Awesome value, great product!
I use my optimum nearly everyday! Blends my smoothies perfectly- no clumps. Also with a thermomix out of the budget I use regularly to make almond meal, raw slices, almond milk etc. Love It. Looking at getting a juicer next now I know it's a quality brand. Making us a healthier family.

Does everything I want
Very satisfied with the product ... It does was it is supposed to do and it is so easy to clean...the kids love the extra thick smoothies (ice cream almost)!!!
Great for making soups as well, very smooth and keeps all the flavour. The noise is also better than other blenders I have had...all good!!!

Love This Blender!!!
I love my blender!! I make smoothies everyday and this blender has not given me any issues at all. I used thick chunks of frozen fruit and it becomes super smooth! I've tried the vitamin and the results of this blender is the exact same for a fraction of the price!

Love your blender - YES I DO!
I have had a few blenders and food processors in the past and this is the best by far. I make homemade dairy free icecream, green juices, fruit juices, deserts. It effectively is a food processor and blender all in one. I have had no issues with it at all. It is very powerful and light weight. It looks great on the kitchen bench. Well worth the money. If you are into preparing your own healthy foods and drinks then this is a must have.

I love this blender.
Since following a Paleo lifestyle I have needed a good quality blender to make my healthy treats. After much research, the Optimum 8200 was a clear choice for me. It is fantastic and has never let me down. It blends nuts with ease and crushed ice easily. I love it.

Well designed, rugged blender that does the job
I love this blender. It pulverizes anything quickly without any lumps. I used to own a Nutri Ninja but it's plastic locking mechanism kept on breaking (returned 4 Nutri Ninja units before giving up) I then did my research and purchased the optimum 8200. Best decision. Only design change I would recommend is that the alarm at the end of cycle be disabled as you instantly know when the blending is finished by the return to silence.

My favourite friend in the kitchen!!!
Very pleased with the Optimum 8200! It doubles as my blender and food processor. I use it several times a day. It makes eating a plant based whole foods diet simple and easy. First up I blend a morning super smoothie full of dried fruit, nuts and seeds. The Optimum 8200 blends linseeds so fine that they are not grainy at all but lovely and smooth. I grind whole grains into flours for baking, whip up delicious sauces and dressings, chop nuts for bliss balls, blend pastes and nut butters. I even blend up delicious whipped chocolate avocado mouse. The motor handles all of these tasks and if you did happen to overload the blender it has a trip switch so you cannot burn the motor out. So happy with it I recommend it to friends and family.

The Ultimate (Optimum!) Blender!
I've had my Optimum 8200 almost 5 months now. We were originally looking at smaller blenders but after doing a bit of research into blenders in general, I found the smaller blenders to not be up to the standards I expected for my money. I checked out other well-known large blenders too, but when you get to the level of high power, high-speed blenders that the Optimum range is in, things can get expensive very quickly. However, the Optimum range is reasonably priced instead.
I did almost go for the new Optimum 9200A because I wanted to be cer...Read more
tain of getting something that could blend nuts and seeds for my smoothies. Whenever I spoke to the sales-people at Froothie, they were never pushy and always gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. It was through these discussions, and the fact we couldn't really afford too much in our budget, that we took the plunge with the 8200. I could not be happier with the product. It does everything I want it to do and I am always posting on my facebook page about how great it is. For my morning smoothies, I was putting in whole flax seeds, raspberries and other hard to blend things. The Optimum 8200 blends everything so smoothly that you can't even tell there are seeds in there! I even tried using a whole banana, skin and all, in there and it made short work of it. You can literally put an entire apple in, with seeds, and you won't even know the seeds were in there because it smashes the seeds to pieces! I went from missing breakfast daily for 15+ years, to being able to blend up a breakfast smoothie in a few minutes, clean it just as easily and feel great for the whole day. I have recommended the blender to all my friends and family and will continue to be excited about it every day because it is the most amazing blender. I've had family ask me if I am being paid to advertise for Froothie because I am constantly saying how great it is. I bought it at full retail price and have no association with the company other than being a retail customer. I go on and on about it because it genuinely surprises me every time I try something new and it meets (and often exceeds) my expectations!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

just buy it. really. it's that simple.
I took the plunge and now I have told all my friends- just do it.
I'd rather spend money on vegetables and fruit than at the chemist. I swear I've hardly seen the inside of the chemist in the last 12 months. Is it only coincidence that I got my Optimum blender 12 months ago? possibly... but the whole family (3 kids included) have green smoothies nearly every day. We add all sorts of delicious nutritious things that the kids would struggle to eat if it was put on their plate (kale, frozen avocado, flaxseed anyone?) but throw in a frozen banana...Read more

