Optimum 9400

10+ years still going strong! – This blender deserves a review after using mine almost daily for 10+ years now! I originally wanted to invest in a decent blender for my smoothies and other recipes such as almond milk, grinding oats, pancake batters etc. I was comparing with the vitamix at the time and didn’t want to invest that much money, so I opted for the optimum 9400 1st gen… Read more ·  1

and it’s still going strong! It came with a 5 year warranty at the time, which I had to submit for a repair once after almost 5 years. I think it was something to do with the motor, I can’t remember. But the team were super friendly and helpful to take it to my local repairer. And then I’ve still got another 5 or so years out of it! Seriously the best investment for a high quality, everyday blender without breaking the bank. Highly recommended and will upgrade with an optimum by Froothie again! Thank you so much!

Had an optimum 9200 for many years starting to get noisy so I decided to upgrade. I wanted something that could do pretty much everything. So I went with the optimum 9400 essentials. I like the compact size, the glass jug and the steel grinding jug. It would’ve been nice if the chopper jug was in glass also. Housing and controls not as solid as… Read more ·  1

my previous mixer but it definitely seems more powerful with a lot more options. If it came with a glass chopper jug and the controls and housing was a bit more heavy duty, I would’ve given it a five star review. However overall really happy with this purchase and would recommend.

Really happy with this blender! It’s powerful, blends everything smoothly and makes food preparation so much easier. Easy to use, easy to clean, and feels like great quality. Definitely happy with my purchase! Show reply

Froothie 9400x – I’m very happy with my purchase. My only criticism is that it must be turned off at the wall. I was covered in soapy water when I didn’t put the lid on securely and had trouble getting to the wall switch. It still has a smell even though I have used it daily. But as for its blending ability it’s fabulous. Show reply

works very well but has a strange electrical smell when operating Show details ·  1

I have a small Vitamix which has been great but is no longer large enough to accomodate the family. Before buying a bigger version I decided to do some research and came across Froothie which led me to discover the Optimum 9400X commercial blender. After looking at all the information about it along with the excellent reviews I decided I had… Read more ·  1

everything to gain by trying one. I bought one together with the sound cover and the extended warranty and still saved more than $400- on the cost of the Vitamix. It is honestly one of the best purchases I've made. Making smoothies, which we do daily, has never been so quick and easy. Most of the time I don't even need the tamper because the design is so good the food just seems to automatically move of its own accord. Our smoothies contain everything from fresh fruit and green leaves to ice and frozen fruit and it doesn't hesitate. I wouldn't say the blender is very noisy but the sound cover definitely makes a difference. At this early stage I haven't yet used it for anything else so I'm looking forward to soup season as the weather cools down as well as exploring other uses too. I would definitely recommend this product and wouldn't hesitate to buy another based on our current experience.

Expensive mistake based on high reviews – There are better products on the market. I have this blender for some time now so my review will be honest despite the fact that this company pushes you to write a review literally straight after the purchase when you have no idea how the product performs. This is one of the reasons why the Froothie has such a high reviews because people fall into… Read more

