Optimum 700

So disappointed about this expensive product – bought this product with the belief that its high value will satisfy my requirements. However, after using it I felt really disappointed as the lock of this juicer automatically open when I juice 1/4 of the apple or beetroot and the juice just stuck inside the juicer. Every time this happens it made a mess in my kitchen. I saw the advertisement… Read more

that the juice can juice the whole apple but I believe this is a false ad. This juicer could not do that.

In addition, the chute is always got block when doing juice. I can't juice even 3 glasses of juice. After juiced 2 glass of juice, I need to remove every single part and clean them before I can juice other glasses.

dissapointed – The chute always gets blocked when doing juice Huge disappointment . The juicier doesn't work properly. Keep blocking all the time. I have to remove all single parts, clean and put them together to make it continue working. Very annoying!! I believe I paid appr. $400 for this plus wait for almost 2 months to get the product, used almost 10… Read more

times in more than a year but the quality is can not believe. Strongly NOT recommended! waste of money

Not satisfy with quality of the product, service

Terrible! Clogs mercilessly even when you chop greens into tiny 5mm pieces! – I purchased the Optimum 700 when it was first released in late 2016. First cold-press juicer after having had centrifugal juicers for years. My husband wanted to send it back straight away, but I insisted we stick with trying to find a way to make the damned thing work... I followed all of the advice - cut stringy greens into small pieces; put… Read more

them in last, or put them in sparingly with other hard vegetables like beetroot or carrots; make sure the rubber thing is in the exhaust bung hole properly; don't over feed it; don't push items in, let them be chewed in by the auger; oh I can recite them all!!

We are trying it again now with another juice fast, and it has just gotten worse! Even when I cut the celery into 5mm (no joke) pieces, it still clogs instantly. It is groaning and creaking and I swear it is going to split itself in two. We end up with a ridiculous amount of pulp in the finished juice - sure, I can handle a little, but it is like 25% pulp...

I see that they have discontinued the 700, it's no wonder why... It is a flawed unit. I am unhappy that they have not reached out to all of the poor, unsuspecting customers and offered them a replacement, seeing as how they KNOW this one is rubbish...

I have had enough and submitted a warranty claim, let's see how we go. I will keep you all informed.

Excellent juicer and a great company to buy from – I purchased the Optimum 700 for my wife for christmas and she loves it! When I purchased the juicer, I debated between the Kevin's B6000/C7000 and the Optimum 700. I pored over so many reviews - written and video - and decided on the Optimum. The constant quality of the juice and it's ability to handle whole fruit were the primary decision makers.… Read more

When I purchased it, I was given the opportunity to upgrade to the version 2 of the juicer (which I did). This version has an issue with the hopper jamming on some fruit. We experienced the issue twice the first week (on a half beetroot and a small, whole apple). I reported the issue to Froothie (where I purchased from), and they acknowledged that some units have this issue and sent out a replacement hopper and centre spiral "juicer" part. I received the replacements within a couple of days (they sent it out the first week of January no less).

After using the juicer daily using the same recipes (whole apples, beetroot, carrots, oranges etc.) we have not had the issue at all.

To say that we are thrilled with the purchase is an understatement. My wife produces a few litres of juice and it stores for several days at a time. The quality of juice is fantastic. The juicer is quiet (although you should expect the normal noise from tougher fruits).

I can't say enough good about Froothie too who were very helpful and quick to respond to the issue. Don't be put off by the hopper on version 2, just contact them to ensure that the unit you purchase will have the improved hopper and you'll be thankful that you decided on the Optimum 700!

big thumbs up from our family – I have been running my new juicer daily for a month now. Have got the whole family participating in the juicing which is done just prior to cooking our tea each evening, then the juicer is rinsed and washed while tea is being cooked (I don't find it hard to clean) which is encouraging us to clean our tea preparation dishes as we go so working… Read more

very well, and means we get to sit down sooner in the evening. the quality of the juice is great- the juicer takes large pieces of fruit easily although I do cut things in half that are large. We started more with high proportion of fruit and gradually adding more veggies and while backs are turned all sorts of unidentified vegetables happen to be juiced. A couple of times a week I juice in particular order to use the pulp to make savoury or sweet scones which is also proving great- and an easy meal to have with soup when they come fresh out of the oven. Overall I got it at the sale price so fabulous product and great value for money.

