Nama J2 Review After 42 Days: Is It Worth It?

[@sebastienlinck4908]

Got one for Christmas 2023 and have used it every day since (183 days). It's so worth it!

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Nice! Yeah some people like Nama. It's different when you've owned both juicers and have been testing them for awhile. At first I liked the Nama but after awhile I started to get annoyed by these small quirks and clean up time on the Hurom H400 always felt much faster. Nama's a good pick but I think the H400 has the edge

[@brennancumberbatch1571]

Man, this is what you call a true review... very unbiased, in my opinion.

I have one…I really rough it up with lots of hard veggies for big batches of juices…I use it every week for heavy duty juicing…I LOVE IT

[@desereegonzalez5457]

Yes you are right. Just read an article earlier that said they are manufactured in the same place.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Thanks for your comment :) Yeah I thought that was interesting

[@cleopatrajones2024]

Mine arrived August 8th 2024 and IMMEDIATELY used it and was disappointed because it didn't get as much juice from the veggies as my old school juicer did and I was going to send it back the next day for a refund. I didn't see a big difference BUT my friend suggested that I try again with fresher veggies, so the next morning I went to the grocery store and bought new veggies and only washed the ones I was going to juice right then and OMG, this thing is AMAZING. The trick is to only wash the veggies that you intend to use right then because they will start dehydrating sooner and you won't get no where near as much juice. I used the same amt of veggies that I normally do with my other juicer and I got 1/4 more than normal. The pulp IS TOTALLY dry. The clean up was about the same as the regular juicer. I give this an A+.

Just looked it up and Nama worked with Hurom’s engineers to create their juicer to their specs. Very interesting.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

I thought the same

[@myplaylist2046]

When all else fails, read the instructions! Then you would have known how to put together the juicer! Are you receiving commissions/benefits from the Hurom?

[@LeonardoSummers]

That’s why it’s better to place heavier vegetables on top of leafy greens.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

For sure. You definitely want to layer them for better yield

[@darceyderosa2426]

None of my juicers were hard to clean,even the annoying Nutribullet one!😂

[@lorenacarlson7706]

I just got the Nama j2 about 3 weeks ago, and I really expected something better. 1. it feels chip, and fragil, chip plastic. 2. the pulp, no matter what juice I make, I get pulp when I was expecting much less pulp. The quality of the juice is good, but I have to strain all the time. 3. I bought some accesories, the strainer is a totall ripoff, I have to use my own $1 strainer that works way much better that their price strainer. For the money you pay, it has to be something better out there........ The cleaning time is not that bad, but I have to say, juicing takes time no matter what machine you use and how coniniene it is... I repeat, the quality of the juice is very good (without the pulp)

[@juschill1]

I think most of these juicers will have a pulp residual. I have the Kuvings EVO830 but i may upgrade to the Kuvings AUTO10 Plus. It'll yield more juice for my liking, and I like that it has a stainless-steel blade.

[@dontworrybehappy929]

Interesting how companies who make masticating juicers, always try to call them COLD press juicers. The only true cold press juicers are the commercial ones with the pulp bags. Granted, masticating juicers don't heat up the products like centrifugal juicers, but they try to make us think they're worth $550.

I have a Kogan Cold Press Slow Juicer. The auger is quite long & spiral shaped. Works really well. No issues. At under $ 100-... Love it

[@sprintkitchen9570]

I’m not a fan of the cheap juicers. They break easier and don’t work as well. Plus some of them come from dodgy Chinese factories that might use harmful microplastics. Not worth rolling the dice and risking your health in my opinion

[@barbaradavidson]

question, are you sponsored by Hurom?

[@nimitaw1167]

Well for the heat you have to compare H400 with Nama J2, not H310 which is their travel version. The heat at the base is of the motor, bigger motor means more heat obviously. The heat at the auger is what is compared to centrifugal juicers, that’s where the enzymes are killed due to the heat.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Yup i’ll add that to the list

[@katharinedominguez]

That explains why I cannot find ANY decent reviews on the Omega Effortless Batch Juicer. I would love to see a comparison between the Nama J2 vs Omega Effortless Batch Juicer. I had the Omega Big Mouth Juicer for 15 years until the latch gave out. I also want to be able to juice leafy greens now, too.

[@brandonherring4480]

