I am very happy with my purchase.
I did a lot of research before I purchased this machine and I have to say it has paid off! I am very happy with the performance and the results. It took me about 2 weeks to really work it out and use it well. I am on a veggie juice diet where I have juices for breakfast and lunch and this is the best machine so far I have used. There is one issue where the poker stick thingy has split, but hopefully I can get that replaced quickly.

By far the best all rounder.
My partner and I both bought blenders at the same time (we don't live together!) after deciding to go on a health kick, and so have been able to compare the two since day one. We'd been house sitting and fallen in love with a Thermomix, although weren't sure on the financial investment. I did a hell of a lot of research and Optimum definitely seemed to be the best possible alternative to the Thermomix. My partner went with a slightly cheaper brand, and I cannot emphasize how much I've found the Optimum to be worth the extra money! And still SO ...Read more
much cheaper than the Thermomix! The consistency of smoothies and soups are much better, it's much quicker to blend (35 seconds!), and the noise that the Optimum 9200A makes is substantially lower than the competitor we bought. Plus it looks classier, so I'm much happier to show it off on the bench. Easier to clean as well - couldn't be happier :)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I'm very impressed!
I've had my Optimum for a couple of months and I'm more and more impressed each time I use it. I use it for a whole range of things, including nut milk, nut butter, lots of smoothies, cashew cheese, ground nuts and flour. It always does a great job, everything comes out smooth and even in texture. It's fast and efficient and it even does most of the jobs I used to do in my food processor. The self cleaning actually works really well, too!

Using it everyday.
Since it arrived our house, it's working for us everyday. Blend everything smoothly, quite impressive with ice crush.
Would be great if it comes with a 1 person size cup or jug, the 2L jug is bit too big if I just want to make one smoothies for myself. White one looks nice, but the plastic panel looks bit cheap. Timer setting very piratical.

Fantastic Blender!
This vortex blender is fantastic! Easy to clean, chops, blends, purees perfectly. Recently I mistakenly purchased teff seeds rather than flour - no problem with my Optimum 9200A as I just tipped them in the jug and a few seconds later, I had flour! I make my own nut meals, flours and the best thing - instant, healthy ice cream! Great customer service and at half the price of a Vitamix - it is fabulous value for money as well. My family and I use this blender every day and find it easy to use & clean, and, it looks great on the bench so it never goes away!

All in one!
Love my new blender, i had my doubts about a blender being able to do nut flour... but it has no problem doing them. It does everything! I use it every day.

I use it for everything!
- cleans itself.
- chops up veggies for soups and sauces & chops up fruit for bircher muesli.
- makes excellent textured smoothies in under 10 seconds.
- makes nut milks, nut butters and creams, and the tamper enables a thick consistency because more liqud doesn't have to be added to make the contents mix.
- Simple/nice looking and thus stays up on the bench.
- It is quieter than my old, less powerful blender.

More thank just a smoothie maker
I originally bought this blender as I make a lot of smoothies and wanted to upgrade my personal blender. I have found so many more uses for it and it seems to get used on a daily basis. It's great for making hummus, pesto and quick pasta sauces that require zero chopping. I also use it to make homemade coconut/almond milk without any of the added ingredients in store bought brands. I chose the 9200A over the 9400 because I loved the timer function - I switch it on and walk away. So quick, powerful and simple. Very easy to clean. I love this product.

Completely happy with my Froothie
Completely happy with my Froothie 9200. I like having the set times which means I can walk away and leave the machine. I found an imperfection in the the base of my container when it first arrived and the company sent me replacement straight away. Fantastic service. The end product is always so smooth and finely blended, so much better than the Magic Bullet that my friend has. I recommend the Froothie to all my friends.

Lost 6kg in 14 days of Froothies
The most delicious way to have a nutritious raw food diet. Adding a few ice cubes turn any fruit or vege into an amazingly smooth slushy. Now breakfasts are fast and easy even on the run. My Optimum 9200A proudly sits on my bench and is a source of topic when friends pop by. Love it!

Best ever blender
This blender is amazing, I wake up every morning and am able to make my smoothie in under 30 seconds in this machine. It blends everything up super fast and smooth. We have also made different kind of marinades and sauces in it. Very versatile and easy to use. Doesn't take up much space on my counter top. Easy to clean.

