Omega Mega Mouth Vertical Juicer
The Omega MMV700S juicer operates at 60 revolutions per minute and is very similar in design to the Kuvings C7000 juicer. It even includes an identical cleaning tool, same 10 year warranty and same spin speed.
While running on 60 revolutions per minute and a single auger, Megamouth vertical low-speed juicer prevents heat buildup and delays oxidation.

You can use this Omega vertical slow juicer to make baby food, nut milk, fruit juice, celery juice, nut butter, wheatgrass juice, citrus juice, vegetable juice, and leafy greens juice.
There are many similarities between the Omega mega mouth juicer and the Kuvings C7000 juicer. Take a look at the comparative image below and you will see the juicers are very similar in design and include many of the same attachments. Both offer a 10 year warranty (whereas Omega usually offer 15 years, but not for the mega mouth juicer).
Both juicers also offer spare parts and are also very similar in price. If you were looking at purchasing the Omega mega mouth juicer and it was unavailable the Kuvings c7000 is virtually identical.
