
Pistachios make fine nut butter. I used raw pistachios and the nut butter was dry but that just depends on the nut. You can always just add a little oil. There is a trick to making nut butters. Like leafy greens, you need to just trickle the nuts in slowly with no filling up and pushing which will just clog it and make it very hard to push through. This is different, but just as good as the Champion for nut butters.
The plastic pitcher doesn't pour very well and the plastic fiber out container is a pain to clean. I use my Greenstar glass pitcher and a glass bowl for the fiber which is easy to empty and clean.
As others have mentioned, this NC800 HDS 5th generation is the same as the NC900 HDC 6th generation with the same big feed chute, except for the color, silver/gray vs chrome. I think the NC800 also comes in red. I'm very happy with my NC800, and it's a little cheaper.
25 Nov 2017 update:
I get a cup of juice per pound on small carrots. If you use small carrots or slice them lengthwise as others have suggested and use very little pressure to mostly let them pull through on their own you'll get as much juice as almost any other juicer. You decide whether you want to juice faster or slower by slicing and patiently waiting in order to get more juice per carrot.
23 Dec 2018 update:
I just got 3 oz of wheatgrass juice with a little less than a tablespoon of foam from 4 oz of wheatgrass, so it really does juice wheatgrass, too.
I previously bought the Breville JE98XL Centrifugal juicer. At the time, I had wanted to get a decent juicer but didn't want to spend much. (In hindsight, it cost me more to get a cheaper juicer that didn't squeeze much out of anything I juiced.) If you're only interested in making orange juice and stuff, the Breville was fine, I guess? The pulp was never that dry (and yes, I tried all the tricks) plus the centrifugal juicers are CRAP at juicing greens. IYES, yes they are - there's no amount of rolling greens around other produce to get more out of them. And forget running the pulp back through a centrifugal juicer, it usually just spins right back out immediately. I don't juice fruits, other than lemons & limes and MAYBE the occasional apple. I'm interested primarily in greens. So I gave up on juicing at home for awhile because the amount of money I was spending on produce for the amount of juice I was getting was ridiculous. Also, I could not STAND cleaning the large screen on the Breville. No matter how much soaking and scrubbing I did, the screen always seemed covered in pulp residue.
But I've been feeling run down with allergies lately. I spent a lot of money purchasing fresh green juices from a nearby place and noticed that I felt significantly better for a few days. Given how much I spent on a couple days' worth of juice, I figured I could either resign myself to spend too much on juice for a few days or just go at it again with a better, masticating juicer.
I would have loved to have gotten one of those huge Norwalk's but I wasn't about to spend $1000+. The Omegas got good reviews and I decided to go for the NC800 over the J8006 for two reasons: One, the adjustable end cap because it said that you could tighten the pressure of the auger for things like greens, but loosen it for softer fruits or hard vegetables. I wanted to get the very most out of greens that I possibly can. Two, the feeding tube is oval and a little bigger than the J8006. I don't mind doing prep work and cutting things up, but if there was an option, might as well take the larger tube. The NC800 really doesn't cost that much more than the J8006 so might as well go for it.
Some other reviews have said there's a learning curve - I really didn't find it difficult to use, at all. I thought I had done something wrong at first because it took a few minutes for the first bit of juice to come through when I started feeding kale leaves into the tube. But then the juice started to make it's way out and I was amazed at the size of the puddle from just a couple kale leaves. I spent a couple of minutes cutting up celery, peeling a cucumber & cutting it, tearing apart leaves, and peeling a lemon. No big deal. And totally worth it. Especially since with this juicer I can make one big batch and stick the rest in the fridge for a day or two. For this first go around I juiced: one cucumber, a small knob of ginger, about 6 stalks of celery, several leaves of kale and romaine, two small lemons. (I also added a couple pinches of sea salt at the end for an extra kick.) For the amount of juice I got with this juicer, I would have had to have used TWICE as much produce in the old Breville centrifugal. Plus, this juice definitely tastes brighter and crisper AND the juice actually seems a little thicker without being pulpy at all. (Oh, I forgot - I also added parsley and I can actually TASTE the parsley flavor now!)
There are many little parts but it is SO easy to clean. You really don't need to scrub anything if you clean it immediately - just rinse it under hot water or let it soak for a few minutes and rinse off. I scrubbed the little screen quickly with the brush that's included, but it was SO quick and easy.
Lastly, this juicer is much quieter than the Breville. The noise never bothered me so much, but with this one, I feel like I now have the freedom to start the juice even while the rest of my family is still sleeping. I LOVE this juicer and I wish I had just spent the extra few dollars to get it last year. (PS I am now off to try to convince someone on Craigslist to buy the old juicer... *smile*)
Top reviews from other countries
Before you commit to a particular juicer, I highly recommend that you go searching, especially on youtube, in order to get some information on the types of juicers and what they specialize in, in order to avoid dropping a few hundred dollars on something you will hate. If you search "juicer reviews", you will find lots of resources. John Kohler on youtube is an amazing resource. I am by no means an expert but I learned a lot by reading and watching online videos on the subject.
Before I write any more, please be aware that this TYPE of juicer excels at juicing leafy greens. That is not to say that it cannot juice other things, but this is what it is specialized for. If leafy greens are something you juice often, you will love this juicer. I juiced a whole pound of leafy greens with it already and the results were impressive. The juicer created very little foam. This is in contrast to my Omega VRT 400HD, which tends to create more foamy juices. As a side note, the VRT 400 seems to be better at fruits, but not as great at leafy vegetables.
The nice thing about the NC800, is that you can do more with it than just juice. I threw in some cashews and as the internet instructions said, I ran them through a few times. By the 4th run, I had homemade Cashew Butter.The cleanup job was not the funnest but the taste of cashew butter was worth it.
As with all masticating juicers, the amount of noise is very low. I don't have a decibel measuring device but I can tell you that I live in a building and I ran it after midnight with no concerns about disturbing neighbors. It's so quiet that you can have a conversation with somebody right beside you while juicing.
As with most masticating juicers, some prepwork is required before you can feed veggies into the machine. This amount of time varies with what you are juicing of course, but you will have to cut produce in order for it to fit through the chute.
The juicer is quite big, especially with the attachment installed (if you look at the picture, the tube can be taken off the main unit), which may be an issue for people who do not have a lot of countertop space.
The juicer can also mince vegetables and create baby food, as well as create your own almond milk, coconut milk and so on. It comes with different end caps which can be used to make homemade noodles/pasta, baby food etc. I saw a video of somebody making homemade salsa as well.
So how's the cleanup? well, if you own a VRT400 (or 330 or 350) you can expect the same amount of time (or maybe just a touch less). It does come with a cleaning brush, which looks like a toothbrush but I think I will get a bigger brush. That's just personal preference.
The one gripe I have with the juicer is that it comes with really poor supporting documentation. It comes with assembly instructions which are easy to follow, but not one recipe. I have no idea how to make my own noodles and I will have to look this up. For a juicer which cost almost $400, I would have expected at least a few basic recipes for each interchangeable end cap.
That is a minor gripe, and in no way does it make this juicer lose any stars.
Good:
- Quiet
- Versatile (can make many things besides just juice)
- 15 Year warranty
- Low foam juice (Yes!!!)
Bad:
- Poor supporting documentation
All in all, a fantastic machine.
