terrible – After doing some online research, I bought this blender to make my own almond butter. It was terrible. Despite online info that it is suitable to make nut butters, I can attest it is not so. The jar is plastic and any movement affects the grinding gears. I have a sprinkling of metal dust all over the place where the jar sits, and after 3 different… Read more

jars, it has made no difference. Buy this if you want ONLY to juice- not suitable and terrible at nut butters.

The Optimum Choice for Blending – Best Blender on the market - we’ve been using them for years. They double as food processors with a great blade system. I’ve tried most of the high end blenders and these are my only choice. Show details ·  1

My most valuable kitchen appliance – This high speed blender is excellent - it blends any food I put into it quickly and efficiently. I make plant based milk from nuts and oats, soups, and delicious smoothies for my health. My husband likes to make nut butters - we use it everyday. The non-toxic jug is nice and wide and easy to clean - such a great product at a great price.… Read more ·  1

Froothie are wonderful to deal with - very friendly, helpful and they do repairs and replacement parts whenever possible which is a good policy. I thoroughly recommend this blender.

It's an excellent blender – Does everything it claims to do. My only criticism is that the manual is a little thin on details such as how long and what setting for certain foods, e.g., the recipe book doesn't give these details either. It would be really helpful if it did. Show reply

Amazing appliance & value for money – I was looking to buy a power blender and was considering to purchase a Vita Mix, but it is incredibly expensive! I saw the Optimum 9400 and after reading all the specs and saw THE PRICE, I didn't notice any difference with the other product, so I went ahead to buy it. I am pleasantly surprised with the Optimum 9400 blending ability! And the noise… Read more ·  1

reduction cover! Especially useful.as I live in an apartment and don't want to wake up my whole building, when I juice in the morning. It is amazing to note that the blender doesn't shake even if it has a very powerful motor! It is perfect for the type of food I use. So far, it has been THE BEST investment I ever made. I'm a very satisfied customer. It looks impressive!! Like the Boost Juice blenders! I like the fact that it is Australian made and I can talk to someone in Australia, if I have any questions. I encourage to go ahead and buy the 9400 blender, you will be satisfied as I am.

Love this blender – I love this blender, it blends everything with ease! I have made nut butter, smoothies, bliss balls and slices in this and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Only downside I would say is that it doesn’t clean itself like they claim haha Show details ·  1

Changed our daily life!!! – This blender is a fabulous!!! It is the most awesome blender I have ever seen and bought. High capacity container with a MONSTER motor. It blends everything into its molecular structure. I bought Optimum 9400 2nd Gen couple of months ago. Been working with it every day with no pause. Every time, 800g cauliflower, two apples, 3 oranges, 2 bananas,… Read more ·  1

250g blueberries, 200g strawberries, few ice cubes and 200ml coconut milk. In just few seconds, the result is a fluid like smoothie with no residue. The 2lit jar is easily washable with no color change. This product is a must-have one. I highly recommend that.

Super Blender – I purchased a Optimum 9400 1st Generation Blender in 2015 after doing quite a lot of research. The 6 blades, reasonable price and powerful motor won me over, this is one powerful blender and it’s had endless use over many years. I decided to upgrade to a 2nd Generation as I liked the wider 2 litre Jug Plus I ordered the Optional I litre jug which… Read more ·  1

is very handy for smaller quantities. I’ve just passed on the Ist Generation to my 86 year old mother who loves it and will definitely outlast her. I must add that the service I’ve received from Froothie staff has been exceptional. One very happy Customer

Super powerful blender! – So impressed with my Optimum 9400 2nd Gen! Such a powerful blender, blends frozen fruits, ice and dates with absolute ease and turns them into the most creamy ice-cream and smoothies! I love that it also has a wider jug which makes it super easy to scoop all the blended contents out of and to clean. Highly recommend!  Show details ·  1

Blade Assembly for Optimum 94000 – I have had my Optimum 9400 for 7 years and had noticed that the blades aren't moving as freely as they should be. After contacting support they advised me to change it as the blades had seized. I noticed some rusting as I was cleaning it too. Athena support were very helpful and gave me the correct blade assembly to buy for the machine and gave me… Read more ·  1

links on videos on how to install it. It was quite hard to unscrew the old blade but with some force and a hammer I managed to remove the old blades. The new ones arrived and was very easy to install.

