So versatile and convenient

published

Whether you want to make a healthy pick-me-up in the morning, a fruit smoothy at lunchtime or a homemade pesto sauce to go with your dinner in the evening, the Optimum 8200 does the lot....all in less then one minute! Unlike other appliances which usually get forgotten in the cupboard once the novelty wears off, our Optimum 8200 after a few months still conveniently sits on our kitchen bench and gets used everyday, sometimes 3 times a day. What's more washing up is a breeze, just rinse the jug and wash the lid and it is ready to go again.Worth every cent!

An absolute game changer

published

I was all set to buy another brand but research brought up the Optimum range. Originally going to use it only for smoothies, but quickly found many other uses. Now being used up to five times daily! It replaces at least 2 other kitchen appliances. And the smoothie is just soooooo smooth. Half the price of Vitamix, and other cheaper brands are left in the dust, er, lumpy drinks. And that powerful motor - wow!

Very pleased with my purchase

published

I've had my blender for a year now and it's still going great. I love how how well it works, how easy it is to clean and that I can purchase spare parts for it (I stupidly stuck the plunger stick into the jug with the lid off and I needed to get another one).

The staff are knowledgable, helpful and very prompt with responding to queries - this definitely didn't come with the other products I considered before my purchase last year.

If there was anything I'd do different, is I wish I got the smaller jug, which would have been more than enough (from memory, I think it was actually recommended at the order page).

Definitely happy with my decision to purchase the Optimum 8200.

Best blender ever!

published

I bought this blender some time ago and it is hands down the best blender I have ever had. Priced quite well for what it actually delivers. I mainly use it for smoothies but there is a whole lot more that you can do in it. The motor is very powerful and the rugged construction literally makes you feel the solid quality. Absolutely recommend this, do not even think about wasting your money elsewhere. Go ahead and buy one now!

Brilliant Optimum

published

I have had the Optimum 8200 for approximately two weeks and we love it. My husband does most of the cooking and he is enjoying the ease in making pumpkin soups and vegetable smoothies. We made a batch of chicken rissoles as per the recipe book provided and they were fantastic. I have used it for my morning fruit smoothie and to grind nuts. The motor is extremely powerful.

Love it.

published

Yep, I'm another happy customer. I did toss and turn as to whether to get the more powerful blend but this one is plenty for our needs. I love how powerful it is and also how easy it is to clean. With my old blender, I use to dread having to clean it as the blades needed to be taken out and then the whole thing reassembled. Well done Froothie! I leave mine on the bench and use it often. I feel like I have my own Juice Bar at home.

A great home blender

published

I wasn't sure about the price tag but now I have used the blender for blending raw ingredients, making soup, smoothies and juices, i am sold. it's pretty cool, takes a bit to mix the items at times but i suspect some of that is user error somewhat! It can be a bit noisy, but in general we are really happy with it and find ourselves making more things from scratch.

Definitely the best on the market in its class...

published

I did my research and this baby was the winner in every aspect by far. To cut a long story short, my opinion is that you get commercial quality for domestic pricing. There are around 12 similar products out there and none come even close to matching the Optimum. It's been around a year since my purchase and I feel very satisfied with my decision still. Highly recommended...

Green Smoothie Everyday

Beautiful powerful blender machine that I ever have. Smooth anything that I put in. Making yummy smoothies for the whole family. It's just a bit noisy. Crush ice and cut through any fruit that I put in. Blend all the vegetable perfectly even my kids love green juice and smoothies.

Money well spent!

published

I own two of these well performing machines. One being the 9400 which I originally purchased for the family home, and the second purchase being the 8200. I decided to buy a second machine as I am working away a lot and didn't want to miss out on having my perfectly blended smoothies for breakfast. The 8200 is a perfect addition to our household being lighter than the 9400 it is wonderful to take on away trips but does not lack in power one bit. Another great feature is that you can pay a little more and get the bigger 1.5L jug which is perfectly compatible with this machine. I am very very happy with the Optimum products and I will continue to recommend them to many people.

Very easy to use-great-really can't live without it!

I love my optimun high speed blender! Can fit so much more then my old nutribullet and does just as good as a job! It is so easy to rinse clean aftetr use. It seems is a lot stronger them my old nutribullet that barely lasted a year. But i use my optimum over our more times a day and still good as new after about a year.

Love, love, love this blender!

published

This blender is amazing. I use it everyday for smoothies, dips & sauces. It's great for grinding flour, sugar and coffee. It also makes great soups, by heating the mixture with the friction of the blades, keeping more nutrition in the food. Price is much better than a vitamix! I highly recommend this product to anyone who eats clean and fresh.

The best blender ever!

published

I was looking for a powerful blender to make smoothies and a Colleague at work recommended the Froothie. It is by far the best blender I have used. It blends nuts, fruits and ice cubes to a smooth consistently. It is easy to clean and doesn't make too much noise. It even comes with a recipe book. For anyone looking for a really good blender I would definitely recommend the Froothie. I love it.

Simply an Excellent Machine

published

A well made machine that just blows away the opposition.I spent several weeks researching and reviewing most machines on the market and the 8200 ended up ticking all the boxes. I use it 5 days a week and mainly for vegetable blending. Also makes superb smoothies. I have had it for almost 12 months and it's still as good as new.

Questions & Answers

Adrian and Tina

Adrian and Tinaasked

Hi there,
We are currently in the market for a new blender and can't decide between the 8200 and the 9200A. Besides the motor size, is there any great difference? We plan on using it for nut milks, banana nicecream, smoothies, nut butters and raw soups. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Adrian and Tina

How well does this work for making nut butter?

It turned up very smooth! I never knew peanut butter or almond butter don’t need to add the butter in it. It’s kind of enjoying to watch nut turns into the butter.

What is the difference between the 8200 2L jug and the 9200a 2L jug?

I have a 9200a machine but for $60 less I could potentially buy the 8200 jug to replace my 9200 jug.

Hi. I don’t have the 9200 so you would be best to get an answer directly from Froothie about that question.

Hello Emmi, I think you are referring to the old version jug for the 8200 and the newest jug version :) You can contact our warranty support team here: https://athenasolutions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
