The Front End

The cost of a juicer is nothing compared to the cost of the produce you put through it over the life of the machine. The superior juicing ability and efficiency of the Oscar Vital Max 900 will pay for itself in the early months of operation.

The History of the Oscar Juicer

Invented in Korea by Mr Kim, the Oscar juicer was the original single gear juicer. Compact, easy to clean, very efficient and creating a fibre free juice, the Oscar was a significant evolution from the expensive, large and messy processors available.

When introduced some 10 years ago to Australia by Vitality 4 Life, the Oscar juicer represented a huge leap forward in making an enzyme rich living juice accessible to more people.

Several companies copied the early Oscar design and these machines have flooded the International market place. Some of these brands have falsely claimed to be the new model Oscar or Oscar’s new name and many customers have purchased these brands believing they were buying an Oscar.

These brands are much more profitable because they are less expensive to manufacture. They use cheaper components or engineering methods that both Oscar and Vitality 4 life find unacceptable.

Did you buy the juicer with the most profit or the juicer with the most value?

If you purchased one of these brands and were told it was an Oscar or made in the same factory as Oscar, you may have consumer rights and should contact the consumer regulation authorities in your area.

The only way Oscar and Vitality 4 Life could combat these events was to do what they do best and build a better juicer. The result is the Oscar Vital Max 900.

While other brands are offering a cheap imitation of the original Oscar design from over a decade ago, the Oscar Vital Max 900 is better than ever.

Vitality 4 Life maintains an active role in the development of the Oscar juicers. Below, on a recent trip to Korea, Roger Akins founder of Vitality 4 Life with Mr Kim from the Oscar factory assessing the latest design improvements to the newly released Commercial Oscar 930 Pro…
