Great Product so worth the money

published

I bought this after the cheaper model I wanted was unavailable. I decided to buy as my son was so pleased with his machine I bought him a few years earlier and they did lots of research. It is very well built and will last for many years. It makes perfect smoothies, soups and is easy to use and has many more uses I've not tried yet. Great product would highly recommend. Definitely worth the money.

Years of excellent service

published

I've had this unit for about 4 years and it is just wonderful. It has more than enough power for home use and does a perfect result every time. I mainly use it for green smoothies as it just pulverises veggies into a fantastic drink every time. Am amazed at how well it "cooks" pumpkin soup .. half an onion, raw pumpkin, white pepper and some salt and whiz for about 10 mins ... wow. Highly recommended.

Brilliant blender with amazing customer service

published

We have had our blender for almost 4 years now. It is powerful, easy to clean and a massive time saver. We've had to liaise with customer service on two issues and both times they have blown us away with their efficient, pro-active support.

Great Machine. I couldn't live without it.

published

I have had my Optimum blender for several years now. It is the best blender I have ever owned. I use it for smoothies and making ice cream and fruit bars. I love how the fruit comes out super smooth, if needed and it handles all types with no issues, unlike other blenders I have owned.
It's easy to use, great control over blending consistency. Strong machine and easy to clean.
Definitely 5 stars :)

Loving my Nutri Force Extractor!

published

So far, I've focussed on smoothies with frozen fruit, almonds, dates and coconut milk. Everything blends into a delicious and nutritious drink. It satisfies my sweet tooth while eliminating refined sugars... next step, nut butters and nut milks. The machine and parts are really solid - stronger than my other kitchen gadgets, and the suction caps on the base of the machine mean it's not going anywhere I don't want it to.

Just keeps going!

published

I am a serious blender user. Having in the past quickly burnt out some of the more mainstream brands, I decided it was time to do my research, support a local Aus company and be smarter about my blender investment. I mean, how many of the cheap and not so great ones does it take to add up to one really top notch one. That just is not smart and not sustainable shopping.

An awesome product, more than 5 stars worth.

Anyways - do yourself a favour, don't waste your time and money on cheap 'blenders'. Get the real deal. You (like me) will be happier for it :)

Optimum 9400 - had it for 6 or 7 years now. Have used it almost everyday for smoothies and has never missed a beat and still going strong. Very glad I bought this. I never write reviews neither good nor bad, but feel this was warranted.

I have had my blender for at least 12 months, if not more. I absolutely love it and couldn't live without it. I use it daily, several times, whether to make nut milks, sauces, smoothies, grind my coffee beans, soups, the list is endless. I cannot recommend this product enough, love, love, love it.

Questions & Answers

Dani

Daniasked

Hi there,
I am looking at the G2.6 Platinum but am wondering if the 9200a 2nd generation would suffice...? I see someone bought the G2.6 in February for $490? Is that right? They seem to be almost double that typically.
Which model would you recommend out of these two models?
Kind Regards,
Dani.

Hi team I currently have the 9200 version and wanted to know how loud or noisy the g2.6 is in comparison ? Do you have decibel readings on your models ?

Hi Francesca
We had the 9200 on loan for a few months before we got the G2.6. They are probably about the same noise level, bearing in mind that they are powerful machines so are expected to be noisy, especially when crushing ice or grinding nuts. Having said that the G2.6 is easier to clean as the jug is wider at the bottom (although running it with detergent and water for about a minute cleans it well anyway) and it is easier to use with the pre-programmed buttons. We're really happy with the G2.6.
