Very happy with my Optimum 600M Cold Press Juicer
I received my Optimum 600M two days ago. I was aware it was compact from the reviews that I read but when I opened it, it was even more compact that I thought. It was easy to setup. It was also easy to clean and to continuously juice without having to take the juicer apart as all the fibre comes out externally into a 600ml cup provided. I juiced carrots, apples, celery, beetroot, capsicum, broccoli, kale, zucchini and bitter melon. I ended up cutting the beetroot into approximately 2cm sized pieces as I initially fed a large piece Into the juic...Read more
er and it was too large to move. I cut the rest of the fruit and vegetables into bigger sizes which the juicer coped well with. I emptied all the fibre into resealable bags to freeze as I will find ways to cook them up, e.g. incorporate the fibre into a Zucchini slice etc. I am actually VERY happy with this cold pressed juicer. My 5 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the mixture of vegetable and fruit juice we made. We also froze some into silicon icypole moulds.Purchased in April 2021 at Froothie for $274.00.

Problem after problem with this company
Firstly, it took months of chasing to receive my order. When the juicer finally arrived it stopped working on the second use. I was asked to send it back for a repair. The Froothie rep who sold me the juicer said it can juice celery. It can’t. It also can’t handle carrot or hard veggies. If you try it will jam and turn of your circuit breaker. This is safety issue. After several months of minimal use the juicer stopped working a second time. Froothie demanded I pay to send the unit back to them and said I would be refunded if the damage fell un...Read more
der warranty. I asked for a refund as per advice from the ACCC if I have a fully item. Froothie ignored my request for a refund and sent the unit back to me. I keep emailing and messaging them. They respond asking for more information and then go silent. I can’t get them to respond at all. Terrible customer service. I’m now out of pocket for the shipping cost for the faulty juicer repair and I’m stuck with a juicer that I should have been refunded. Avoid this company at all costs. They do not honour their warranty and have terrible customer service.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

It's only okay
I've used my 600M for about a month now. And I juice celery daily. I prep the celery by cutting it up into smallish pieces so the fibre isn't a problem.
There are positives worth noting - small footprint, low noise, cleaning is easy enough.
Overall, I find this juicer disappointing.
There is a little learning curve to juicing so the machine doesn't just stop and then refuse to go again after a break.
There is too much pulp in the juice. There is so much pulp that it's hard to call it a juice. I have to strain the juice every time. Not happy with that.

This juicer doesn't work
It jams every time I try and add celery to my juice. It doens't work and the company won't offer me a refund. I've used it 5 times. Do not invest in this juicer. It's also very hard to clean.

Small foot print & easy to use
I love my 600M juicer!!
I have previously had a hurom and can confidently say that I feel I am getting the same amount of quality and performance for half the price.
I bought this for myself for Christmas 2022 to set myself up for an amazing new decade and it has been easy to stick to the plan.
My juices typically have lemon, lime and ginger along with a mix of whatever is on hand. I have successfully juiced the following:
Carrot, sweet potato, honey dew, spinach, basil, mint, parsley, (I “wrap” my herbs in the spinach or lettuce) lettuce, zuc...Read more

My Optimum 600 BIg-Mouth juicer is the BEST!
Being an experienced juicer, having owned about 3 pervious Juicers over the years, I can say without hesitation that the Optimum 600 Big-Mouth juicer is the BEST!
Three days a week I make juice, mainly veges, from beetroot, carrots, celery, sprouts, ginger, lemons, freshly picked dandelion leaves and parsley; sometimes an apple or two.
As I buy 99% organic, and the veges are easy to prepare, this doesn't take up alot of my time.
Because of the 'Big-Mouth' on this juicer, the hard items like carrots and beetroot take very little cutting up. Th...Read more

A Companion to Froothie's Older Blender
We bought the Optimum 600M Compact Cold Press Juicer about seven months ago. We are using it in conjunction with an older Optimum model (2012) which has worked well for seven years and is still going strong. The 600M is compact and easy to use, especially for harder fruit and vegs (not celery, which is too stringy for it). The juice comes out delicious and I use the pulp as well for things like a quiche filling, so nothing is wasted. Cleaning the container takes a little time, but no major problem.