I can now look forward to another 7 years at least of use from my Optimum 9400 as the motor is excellent.

Great Blender! – I have had this blender now since December, 2013. It is used mostly for preparing smoothies and for making soups but I have also used it for making my own icing sugar and grinding nuts. On the plus side: - the motor is very powerful and blitzes the soups and smoothies in a matter of seconds, giving a lovely smooth, creamy consistency; - The… Read more ·  1

jug has a large capacity On the negative side: - Whilst it is capable of dealing with heavy duty blending, it is difficult sometimes to scoop out all the blended food from the bottom of the blender. I tried making my own peanut butter once, but trying to remove it all took some doing. You really need a long handled, slender spatula, but this is a minor issue. - It is quite loud but you have to expect this from such a powerful motor. Over the past 5 years, I have had a couple of issues with the blender, however, these were very quickly resolved by the Froothie team. The customer service provided by the team was excellent on both occasions. The only thing that would make this product perfect - for me- would be to have a smaller attachment which could act like a food processor and which could also do smaller items such as herbs and spices.

Pro-level blender in your home! – I bought my Optimum 9400 in November of 2015 and it's still going strong. It doesn't always see that much action, but when it does, it's just a joy! We've mostly used it for smoothies, juices and soups - you feel like you're in a juice bar when you work with it. In fact I liked this blender so much, that I gifted a cold press juicer (Optimum 600) for my mother - that one gets use every single day - just as pro-level as this blender! Show details ·  1

Great blender with a few issues – Firstly my sale experience with Froothie left a lot to be desired. Their lack of communication during the process was very poor and I doubt I would ever buy anything from them again. After payment I heard nothing for 4 days. Extremely poor. The blender is great. churns through anything you throw at it with ease. it's let down by it's switch dial… Read more

- it's complete rubbish. It never ever engages the first time. In fact 70% of the time you have to turn it 3-7 times to get the machine to turn on. i thought this would improve with use but nope. It's one of the worst switches I've seen on any product. it's garbage. The simple button layout on earlier models would be a far better option. I really hate the switch.

A Great Purchase – After a lot of investigation on what's on the market, I decided to buy the Optimum 9400 2nd generation and I'm not disappointed on any way. This blender is a sleek look and makes short work of anything that you put into it. A great test was a ginger elixir that I make make with 700mls of unpasteurised honey and 800 g of ginger root, this is offen… Read more

a blender destroyer but was all done and dusted in 9 minutes. This machine was spectacularly powerful, quiet, and created a complete solution that doesn't settle.

I also wanted to mention the extraordinary service that I have experienced in my contacts with Froothie, their professionalism and genuine commitment to providing a quality product is both refreshing and admirable.

Until now I had not spent any more… Read more

than $100 dollars on a blender so you can imagine I was a little anxious investing in the Optimum, after only 2 uses I'm confident I made the right decision. The build quality and design is impressive, the ease of use straight out of the box with a nice balance of simple auto and manual programs, the wide and low profile of the jug making it very easy to clean and I was very surprised in how quiet it was. I also had to contact your Customer service during the purchase to arrange delivery and your representative could not have been more helpful and very pleasant to deal with.

Many thanks for the great product and service very much appreciated.

Makes anything you want – A satisfying product that handles grinding grains to flour, as well as any food processing task. We use ours to make hommus, soy milk (it comes with a straining net), as well as the generic smoothie. The only downside is that there is not function to remove the blades like there can be on low end blenders. This makes it difficult to get the last bits of whatever is being made out of the bottom.  Show details

Amazing high speed blender! Love it! – I’m super impressed with this blender! I have had other top of the range high speed blenders that cost double the price, yet this is VERY comparable to the other. I love that it has 6 blades, not just four. It blends so well and smoothly! And it’s not as loud as some others also! I LOVE the self clean option! It makes cleaning SO much easier, not… Read more

having to try to get in under all the blades - so long as you rinse it right after using it! There are preset selections and then a variable speed dial. I need to have a good quality heavy duty machine, because we use our blender multiple times per day (at least 2-3) for all different things - smoothies, smoothie bowls, nice cream, sauces, dips, nut milk and the rest. We need a blender that can withstand this sort of stuff, and I’m very happy that this optimum does just that! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality high speed blender, and looking to enjoy an absolute bargain at the same time!!!
