Hurom offer 2-year warranty for the parts and 10-year warranty for motors Just to clarify. also Hurom has higher yield on certain things and Nama has higher on certain things. They are both amazing, hurrom is easier and quicker to clean. The chemical issue is only a problem if you plan on chewing the mains cable
Well there's an unexpected comparison!! the Champion was my 2nd juicer, after the spinning basket. I bought it for $180 and sold it for $100. Great while I had it. Then to the Green Star, then the Omega 2008.
Nice job, John. Takeaways are the juice YIELDS are the same (look at the levels of each pitcher-tiniest difference); the Champion's teeth rip open the cells better and get more MINERALS so I believe your taste buds were getting THAT, and not just oxidation. Long ago Norwalk juicers paid a lab to test the nutrients in 3 different types of juicers/presses. These were the centrifugal juicers (lowest mineral content, lots of oxidation), next was the Champion which had DOUBLE the mineral content due to the teeth's ripping open the cell walls and slowly pushing the ground pulp through a tapered tube vs. a centrifugal juicer (acts like a spinning record with teeth, and the pulp is centrifugally slung outward and upward due to the conical juice basket). The final test was the Norwalk which if I remember correctly again DOUBLED even the Champion (a 1-step juicer which 'masticated' the pulp as it got pushed through a tapered tube). MINERALS are the keys to nutrition. I once spoke by phone with Dr. Norman Walker who literally wrote the book on juicing and raw foods, and invented his Norwalk (Norman Walker) juice press.He lived to a ripe old age and started us all on the juicing habit for superior health. Again, I respectfully disagree with John's take that the COLOR difference was only due to oxidation, but I know the minerals and their visible pigments are more strongly concentrated with a toothed Champion than a NAMA can possibly produce. At the end of this video John excitedly points up how the Champion (actually and simply explained as a result of its teeth on its auger and its tapered tube) BLOWS AWAY the taste of fruit sorbets made in the NAMA. I have owned several Champions, a Norwalk juice press, many centrifugals, a couple of slow speed twin auger juicers, and currently use an Angel commercial juicer (best of all). Every time I make juice in my commercial Angel I think of how striking is its TASTE, its texture's being almost akin to drinking PAINT or INK since the mineral content is multiple times other juicers. It is simply an amazing experience. Others taste watery by comparison and my Angel does produce up to 40% more juice in my tests. Think of what your cost difference would be if you could make your car run 40% more miles per gallon. This all said, the Nama or Hurom (I believe made in the same South Korean factory) ARE fantastic for getting one a super juice with minimal effort. People really love them.(Those are the best they have tried.) Back to the difference in taste of the NAMA juice vs. the Champion. It is really like John correctly and enthusiastically tells us, how deeeelicious is a Champion's frozen fruit sorbets vs. the NAMA's. Reason: NAMA only pushes produce through its 'tunnel' with a rotating auger mashing it up against the walls and the juice scraped through a screen. NAMA operates with zero sharp teeth; Champion's teeth really rip open produce fibers and thus release more nutrients. As practical and wonderful as they are I DARE you, John or NAMA to TEST MINERAL CONTENT of juices vs. a PURE or Norwalk press or that of an Angel). Yes, the cutter speed is 1725 on Champion vs. 50 rpm's on the NAMA's auger so of course with a NAMA there is less air whipped into the juice to oxidize it. Just drink it sooner rather than storing it. I personally modified several Champions and got fun results. Champions' motors are 1/3 hp 1725 rpm. For soft fruits I used a 1/2 hp /500 rpm motor and added a variable speed control so I can dial its speed down to 100 rpm's. It is fantastic for fruits with full benefits of sharp TEETH plus low oxidation. Then I hopped up another Champion and used a 3/4 hp/1725 rpm motor and WOW, it made juicing carrots or the hardest vegetables or roots so easy, almost effortless, (it would literally disintegrate hard ginseng into dust in an instant) and those sharp teeth ripped open way more cell walls than any centrifugal or current NAMA, etc.for an incredibly