RIP the old blenders – We've been "trying" to eat home-made healthy raw Smoothies for years, but couldn't take to the lumpy sludge we were producing.

After killing off two standard, reasonable quality, domestic blenders we came across the Optimum range. After much deliberation and many, many hours of research, we settled on the 9400.

What a difference - everything came out smooth and creamy, and tasted soooo good. We've successfully made lots of different healthy delicious offerings, from steamy raw soup to scrumptious fruit sorbet (and hundreds of different fruit and "green" Smoothies in between). Nut milk is an all time favourite. The list just goes on and on - am trying to say this blender beats anything else we've tried, and it's indestructible. Excellent value for money. Excellent value for the price (for something that, in my opinion, beats the Vitamix in every way), and it does the job. haven't been able to fault it.......
