Optimum Juice for Little Effort.
Had this juicer for 8months now still going strong. It's so quiet. Great amount of juice, very dry pulp the animals or compost love if I don't use It. So easy to clean. Does clog occasionally if I use fibrous veggies like ginger, but easy to rectify and keep going! Wouldn't be without it.

So Easy!
This juices just about anything and is easy to use and clean. Because the juice is cold pressed a Sunday juice run of several varieties lasts most of the week.

Love my Optimum 400.
Finally, a product that provides the benefits of slow juicing without the phenomenal price tag! I was amazed to see how efficient it is at extracting with minimal wastage. I would most definitely recommend and buy again.

Best friend juicer :)
This little juicer is all that I wanted and more.
With little space in my kitchen it fits nicely on the bench as is easy to clean and store.
Juices are sublime and all made in a short amount of time.
At such a reasonable cost
without it I would be lost!

Broke within1 week of purchase
1) Juicer broke after three uses
2) After some troubleshooting, the machine was sent without all functioning parts.
3) Contacted Customer Support via chat and the "helpful hints" they provided were the same as found in owners manual. That may have been helpful had I not already informed them I had consulted owner's manual and tried troubleshooting per instructions. Finally, I was sent contact details for warranty/repair department.
4) The warranty department only communicates by email as to have record of conversation. that's fine but you h...Read more

Great product!
Have had this juicer for a month now. I was a bit daunted initially as it looked a bit complicated to put together but if you follow the instructions it is easy. The components are marked with a dot to align everything and then it just works.
And how it works too!
Despite the relatively small chute compared to the Optimum 600 it can take quarters of apples no problem and half an orange fits in too. I chop everything up into pieces about the size of your thumb and so far have had only one jam. It was quickly fixed by using the reverse func...Read more
tion. Some may think the chopping takes too much time but I find I can chop all I need in a minute or so. It then takes about a minute or so to juice it all. That's for 1 orange, 3 apples, 2 carrots, half a lemon and 3 pears. Some have said it is not so good with celery but if you chop the celery into small 2 cm chunks it chews them up fine. The pulp chute is the key. If that is pumping out pulp all is good. The pulp itself is pretty dry so a lot of the juice is extracted. As an experiment I ran the pulp back through the machine but not too much more juice was extracted. I don't bother now and use the pulp for compost or if it contains veges that can be used in a vegetable lasagne I use it that way. Haven't tried to make tofu or anything like that but you get a gadget to help you do it. As for cleaning, they give you a toothbrush thingy to clean out the left over pulp. I once left it for a little while before I pulled it apart for a clean. Bad idea. The pulp can dry out and stick remarkably quickly. I wont do that again. If cleaned straight away it doesn't take long.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

NEW YEAR, HEALTHY START
Wow, I am super impressed with my Juicer, easy to use and operate. I cannot believe how quiet it is. A great size also as it doesn't take up much room on my bench so I am able to leave it out, as I can see this being my most used appliance.

Best juicer ever!
The optimum 400 has to be the best juicer ever! I used to has a normal juicer which was not at all the best in juicing. The Optimum 400 hardly wastes any fruit or vegetables. and whats left over you can use in baking!! awesome juicer!

Love Love Love My Juicer!
As you can tell by my title - I am pretty happy with my juicer. I think its the best thing in my kitchen! It now has pride of place on my bench and I've been juicing every day. I can't believe how quiet it is and it just eats everything and turns it into exceptionally yummy juice. It's really sturdy and hardly takes up any space - which is great because our kitchen is tiny. I was worried about the cleaning but its a breeze as well. Very easy to clean, take apart and put back together. Very very happy with my purchase. Seriously best buy this year!

My favorite thing in my kitchen
This is by far the favorite appliance in my kitchen! Not just by me but by my partner and even our friends that come to visit! This juicer enables me not only to enjoy a cafe quality fresh juice everyday but allows me to eat more fruits and veggies without having to think about it.
I even make 'veggie chips' out of the left over pulp in the oven!
I have and will continue to recommend this juicer to anyone I see!! :)

Great slow juicer
Definitely the best slow juicer I've used. Tough, hardy. I foolishly tried cheap slow juicers off ebay first Ayon and Mr. Juicy - cheap junk that either broke or just stopped working. The optimum 400 just keeps going - forwards or reverse. It comes with fine or course strainer and tofu maker. If parts gets broken those PARTS can be replaced. Customer service is VERY good. My only complaint really is that it does get clogged up due to small juice hole and have to pull apart to keep juicing. I've accidentally dropped apricot stones in and it kep...Read more
t juicing no problem. When I accidentally broke off the end of a cleaning brush though (pushing food through cause lost the plunger) that wrecked the strainer cause it couldn't crush up its own equipment. But the optimum 400 has stood up to quite a few tests. I'd never get a centrifugal juicer again. My breville centrifugal never clogged up but it was so restricted in what it could actually juice - along with sounding like a jet aircraft taking offSimilar opinion?

Amazing!
I don't think I can ever go back to bottled juice again after receiving my optimum 400. Can not live without a fresh juice everyday now, such a great way to start the day. Also love how easy it is to use and clean.

Quiet and efficient
After my old noisy juicer died I researched and purchased the Optimum 400. Makes great juices and yummy frozen desserts too! Arrived quickly from online order. Easy to assemble and clean. And of course much quieter than my old juicer!

Nice machine
The optimum 400 is a good place to start if new to juicing ( as we were ) looks good and is easy to clean. We compared a lot of different machines and glad we went for this one... The 10 year warranty swayed it for us... Definitely feel the benefit of adding a daily juice to our diet.. Would love a blender now..!!

Hello, we have lost our Optimum 400 Juicer User Manual. I have looked everywhere on the internet and cannot find one to down load and print off. Can you please let me know how to get another copy of the instructions. Cheers Wayne.

Just use this manual, it's for the next model up, but the models are all very similar https://www.froothie.si/Documents/Juicer600_Manual_ONLINE.pdf
Most important thing for me is to cut up everything in 'fruit salad size' pieces, it all goes through the juicer easily then :)
