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.

We use this blender everyday for a multitude of things, starts with the breakfast smoothy, silky smooth nut butters and ends the day with a dairy free ice- cream with all frozen fruits and minimal liquids. The machines power is beyond comparison to any other "bullett" machines out there. Its quick, efficient and just as important- easy to clean!.

We use this almost everyday. We make smoothies, sauces, nut butters, smoothies and desserts. The smoothies are really smooth, even with seeds in there. It is easy clean and now has a permanent place on our bench. I would highly recommend the Optimum 8200. We tried other brands but they did not hold up.

It's been about 6 months since I purchased the the Optimum 8200 blender and I still use it everyday for smoothies (that are actually smooth) and yummy meals and desserts. It is quick, powerful, easy to clean and use and best of all blends up the toughest raw veggies without leaving chunky bits! Super happy with my decision to purchase other models- have recommended to family and friends.

Absolutely pulverises all those super healthy but no so tasty vegetables and perfectly fuses them with fruits, nuts and seeds to make super smooth, healthy and delicious super smoothies. All the important and working parts are made of steel meaning this super blender will easily outlast the competition. Easy to clean and easily find a place in the kitchen.

I have been using the optimum for over half a year nearly everyday. It still works as if I bought it yesterday. It blends ice on its own very well, there are no large chunks of ice. It also blends vegetables like carrots, kale, spinach finely. I am glad I did my research and bought the optimum instead of other blenders.

I've had my optimum 8200 for about 12 months and use it daily. Still blends super smooth and I've had no issues with it. It has much larger capacity than its competitors, so is great for making soups and smoothies for a few people. Only area for improvement would be the visual design, the base is quite bulky and dated (no doubt to provide all the power that it has) but I still would rate it much higher than my previous blenders.

A high performing blender made with quality materials. Powerful enough to handle any tough ingredient and blending to perfect consistency every time. The timed options are a handy function and no clogging or stoppages show the quality of this blender and its design. Excellent performance and a huge presence in the kitchen. A must have in any kitchen, with the Optimum 8200 you can't go wrong!

From breakfast to dinner and snacks in between, my Optimum 8200 gives me a boost by releasing all the nutrients I need. Without my Optimum my diet would be very restricted as a result of a Gastorectomy five years ago. Instead of picking and choosing foods I can eat, my Optimum makes them all available.

We have been thinking about getting an Optimum blender for some time and we finally did. The only regret is we didn't buy one sooner. It makes the perfect smoothies and we have managed to make some super smooth peanut butter in it too. The long warranty is what helped us make our decision but the main plus is the speed and power of the blender compared to others. We had some initial issues with the style of jug we received (we thought it came with the slimmer jug not the square one) but communication with us about this was prompt and helpful. We have recommended this and the 9400 to friends who have purchased and are also happy. We highly recommend!

Easy to use, super fast at doing its thing, saves heaps of time. Mum loves it- $300 well spent she reckons.
Smoothies are actually smooth. the sorbets are so yum. Chutneys are made in minutes.
Staff are great to deal with they delivered a missing milk bag within 2 days. This is great for making cocktails too,
awesome bar tending tool. crushes ice in seconds and the 2 L jar is a great size.

I was tired of my old blender not coping with a lot of the ingredients I wanted to use. After a lot of research I decided on the Optimum 8200 and I'm in love with it. It has become the most used appliance in my kitchen. It's got me feeling healthy already!

Very powerful, good quality - 1000 times better than any other blender I've had. It has however had to bu returned for a sparking issue, and for leaking through the base of the jug.
The lid design could be improved, however, as liquid often leaks out. Could also do with a facelift, as it looks like is was designed in the 50s.
Overall, a bloody good, solid unit that I would recommend to others more readily if the spent a bit more on R&D.

I bought the Optimum 8200 after having had 2 other blenders that didn't cost as much but as you may guess didn't last either. In the end I was fed up with blenders that either got food stuck in places that couldn't be cleaned or whose blending capabilities meant my green smoothie better resembled my vegetable garden than a drink. I have had the Optimum 8200 for 3 months now and love it, it blends beautifully, is quiet and is easy to clean. My green smoothies, are as the name suggests they should be - smooth. I wish I had bought this blender two blenders ago.

We couldnt be happier with our Optimum 8200. We use it every morning to make fresh delicious smoothies and often in the evening to help with cooking. Fast, efficient, and powerful, and best of all - easy to clean! Can't recommend highly enough! I am thinking of buying one for my parents for christmas!

With three of us making healthy smoothies -sometimes twice a day- the competition didn't make the grade, dying abruptly after seven months. The 8200 is robust and reliable. Thanks for a great alternative that does what it says! The reset switch is a bonus too! Highly recommend the unit. Fabulous.
