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

published

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!!!

published

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!

published

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.

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.

Love my optimum 8200!

published

Have been looking for a blender for quite some time and then I found the optimum 8200. Best investment I have made, makes the best smoothies, soup and ice cream in the world. Not only did I get my much wanted blender, I got more, healthy smoothies, soups and ice creams are a breeze, cleans up is easy and my waistline has begun shrinking WOO HOO! Thank you for prompt, delivery and an excellent product I have been recommending to anyone who will listen.

Well designed, rugged blender that does the job

published

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!!!

published

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.

This blender is the business!

published

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

published

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 :)

After doing lots of Research on various blenders we finally bought Optimum 8200. It's been almost five months that we've been using it. So happy we bought this product. Professionally built, well-designed and solid parts. Easy to use, easy to clean and serves the purpose. No regrets at all. Great value for money.

It has inspired my creativity and improved my health!

published

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!

published

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

published

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 :)

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.

Optimum Appliances

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
