Fundamentally a good juicer.
I am very pleased with my 600M juicer. It is the first slow press juicer I have owned. I am able to juice just about anything and gives a very good yield. I juice plenty of celery and I find if I cut the stalks into approximately 3cm lengths it juices just fine with just a little pulp getting into the juice. The only problem I have experienced is the smaller side of the pulp outlet does seem to choke up quite readily but the larger side keeps going! I juice just about everything including pineapple with the skin on! Being a small machine, one d...Read more
oes have to cut the produce first, obviously. Even sweet potatoes go through! Alternate soft with hard veggies or fruit and all is well. I have had good comms with Francois and all in all I am very pleased with the juicer. I juice most days at least once a day. Looking forward to receiving the homogenising blank as my machine was one of the first and did not have one included. Juicing has also helped me shed 10 kg since Xmas. For a small machine I think it does very well. Iain.Purchased in November 2021 for $359.00.

Hi, a quick update. I received the homogenising blank from Froothie, thanks guys! This is a great accessory and really works very well. I place the seal into the pulp discharge port just enough to sea... Read more
l the gap, in other words, not fully pushed home. Assemble the machine with the blank instead of the strainer and I’m ready to go. Have not experimented too much, but one thing I do love is a sorbet made from frozen bananas and blueberries. I chop the banana into 20mm pieces, sprinkle over a little ground cinnamon and drop it through, mixing the banana and berries as you go. The result is, I think, a lovely healthy after dinner pudding. Drizzle over a little honey and it’s great. I will try make some nut butter next. Great machine, does everything I need. Thanks.

Good product poor service
Juicer ok but Froothie advertised product and received payments knowing product was not available, waited 8 weeks. I would not recommend purchasing products from froothie they need investigating by ACCC .
Purchased in February 2021 for $263.00.

An Absolute Disgrace!
My complaints are the same as the poor customers below! We ordered our 600m juicer over the Christmas break… we paid and assumed our juicer would arrive in 3-5 days (as per the shipping details on the website).
Sadly, this was not the case!! We were advised a few days after purchasing that there was a delay with an estimated arrival date as late January, then late January rolled around and yet another email advising that there were more delays and that Froothie were making ‘changes to the product for a better juicing experience and they were d...Read more
eveloping a new ice cream/sorbet strainer' and that we would receive a free Zense Personal Aromatherapy Diffuser for the delay (which we didn't actually receive). The next email was to advise us of the new shipment date in February… a few more false promises and yet another delivery date of March AND an offer of a free ab blaster or $40 refund for the delay - we opted for the $40 off (which we actually never received). Finally… our juicer landed on our doorstep on April 8th 2022 (over 4 months after we ordered it). To be honest, we were pretty annoyed about the entire experience but happy it arrived... because a bunch of customers had started talking through social media thinking we might have been scammed so the fact that it was here was a relief. Now… to the juicing… which is actually why I here!! Firstly, this ‘new and improved’ juicer is NOTHING like the one advertised or the one on the Froothie TV commercial with Zane!!! With the old juicer you were supposed to be able to juice whole fruits - Zane even remarks ‘no cutting required’ as she was juicing an ENTIRE apple. Well… our 'new' juicer can barely handle one strawberry let alone an entire apple!! This machine requires us to cut everything into tiny pieces and even then it still jams up! It cant handle apple cut up into 10 pieces let alone leafy greens such as celery, spinach or anything else. If the chute isn’t blocking up the machine is jamming!!!Purchased in January 2021 for $292.00.

Plastic parts keep breaking
I use this juicer on daily basis for nearly 5 years now, only for juicing vegetables. I make about three glasses a day from carrots, greens, beetroot, cucumber etc. Whilst I am satisfied with the quality of the juice, I don't think that it matches some other brands in this price range that I have tried- i.e. the juice is not as smooth and as thick as it could be. My biggest remark, however, is that when you are using it on regular basis plastic parts just don't cope, even though I do cut veggies into quite small pieces. I have basically replace...Read more
d the whole plastic body now and some of the individual parts (the strainer, the bowl) few times already. It is adding up to be an expensive juicer, but more than that, I hate the fact that I am adding plastic to the landfill. Also, the motor broke around 4 year mark and whilst it was ( still is) under warranty and I do appreciate quick local service that I got through Froothie, I 'm finding it all to be a lot of hustle. My regret is that I didn't look into buying a stainless steel juicer to begin with.Purchased in November 2021 for $280.00.