BUY A KUVINGS INSTEAD – Short & concise. Pulp in juice, pulp in machine, wet pulp, customer service gone way down hill, was on the phone waiting for manager to address my complaints, I waited & waited & finally hung up. My daughter has a Kuvings commercial Whole Slow Juicer Chef CS600, she loves it, hardly any pulp in juice.  Show details

Ejection chute always gets blocked when doing greens or celery – I am so disappointed with my juicer. I paid top dollar for a quality product and it has seriously failed. If all you want to make is single soft fruit juice eg: watermelon then its fine. However you do not have to pay nearly $700 for the privilege. I did a lot of research before I bought this juicer and felt I had made a good choice. I have had… Read more

this juicer for a couple of years now and have gone back to my old cheaper juicers as has everyone else in my family. My problems are

Will not grab the the fruit and vegetables about 30% of the time when I drop into feed chute so they just keep churning around and around never being caught by the auger to go through and be juiced which means pulling everything apart and starting again. It helps if I chop everything really small however not what was promoted in the info video and does not always work.

The eject chute .... what a nightmare!!!! If I want to juice any fibrous plant material such as herbs, kale, spinach and worst of all celery it will block up unless I assist is out constantly with a pointed sharp knife to keep it moving.

Its a hassle to clean but all juicers are. I really thought that I would be able to juice 2-3 liters of juice with my $700 juicer without having to stop and dismantle several times, probe out the pulp constantly and I would completely forget this juicer if you are wanting to make medicinal juices such as anything green. Wish I paid the extra and went with the Greenstar. I have a kogan cold press juicer which I paid $70 for and although i is a lot louder it does the same job with less hassle and I would have saved a fortune. Over all I am completely disappointed in my juicer as it has certainly never functioned the way I would have expected. Why am I writing this when my warranty has expired you may ask? I just got it out again to try and see if it was my imagination and felt compelled to warn serious juicers away from this product save your money!!! Also my juicer is the Optimum 700 $698 including postage (19.95) I really wanted this to work I was trying to support an Australian company.

This is my first juicer and it is perfect – The optimum juice is amazing and easy to use.The inlet is huge and you can chuck the whole apple in without cutting. The machines is very quiet when running and I am very impressed. Cleaning just a piece of cake. I take around 2min to disassemble and clean it. Best juicer to buy in the market if you are going to invest one.  Show details

Jammed after only a few months of use! – Very disappointed in this expensive product- bought just a few months ago, and suddenly jammed during normal blending (lime and carrots). Now the bottom half now out of alignment with the top and no amount of force will fix it, and my team has no juice at all. I truly do NOT recommend to buy this at all Picture: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1hhfgfHDUIACzhB12  Show details

Rubbish – The Angel Juicer is a much superior product in terms of output and quality, this product is a poor mans version of the angel juicer. You get what you pay for, the cleaning is also cumbersome and it clogs like no tomorrow. Poor product. Dont be foolded by this rubbish  Show details

Amazing service – I had an issue with the hopper and after discussing it with Luke from Froothie, a new hopper and awl arrived at my door step the very next day. I cannot speak highly enough of their customer service. Would definitely recommend the product. I am very happy with the product.  Show details

Read this before you buy – Terrible! Can't handle leafy greens, especially celery & kale. Terrible to cleaning & fibres clog the spinning section. This machine only lasted 2 months before it stopped working. Juicer was used weekly. We've used several & this one is by far the worst. Buyer beware! If your looking for quality, you'll be disappointed.  Show details

Amazing – Bought Optimum 700 before 3 weeks and I am highly impressed with it. Sales process was really smooth. For the starting couple of days it took a bit time to get my hands around the juicer but now its really fine. Not even a single day i have missed drinking fresh juice. Nice product!!  Show details

The new design strainer work very well to reduce pulp – I got the new design strainer of optinmun 700. It work very good to reduce pulp. Thank for froontie term send the new strainer to me。finally I can enjoy the juice without use filter out the pulp, save me a lot of time. Enjoy the fruits juice from optinmun700. Thk  Show details

I wish I hadn't bought this junk!! – I'm so disappointed with this juicer I could cry. Initially the problems were how loud it is, it can't handle green leafy plants and extremely difficult to clean. Now it just stops working half way through juicing, gets really hot and makes burning smell. Also things get stuck between the screw and the sieve. To make it even worse froothie have… Read more

THE WORST customer service, they really could not care less that this junk they sold me does not do what its supposed to. One of the worst purchases I've made, and I'm going to go to ACCC!!! I would not but this or anything from them again!

Bad Design! – I don't recommend this product, juicer jams, i received replacement top part, but the problem is ongoing. Do yourself a favour don't buy this juicer. It juices the apples fine, carrots to much pulp and pulp feels wet, Forget about juicing beetroots, it can't cope, the angle of the pulp chute is very poorly designed, all the pulp gets stuck there.  Show details

Sadly...I'm very disappointed – We received our machine about 3 weeks ago and were hanging out for its delivery! On the positive side it can produce beautiful juices BUT there are serious issues with it jamming with some vegetables...mostly from our experience, beetroot. We understand that it must be cut into small pieces, which we did. It has jammed with us in its short life 5… Read more

times... 4 off them have been rectified with 2 of us holding the machine and applying a lot of force to unlock the lid. Now our machine is jammed again and even with 2 people with maximum force there's no way we can unlock..rendering our machine redundant for the time being. Not good and not happy..