Super juicer with small footprint
I purchased this juicer because of the dimensions, which is ideal if you have a small amount of space and potentially for when travelling. I find it does a great job with high yield juice. One needs to chop the fruits and veggies in smaller chunks particularly celery due to the small mouth design. Otherwise, very happy with the amount of juice. It is easy to clean, assemble, and disassemble. Occasionally, food chunks do get caught and not juiced if too small a size. I'm still trying to find the optimum (no pun intended) size of pieces to add.

It serves me very well like the Genie out of a bottle
Cold press juicer that delivers and is reliable. Amongst other juicing recipes I make the Don Tolman signature juice Cabala, hence the reason I acquired this juicer. A mix of fruits and vegetable which is made up of hard and soft fruits with pips. As I am a believer in whole foods, this product satisfies my lifestyle. I follow the instructions and it is very forgiving. I have used this juicer since March 2015 and it is still going. The small footprint and ease of use and cleaning are added bonus. A product that does what it says, does say a lot for itself.

very disappointing
After watching the video of the older model I was very excited about receiving this juicer....3 weeks to get it was disappointing to begin with, then it's nothing like the older model that looks very efficient. First use is disappointing most of the pulp gets stuck in the machine meaning lots of pulling apart and cleaning after each juice. Then it stops and nothing just stops wait 10 minutes for it to start again not even a full glass of juice. Emailed for support...nothing! I rang for support to be told I'd recieve an email within 5 minutes....nothing. 5 days later still nothing and I'm chasing them! really disappointed in this machine the older version looks much much better.

th Optimum 600. The 600M is a more compact juicer with is lighter, about half the price, yields more juice with less pulp than the original 600 and ANY OTHER JUICER ON THE MARKET. One of the shortfalls with all big mouth vertical juicers is the amount of pulp, and this includes Kuvings and Optimum. The way to solve this is a small mouth like the 600 (which again has less pulp and yields more juice than any other juicer) or a horizontal big mouth juicer like the H3000 (new model available on our website)The handling of this complaint has been exceptional, thank you. The juicer that I have received in replacement of this one is of the highest quality and brilliant performance. I'm now confident of pu... Read more

Easy to use and easy to clean juicer!
So we have had this juicer now for 7 months, we received it in March 2022. We absolutely love it!! Our 4 year old son helps us with juicing, that's how easy it is to use. The best aspects of the juicer is a few things, such as, you don't need to skin your fruits and veggies, orange skins, apple skins, cucumber skins, you name it, it goes into the juicer and you get even more juice! The machine really squeezes all the juices out of it, plus, the non-juiced bits are your worms best friends!! We put our remains straight into our worm farm. Juic...Read more
ing does not take too long at all, you can easily make 1 ltr of juice in several minutes, plus, the cleaning of the juicer is pretty easy! You get a brush so you can brush the inside to clean, and it comes out looking new. I also love how the clear plastic doesn't stain with juice colours, ours is still as clear as the day we received it from the box. The machine also isn't that loud, if you have a sleeping toddler (like we do at times) you can still do some juicing without waking them, your washing machine would be louder than the juicer. We've never had another juicer so we can't compare, but we certainly are not looking at replacing this juicer anytime soon, we give it a 11 out of 10! We absolutely love it.Purchased in January 2021 at Froothie for $250.00.

This is a great compact juicer. Doesn't take up too much room on the bench top and does a great job. Just for the record, I especially bought it to do a celery detox and I juice celery every day without a problem.

Not the best.
After waiting for about 4 weeks for delivery, the juicer is very disappointing. They show video for the older larger version which look much better than this unit. The reviews are the same. Everything has to be cut very small to get it into the mouth and if you use cucumber or zucchini it blocks and the juice stays inside the unit. You then need a more fibrous vegetable to push out the pulp and help the juice flow. Cleaning is more difficult than other juicers I've had. OK to make small amounts but not suitable if you want to do a days supply. I'll be returning it and getting a larger one.