This is the Perfect Blender for Everything in Every Single Way!!
Before buying my Optimum 8200 I researched everywhere on the internet as well as went visiting different retailers to find the perfect blender. Many blenders looked very attractive, and lots of them offered fantastic things to do but after reading the customers reviews I got always disenchanted. When I first saw the Optimum 8200 I thought that it was going to be as all the others...however, I decided to research to find ‘its problems’. But, couldn’t find any!! Adding to that, the price was more than perfect :) and they gave 5 years warranty.

This blender is the business!
I purchased an Optimum 8200 based on a lot of online research and reading of online recommendations. I am starting a cleanse detox diet that calls for 2 liquid meals a day and a good blender is essential. This one is the business! It is way stronger than my old blender and totally liquidizes everything I have put into it to date, which encourages me to use it more, after the lumpy thick liquids I got with my old blender. It is easy to use and even easier to clean. I didn't use my old blender very often because it was so fiddly to clean. It makes it a breeze to stick to my detox diet and am very pleased. I am definitely going to recommend this blender to all my friends.

Great investment
I love this blender. I am very fond of smoothies for breakfast, and this has been a great investment. It blends a green smoothie so there are no green chunks. I love the timer feature so I can put in all the ingredients and then just walk away and come back when it's done. I had a small problem with the rotor and the service team responded really quickly and sent the new part to me straight away. Great service :)

It has inspired my creativity and improved my health!
Never in my life have I bought something with the intention to use it everyday and actually done it! But that has all changed now :)))
Seriously, the optimum 8200 blender has inspired my creativity in the kitchen and improved my health! Mostly it is because it is so easy to use and super easy to clean. People have commented how healthy I look including how clear my skin is and ask what skin products I use then I tell them about this blender and what I put in it.
Its so good I've even used it to serve smoothies for 20 - 30 people at one sitting at yoga retreats with no dramas & tonnes of praise.
Love that it's an Australian company, 5 year warranty & good service. Thanks Froothie for making good health accessible.

Optimum 8200 - Impressive!
I purchased an Optimum 8200 based on a recommendation from a friend. It does the business, while I'm still finding my way and experimenting, the "auto" buttons make it easy. The kids are making fantastic banana smoothies and I use it for vegetable smoothies in the morning. I reckon we use it 5 times a week and love it. Certainly a huge improvement on the old juicer we had, especially cleaning! I have been recommending it to others and will continue to do so. Oh yeah, my wife is retiring our other blenders as this one is way better.

The best blender ever
It's so worth the money! It's definitely not the cheapest but it actually lasts so I saved money in a long run. unlike the ones I got from target, this blender works efficiently and the quality is so much better! I use it twice daily, never had any problems since I have bought it. I'd recommend it to anyone :)

Not all blenders are the same, not all blenders are Optimum!!!!
I spent a whole year with a cheap $25 blender from kmart telling myself all blenders are the same, there is no difference between a cheap one and an expensive one. I powered through lumpy, bumpy and gritty smoothies every morning until one day I couldn't take it anymore! I had a look in a few department stores at their blenders but nothing really appealed to me looks wise so I went back to pretending to enjoy my lumpy gritty smoothies until one glorious day whilst browsing the internet an ad popped up for an Optimum blender. I looked down at my...Read more
poor excuse for a delicious blended beverage and thought "That's it!!!! I've had enough!!" and clicked on the ad. Everything I read about the Optimum blender I was loving, it sounded too good to be true so I read a few reviews and did some google searching. The more I read the more I wanted no, no NEEDED this blender. Once it arrived I opened it up and made my favourite smoothie and it was like nothing I have ever drank before! It was so smooth, creamy and perfect! I was in heaven! I have had my Optimum blender for about 5 months now and I use it every day for so many more things than just smoothies! Its great for soups, protein balls, ice creams, dukkah, making pizza bases and the list goes on! This blender is so impressive even my partner (who is not a breakfast person) has a smoothie every morning! It is easy to clean, the jug is light weight and is much quieter than I expected. If you are looking to upgrade, this is the blender for you!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Questions & Answers
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
