The Nutriforce Mini is a solid little unit, easily blended a smoothie, banana, frozen berries, milk and yogurt. Rechargeable, strong motor, self cleaning, I just gave it a rinse out, then added clean water and a drop of detergent, blended for a few seconds, rinsed it and it's clean as a whistle. It's just the right size to take away camping, on… Read more ·  1

Compact, easy to use & a breeze to clean – I have loved using the Optimum Nutriforce Mini! It’s compact, takes up minimal counter (and cupboard space) and is super easy to use —perfect for small kitchens or people on the go. The other thing I love about it is how easy it is to clean. If you are a regular smoothie goer or enjoy spending time in the kitchen, I highly recommend this product! Show reply

Amazing very easy to clean not the best at blending power – Amazing and cheap the motor is actually very fast chops through milkshakes and smoothies! Not the best at blending frozen fruits as it will stop and flash red but give it a shake and it's off takes a bit too charge but it last a while on one charge easy to clean add water and soap and blend you can detach the bottom and top to make cleaning or drying easier great for smoothies and milk shakes Show details ·  3

needed to fully charge it once the box was opened, which took a few hours. Note - you will need some sort of adapter for charging as this only comes with the charging cable. The blender works well for basic smoothies, and is relatively quiet. Follow the instructions for cleaning.

 Follow-up  · Weight for travel is great. Barely noticeable. Battery life is as expected for a blender of this style. No leaks.

I am happy with the experience of replacing my Optimum NutriForce Extractor old model with 2.0. Froothie were very good to deal with and I would recommend their products. Show details ·  2

 Follow-up  · I am getting used to the new model. It seems very powerful and does all I ask of it - smoothies, pesto and a lot of small things like beating eggs etc. It has less capacity than my old one - 800 ml compared to a litre - but I also have a large Optimum blender I use to process larger quantities.

Camping smoothies and cocktails – I’m a big fan of stick blenders as they are simple to use and easy to clean up and have a small footprint, well this Optimum company comes up with things that are changing my favourite lists. Here we have a rechargeable mini blender that throws in a flashing light show for giggles. As soon as I received it I charged it up and made a berry… Read more ·  5

smoothie. Glad to see a quality USB-C connection to the blender and a usb connection at the other end so it can be charged off anything. It has lights around the ring that show you the level of charge (they also become a disco light when blending). I like to test things hard so I packed in a third of the container with ice and the rest with berries and milk. The result was more like a thick shake with only a few small pieces of ice not turned into slushie. Kids so happy that I had to impress the adults so next was some frozen pina coladas!

Another great test was a bowl of freshly picked chillies, which filled the container to over two thirds full, a little water and 30 seconds later I have perfect puréed chilli sauce.

The most exciting thing for me is we now have a blender to take camping.

Clean up is a breeze although if you get anything stuck around the base you have to be careful cleaning it as the blades stay attached to the base which can’t be submerged in water.

It comes with a base to turn it into a drinking vessel and the lid has a pop top spout, really smart.

I have the Optimum Manma Mia pasta maker which also minces meat and slow juices vegetables perfectly and with this blender i now have nearly everything covered. I am most impressed that it blends things so evenly which is surprising for its size.

Thanks Optimum, you’ve impressed me again!

Great Blender – My wife needed a blender since our 70$ Russell Hobbs blender broke within one year. We returned it to Kmart and got the money refunded. Since Kmart didn't have that model so I started looking for a reliable brand. Nutri Ninja and Nutri Bullet were the two top contenders and I went through countless reviews of a number of models but couldn't… Read more ·  1

decide which one to purchase. Finally I decided to buy top model of Nutri Ninja but then I found that it was too big for my kitchen. Same was the case with Nutri Bullet. Finally I zeroed in on Nutribullet select blender and was about to place the order.

By chance, I came across Nutriforce extractor review. I checked the website and found that the latest model NutriForce extractor 2.0 was available but there were no reviews. Even for Nutriforce extractor there were only 2-3 reviews available on internet. I was in dilemma for weeks and finally I decided to trust the opinions on Productreview.com and give it a try to an Australian company so placed the order around midnight.

