The Omega VRT350 is a proven vertical masticating juicer that has accumulated over 1,500 ratings since its release, pointing to years of consistent user trust. At $199.87, it offers Omega's build quality at a mid-range price, though the modest 150W motor means leafy greens and dense produce will need patience.
Home juicers who want a compact vertical slow juicer from a reputable brand and prioritize quiet operation and juice quality over speed.
Skip if

Overview
['The VRT350 runs at 150 watts with 2 speed settings, which keeps noise low and heat minimal during the cold-press process. The stainless steel auger and juice bowl help it feel durable compared to all-plastic competitors in this price range.', 'At 18 lb, this is not a lightweight machine. It stays firmly on the counter during operation, but moving it in and out of a cabinet regularly will get old. The vertical design does keep the footprint tighter than horizontal models, which helps in smaller kitchens.', 'Omega is a well-established juicer brand with a long service history, and the VRT350 has been around long enough that replacement parts and support are available. The 4.3 rating across 1,500 reviews reflects genuine long-term satisfaction rather than a spike of early enthusiasm.']
Performance notes
The 150W motor runs at a slow masticating speed suited for soft to medium-hard produce. With 2 speeds, you can adjust for watery fruits versus harder vegetables. The stainless steel construction on both the auger and bowl surfaces should resist staining and odor absorption over time. At 110 volts, it works on standard US outlets without any adapter.
What buyers say
With 1,500 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, the VRT350 has a well-established track record. This kind of sustained rating across a large review pool suggests the machine holds up in everyday use. Occasional complaints in the broader slow-juicer category typically center on cleaning time, which is common to all masticating juicers regardless of brand.
Is the Omega VRT350 good for juicing leafy greens like spinach and kale?
The VRT350 can process leafy greens, though the 150W motor means you may need to feed them slowly and alternate with harder produce to keep the auger moving efficiently. Rolling leaves into a tight bundle before feeding them through tends to help. For heavy wheatgrass use, a horizontal single-auger juicer with a dedicated blank screen would be a better fit.
How does the VRT350 compare to horizontal Omega models?
Vertical models like the VRT350 have a smaller counter footprint and are often easier to load, since produce drops in from the top. Horizontal models typically handle nut butters, pasta, and baby food in addition to juice, making them more versatile multi-purpose machines. If you want strictly juice with minimal counter space, the vertical design works well. If you want a multi-function unit, look at horizontal models in the J8000 series.
What is the warranty on the Omega VRT350?
Omega typically covers their masticating juicers with a multi-year warranty on the motor and parts, but exact terms should be confirmed directly with Omega or the seller at the time of purchase, as warranty coverage can vary by retailer and model year.