The best juicer I've had
I purchased this juicer to follow The Gerson Therapy after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. I juice several times a day, mainly green smoothies and also huge amounts of carrot and apple juice, though I've tried most things in this machine. I just love this juicer. I've never had any issues with jamming and the best part is how very easy it is to clean. I simply run the parts under hot water and it's done. It is very quick and easy to put back together also which is necessary when using the juicer so often each day. It has definitely had a work out and is still after this time, going strong. I 100% recommend.

Outstanding Juicer!!!
I've had this juicer for 3 years now where It's been an excellent durable juicer! It has a strong quality feel to it compare to most juicers that feel like they are cheap and been built in China. I'm able to juice anything where it doesn't get jammed unless you put 2 much in at once. You can always reverse it which fixes the problem. Cleaning time is about 2-3 minutes where there are about 6 pieces to clean. Most of it just washes out with hot water with little use of the brush which you only use for 2 pieces.
After a couple of years, I not...Read more
iced the loose vegetable can cause it to get stuck where I had to return it once cause it got jammed. Customer service is excellent!! They also advised me to rotate soft, hard, soft vegetables/fruit to avoid it getting jammed again. This has resolved the problem hence why this unit loses 1 starI Apart from that, I highly recommend this juicer!1 comment

Wonderful Juicer!
I've had my juicer for about 2 months, and use it every day. Great tasting juice, great volume, love the way it pours out of the chute! I make all the juice for the day, and store it in glass bottles in the fridge. I juice ginger & apple to start the day; celery; sweet potato; carrots - I found I had to chop carrots smaller, but it takes great chunks of pineapple - with skin on - whole peeled oranges; beetroot; great almond milk - the almond pulp can be dried in a slow oven, used over salads, porridge, soups - any number of things. The wide nec...Read more
k means much less chopping than other juicers. I make banana and berry sorbets; hummus. It's quiet and quick, & easy to clean - once I discovered the grey rubber plug at the base of the container - but if anything were to get stuck, a wooden sate stick frees it up. The Optimum 600 is neat and compact, and exceeded all my expectations - except for the 'recipe book' which has a strange font so I find it hard to read the recipe titles - plus there's no tips and tricks, no recipes for anything other than juice - sorbets, hummus, for instance. Also, I haven't been able to make good smoothies in it. But apart from that, it's a great machine, and makes great juice, with very little pulp waste, which I then compost.

Great Design Motor just needs more power or needs to be brushless.
If you want great tasting, clean juice from a machine that doesn't take a lot of effort to clean then look no further. As far as domestic, household juicers go it would be right at the top of the list and I've used quite a few brands. A nice quiet motor on a machine that rings out the last drop of juice from your produce. It would be truly commercial if it had a brushless motor. NICE!!!!!

Cautious optimism
Many things promise the world and then turn out to be bitterly disappointing. So I must admit I was cautious but optimistic when replacing my old juicer with an Optimum 600 (3rd generation). However, I’m glad the optimism won the battle as this juicer, which I have had for a couple of months, has exceeded my expectations. At about half the price of my old juicer which I have used for about 10 years and supposed to be the bees knees, juice making is so much easier without the chopping, pushing and clogging and the result is excellent covering a ...Read more
very wide range of fruit and vegetables. Although some people complain that cleaning is difficult, I have found it quite easy in only a minute or two as I have a hose with pistol grip nozzle on my verandah and pulp hoses off easily with occasional light brushing.

