H3000 2nd Generation

Hello, Im interested in purchasing the Optimum H3000 and noticed someone just purchased this juicer in March 2020 for $359.00. Why is there such a price difference?

Hello Victoria, as per the website the H3000 2nd Gen is currently sold out https://www.froothie.com.au/optimum-h3000
Regarding the price, I don‘t remember that this model was ever on sale for only $359
Our supplier and marketing team normally decide when we have special sales like recently we had a 10% discount offer for Easter.
Did you have a look at the Optimum 600M or 400XL already? You might be interested in this model :)
What are you mainly looking into juicing?
kind regards,
Alex

Is this product works well with oranges and Lime to make juices? Please respond. Thanks

Hello Nadja,
Yes, the Optimum H300 2nd Generation works really well with lime and oranges. Obviously the fruits need to be peeled as the peel would not taste good and will clumb the juicer.
I hope this helps and you will be really impressed with Optimum H3000 2nd Gen. Any other questions please do not hesitate at [email protected] or via phone at 1300 309 900. We are here to help, thank you immensely :)
And remember, any purchase on our website includes a full unconditional money-back guarantee which includes return postage if you change your mind. However, I can guarantee this will not be the case.

Dear Froothie Team,
I have this 2nd Gen model, and whilst I save the skins of citrus and pineapple to brew into a herbal tonic, I actually know how many vitamins and goodness is in citrus skin. So, if I can't use a whole lemon or lime, can i peel it and then juice some of the skin separately. Also, FYI, the citrus skin is often dried and use in herbal teas, as is highly prized medicinally in many cultures.

H3000 2nd Generation

Do I have to buy separately another pulp outlet to do sorbet from frozen fruits?
I just have got Optimum H3000 2nd Generation and there WAS ONLY one pulp outlet which is not suitable to do the sorbet. I tried to do with this original one and I have almost broken it with frozen fruits. What is the hot plate for? There was not any suitable manual with the machine I received to use it efficiently and safely. How to use the machine to do baby food or nut milk, etc. ?

H3000 2nd Generation

HI I just received the Optimum H3000 2nd Generation juicer. I was so excited after researching the product, which I specifically wanted for celery juicing and which was recommended by Froothie. To my shock, the celery pulp completely blocks up the machine as the pulp cannot get through the controlled pulp outlet. I've tried chopping the celery small, but nothing worked. It can't handle celery. I have read the manual, looked up videos etc. and there are no answers other than the pulp outlet is too little to let the pulp out. If anyone has any recommendations before I return the juicer, please let me know. Cheers

I have juiced celery many times- no cutting, stalks, leaves-everything. I can only think you have the wrong combination of strainer and pulp outlet. My machine came with two options and not much information.
First the juicer (celery) uses the clear plastic filter with 2 outlet screens and the pulp outlet with an orange seal which fits the knob end of the screw.
The other attachment (no information) uses a white plastic attachment with a circumferential filter at the end . This is great for pulping things like tomatoes without removing the pulp.
I have been using the machine now for maybe 2 years without fault. It loves juicing celery?

Hi Les thanks for your feedback, I have only the one attachment with a tiny hole with adjustable pulp settings and just found out from Froothie that there is another attachment which will take a few weeks to arrive that might be more suitable from juicing celery. Perhaps this is the one you are talking about. I was under the impression that the 2nd generation is a brand new product that just came out, so I am surprised you have had it for that long, and I am glad you having no issues with it. Once more thanks for your suggestions, and I hope this will be resolved soon. Cheers

Hey Sandra, yes exactly we do have another pulp outlet as well especially for people that are only juicing fruit and vegetables with high fiber content :) However for juicing celery you should not be facing any issues. We recommend to cut the pieces about 2-3cm long, then it works best.
Also a great tip is to alternate between fruits and vegetables with low and high fiber content. Here are some more tips: https://athenasolutions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036815653-H3000-2nd-Gen-Juicing-Tips-600-Pro-

Highly doubt it. It's not even good for home juicing

Muna

The instruction manual suggests not exceeding more than 20 minutes use at a time, to avoid over heating. If you allow break in between, I think this would be good enough for a small cafe business. They have really good warranty in place too. I am not sure how much of that warranty covers commercial use though. Hope this helps. All the best!

Optimum Appliances
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances

Hi Mark, please accept my apologies for the delayed response. It seems this question was missed.
As Muna correctly pointed out, and I thank her for that, the H3000 is not fit for commercial use even if for a small cafe as you described.

The appliance comes with a lifetime warranty on the motor but using it for commercial purposes would surely void that warranty.

Hope this helps and cheers to your health :-)

How does it go with celery as that is what I will primarily juice?

Chop celery and feed through, it works really well. I add it to almost all my juice recipes and it has worked every time. So, as long as you chop celery, you’ll have no problem juicing it in H3000.

Optimum Appliances
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances

Thank you Muna for your kind answer. Horizontal juicers are perfect if you mainly want to be juicing leafy vegetables such as celery. Should you have any further questions about the appliance, please contact us directly at [email protected] and we will gladly assist you :)
