Amazing machine! – Like alot of people, I was looking at getting a Vitamix to start my journey to good health. After doing some research I stumbled upon Froothie and the Optimum 9400. Saw the videos and specifications and decided I would bite the bullet and buy one. It is a fantastic machine! Sturdy, powerful, high quality blender that pulverizes fruits and vegetables almost instantly into that nice consistency that makes it easy to drink my green smoothies every morning. Try it for yourself, you will not regret it! reliable, powerful, easy to clean