Not as good as I was led to believe – Very unhappy that juicer unable to cope with celery. Gets clogged every time and very difficult to clear. Also doesn’t do that well with spinach leaves. Takes a lot of time to clean, bits of vegetables everywhere, quite messy. On the positive side it is a quiet machine but wont be used much. Expensive mistake.  Show details

Faulty product, curiously questionable customer service practices – I ordered the 700 juicer, and was told via email that I was eligible for a 'free upgrade to the 700 2nd Generation. I was thrilled of course, as they said in the email that these upgrade offers were 'unusual'. I would have to wait though, as the 2nd gen model had been 'two years in the making' and was still being tweaked. Expect delivery at the… Read more

end of August.

Fast forward to the end of September, and I finally have my juicer (after a hastening by me). I gather all my ingredients and start dropping them down the chute. The beetroot gets stuck halfway between the big mouth and the feeding tube. And there is no way of pushing it down because it's stuck in between that L shaped door flap. To make matters worse, the auger pushes it'self into a 'super locked position and I can't remove it.

ELEVEN customer service emails, videos back and forth, increasing frustration, and a request for a refund reveals that I have been sent a faulty unit. They NOW said they were aware of the problem and would replace the auger and screw.

New auger and screw arrives and it is from the Original 700 Series that I had ordered in the first place! I asked why I had received a different product and was reassured that this one would work 'exactly the same' (direct quote).

Oh well, that's what I paid for, so let this frustration be over. Then I tried to juice a whole apple...wrong move. I am now back on the 'customer support' treadmill.

I don't want any more 'We're here for you' smiley faced emails. I just want a refund, of which the end result will be my being out of pocket for shipping delivery AND return :-(

Unit jams together every time – It was both a relief and saddening to see these reviews. Mine jammed together every single time I tried (about 12) since I took it out of the box after waiting for a long time to receive the newest model for my birthday from my family only two weeks ago. If anybody is interested I looked hard at what was happening and the auger begins to move the… Read more

whole top of the unit from side to side after about sixty seconds. When it really moves too far the jamming happens. Others have tried putting unit together in case I'm just an idiot including brother who has previous model he loves and the exact same result. Putting in a warranty claim tomorrow but I don't think I want this brand again based on others experiences of same.

Really disappointed, this is the first review I have ever done on internet.

Hopefully it can be replaced or refunded

Optimum 700 Cold Press Juicer – Took delivery of our optimum700 direct from Froothie early Oct.2017 It was a real problem from the first day. The wiper would stop rotating and the screw would clog up with pulp.The whole unit would then pop of the drive shaft. However its not all doom and gloom.. We contacted Froothie and after two weeks of back and forth with e mails , videos… Read more

, photos etc. They decided it was an inherent design or manufacturing

problem in a small number of cases with this model. We were given a new re designed screw and main body.

So far (2 weeks) it hardly missed a beat. But you need to cut things up the 25mm length and not very thick.

Beet root, celery & even apple will make it work and produce loud grinding noises. I must say the response we

received from Froothie was prompt and helpful. trust this machine now will keep producing for years to come.

Keep you posted.

Papa Smerf.

Works great until you add pre-cut beetroot – Machine has been great for the first two weeks - used daily, great juice and easy to maintain. All was fine until we added pre-cut beetroot and the machine jammed the compartments together. Motor has ceased functioning so can’t follow the website directions to unlock the compartments. Hopefully warranty support is better than claimed on other reviews on this site.  Show details

Not a review but – Just ordered my optimum 700 2nd edition People would often say their expensive buy hay you can’t put a price in your health. Any tips on how best to use ? Also can I make banana and strawberry sorbets with these ? my kale, spinach and other greens are ready and waiting in the garden Can you freeze your juices ?  Show details ·  1

Fine until beetroot is added – I just had a similar issue when juicing the beetroot even when i cut it into quarters...the lid has twisted beyond the arrow and i now can’t unlock the lid or start the machine. Disappointed as it’s only been 2 days since i got it and had to wait 6 weeks after ordering it initially. Still waiting to hear from support.,..  Show details

Jammed – The machine started off fine - managed to juice apples, carrots and a lemon just fine. However, after adding a beetroot to the mix, it jammed the juicer straight away. The top of the machine twisted in the wrong direction, past the little lock symbol. We tried spent a good couple hours trying to get it unstuck - nothing worked. Extremely… Read more

disappointed. In addition, noticed the juice that was made was a bit pulpy. Perhaps it was just this one machine, perhaps not. All I know is I won't be buying again.

