Loving it so far
Only received yesterday.
Communication from froothie was fantastic! Helpful and prompt replies.
I upgraded to the G2.6. Once my payment went through my blender arrived the next day!
*****Unboxing - looks flash. My husband stated it lookedw nice and sleek.
First use - I did have to read the instructions as I couldn’t work it out at first ! The panel will flash when blender is plugged in. Then you need to press on/off to power on the panel. Then choose your preset, then press on /off to start blending. Pretty easy once you know. Not a big de...
Read moreal- as I read some negative comments about this. I also read the lid can be tricky to get on and off - you do have to push down each side to put it on properly but I don’t find this difficult at all. Blending - I made a protein fruit smoothie and it turned out super creamy and smooth. This morning I made a banana icecream and tried using the tamper tool which I had trouble with as was only making a small serving for myself so the tamper couldn’t reach the ingredients at the bottom. I needed to stop and use a spoon to stir it around 2 times, then I used a combo of “sorbet” setting and then pulse and it blended really well into the icecream and pretty fast! Maybe the 1 Lt jug would work better for smaller servings.Purchased in February 2021.

Amazing kitchen appliance
Love everything about this Optimum G2.6 Platinum Series, it blends well both liquids and solids. We have made smoothies and soups with this and so far so good. Easy to use and wash. Sits perfectly on the bench.

I didn’t think it would be this good
I’ve had 2 9400’s since 2013 ( Straya & NL ) loved them, I received my G2.6 very recently and I’m completely blown away by it, it does everything with ease, I’m a daily user, believe me when I tell you that I will be “ testing “ it, is there anything it can’t do / accomplish ? I doubt it

Outstanding product and service
For over 6 years we have used Nutribullets daily, sometimes several times each day, at home, to do all sorts of things. While good for the price, recent models have dropped in quality. When our latest bullet died after only 18 months of use, but our original bullet was still going at the office, we switched brands to one more concerned about quality. We started with Vitamix blenders. Research led us to Froothie and their range of blenders, which appeared as good or better than Vitamix at about half-price.
In December 2020 we plunged for an Op...

Brilliant - but would expect that for the price point
Great product, super quality, handles anything. Expensive for a blender but the 10 year warranty should make it worthwhile. So far all good, lets hope it stays that way, time will tell

The Love of my cooking life
Dear Froothie
You are the heart of my kitchen. You saved me when my fussy little son (who is 4) refused to eat any vegetables. I would stress and you were there to create awesome smoothies that my son and I can create together. They were smooth (with no lumpy bits which my son hates!) and so nutritious as I was able to combine fruits with vegetables such as spinach, avocados carrots. He loves them and I know he is getting nutritious foods. You are so powerful blending the foods such as frozen strawberries, bananas with spinach that my son can...
Read more watch you all day. The settings of your blender make it easy to select the consistency of our smoothies, sorbets or soups. You are super fast that I could have my family’s smoothies or soups ready in minutes and are delicious. It is like buying a smoothie from a juice store. You are the perfect member to our family and I think you will always will be. How can I ever live without you in my kitchen. Forever yoursPurchased for $629.00.

Love this blender
I have had this amazing blender for 3and a bit years.
My son needs nutritional supplements which are not very tasty (absolutely horrible actually) but they can be disguised so well when combined with other foods, he never finds nasty lumps of yucky hiding in his delicious smoothies and protein treat balls !!!
I haven't had any issues chopping nuts etc unlike other blenders I have used.
The only complaint I have is it chopped up the plastic scraper (but perhaps my son's support worker shouldn't have turned it on whilst the scraper was still sitting in it !!!!!
It is also a little noisy, fortunately I don't tend to want to use it at 5am.

Great machine!
Makes awesome smooth smoothies and purées soup perfectly. The only thing I don’t like is the lid is difficult to get on and off. Small issue compared to the performance of the machine. It’s also extremely loud first thing in the morning!!

I finally found you! A strong Reliable Blender
Very powerful and sturdy blender, makes very creamy smoothies, it even blends the seeds from berries. No more gritty smoothies.
I love the preset functions and the LED screen.
Looks good on the bench and is very easy to clean.
I use this Blender every day for many recipes.
the 10 year warranty and 24/7 support gives me peace of mind.
I am so happy.

Great products and Great caring customer service
6 Years ago (2015) I researched for a perfect powerful blender Optimum Froothie won and I purchased my first blender, Optimum9400, never regretted it, Fantastic blender. Unfortunately through non stop use I needed to replace it, and of course didn't even look elsewhere. The Froothie customer service team were amazing and I purchased the G2.6 with lifetime warranty, due to the dishwasher safe jug and the pre-set programs. It again is used many times a day, amazing blender, highly recommending. Love the auto soup function making and 'heating' soups from raw ingredients.