Makes making cold-pressed juice for the family so easy and we know we are getting all that goodness from our fruits and vegetables. This was a deciding factor for buying this product. Leftover matter is always dry. We use ours for pineapple, watermon, kale, carrot, ginger, tumeric, oranges, apples.

Not suitable for Celery Juice
Not able to process celery leaves or thin stalks. Found the pulp builds up between the outside wall and strainer. Within a few days of using it, the motor was smelling hot, then completely stopped and tripped our Electricity circuit. [name removed] from Froothie, Athena Solutions was very understanding and he was great to discuss this issue with. I promptly returned the machine and received a full refund which was very much appreciated. I found Froothie to be a very good company to deal with.

his month, I will post the link here as soon as it is added to YouTube. You will see the 600M not only juice a REALLY large quantity of celery juice, but also outperform with ease other juicers 3x the price. And the result: Less pulp and more juice from celery! You can even hear our manager surprised and excited to see the significantly higher than expected performance of the 600M with celery :-)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Warning, I don't think this product really exists, feel like we might have been scammed!
I purchased this product last week expecting we would receive the juicer a few days later as we're in Melbourne. After waiting several days and not hearing anything from Froothie we looked further into the reviews, it seems like people who ordered months ago still haven't received this juicer! There is no mention on their website that they don't have stock anywhere! My husband then looked further into the listing and found there are no real photos of this Opimum 600M anywhere, all the pictures are just rendered drawings !!! So he rang Froothie,...Read more
the person who answered didn't really seem to know what was going on, he promised to have management forward the 'real photos' via email to us, but no emails have been forwarded. We asked when the juicer would be sent out, there was a vague date in the future given for when the juicer might be in stock and might be sent out..... but nothing confirmed and we have not heard anything from them since. This is really incredible, how can they be selling a product they don't even have without stating on their store that's it not in stock? My bigger concern now is that the juicer isn't even real, and we have been tricked into handing over money. After a search online we found there are heaps of ACCC and consumer affairs complaints about this company's unethical behaviour, and now I see why, wish I had know this before spending our money here! To be honest I think we were fooled by the glowing reviews for them, looking at them now they actually read more like advertisements then reviews, maybe they're put there themselves. I would not advise purchasing from this mob.Purchased in May 2021 for $298.00.

Questions & Answers
The Wozasked
Hello do you have a juicer for wheatgrass?
1 answer
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello The Woz,
definitely we do :)
Where the H3000 2nd Gen has the advantages it:
1. It has the wider chute so you can juice bigger fruits without cutting (Like whole apples)
2. It has the vacuum function which basically means you can store your fresh juice and it'll keep fresh for longer. (It's quite a noticeable difference actually)
You can see a bit more about vacuum sealing the juice in our article here about the VAC2 Blender. It also uses vacuum sealing for the juices and smoothies:
https://smarterfitter.com/froothie-optimum-vac2-air-vacuum-blender-review/
3. It has a built-in warming function for things like baby food.
4. It also has pulp control, so you can decide how you like your juice :)
Here are some videos where you can see the H3000 2nd Gen in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTb7_4ZZ7dE&list=PL1dicojIF63peEIOIbhzdY0UmijHkcwiN
Where the 600M wins in:
1. It's more compact, so easier to have on your kitchen bench
2. It's better for juicing leafy greens and celery
So it really depends on what you're looking to use it for :)
I hope this helps!
3. The 600M actually yields more juice, about 10%-20% more than the major brands on the market, including centrifugal.
Here is the 600M in action: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1dicojIF63p2u7kSit4yM-LOo_e_VJti
It's also a few $ cheaper!
Here is a detailed overview about the specifications:
600M: 40-45 rpm, 200 watts, 3.8 x 4.8cm chute size, 34 x 17 x 36.5 cm (LxHxW), weight: 3,56kg
600Pro: 70 rpm, 300 watts, 7.6cm chute size, 40cm x 40cm x 21cm (HxLxW), weight: 3.5kg
No matter which juicer you choose they are both amazing juicers :)
And don’t forget we offer an unconditional 30-day money-back-guarantee
I hope this helps :) If there's anything else I can help out with please let me know!
