Optimum Vortex Blender V.S. NutriBullet - Verified 3rd Party Testimonials
Best Blenders and Slow Juicers on the market today!
Froothie Optimum blenders and slow juicers are absolutely the best quality you could ever expect to buy! …I have the Optimum 9400 Blender + the Optimum 400 slow juicer.
If you were thinking if buying the Vitamix blender.... I suggest that you reconsider and opt to buy the Froothie Optimum blender if your choice instead. You only need to watch one of the many FROOTHIE TV demo videos on youtube, to see what these powerful blenders can do and make! Icecreams, nut butters, smoothies, soups, freshly ground flours, bread dough... the list just goes on and on! Super easy to clean and store under bench in cupboards if you so chose to. Or keep on bench top and display proudly! …Vitamix, Nutribullet etc, just can not compare to Froothie, full stop!
Optimum 9200A - My treat, just for me.
After a fair bit of research into the nutribullet I'm glad I came across recommendations for the Optimum blenders. I'm a working mum so my needs are often left on the backburner while I focus on everything else and my health has suffered greatly so I placed my order and it was delivered to my regional address the very next day. I love that now I can prep and freeze the ingredients for green smoo thies for super quick breakfasts when I'm running late instead of stopping at the local grease shop for a quick takeaway, I love that I can save a fortune making my own almond milk/almond flour etc, I love that I can use it for cooking and baking, I love that it makes naughty frozen cocktails for hard-earned Friday night drinks but most of all I love how simple it is to clean! That's why I've not had a blender, or even a juicer before as I've heard how hard they are to clean, even though the implied convenience appealed to me. I hope it will be with me for the rest of my days as after 2 weeks I'm not sure I can live without it.
Absolutely Fantastic!!
Had a Nutribullet, and liked it, but this tops it by far! More functionality and better smoothies. Even made batter for pancakes and was so easy!
Optimum 9400 - Absolutely brilliant blender
Being a big fan of healthy smoothies purely from a nutrition point of view, I have invested a lot of money in various brands out there in the market like the Nutri Ninja with auto iQ, Nutri Bullet, OmniBlend and can confidently say that they are no match for the raw power and finish that an Optimum 9400 gives. Simply awesome product compounded with fabulous support by the Froothie team, I have introduced 3 of my friends to this product and they too have not a word of complain about it.
I just love our 9400!!
We purchased a 9400 in December, we use it everyday and the whole family just loves it! A friend has purchased one too because it is so good! I highly recommend this product and have been telling everyone about! Look online at the video which compares the 9400 against the Nutri Bullet! You won't look at anything else!
Excellent!
This 9400 blender is fantastic. It blends almonds into milk within 30 seconds and makes delicious healthy smoothies. … I was looking at the NutriBullet but I'm so glad I got this one. Don't be indecisive about buying it, you won't be disappointed.
Has become a life changer
You have to own one to appreciate how these machines work. Owning a cheaper version of a nutribullet and knowing that this device spins at 10,000 RPM there is simply no comparison when it comes to blending ANYTHING! …I would strongly recommend this machine in fact I bought one after my daughter purchased one!
Makes the best smoothies I have ever tasted!!
Brought this after looking at a few different models, including the Nutri Bullet and the like. Read a bunch of reviews and bit the bullet so to speak (no pun intended!!) and splashed out on the 9400. What a purchase!! From the very first smoothie, I was making them like a professional.... My girlfriend has one of the cheaper brande d blenders and just loves to use my one when she comes over.... All in all, one of the top appliances in my kitchen, buy one and you will definitely not regret it.
One week out and very impressed
I bought this to replace a melted Nutribullet. I was worried about the difference in size and whether or not a blender would be able to achieve smooth smoothies. I needn't have worried. Everything that was claimed in the reviews I read before buying seems to hold true … I couldn't be more pleased. I don't regret the purchase at all.
Outstanding Blender. Amazing juices, fabulous cocktails.
Purchased the blender as an alternative to the Nutri Bullet - does not disappoint. Great fresh juices that blends up seeds and pips easily. Also makes the best summer cocktails making easy work of ice. Great accompaniment to the kitchen.
A must for a raw foodie
The Optimum 9400 easily out does the Ninja and Nutribullet my friends have. Nutribullet doesn't compare at all. Very happy customer. :)
Impeccable 5 star service and product! There is no other choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I have done a lot or research into blenders. Sad to say we bought a Nutri bullet, which blew up on first use, with grey matter coming out of the bottom of it, excitement turned to being deflated and the hassle of shipping it back. Thankfully they refunded it and no one was injured… Froothie, has a great - online chat - in which I was able to ask questions. They were knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. With a good sense of humour! I didn't feel like I was talking to someone with a call centre script. The blender itself is stylish, easy to use clean and durable... I can't remember having a better all-round experience and would recommend the Optimum 9400 and Froothie hands down. Thank you!