Once the order arrived, I told my wife straight away that it has 30 days money back guarantee so let me know if this doesn't work for you and I kept asking her almost every day for next 30 days but she said she doesn't want to return it. I tried being devil's advocate and told her that it can be used for maximum 60 seconds in one run which is a limitation but she said this blender is not required to run beyond 10 seconds. It's loud but performance is really good. There is a drawback that containers are not dish washer safe but it's not a big issue.

She is using it almost everyday for making puree or grinding dry fruits and completely satisfied with its performance. However, I have one complaint with froothie.com. Two day after I placed the order, I got one SMS that I can claim 5% discount if I order now. As I had already placed the order, I couldn't claim the discount.

All in all a great product!!!

Excellent Portable Blender – Product arrived fast.  Packaged well. Manual included.  Easy to follow.

power or cables needed.

Charges up by a phone charger.

Since purchasing on one charge I have got  at least 12 blends with the battery still having charge left on it.

Two issues to take note of -

You need to tap the power button 2x or it will not blend.

The next issue I had it would not blend! I saw full battery charge. Went all day still not able to blend. Then read the instructions.  It said if not screwed exactly tight enough on the base it will not blend!  I had removed the base for cleaning and then did not line it up exactly with the arrow.  I lined it up then it blended!

It is great for cleaning and drying as the bottom screws off.  That is a very good function.

It is excellent as can blend anywhere.  Carrying heavy blenders to your work place is not a good option.  Too noisy and too heavy..

It purees so can drink straight after it has been pureed.

My first trial was Tomatoes and Peanuts.  I did not take photos of this.

Half a tin of Tomatoes.  Blended to a pulp easily.  Then added a handful of Peanuts.  The Peanuts ground up but still had little  coarse bits.  So then in Coffee grinder ground up the Peanuts fine.  Then in the blender blended another half tin of Tomatoes.  Then added the ground Peanuts. Blended well to a Yoghurt consistency.  Can add some Onion and herbs or Garlic to taste.  Can use Brazil nuts, Cashew nuts or seeds instead of Peanuts to get a nice consistency. 

So if you usually carry away food already blended from home no need to now.  Take this blender and can blend on the spot just  before eating.  Takes 30 seconds to one minute...

I will attach photos of meals before blended, during blending and after finished. Used a little water to cover the blades. Put water in after filling the jar. With cut up fruit used no water.

Recommend trying the product.

Next new product I think that isneeded is a portable coffee grinder!  As this blender requires some liquid with it.  Coffee grinders use no liquid...

Love my Mini. A brilliant blender. I use it daily for my morning protein shakes and smoothies. Blends every thing smoothly. I also like its size as Ive taken it away on several weekend getaways and it's compact size is a bonus for space saving. Would highly recommend. Show details ·  1

Bought the Nutriforce to replace a 12 year old Nutri.......let. So far very happy. Far quieter than my previous small blender and having the option to choose low/high speed, pulse etc is handy. Is well made, looks nice and does what I wanted it to. All in all a good product. Show details ·  1

Nice and easy to use, small enough to take to work as it's very portable. I make a shake for breakfast and this is great, makes it all nice and creamy and smooth. Great colour and looks pretty on my bench. Cleans well and is easy to rinse, best rinsed straight after using as it will be much easier to clean. Show details ·  2

It took some time to get it set up properly. There were good instructions but lining up the magnet each time was tricky. Finally I decided when I had it right to not undo the base each time. Now I use it and wash it straight after. It works very well and the size is great so I am very happy I bought it. Show details ·  1

No regrets. It’s a powerful machine great for making smoothies on the go. I love the smart function where it initially pulses to let it settle before starting again and then gets every bit blended even from frozen before starting a longer high speed blend. Easy to clean. Show details ·  1

I am very happy with my purchase of the Optimum Nutriforce mini 600ml. The three blades plough through the ingredients to make a frothy and creamy textured smoothie. The design allows me to turn the receptacle upside down, remove the motor and screw on a flat bottom so I can store my delicious drink in the fridge. The lid has a spring loaded flip top and safety latch that reseals perfectly. Show details ·  1

Good blender but needs to replace parts every few months – Good blender but the blade unit only lasts about 5 months. We pushed the last one to 6 months but it ends up with the blender making a horrible noise. The blade unit is just not robust enough to withstand daily use. We only blend for max 10 seconds now for our smoothies. You always have to handwash the blade unit and never let water touch the back of it.