pigment/mineral-rich juice. Years ago on a phone call I suggested to Richard of Plastaket Mfg, Champion's family manufacturing operation, that "This is the juicer Plastaket SHOULD make" which was ignored. I was going to send him mine for free to prove it but he acted disinterested in something which may have turned that juicer's popularity into something incredible, able to rival anything out even today. Then I hopped up yet another Champion, installing a 2HP (6X as powerful as the factory's motors), 3450 rpm motor. Net effect: I could juice or use the solid blank screen (the one John shows you for fruit sorbets) (and nut butters) to grind a 25-jb bag of organic carrots in 5 minutes. Try that with a NAMA. It would take 5-10 NAMAS. I took it along to some vegan potlucks and everybody was spellbound. They couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing. Friends, I had already owned a Norwalk (the PURE juice press works similarly today with a few improvements- 1st step GRINDS the produce, 2nd step SQUEEZES). Although I use a commercial slow speed Angel, I love pressed juice. PER MINERAL ASSAYS (nobody bothers doing this easy test today for juicer comparisons - I think I saw that Angel juicers HAD conducted such tests) a press gets you several times more minerals than centrifugals and 2X the Champion's mineral content. The negative to me of the Norwalk (or even today's PURE juice grinder/press is the tiny yield for the amount of work and mess- only a PINT per hydraulic press stroke. So what did I do? I created a hydraulic juice press which used my Champions to grind and my custom press used a full sized restaurant pan 12" x 20" x 2" and used press cloths folded over, full of ground produce). Can you guess its yield per STROKE? Almost 1 GALLON. Anyway, it's still here and I never marketed it. This is like a PhD level treatise on juicing for those elite juicing aficianados who want to know what is possible, is secretly 'out there', being done, not yet marketed. Back to NAMAs, HUROMs: they are to simple to use and yield very good results, and as John pointed out, one of Huroms (I think the model 320) is way easier to clean than a NAMA (both made in the same mfg facility) and the HUROM gives the same quality juice. It is just that NAMA got several popular RU-vid raw foodists and juice enthusiasts onboard early to help popularize it.... This was shared just for fun since like all of you, I, too enjoy John's excellent comparison videos. After such a prolix dissertation, I say go for it with either a NAMA or HUROM if you want quick, easy, nice quality (not THE best) juice. For elitists get the new Goodnature Hummingbird (grinds, then presses and takes 1 minute to clean) or an Angel, and a commercial Angel is THE ultimate.
John take some of your blood and look at it under a microscope after the champion and after the Nama the blood cells should be dancing around after a good dose of each.
Aloha @discountjuicers Joh, looking forward to your comparison of the that quick clean Hurom you showed the other day and the J2. Can't wait for that video. Thanks.
John you are a legend. Got this video playing in the background while bulk juicing beets, apples and cucumbers with my 9 year old Kuvings Whole slow juicer 😅 Vegan for the animals ❤ Salute as always from Holland 😊
You can't juice a banana. Well you can but you get poor results no matter what juicer you use, even the J2. Which is why the Nama J2 juicer comes with a smoothie attachment. If I wanted a banana sorbet then the Nama isn't the machine I would use. I would use an ice cream/sorbet maker that is made and designed to make sorbet. There isn't a single machine that can do everything but you can pick the best one for your kitchen to keep your collection of kitchen equipment from overrunning your kitchen space.

Oh no! I love pineapple and I just bought 2 of them. I guess I’ll have to mix other things with them. Ooops I see this was a year old. Oh well, I’m late to the party.
I've used the omega vertical for 14 years. I bought it because of your recommendation. It's truly just giving out so I used your code and got $50 off of the nama J 2. Also because of your recommendation. Here's to another 14 years of regular juicing. Thank you.
John, what is the best set up? Is the best to just put it in a Blendtec with a void vacuum lid ? And then after that, put it in one of those hydraulic hand pump presses you also sell on your site? Thank you for all your great information.