As good as my Optimum 9400 blender – I researched before I bought my Optimum 9400 blender, loved it. There was no decision to be made when I wanted to buy a juicer to primarily make soy milk and juices. Research showed me the Optimum 700 Juicer, It arrived today, I have been playing with it all evening, love it, trying the three juicing screens was exciting, so quiet, easy to clean… Read more

and easy to use. Buying three more will be a great 2017 Christmas presents for my three Sons. Thank you.

Money well spent – This is my first juicer. It's probably the best appliance I have bought. I'm on a health kick and wanted a juicer. I did my homework. I watched the video and read the reviews. The machine is small for a juicer so takes up less space in an already cluttered kitchen. It's so quiet, much quieter than my Nutri Ninja. Makes light work of juicing… Read more

carrots, whole apples and cucumber. I didn't even peel them. I had to cut the carrot length ways as it didn't fit through the chute. It was like magic. The juice is clean and fresh with little pulp. The pulp that came out of this machine was virtually dry. I'm so impressed and happy with this purchase. I'm a firm believer if you are going to do it then invest in the best. This is really the best. You get what you spend. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality quiet machine.

Help please! – Not a review but I need help! I'm juicing 2-3x a week (mainly Cabala- carrot/apple and beets plus some leafy greens) and clean quickly and thoroughly after use. Despite lots of scrubbing my fine mesh strainer is getting clogged which I've been unable to clean. I tried to get a pin to clean the clogged holes but the holes were too small/pin too… Read more ·  1

big. I'm now getting lots of pulp in my juice. I don't know what to do. I've tried soaking my strainer then scrubbing but it didn't help. I look forward to your help :(

Top Juicer.. BEST on the market – Highly recommend this juicer. For the last 5 months, i have put it through all the paces and its been flawless.. easy cleaning as well, and the 45rpm speed makes a huge difference, great design, mouth, auger and everything.. I'm usually very critical on products, but once again optima have delivered the best and a sensational price also. Sometimes… Read more

i spend up to one hour juicing and the machine has no problem getting through the load. I was lucky to get it on pre order of the release, so got it for only $340. One of the best things i have bought and I would pay the full $700 price for it anyway. Seriously don't waste time on any other juicer for use, yield of juice, setup and durability.

Heaven sent – I am over the moon about this juicer. Going from a conventional juicer to this baby is incomparable. Cleaning the juicer is a lot easier also. I can juice in the morning and not wake my children which is a must as I use it on a daily basis  Show details

Excellent Juicer. Learn the 'knack' and it juices most fruits and even fibrous leafy vegetables very – I am on day 116 of an epic juice fast/feast (inspired by discovering John Rose on youtube) and i have been using the optimum 700 2-3 times a day almost every day since beginning this 'solid food vacation'. It is a quiet and powerful machine and the build quality of the unit and components feel well built and solid to me. The juicer has a 'knack'… Read more

which i have learned over time. I juice fibrous greens and fruits like celery or pineapple AFTER or with softer fruits and vegetables and I chop them as small as possible before juicing otherwise the fibers have a tendency to clog in the output barrel and chute. There is some minor cosmetic wear developing from vibration on the juicer base where it meets the top assembly, but with these minor issues aside it does a great job of juicing most fruits with very good extraction and quite speedily. I can clean the juicer in about 3 - 5 minutes now ( I use an old nylon mesh nut milk bag instead of the included brush to clean the straining barrel) My favourite Juice? I have many but chilled sweet ripe rockmelon juice has been a staple for a couple of months now which i continue to relish with blissful satisfaction :)

(tip: Choose ripe rockmelons by smelling the outside of the fruit. It should be fragrant and sweet and the colouration should be minimally green. The old looking melons which have darkened can be the most fragrant smelling and the sweetest. As long as there are no soft rotten spots and no fermented smell i suggest to go for those!

My best friend during a juice cleanse – We did quite a bit of research before buying a juicer and was about to settle for the Omega VSJ, but came across the Optimum 700 that was on sale at the time. I am very happy with the Optimum 700. It is quiet and juices most fruits and vegetables without issues - it does get blocked up sometimes if you are not careful how you feed it. What I love… Read more

about it, is that it is multi-functional and doesn't just juice. I used it for a 60 day juice cleanse and it worked great during that time - it is definitely a hard working machine. The individual parts are easy to clean, but does take some time to work through everything properly. Customer support is also fast and friendly. I would buy the Optimum 700 again, it is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

Best juicer ever – Orange beetroot apple and ginger juice. Easy to use and easy to clean. Show details ·  1