Optimum 600 3rd Generation juicer the best there is.
The Froothie Optimum 600 3rd generation cold press juicer is the best buy in juicers you can invest in. The juice is pressed and the flavour is better that eating a piece of fruit. There is less pulp waste so you get more of the vitamins from the fruit. My wife and I use the machine daily and it is very easy to clean and is very quiet compared to centrifuge juicers that destroy the flavour and make more mess and waste. We are so happy we tell everyone about the Froothie Optimum 600 cold press juicer. I wish more cafes and juicer shops would use...Read more
the Froothie Optimum 600 cold press juicer. It makes sense to give the customer a better flavoured juice and save money by achieving more juice from the fruit with less waste. With the ease of cleaning, the down time of a machine would be less. Froothie also give you recipes for many type of juice combinations. So you can’t go wrong in making a great juice.1 comment

Great juicer
Very easy to use. I find if I give it all a quick rinse before I start, then cleaning is very easy, nothing sticks to the plastic. I use it for all manner of vegetables and fruit. Would only use for 5 mins a day or every few days. Quiet running. The machine won't start unless the top section has been twisted fully into place, I am guessing for safety reasons. Once I use it though, I find it very difficult to twist the two sections apart to clean. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make this easier? It will soon get to the stage where I will not be able to get the top part off, and won't be able to use it anymore, which would be very disappointing. Thank you.

I'm a juicer convert
Fantastic juicer, demolishes everything I throw in. As soon as I'm done I clean it, a rinse works for almost every piece and it's done in 3 minutes! Powerful enough to chew through beetroot yet gets every drop from oranges and pears. So glad I bought this one, it's easy to use and store, compact, streams of healthy juice and fun to watch.

Fantastic, wish I had brought it earlier.
Love it, spent some six months researching juicers before deciding on this one. I like to buy quality for the money I spend and I am sure I have done so. I have fun making all types of juices usually with anything I can find in the fridge or what is growing locally and as I live in the Far North there is a great range of tropical fruits and vegies to select from to make a fantastic tasting juices. I am also getting my wife interested in drinking fresh juice with my concoctions, and yes it is easy enough to clean up. I made more mess before with my manual juicer.

Great juicer and amazing support
My husband and I watch a documentary about the health benefits of juicing. This lead us to do some research on the internet and we found the Optimum juicer. We ordered as they were have a fabulous special and it arrived really quickly - even more amazing as it was delivered to Tassie. It makes great juice and is really easy to clean. We had an issue with a small crack appearing it a bit of the juicer. An email to the amazing support staff and a replacement part was on its way. Again delivered in lighting fast time to Tassie. And the support staff were incredible.

Sturdy and Reliable
I have switched to the Optimum 600 after years being loyal to another brand and continually having performance and quality issues. The Optimum can handle a large volume of produce and extracts plenty of juice. After 3 months I have to say this is the best juicer I have ever owned. My only criticism would be the drain valve is quite flimsy and mine has fallen off while cleaning, the cracked hinge makes it now impossible to seal.

Juicing Just got Easier
I am on a health protocol requires me to drink 500mls of fresh celery juice every morning. I was using a friction juicer and the whole process was messy, noisy and labour intensive. I invested in the Froothie Optimum 600 just before Christmas. It is amazing. It's much quieter, much higher yields of juice and easy to clean. It works best with smaller pieces of celery so I cut as I juice. I can't go back to my old juicer and I can recommend this juicer to everyone.

We highly recommend this juicer. It's a slow-juicer yet the chute is so large, you hardly have to chop thing! Carrots and small-medium apples go down whole which makes juicing so much faster. It's not loud and it's easy to clean. Fantastic juicer - wouldn't use anything else. Very happy.

Fabulously Amazing
The quantity of juce is much more than I expected and I am very happy. The machine is remarkably quiet, much quieter than I initially anticipated. There are a couple of crevices that are a bit tricky to clean and I use a different brush to what came with the machine. I don't use it during winter months but during the warmer weather it sits on the kitchen bench 24/7 and cops a pummeling. Excellent product and highly recommend anyone to purchase one.

Questions & Answers
Graceasked
Have had this juicer for a couple of months now, and it was producing beautifully smooth juice up until a week ago. It now comes out quite textured and pulpy. I have not made any changes in my juicing routine and use the same fruits and vegetables everyday. Can this be solved?
No 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!