We have three rhubarb plants, been there for over 30 years. Some french variety. Forget what my Dad told me they are. Either way, three times a year, they each produce literally 20 kilos of super thick fruit. Rhubarb crumble for the entire year and LOADS to give away. The other day at Morrisons supermarket I saw four piddly, thin strands of rhubarb for £3.20!!! You'd need probably FOUR of those bundles to make a single crumble. I remember thinking ... shit. I should sell Rhubarb! Plant another 15-20 plants. Have mroe than enough room. And it takes care of itself.
if you want the Nama, the best time to buy it is black Friday. I bought mine then and received John's discout PLUS the black Friday discount (on the nama site). Thanks, John, for another fantastic video. No one out there like you...
Hey john, I just purchased the j2 and used your code, and even though Nama had offered me their code to get 10% 😃 but you deserve it. and thanks for all your informative support. I always come to your channel when I need to learn. Thanks again.
Hi I just watched this video and I was wondering why you demonstrated the Nama J2 with the larger Hopper instead of the regular Hopper. 🤔🤔It made it look much larger next to the shine.
Thanks, JK…for the visual illustration on how to pulse blend high water, produce, in a vitamix! I’ve owned a vitamix for about 10-12 years and I just learned this technique, w/this very video! My plan is to blend high water content produce w/little to no added water. You’re actually a part of my health healing journey! Again, much thanks!
Quick question...I have bought and watched all of your video on the Nama juicer. You said somewhere that you remove the green tab....why? please explain why and does it make a difference? Thanks and You Rock
So sorry man but! You are promoting healthy lifestyle and you don’t look healthy. Your face is swollen, you skin is yellowish and even your cognitive responses is not normal. This is so typical of nutrition deficiency. I would assume that you are a plant based diet guy? I am a fan of yours and I thought I just need to bring this to your attention.
Hello John it would have been great to press the fiber of the namaJ2 through the pure juicer to see how much more juice u could have get and whether it would have come out yellow or with the green hue color
Thanks for the video! In Australia the Nama J2 is about $850 while the Nutribullet slow juicer was $277. For a 7% difference in juice yield, I chose the Nutribullet
I bought and burned out two Vitamix blenders. The original blender was 450.00. I bought a Chinese blender for $40 delivered that is still working perfectly more than two years later and blends just as well as the Vitamix. That's right folks, a blender for 11th of the price of a Vitamix.
Hamilton Beach Juicer Machine. 75 rockets. Job done. Cheers! PS line the pulp jar with a plastic grocery bag for easy cleanup. Add the pulp to baked goods, smoothies or compost in your garden.
I plan to vacuum blend watermelon and cucumber soon. Will strain it through a metal sieve. (I have some Alexa's straining bags. They work great. I just don't know where I put them.)
I bought the lid and used your coupon code, Thank YOU! I am confused about how to blend and keep liquids from sucking up the 3 holes. I tried blending a melon. The melon was not that flavorfull so I wanted to blend it and run it thru a bag. ( I thought it would concentrate the flavor). I had the blendtec wild side half full. I pulsed it untill it was some what blended and put it on to a steady blend and it was sloshing up and getting on the lid. How are you to blend and not have thing get sucked up in the pump??? Thanks John for your informative and valuable videos. They have helped me in making the purchases of my 2 Omegas, the Void lid and my upcoming purchase of the NamaJ2.
I've been reviewing his reviews for over 4 years now his knowledge of juicing is beyond expectations he is definitely The best expert but I will share this when I vacuum carrots and beets and add a few distilled ice cubes
John, With the J2, why not just take the pulp that was extracted and stir and mix it back into the juice just made. I'm not missing all the good stuff for the smoothie.
Thank you for your very extensive video comparison. I was going to buy the Omega because I have the horizontal Omega 8600. I love that thing. But I don't have time to cut these veggies!!! I decided to purchase the Nama J2 and I am grateful for your discount code, it saved me a bit of coin. The additional savings allowed me to also buy the sorbet attachment. I am excited to get back into juicing. I appreciate your content and time.
