Ninja juicer at Walmart

I ended up giving my Omega juicer to my sister and I want to buy a new one. I’m at Walmart. I see this newer ninja model JC150. I recall ninja made a different model a couple years ago. I was just wondering what the consensus is on the quality of this ninja juicer and if consumers are happy with this newer Ninja model JC150. And if anything how that would compare with my old omega juicer

If the box says JC150, you’re looking at Ninja’s NeverClog cold-press line (slow/auger style, not a centrifugal spinner).

What the “consensus” looks like on the Ninja JC150 / NeverClog line

Overall consumer happiness: generally positive for the price, but not “Omega-level” heavy-duty.

• Walmart’s listing for the JC150 shows it sitting around 4.1/5 (based on the current review count shown on the product page).
• The same NeverClog family at other big retailers has higher averages with much larger review volume (example: Best Buy shows ~4.5/5 on the NeverClog listing they carry).
• Independent testing outlets have rated the NeverClog model as a strong value, calling out good juice quality and the reverse function helping manage clogs—while dinging it for the narrow chute and cleanup friction typical of mesh-filter juicers.

JC150 vs “the newer one” you remember Ninja having

You’re remembering right: Ninja has had multiple cold-press models. The JC150 is NeverClog, and there’s also JC151, which is essentially the same concept with larger included containers (Ninja’s own pages list JC150 with an 18 oz jug / 30 oz pulp container, while JC151 is shown with larger sizes).

The biggest practical difference vs your old Omega

Without knowing your exact Omega model, most people’s “Omega” is one of the horizontal masticating Nutrition Center-style machines (J8006 / NC800 family). If that was yours, here’s the real talk:

Omega strengths (why it feels “better”):

• Durability + long warranty is a big part of the Omega value proposition (Omega commonly advertises 15-year limited warranties on popular models).
• Typically a more “workhorse” design for frequent juicing and tougher routines (lots of celery/greens, daily use).

Ninja JC150 strengths (why people buy it anyway):

• Much cheaper, compact, and designed to be “good enough” for most home juicing.
• 1-year warranty (so it’s not positioned as a decades-long appliance like Omega tends to be).
• Convenient features: pulp control filters + reverse + dishwasher-safe juice-contact parts are a big draw for normal users.

My “standing in Walmart right now” recommendation

Buy the Ninja JC150 if:

• You juice a few times a week (or you’re restarting the habit).
• You mostly do fruits + basic veg blends.
• You’re okay with pre-cutting because the feed chute is narrow (common cold-press reality), and you accept the 1-year warranty.

Buy another Omega instead if:

• You were juicing a lot before and you want that same “tank” feel again.
• You care about long-term reliability / warranty and heavy use is likely.

Quick aisle check (30 seconds)

1. Look at your routine: are you realistically juicing daily again, or is this a “get back into it” purchase? (If “get back into it,” Ninja is the smarter buy.)
2. Check the warranty line on the box/label (should be 1 year for JC150).
3. If Walmart also has JC151 for close to the same price, it may be worth grabbing for the bigger containers alone.

If you tell me what your old Omega model was (usually printed on the front/bottom like J8006 / NC800 / NC900 / VSJ843), I’ll compare that exact machine to the JC150 in a no-BS way (yield, greens, cleanup, and what you’ll miss).