I want to first off say it was a good video. I am a critical thinker like yourself and I was wondering why everyone was saying all these great things about the Nama and I wanted to find some negatives to see pros and cons. The Nama is one of the few products that is worth the hype. This video confuses me because I feel that after the conclusion of your tests it went against your answer stating it was overhyped. I say that because for one you pointed out that this and Hurom was made by the same manufacturer which was a great observation which shows that they were built pretty similar. So how can as you say the BMW of juicers manufacturer makes one overhyped product (Nama) and the other is nearly perfect (Hurom) with such small differences? In comparison to your Hurom video the Nama runs more quiet, it juices more on certain ingredients according to your scorecard and it isn't too far off on the ingredients in which the Hurom juices better all at a cheaper price. In my opinion by that alone it would make the Hurom overhyped. The thing which you said made the Nama overhyped all came down to preferences which honestly came as a bit of a reach. It came off that way because you mention the temperature was a con but you didn't mention the temperature in your Hurom H400 follow up video so why make it an issue to make the Nama overhyped and one of the cons? Then all the issues you had with your tests it seemed like the Hurom struggled with too for example the issue with the ginger being juiced. To make it simple and plain it all came down to the Nama is not better than the Hurom because it's not easier to clean which is one trade off which price wise you are paying more for that preference. The other cons were more nitpicking like the cap coming off during cleaning. Lasty when I hear the word overhyped I usually think that it is a handful of products better or that a competitor can do what it does for a fraction of the price. The Hurom H400 we are comparing this to is 100 dollars more, no coupon codes like you mention that tons of people who has reviewed the Nama have, you also mentioned that Nama has excellent customer service and a 10 year warranty. If I paid the same amount as the Hurom I can get a bigger hopper for the Nama which is less prep time cutting produce because you can fit a whole pineapple in it. So could you please explain to me what makes purchasing a 100 dollar cheaper device that usually have discount codes, which is made from the same manufacturer of the BMW of juicers, that runs more quiet beating the Hurom H400 in different tests, that is backed up by a 10 year warranty and has excellent customer service overhyped? The Nama hype is real but I do respect your difference of opinion.

[@chevelleflorida]

It actually has a 15 year warranty on all parts. Not sure what made him think that it was only 10 years. Assembly is super easy to me and so is clean-up. The one thing that I agreed with him is regarding the lid but my issue is different. Sometimes, it seems to come off too easily when I lift it to load in more produce. Like the latch is a bit loose. I let Nama know and they promptly sent out a new one.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

That’s fair. Appreciate your comment! It’s ok to have different opinions :)

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Oops yeah made a mistake with that one. I think it used to be 10 and then they changed it

[@Fidi987]

I have seen so many Nama juicer videos on YT - while only looking for juice recipes - and I wonder why such an expensive juicer is made mainly of plastic! Also, I am really wondering at the marketing strategies of some influencers, claiming juicing would otherwise be a hassle and take so long - I use a blender (with a glass pitcher!) that was 70€ some years back. I then strain the "smoothie" through a strainer with the help of a ladle and press the pulp through a nut milk bag. Including cleaning that takes me at most 30 minutes for 1.5 L of juice. This often lasts me for a week. So, what seems to be so difficult and time consuming with affordable juicers? And how often do these buyers actually juice? I juice maybe once a week, every two weeks, but not always. The problem is more the freezer space and glass bottles to store the juice. I mean, I am happy for everyone who can afford a juicer for several hundred euros, but I dislike marketing it as if everything else is inferior, time consuming and frustrating - especially for the people watching to whom a 50 euro juicer is already expensive.

[@GlenB-u6e]

Hey Chief, I think you mean Chef Crafted Recipes. Great review with lots of actionable information…thanks!

[@sprintkitchen9570]

[@setfreemiss]

I thought about getting a Nama because every juicing channel was pushing it...but I decided on a Tribest Dynapro Blender with Alex's Nut milk Bags. I do Vacuum Blending/Juicing and have been very happy with the set up. I do understand that it isn't for everyone. I might get the Hurom some day or possibly the Nama. I don't like how every You Tuber/juicing fanatic is pushing the Nama because they get a percentage of the sales.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Yeah I thought the same thing!

[@mrwbjones]

So, is it safe to say that I'm better off with sticking with my 1st gen Nama juicer, or upgrading to a Hurom altogether?

[@sprintkitchen9570]

It’s on the list

[@icgigi]

You can definitely put the hopper on with the lower pieces engaged, I do it all of the time. I have never had the problem with the lid, the pulp is drier than previous juicers. I didn’t see you actually do any live side by side COMPARISONS. As a Nama owner who did their research BEFORE purchasing , and who’s not an influencer; well let’s just agree to disagree .

Can you add the fruits and veggies whole or do you have to slice or chop them first? The juice I currently have allows me to just add a green apple through it, kale, etc without having to slice or chop them into smaller pieces which is a must-have for me.

I think you have to pack it more. I pack my nama J2 pretty full and nothing ever gets stuck between the blade for me. I got it a year ago. I do not like the way they did the lid either. Also nama J2 is $150 cheaper than the other juicer you mentioned if I looked up the correct one.

[@HeavenlyInspirations]

This review also seems very biased AGAINST Nama. The faults you found are not every day occurrences. I’ve owned the machine a year now and have juiced dozens of times, and have had a great experience every time. Keep in mind that issues can happen because of user error and not the fault of the machine. You mentioned you like to assemble machines without reading the directions. But you wouldn’t want a mechanic fixing your car without knowing what they were doing. As a consumer with real world experience using this product, I feel it is worth the premium price tag. The warranty is 15 years on motor and all parts, so that alone brings peace of mind.

Hi, great review, can you juice the hard stuff in the Nama? like coconut? to make milk and Oil?

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Thanks! Yes you can but you have to be careful and remove all the coconut shells. If you accidentally put it into the Nama J2 it will break the juicing screen. The Hurom H400 doesn’t have a juicing screen so it’s more durable but still I’d be careful with both.

Plus, who juices once orange, or one tiny piece of ginger etc. The weight of ingredients push it all down. Celery…I cut it into about 2” pieces so nothing wraps around. This is a weird review. Nobody just buys something and tries to assemble/use it without reading how. Do you assemble a bbq with a drill, making holes wherever instead of reading what goes where?
