I have not heard a lot good about the Jack LaLanne juicer. The primary factors [IMO] when it comes to juicers, are as follows:
1. Easy to clean
2. Easy to use
3. Lots of juice (dry pulp)
4. Durability
The only way you are going to get lots of juice and dry pulp is to have a high powered motor. Most of the juicers I checked out were 800 and sometimes 1000. I suspect the Omega 1000 is 1000w, but you can check it out if considering it.
The juicer I use is the
Breville Juice Extractor. This guy has 5 speeds and a 1200 watt motor. It is really easy to clean and gives very dry pulp. I use mine daily with no issues. I watch people on Facebook buy a lower quality juicer all the time. Same results: broken after a couple months, or like someone said today, unable to juice broccoli or cabbage. All it takes it power.
I recommend the Breville with no reservations.

Don't do this. Make enough juice to drink at the time. The longer you store your juice the more the nutrients diminish. Get a good juicer.
I can clean the veggies/fruit, juice and clean up in less than 20 minutes, so it is worth your while to not scrimp on this appliance.
