I love this blender. Mainly use it for smoothies using frozen fruit and I love how they come out really smooth and creamy. I’ve just had to replace the jug as the bearings wore out after using the last jug for 2 years. I think this was due to sometimes not loading the ingredients in the correct order or not using enough liquid. I’ll be more careful with this in the future as replacement jugs are quite expensive. I could have just replaced the blades but the jug was looking quite cloudy, it feels nice to have a fresh jug. Excited to be able to use the blender again, was a bit hard having it out of action while I was waiting for the replacement jug!

I have had the 9200A for two years now. Device does everything that is stated and Froothie has been great with warranty. Repaired motor after an issue, no problem at all and repairs carried out quickly and efficiently. Had ordered an 8200 but Froothie offered a free upgrade to the 9200A on initial purchase. Blends far better than our previous Ninja blender, motor is so powerful. It handles all food types including ice so well. Had to recently buy a replacement jug as we somehow left a spoon in the jug and then turned the blender on. Jug broke, not in a dangerous manner, but everything else is in good order. Replacement jug is same great quality as blender. Very happy with our purchase.
Very happy with the blending ability, all sorts of fruit and vegetables go in it as well as seeds up to the size of pumpkin seeds from time to time. Larger items such as apples and oranges are best quartered before putting them in the jug, same with long-stemmed vegetables being sectioned. A jug full of solids is generally well blended in thirty seconds provided that adequate water is added. A minute of blending solids seems overkill, even with the jug filled. Liquids are never a problem. Every different thing I've put in the jug has blended well. If the jug had a wider pourer, that would be of benefit and while it's not too difficult for me to remove the lid, arthritic hands would benefit from flaps or little handles on the lid to facilitate easier removal. Ensure ... MoreVery happy with the blending ability, all sorts of fruit and vegetables go in it as well as seeds up to the size of pumpkin seeds from time to time.

If the jug had a wider pourer, that would be of benefit and while it's not too difficult for me to remove the lid, arthritic hands would benefit from flaps or little handles on the lid to facilitate easier removal. Ensure the lid is on properly and tight before blending if you need to walk away for a few moments while it blends. Keep the centre cap of the lid in place until the blender motor has fully stopped. Under the base of the jug where it sits on the blender, it is not vented and sometimes condensation can build up there when it's in the fridge, as careful as one can try to be. Some air holes there to alleviate condensation would be a good idea. The machine is a bit rowdy on the two higher speeds but it is what it is and gets the job done well in timely manner. The machine is used daily to re-blend different juices from bottles. When making a large batch which lasts a fortnight, the machine does a lot of work for a couple of hours and doesn't emit that "overheating electrical device" smell as some lesser blender brands are apt to do, some of them even burning out. Foods are cut as the job progresses and doing that allows the motor some cool-down time throughout the batch preparation. I've had the machine for a few years now.
I received this blender as a gift and was very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to use ! Such an amazing quality and performance. I lead a healthy lifestyle and I start my morning with a berry smoothie or just protein smoothie, how easy it is to use this blender ! This blender can also be used to make all different types of cream soups, delicious sauces and healthy drinks. I especially like the sensor panel on it and how quickly it does a job , in just 3 seconds is incredible! My 5 years old daughter loves to makes her banana smoothie, she said it so easy and fun to make own drinks. I recommend this blender to all my friends and family members, a great helper in the kitchen ! Absolutely love ❤️
I'm a long time Optimum blender user and absolutely love my 9200A. Mostly I make smoothies and various versions of fruit "nice cream" gelato, but I also use it for cashew-based cheese sauces, hommous and the final stage of pureed soup. Yes, it is a bit loud but it is SO VERY worth it. Everything comes out silky smooth. There is nary a berry seed in any of my smoothies, unless I want it that way!Though I've had this blender for nearly 4 years I'm writing the review now because I had an excellent experience with customer service recently. My blender stopped working, was making a weird noise and omitting rust from the bottom, so I thought it was all over -- I do use twice a day almost every day, after all.

