Years of excellent service

published

I've had this unit for about 4 years and it is just wonderful. It has more than enough power for home use and does a perfect result every time. I mainly use it for green smoothies as it just pulverises veggies into a fantastic drink every time. Am amazed at how well it "cooks" pumpkin soup .. half an onion, raw pumpkin, white pepper and some salt and whiz for about 10 mins ... wow. Highly recommended.

Brilliant blender with amazing customer service

published

We have had our blender for almost 4 years now. It is powerful, easy to clean and a massive time saver. We've had to liaise with customer service on two issues and both times they have blown us away with their efficient, pro-active support.

Great Machine. I couldn't live without it.

published

I have had my Optimum blender for several years now. It is the best blender I have ever owned. I use it for smoothies and making ice cream and fruit bars. I love how the fruit comes out super smooth, if needed and it handles all types with no issues, unlike other blenders I have owned.
It's easy to use, great control over blending consistency. Strong machine and easy to clean.
Definitely 5 stars :)

Loving my Nutri Force Extractor!

published

So far, I've focussed on smoothies with frozen fruit, almonds, dates and coconut milk. Everything blends into a delicious and nutritious drink. It satisfies my sweet tooth while eliminating refined sugars... next step, nut butters and nut milks. The machine and parts are really solid - stronger than my other kitchen gadgets, and the suction caps on the base of the machine mean it's not going anywhere I don't want it to.

Purchased in December 2019.

Just keeps going!

published

I am a serious blender user. Having in the past quickly burnt out some of the more mainstream brands, I decided it was time to do my research, support a local Aus company and be smarter about my blender investment. I mean, how many of the cheap and not so great ones does it take to add up to one really top notch one. That just is not smart and not sustainable shopping.

An awesome product, more than 5 stars worth.

Anyways - do yourself a favour, don't waste your time and money on cheap 'blenders'. Get the real deal. You (like me) will be happier for it :)

Great buy

Optimum 9400 - had it for 6 or 7 years now. Have used it almost everyday for smoothies and has never missed a beat and still going strong. Very glad I bought this. I never write reviews neither good nor bad, but feel this was warranted.

I used to go through at least one blender a year but this one has lasted me 3 years so far. It blends everything smoothly and efficiently. Worth every cent and now I don't have to keep replacing blenders.

I have had my blender for at least 12 months, if not more. I absolutely love it and couldn't live without it. I use it daily, several times, whether to make nut milks, sauces, smoothies, grind my coffee beans, soups, the list is endless. I cannot recommend this product enough, love, love, love it.

Great machine, superior quality!!

Great product! Very powerful motor. It turns coffee beans in powder just in seconds. It never miss a bit since I bought it. It seems to just blend and smash everything I put in. Very effective machine.

Huntingdale

Huntingdaleasked

I have one of your blenders and the other day the blades fell off one of the jugs I use and I had a second one and somehow their was black shredder rubber under the jug when I used it. Couldn't see where it came from. Not sure what is going on. My daughter has the same blender and believes my blender is less powerful than hers.
What do you suggest. Not keen to use it and gave out it away in the cupboard.
Your advise would be great.
Kind regards
Monika
