Abbyasked
Hi
We havent used our machine for a while but it looks like the blade has seized inside the jug. Can I just replace the blade or do I need to buy a whole new jug?
Abby
3 answers
Hi Abby,
You're quite right, the bearing seal has failed and allowed liquids into the bearing and so it has seized. This happened to me some time ago and Froothie sent me a new one free of charge. Either way you'll have to contact them for another. Just use the supplied plastic 'spanner' to unscrew the black plastic retainer under the jug. To ensure less chance of this happening again I never leave fluids in the jug, emptying it as soon as I've finished. If you are a little bit handy (and careful) you can remove the dome nut holding the blades together and sharpen them using a file or stone and transforms the blender into a 'beast' (well...it's a lot more efficient least). :)
Hope this is of some help

CJ Casked
Hi, Is the 9400 strong to handle nuts on a daily basis?
3 answers
Sorry, unfortunately not on my one
I use it probably 2 times a week with nuts and haven’t had any issues.
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello CJ C, thank you for your message. The Optimum 9400 is designed to blend thick contents and can easily make nut butters.

Steve Hasked
Will the 9400 handel whole wheat berries in small amounts and transform them into soft flour?
1 answer
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello Steve H,
Thank you for your question. We can confirm that the blender can easily blend whole wheat berries to turn them into a fine flour as the motor is certainly powerful enough to achieve this. When making small quantities, please make sure that the blades are fully covered by the ingredients so that the blades can create the Vortex. We hope this helps but please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions
Rebeccaasked
I love the idea of the optional extra smaller jug for smaller quantities with the Optimim 9400. Does this small 1 litre jug fit any of the other Optimum blenders eg the G2.1/2.3 ranges?
2 answers
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello Rebecca, thank you for your enquiry. The 750ml mini jug is only suitable for the Optimum 9400. However, the G2.3 comes automatically with 2 jugs - a 2L and a 1L. We hope this helps but please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any further questions :)
In regard to the smaller jugs, the 750ml (for 9400) and the 1litre (G2.3), do they also have the 6 blades and are therefore capable of the same functions as the larger jugs? We are a two-person household and often I will be making small quantities accordingly

Hello, thank you for your question. The Optimum 9400 Vortex blender can make fresh juices. It is able to easily blend whole fruits and vegetables, unpeeled and uncut, creating a healthy juice full of fibres. If you prefer, you can also remove the pulp using a sieve or a nut milk bag. We hope this helps but please contact us at [email protected] if you have any further questions :)

Lindaasked
I use coconut cream in my green smoothies, but do not like wasting a bottle of white vinegar to remove the oily film that's left behind. Any easier and cheaper options?
2 answers
For greasy or oily washups, I use a small dash of ammonia to the detergent and warm water and it is quite effective. Rinsing your washup in warm water that has a dash of vinegar in it, makes your washup gleam and clean.
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello Linda, thank you for your enquiry and Dawn, thank you for your detailed cleaning tips. You can also use a tablespoon of apple cider, a drop of detergent and a tablespoon of baking soda. Add some warm water and let is soak for a couple of minutes. You can also leave it overnight and then simply rinse and wipe down with a towel. We hope this helps :)
Stephen Dobsonasked

Mmathasked
I only use my Optimum 9400 to make smoothies and a raw food cake occasionally which I always have trouble with as the ingredients always get stuck around the blades and they free spin.
Today I was making the Almond date cake again and the blender just stopped. I read about the reset button but mine doesn't go in it just kind of presses and nothing happens. The blender still won't work. Help!
2 answers
Same for me : my 9400 just stopped while I was blending easy ingredients together. Manually the rotation of both blades and engine are functioning (I can make them turn). Seems to be the engine !? I unplugged and replugged, waited in case machine needed to cool of (though not hot at all!) and nothing changes. Am very disappointed, for the high price should guarantee better solidity !
Can this message please be answered with proper help ? thank you, AS.

Hello, can I make fish cakes using the Optimum 9400 blender? Or is the blender mainly for making smoothies and soups? Basically, I need a new food processor. Cheers, Daniela
1 answer
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello Daniela,
Thank you for your enquiry. You can certainly prepare the mix for the fish cakes using the Optimum 9400. It also has a pulse function which is ideal if you don't want a smooth consistency.

Nikasked
does the safety cut off require minutes before being able to be used again? I am looking for a excellent blender to replace my mediocre ladyship blender, LVT-866 which looks identical to this model!. Does the blade internals or any part of the juicer rust in time?
1 answer
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hello Nik,
Thank you for your message. We can confirm that the Optimum 9400 blender has a reset button that is triggered when the thermal protector sensed that the machine is about to overheat. To get the machine to work again, simply turn the power switch off for a few minutes allowing the machine to cool down and re-set.
The blade assembly is made of stainless steel and therefore does not rust. However, always make sure that the bearings at the bottom of the jug are kept dry at all time.
We hope this helps but if you have any more questions, you can contact us directly at [email protected] :)