My blender stopped working, was making a weird noise and omitting rust from the bottom, so I thought it was all over -- I do use twice a day almost every day, after all. I contacted the Froothie people to get a diagnosis of the issue, and they helped me figure out what was going on, then arranged getting a free replacement blade assembly to me, in addition to offering a great deal on a replacement jug if I wanted it (I did).This is great brand for raw vegans, smoothie fanatics, or anyone serious about their blending needs. And you can rest assured that the company will take care of you if anything goes wrong.Note that if you have hard water at home, I reckon you need to be extra careful in avoiding getting the bottom of the blender wet (which Froothie advises everyone do, anyway), as I believe that this is what went wrong in my case.
I previously owned a Vitamix, and wasn't even aware that there was an Australian equivalent until last year. So I've had my Optimum now for about 3 months and these are my thoughts. The Optimum outperforms the Vitamix, it's considerably cheaper than the Vitamix, it's quieter, and the jug doesn't move around on the base the way the Vitamix did. It's hands down the best blender I have owned, and I continue to try new recipes and experiment with ingredients. I regularly make nut butters, nut and oat milks, hummus, soup, frappes and grind nuts and seeds. When I'm finished making the creamiest peanut butter of all time, I add milk, coffee, yoghurt, ice and cocoa powder to the jug, to make the yummiest frappe of all time. This is the best way of getting all of that peanut ... MoreI previously owned a Vitamix, and wasn't even aware that there was an Australian equivalent until last year.

This is the best way of getting all of that peanut butter out of the jug! It blends both liquids and solids really well, and I've found that keeping the solids, e.g. nuts, to around 400gms, is the most efficient way to blend. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and I consider this a great investment, saving me time and allowing me to make my own products instead of buying things with added stabilisers and other ingredients.
In Awe!! So happy when my new Optimum 9200A 2nd Generation arrived today, I simply could not get it out of the box quick enough and put it to the test. Considering I ordered this on Thursday and it arrived Monday! Impressed with delivery.I had done a stack of research on varying brands and was grateful to come across the Froothie website and read all the amazing reviews and the fact they are here in Australia too. I was also pleasantly surprised at the affordable price tag compared to other models. All the comparisons left me wanting to purchase this model as soon as I could.Its incredibly fast and powerful, and much quieter in comparison to my previous blender. Easy to operate with the preset functions, clean and store and looks very snazzy sitting on my bench. ... MoreIn Awe!! So happy when my new Optimum 9200A 2nd Generation arrived today, I simply could not get it out of the box quick enough and put it to the test. Considering I ordered this on Thursday and it arrived Monday! Impressed with delivery.I had done a stack of research on varying brands and was grateful to come across the Froothie website and read all the amazing reviews and the fact they are here in Australia too. I was also pleasantly surprised at the affordable price tag compared to other models. All the comparisons left me wanting to purchase this model as soon as I could.Its incredibly fast and powerful, and much quieter in comparison to my previous blender. Easy to operate with the preset functions, clean and store and looks very snazzy sitting on my bench. Even my hubby was impressed.Super effortless to blend 1/2 a jug of kale, flaxseeds and frozen fruits into the creamiest smoothie. Kale was an overriding factor as we have this in our smoothies daily, so it had to be robust to chomp it down and that it certainly does.I can't wait to get creative using my new Optimum 9200A 2nd Generation, it now takes pride of place in my kitchen and will be used daily.Well worth the reasonable investment into this exceptional appliance. Love it and highly recommended.
I love this. Am sitting here after a breakfast of a smoothie with banana, frozen blueberries, pepito and sunflower seeds, collagen powder and water, and it is really smooth after 20 seconds of blending. I use it almost every day and it is a wonder for blending soups which previously were such a pain with lumps remaining and having to be twice blended. I have had it for 6 months now and it is just amazing. I am sure there are many other ways I could use it but for the moment this is plenty useful. It is powerful, fast,easy to clean and use. I have the smaller jug when I am making smoothies for two, the larger one for soup batches. Yes, it is loud. I keep a set of earmuffs in the kitchen for all my appliances, and I do need them for this. I highly recommend this and ... MoreI love this.
