Perfect blender, good value, what more can you ask for?

published

I remember coming across this blender a few months back while searching for an upgrade. I am very glad I didn't go with the other big brands and decided to go with Optimum. Optimum 8200 is an amazing blender that will make you perfect smoothies. The only downside I would say is that the jug is quite small. My previous blender had a 2L jug but this one iso only 1.5. That being said, you can buy the one that's one level above this one, but that'll cost you a bit more.

Overall, I think this blender is amazing and will make you perfectly smooth smoothies. It blends frozen fruits fine and will make you feel better than ever.

Optimum 8200 virgin no more!

published

This was my first try at a blender and I chose the Optimum 8200 after reading reviews on Choice. I bought it because I wanted to juice fruit and vegetables without the waste and I just-love-it! I am not exaggerating when I say that I have lost 2.5kgs in the 3 weeks I have had it without barely trying. I have a fruit/protein/rice milk smoothie in the morning and make sure my dinner includes a vegetable smoothie (very filling! ). I also make my own raw date/cacao/nut bliss balls thanks to the Optimum 8200. When people compliment me on my weight loss I talk about this blender!

Can't Beat It

published

The 8200 is unbeatable. Have not found any food to date that this machine could not handle and I have tried a lot. Mostly health drinks that have garlic tumeric celery carrot beetroot...these are tough veg.. Love that you can time a blend too. Super easy to clean. The best investment I ever made. :)

Sensational!!!

published

When I read about this blender before buying it, for the price, it seemed too good to be true. I've now had it for almost 6 months and it has definitely lived up to all its claims + more! Very versatile and easy to use. I've used it almost daily for smoothies, dips, soups, peanut butter, flours etc... The best purchase I have made this year.

A small investment-But a Brlliant, Professional Blender!

published

My wife was suckered in by all the hype about the nutritional benefits of blasting food to extract all the nutritional benefits! However to do this "magic" the machines advertised were just not in the same league as the Optimum 8200! The quality, power, capacity and value, all faded into insignificance. I bought it, and 6 months later she had lost 20kgs, and we have found so many new and exiting ways to create meals for the family! I would recommend to everyone, do your research, information is free, making a bad uninformed decission makes no sense!

So glad I chose the Optimum 8200

published

It took no time after ordering my Optimum 8200 from Froothie for it to be delivered to my door, wonderful friendly service. Being a newbie to blending I started with baby steps, found the 0ptimum 8200 so easy to operate plus having super power which easily munches up and blends beautifully anything I thrown into it, now our house is smoothie central, started by using the helpful recipe book which Froothie supplied and now just love experimenting with different flavour combinations. The Optimum 8200 is so versatile it does so much more than just smoothies, roll on summer when I'll be making my own ice cream and next winter no more can soups for this family.

Everything I wanted in a blender

published

I was torn between this and two other brand blenders, urged by my friend to get this due to it's stainless steel parts I went for it. I am so glad I did!! It is my favourite piece of equipment in my kitchen. I have been making smoothies every day, it blends kale and frozen bananas smoothly. Also perfect for pesto and hummus, takes no time to make such things. It has different settings and I can honestly say the lowest setting is so powerful I have never had to use the others. It makes minimum noise. I would recommend this over and over again!

But wait there's more!

published

Bought the 8200 as I killed my nutribullet ... couldn't take the heat. The 8200 just keeps on giving. Blends the smoothest smoothies. Carrot dip is no problem. Fresh peanut butter - smooth or crunchy. Crushed ice for those drinks or a slushie. You name it this machine ploughs through it all. And the cut off timer makes it so easy to blend while you prepare the glass!

Great Investment!

published

I've had my blender for about 6 months & I love it!
I mainly use it to make smoothies and I find it to be very powerful and doesn't have a problem blending frozen bananas. It's great that it comes with a prodding stick which comes in handy when making banana icecream.
I think the price is very reasonable when you compare it to other blenders on the market when you compare the power, warranty period & the quality.

Better than the Vitamix!!!

published

Purchased the Optimum as a temporary measure whilst moving state, Vitamix was put into storage, have now been using the Optimum for couple of months and I love the quality and efficiency of this product. Does all the things it's supposed to with an advantage over Vitamix in that, you can pre-set your time function and you don't have to worry you're overusing your machine like I also do with Vitamix - The Optimum for me has now moved into my first blender of choice! And now recommend this to my family and friends over the Vitamix.

The best blender I ever had

published

I bought my Optimum 8200 a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It saves me so much time! Things that I used to do in small batches because the blades of my previous blender couldn't cope I now do in 5 minutes in one go. Excellent value for money!

Love my Optimum 8200 Blender!

published

I've been using my Optimum 8200 blender for over 6 months now and I am still crazy for it!!! My juices and smoothies are of such a high and professional quality ... and ... so quick and easy to make ... and ... simple to clean up after. I'm getting more of my calories delivered this way and the health benefits are really showing. It's also great for soups and it's a quick, easy and healthy meal on the run.

The customer service from the Froothie team is outstanding with same-day despatch and personalized service. Also, the recipe booklets are a great source of inspiration.

OK, confession, I have also used my Optimum 8200 for cocktails and I've gotta tell you it makes a mean Margarita!

Aussie Made- Great Price - Sensational blending

published

I have been blown away by the value for money that the 8200 provides. The Aussie product does all it claims. I even blitzed an avocado pip smoothie last week. Amazing! I have been raving about it to family and friends who are smoothie interested but swayed by cheaper products on TV promotions. Time to spread the word that a well priced Aussie product cuts the mustard (seed that is).

Can not recommend this blender enough!

published

I purchased this blender when I found out I was pregnant with the aim of getting all the essential nutrients the baby needs. It came down to either the nurtri bullet or the Optimum 8200. After reading all the bad reviews of the nutri bullet I am so glad I paid that little bit more and invested in the quality of the Optimum 8200. I can not recommend this blender enough to anyone thinking of purchasing a blender. Anything you can think it blends in seconds.
Every day I know i am getting a healthy start for me and my developing baby.

Very happy with this blender

published

I researched for ages trying to find a blender which offered the right balance of quality and price. I love my Optimum and use it every day. It blends everything I throw at it including hard vegetables such as beetroot and carrots without any problem. I have had it for nearly a year and it shows no sign of wear and tear. it is easy to clean and simple to use.
It can be a little loud at maximum speed but so are most blenders.
Would definitely recommend.

Blendiferous!!!

published

It would be the most used appliance in our kitchen so It is the only one that is never put away. I did a comparison with the nutri bullet and others and it was a no brainer which way to go. Smoothies galore, my favorite is celery, parsley, baby spinach, carrot, beetroot, apple, a great liver tonic. Absolutely no regrets buying the OPTIMUM 8200

Have Never Looked Back

published

I originally bought this blender for making green shakes but it has now become my goto machine in the kitchen for omelettes, milkshakes for the kids, soups, dips and any crushing or blending of nuts and ice. Easy to clean, and powerful motor and blades makes using this blender is a breeze.

Nearly bought the Ninja... lucky i didn't

published

I was in the market for a blender as id started on smoothies for breakfast. I didn't do too much research and had nearly settled on the Ninja blender. However after reading reviews and speaking to the excellent customer service at Froothie I soon realised that the Optimum 8200 would be a much smarter choice. The reviews stacked up and the product certainly lived up to its reputation. Its a great little unit, never had any issues, smashes through everything i give it and I'm loving the smoothies I'm creating. Can highly recommend it.

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