their commercial trap misleading potential buyers. High reviews do not reflect the reality. Only one good thing the blender really does is blending. Wow! Isn't it supposed to do it? Well, yes! But... 1. When it works. 2. Does not have safety mechanism for the lid. On bad terms you can blend your fingers. Safety mechanism is available in majority blenders on the market. This feature is paramount when you have children. 3. RRP is massively inflated. They have a lot of room for artificial price offers. When blender was on repairs I bought Ninja blender wich was third of the price, having plenty more features. Now we mostly use Ninja, belive me or not. BTW, do not buy Blender cover even if you got into the idea of buying from them. 4. Aesthetics - blender looks like from 70s or 80s. And "creme de la creme"... 5. Design of the jug - nightmare?! When you blend for a smoothie there in NO chance to not spill it. The jug does not have proper shape to pour liquid into your desired container. You spill every single time and then smoothie leaks on the jug's side wall?! 6. Warranty is a joke. When you send blender for inspection/repairs you pay fixed $25 shipping rate. You must send ALL parts! So we did. However, they did not send back the tamper and they blamed me for not sending it which is huge nonsense!! They couldn't find it in their workshop so it was easy to blame us for not sending it. Very convenient isn't it? Then they politely send a link how we can obtain a new one. Which we did because we didn't have a choice. $25 tamper + $9 shipping. But this is nothing... The main reason why we send the blender for repairs was that the blender simply did not work. It turned out that the jug had tiny "pin" broken which activates blender's base by pushing pin into the base. Warranty was rejected because they asked us whether we used the blender in the dishwasher. I was honest and said that it was in the dishwasher to remove residue/sediment and odour from the jug. This residue accumulates overtime whether you like it or not. Again, it was very convenient for the Froothie to reject the warranty and blame customer. We needed to pay for repair of the tiny pin - another $144. And again... had no choice. How would you justify that the "pin" was broken by having the jug once in the dishwasher? Overall, super expensive snd not safe blender, horrific marketing strategies using customers naivety by taking the bait of exitment (high reviews pushed by Froothie).

I’ve been loving my 9400 3rd Gen blender, it’s allowed me to really get creative in the kitchen and make beautiful dishes. I’ve used it for nut butters, soups, dips and even aioli. It’s powerful, easy to use and store. Highly recommend. Show reply

An amazing smoothie blender for regular home use, delivers smooth creamy outputs even with seeds/nuts or hard greens. Easy as to clean. Also purchased the garlic peeler and small chopper jug, which performs reasonably well for quick chopping items.Only improvement would be to suggest giving an easier set of dial+ buttons to operate than everything… Read more ·  1

in just one dial. The glass jar is heavy but good to have a plastic-free component.

The only little con is the very loud sound, so if you have a sleeping baby/oldies in the house, it can startle easily.

Moving from Thermomix - Nutri Bullet - Froothie Optimum 9400. Works well. Happy with glass jug option. Not happy that extras can't be purchased after initial outlay of base unit...even within 1 week Happy to report support service have now assisted me . Show details ·  1

Had a Magmix blender for 9 years which finally died, so thought I'd try a different brand / model in the same price point with a glass jug. Very few options around, and the Optimum was the only one at the same price, however after receiving it, the parts and construction are very light, everything is plastic except for the jug, in fact it's so… Read more

light it needs suction cups to hold it on the kitchen bench. Performance was really no different to the Magimix, even though it carries a much higher wattage motor. And after trying it a couple of times, I was convinced this thing was not going to go the distance (flimsy plastic clipping mechanism to lock in the jug, these are prone to breaking over time). There's a 10 year warranty you can purchase for an additional $110 (Magimix has 30 years included), but that would have made it much more expensive. So ended up buying a new Magimix instead.

New machine arrived promptly but it didn't work. Did not get back to me after making a complaint - I had to chase Froothie up.

You can close your eyes and buy this blender.the appearance is appeasing.and also gives you the finest results you need.you can control the speed how you like it depending on the result you want.i was using different blender to blend hard ingredients I never get the result I got from my 9400x blender . In all am very happy with my baby in the house.i recommend it 100%. Show reply

I am 82 years of age with chronic pancreatitis from medication wrongly prescribed over 8 years which caused multiple episodes of pancreatitis. Consequently I have a swallowing problem and bought the Smoothie Blender to enable me to prepare chicken breast together with salmon and fresh vegies in a palatable condition that I can swallow well. It is working very well for me and I couldn't wish for anything better than the Smoothie Blender. Show details ·  1

Great for smoothies and even making curry pastes. Customer service was top notch when I had an issue with my initial purchase, the team were very responsive and had me sorted ASAP Show details ·  1

Fits on my first gen Optimum 9400. It's different from my previous jug, the plastic base is now metal, and the shape is different, but it works well and gets the job done. Show details ·  1

After buying cheaper blenders which didn't last very long I purchased this because of the 5 year domestic warranty. I am very pleased with the quality & would highly recommend this brand. Show details ·  1
