I vote for the Champion juicer too. It’s about $200 and will last a long time. I still use it every year for my passover horseradish. In the 1980’s I was on a carrot juice fast and was borrowing a friends centrifugal type Omega. When she needed it back is when I bought my Champion. I was halfway through a 50 lb. bag of carrots when I changed machines.
The juice yield with the Champion was way more, and of a richer, sweeter, and darker quality. Under really heavy use 50 lb./wk for a year and a half, the motor did wear out and was an easy home replacement.
I recommend using California carrots and chill them very thoroughly before juicing.

This juicer is awesome! You can juice whole fruits! I love to combine carrots, apples, and ginger. It is very easy to use, has a quiet motor, and you get a lot of juice. You can even use the pulp that is collected and use it to make muffins.
The only downsize is that you have to clean the machine right away. I guess I would rather deal with that and be able to control the ingredients in my juice.