Powerful and strong
We just moved to Australia from America and I had to replace all our kitchen appliances. We had an amazing blender before so I spent some time researching. I'm not familiar with any Aussie brands but this one kept coming up. I gave it a try and it's pretty amazing. It makes super blended creamy smoothies. We've had it for a couple of months and it continues to perform fabulously every time. The only downfall is the powering on issue. You must hit a button on the side, then press the off/on button, then press your present and then once again press the off/on. My kids get really confused every time. All in all it's a really great blender, maybe they will fix that in a later version.

Possibly the best blender in the world
I purchased this as the family just loves smoothie's, thick shakes and soup. I can honestly say it has been a revelation to us - Easy to use, powerful, and easy to clean. We use it at least 3 or 4 times a day. I would not buy any other blender.

Powerful motor but not without its issues
After researching various blenders and deciding between this and an equivalent specced Vitamix, I went with the Optimum G2.6 Platinum Series based on the more powerful motor. And the motor does seem great, but that's not the complete story. Here are some issues I have:
Design-wise, this is just a big cube with a jug on top. Kind of an eyesore in the kitchen.
The plastic smell from the jug and lid will also linger for the first week or so, even after washing with soapy water.
The touch controls are a little frustrating to use. For example, ...
Read moreyou power on the device with a weird push button on the back right side (not a nice left/right switch like a Vitamix), which lights the touch control ON/OFF. You then have to press the ON/OFF touch control for it to activate the presets. After you select a preset, you have to select the ON/OFF again to start. What should happen is once you turn on the device, you select your preset and hit start. The current requirement to turn it on a second time with the ON/OFF button after turning it on with the power-on push button is super annoying. Why do I have to turn it on twice? I ordered the 1L jug mid-Dec for $150 (the price is unnecessarily exorbitant), and it didn't come with my order. After calling them about it, they informed me they were out of stock, and I should receive it mid-Jan. Apparently, people received emails about this after they ordered their blenders, but not me. There was a problem with my order, so they had to manually add me to the mailing list. This really should have been disclosed on their website when I purchased it. I've owned Vitamix's for the past 10 years and didn't have any of the above issues, so I am a little disappointed that I gave this brand a chance and have run into these quibbles. At the end of the day, I gave it 4-stars because it's still a good blender. But it's not without its issues. Hopefully, this feedback will help with their next version of this blender.Purchased in December 2020 for $553.00.

After purchasing a cheaper blender and not getting the best results, this has been amazing. It blends my smoothies leaving no lumps at all no matter what ingredients I use.

An amazing blender
So pleased with our purchase of the Optimum G2.6. We had previously owned the Froothie - Optimum 9200 (first generation) blender which served our family of four, reliably making fruit smoothies and even ice-creams many times a day over the past six years. The jug blade assembly bearings on our 9200 finally wore out so we considered either buying replacement parts or a new blender. After visiting Froothie’s website to view our options we were drawn by the great reviews for the Optimum G2.6 - so we thought why not try it, especially seeing Frooth...
Read moreie offers a 30 day satisfaction return guarantee. We can honestly say we won’t be returning our G2.6 - we loved our 9200 but the G2.6 is even more amazing. It makes the smoothest smoothies we have ever experienced, faster and with amazing control over timing and speed settings. Oh! almost forgot to mention it comes with a 10 year warranty or the option to purchase a lifetime warranty.Purchased in December 2020 at Froothie for $489.00.

I have a busy cafe and we do a lot of Açai bowls and smoothies. We have 2 of these blenders and are great! After using a different brand we switched to these and they are great for big batches of açai. I would also recommend getting the 1LT jug for smaller quantity smoothies. They blend really well and being able to blend unattended frees up my staff for other jobs!

Hi there I just got my new G2.6 platinum blender and the buttons on the touch screen don’t work! Plz heap!
2 answers
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hey Jake, The Optimum G2.6 Platinum Series comes with a small on/off switch that is located at the bottom of the unit. Please refer to the following photo and take note of that little white button that is on the bottom right-hand side of the base: https://prnt.sc/w9q764
In order for the blender to power up, you will need to press this switch prior to using your G2.6. It is not uncommon for customers to forget about this, so no stress at all!
Hope this helps, and do let us know if you have any other queries that we may assist with!
Hi yes we have tried all this and still not working we were talking to Andrea from real food solution but havnt heard from her in 2 days. It’s like the touch button are not working? Who can we call to get a replacement, my wife is very upset as it was her Christmas present and she has smoothies everyday! We are very excited to one day use this amazing blender.
nathanasked
Hi my g2.6 blender won’t start it’s just flashes E01 on the screen , is this a fault code for the blender
2 answers
Try unplugging and plugging back in. If that doesn't work, I'd contact Froothie as it may be a motor issue.
Athena Solutions Pty LtdOptimum Appliances
Hey Nathan, please make sure the jug is placed onto the base. If that was done then error E01 could mean that water has gained access into the display PCB. Please leave the unit for 48 hours to dry and try again.
If you still require assistance you can contact our technical support under: https://athenasolutions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Hope that helps :)