My favourite appliance of all times!
After killing over 5 Breville blenders with my daily kale smoothies, I decided I really needed to spend a bit of extra money for a high quality blender that could handle my kale! Originally I was going to buy the vitamix which I have heard about for a long time but in the process actually found this little gem. I did some research to compare the two and found that this one was actually better and half the price!
I absolutely love my Optimum blender - it is a beast! When I used to make smoothies with my Breville blender I would have to blend ...Read more
for 2 minute rest for a few then repeat 3 times. Now with my high powered Optimum I put it on the 45 seconds setting and the smoothie is already 10 times smoother than doing the 10 minute process with the Breville. Sometimes I may put it on for an extra 20 seconds if my kale is extra stubborn that day. But WOW what a difference. The smoothie actually tastes so much better too because the blender completely blends everything into the tiniest particles completely into liquid whereas the Breville would always have lumps and chunks and definitely not liquify the smoothie. I love my smoothies so much more now. I have a smoothie everyday and this awesome machine handles it with a breeze. There was one time I actually put a bit extra kale in and pushed it down too hard as it was starting up and it cut out. But I just push the button at the bottom and it was ready to go again. This is the best money I have ever spent on an appliance. I highly recommend it. And it has 5 year warranty so you don't have to worry about it breaking.Similar opinion?

Just Awesome, my new best friend!
The blender arrived nicely boxed from Froothie after their very friendly speedy service. Totally the best appliance I have bought and it came with a special lifetime warranty. The very powerful, quick action blends fruit and vegetables to the smoothest beautiful drink ever! This is a dream to have in the kitchen and totally awesome for breakfast drinks. Blends nuts in seconds to a perfect grind. I am so Happy.

Exceeding Expectation On Every Front
We were using one of those blender products advertised on TV for about 12 months till it died a quick death - Blast! As a health conscious family, we have smoothies at least twice a day incorporating fresh fruit, vegetables, natural nuts and grains and proteins.
After some research, reading reviews and exploring the product support (recipes and services) I settled on the Optimum 9200A next generation blender as the best option for our family.
Its features were impressive, from a high powered motor (way beyond the previous machine we ...Read more
had that struggled and died after just 12months) to the 'vortex' blending system (not from a Dr Who episode but actually how the blades systematically blend contents to break it down into its components) to the extensive online and printed recipes and support - this blender has it all. Now I'm just as sceptical as the next consumer who has been duped by dodgy products - however, from the get-go this company and product have been outstanding. Emails are replied to within just a few hours (sometimes sooner), the product arrives within a few days, any questions are addressed professionally - I was most impressed. Many companies can learn a lot from the after-sales service that this company provides. However, the icing on this review is that the Optimum 2000A Blender actually exceeds performance expectations - it does a damn good job and more creating the smoothest smoothies and the best recipe ingredients for my protein balls with ginger or the myriad of other scrumptious foods. My advice to anyone else out there who like me wants an outstanding blender - do yourself a favour and buy this one! My expectations have been exceeded and my above comments are based upon my experience having this product for about 2 weeks of constant use. In my opinion - this is an 'Aussie Company Taking On The World'!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Everything Perfect
This is simply the best, so happy that I did the right choice choosing Optimum. I make mainly smoothies nearly everyday and like the power of the blender does all the jobs very well in less than a minute. Will recommend this to everyone.

I'm so happy with my purchase, great value for such an awesome blender, makes the smoothest smoothies and soups as well as nut milks and butters, is such a versatile machine, I have been using it most days. Very easy to clean and gets the job done so quickly. Love the timers/automatic functions, just press and let it do its thing whilst you do something else! Would definitely recommend.

Which of your vortex blenders have removable blades? I'm really fussy about cleaning properly which is why I never considered a Vitamix.

Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hey Cheryl, you can remove the blades from the jug on all our blenders except for the Evolve. However, the Evolve has an automatic cleaning function so you won't have to remove the blades at all for proper cleaning. Have a look here: https://youtu.be/4ql5cMs6zAM
Hope that helps :)
