The Best We've Ever Owned.

published

The Optimum 9200A 2nd Generation is without doubt the best blender we have ever owned. It makes perfect smoothies, nut milks, nut butters and more. After owning a very disappointing Nutribullet that used to leak while blending & was jet engine loud, the 9200A is solid & quiet while being extremely powerful and fast. We love the push button speed & timer settings. Overall we are delighted & couldn't recommend it more highly to any prospective purchaser.

Total Love Affair!

published

I am absolutely IN LOVE with my Blender. The kids are tired of hearing me say it but I just can't stop.
I have never before chosen to spend so much time in the kitchen, making all sorts of smoothies, slices, soups and anything else that catches my fancy in the recipe book. Every opportunity I have I am trying something new and I really HATE to cook so I am surprising myself.
For someone who's not a whizz in the kitchen, it's easy to use - I am comfortable using it to crush ice, blend nuts, etc. without fear of the motor burning out because it has an automatic cut off. And, it's super easy to clean. I also like that the jug is not glass. It's love!

Happy blending!

published

Totally happy with this product. Will blend anything, is built to last and has a huge capacity. The beaker is easily-cleaned... just run for a few seconds with water, then rinse under the tap and drain. The cord coils up neatly underneath and is retained, but then is easy to pull out and use. This device is all the advertising says it is, and there's a superb little recipe book as well.

Money well spent. Never needing another blending again

published

Mom has a vitamix and I was keen to get one for myself. However after doing some research, Optimum came up as an equally good blender. It's so much more affordable, and the blending power and quality are just as fabulous! It's easy to use and clean up. Making nut milks have never been easier! I've no qualms in recommending this product to anyone needing a blender.

Everything the Optimum 9200A claims to do, it can do. A good looking reliable piece of machinery that impresses. I haven't yet come across anything this blender can't tackle and my baby has seen a lot. From fibrous kale stems to nuts, all were blended nicely into a smooth consistency. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase and am enjoying the home made love and the positive direction it steers you in to create and enjoy food.

Never Had A Blender That Comes Close, Worth Every $$

published

What can I say about this blender? Or what can't I say? I've had it for a year now and it's brilliant! I've never had anything that comes close and well worth the money! It helps me make the quickest and easiest breakfast smoothies every morning and it hasn't missed a beat. Sure, it sounds like a jet taking off but it does its thing in less than a minute. I can throw anything in it and it will do its job with ease. I've even made marzipan in it! If anyone is second guessing themselves on whether to spend the money, just do it. You won't regret it.

This is the best blender! Don't spend double on a different machine

published

The reason I bought the Optimum 9200A was because I wanted the best blender around - I didn't want to buy a cheapie only to have it struggle just like my old blender, so I did a LOT of research, comparing brands, reading reviews - and this blender hit the mark! Why pay double for one that has "the brand name" and that's the only difference! The 9200A makes my green smoothies completely smooth (and that's no small feat!) and it can tackle frozen banana ice cream, chia pudding, nut butters, soups, you name it. It is so fast and easy to use, so easy to clean, it's sturdy and you can definitely tell it's a quality machine. I use it every day - you won't regret buying it!

My Research Paid Off, Best Blender On The Market.

published

Spent quite a bit of time researching the various high end blenders to invest in. Came across multiple reviews of the Optimum 9200A 2nd Gen, with a range of raving reviews from pros, greenies and home-cooks. Watching a youtube video showing how it can crush stones into dust was the winner for me. Best price was on froothie.com.au and delivery was swift. The blender itself is perfect. We use 2-3 times daily and have been very surprised at the quality of juices & smoothies it produces. Highly recommend.

Our Optimum Blender has changed our lives!

published

Having been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia I decided to heal myself using Food as my medicine. As a single mum who runs a business, I was always 'too busy'. But our Optimum 9200A has made our food prep very quick & easy.
My 10 year old daughter makes us both a smoothie for breakfast (she begs to use it) & it's easy for her.
I make salad dressings, warm raw soups, cashew cream cheese, raw pad Thai sauce etc etc.
We love it, it has changed our lives!
We love our new food choices!
Thank you Optimum! We are so so so happy!
& after 8 weeks, I am 100% pain free!
Many many thanks!
Anne

My first blender and so far very good

published

This is my first blender so cannot compare with other blenders in the market. But what I can say is that it is doing a great job at what I want it to do - crushing whatever I threw in to it into perfect smoothies, from things as soft as water melon to as hard as broccoli.
The jug is very easy to clean - just rinse with water and a gentle wipe.
Using it almost every day.

I reviewed the Optimum 9200A Vortex Blender

published

The Optimum 9200A Vortex Blender is hands down the best blender I have ever used! With so much power from this machine, I have absolutely no issues making any smoothie I please. I have been experimenting with various ingredients since I bought it and have so many favourites. My best smoothie at the moment has got to be a banana, peanut weigh protein smoothie with lots of ice. I have mixed it up with different protein flavours, peanut brands and milks/almond milk, etc. The most impressive part of the blender for me is definitely its versatility.

I cannot live without my Optimum 9200A!!!

published

I love, love, love my new Optimum 9200A. My old 'blender' used to leave lumps of stuff in my smoothies but not anymore. Everything I have made (including adding nuts to my smoothies) is totally drinkable through a straw - first time, every time. In the beginning I had a problem with my machine and the team at Froothie were fantastic, in dealing with my issue in a prompt and satisfactory manner. So far I have just made smoothies. I am really looking forward to expanding my repertoire of recipes.

Great build quality and performance.

published

I am extremely happy with my purchase. Even having purchased a refurbished unit, it is obvious that this machine will last and perform exceptionally well for many more years to come. I anticipate it will far out live even the ten year warranty. And always a bonus to to buy and support locally made products.

Slow juicing.

published

My Optimum 9200A (2nd gen) is fantastic. I can now add spinach and leafy greens to my juices, which was something I couldn't do before on my old fast model.
It's easy to assemble/wash up and we are having fun mixing up both soft and hard fruit/vegetable combinations.
My daughter is finding it easy to use to boost up her vitamin content on her vegan diet.

Questions & Answers

Cheryl

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

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 :)

Hi,

Where can I buy it from in Auckland?
I want to see how noisy it is compared to a nutri ninja that we want to replace.

A quick google search and you can buy the Optimum in NZ from here: https://www.nzhealthstore.co.nz/shop/SHOP+BY+BRAND/Froothie/The+Optimum+9200.html

Optimum Appliances

Hey Arno, you can buy it on www.froothie.co.nz :) Our blenders come with a 30 day free trial, allowing you to use the item yourself and in the unlikely event that you are unhappy with the machine you could opt to send it back for a full refund. Here a comparison to the Nutri Ninja: https://www.froothie.com.au/optimum-8200-vs-nutri-ninja-comparison-review
The Optimum 9200A has about 80dB

Hope that helps :)