Best investment ever!
I purchased my 9400 after extensive research and comparing many products including the Vitamix and Nutri bullet and the 30 day money back guarantee meant I had nothing to lose by trying the 9400 out…. Such a great product with so many capabilities and I can’t wait to experiment with it more and more.
Needed a kick start to better health
We researched products on the market: thermomix, nutribullet other popluar blenders and the and came out on top for all major features. We purchased one a few weeks ago and its been the kick start we needed to eating healthier and claiming better health. The kids love it too!
Makin Life easier
I was about to buy the Nutri Bulliet but I had a Ninja blender & also a stick blender & I struggled with all these & wanted something that had the power, quality and speed to do the things in the kitchen that would make life a little easier & discovered Optimum. I use it for smoothies, making soups, deserts, nut butters. and anything that requires blending. Try this you won't be disappointed!!
Worth Every Dollar!!!!!
Having previously owned a nutribullet I sold that to purchase my optimum vortex blender 9400 and I am so glad I did. I have made so many delicious things I was always unable to do in the nutribullet and the speed and power is 1000x better. Couldn't recommend it anymore.
Amazing vortex blender and service from Froothie
I originally thought a Nutribullet or Ninja would be what I would end up with but after reading review on those products I realised the quality is just not there and the price in Australian dollars is ridiculous.
My favourite kitchen appliance!
I personally looked at getting the nutribullet, ninja and vitamix. Buying from an Australian owned and operated company with a 5 years domestic or optional 10 years domestic warranty definitely helped me make the right decision. 30 day hassle free returns also means you have nothing to lose. Give it a go. It will quickly become your favourite appliance.
A machine that actually works
I was, I must say a little dubious when I unpacked this machine having previously owned a Nutribullet that just up and died after 3 months. My worries were unfounded. Wow wow wow..... what an amazing machine and well worth the money.
Buy this one - MORE POWER!!!
Based on the research I did I quickly ditched the Nutribullet dream and decided I needed something better. As Jeremy Clarkson would say MORE POWER!!! We did so much research my husband became passiona te about getting a high powered vortex blender and quickly became motivated to utilise it to increase our fruit and vegetable intake.
wow..I just love it
I already had a NutriBullet and there's no comparison...why? Well for starters you can only run the bullet for a short time before it overheats... You can't put anything hot in it and it's much to small.
Optimally Perfect
Believe the reviews, don't waste time and money on other products (I have tried a few including the Nutri Bullet and Ladyship), and be assured that whilst the Optimum Vortex Blender 9400 is amazingly priced in the mid range, it offers first class service and food preparation unrivalled by no other.
Great for the whole family – and better than a nutribullet!
I was initially tempted by the concept of the nutribullet (which had lots of negative reviews when I looked into it), but am so relieved I went with froothie which is so much more versatile and appears to be of much higher quality (eg metal parts where nutribullet is plastic).
Optimum 8200 is a "Rocket" compared to the Nutri-"bullet"
I personally believe this Optimum 8200 was a blessing in disguise as i did not know it even existed only came across an add while looking at reviews about the Nutri-bullet.....
Awesome vortex blender
Never eaten so much kale in my life. Truly blitz's it and u can't noticed very smooth. Check out other brands with their plastic bits the optimum 8200 has metal where it counts and I'm sure it will last for years and years.
BIG powerful vortex blender for very little price and the BEST decision I ever made.
After initially wanting to buy a Nutribullet I decided to do some research on it and came across the Froothie site quite by accident. After reading reviews looking at the quality components and features I decided that for the same price I could forego all the unnecessary freebies of frying pans and knife sets and pay what equates to a little amount of money for a top quality product.
her name is winnie.
Its short for winning . I love this vortex blender! I almost bought a nutribullet. . But so glad I didn't this thing is powerful its sturdy it literally tales less time to clean than to blend and I love her so much I have her a name.
Awesome Vortex Blender
Purchased this vortex blender after my Nutribullet motor blew up. Smoke came out of the unit and everything. This Vortex Blender is amazing and lightyears ahead of the Nutribullet and it even cost less. I've used it for smoothies so far but am excited about all my options :)
Awesome vortex blender. Has changed our lives.
We initially thought of a NutriBullet but all the reviews and specs made the optimum a better choice. And for half the price of a vitamix you can't go wrong.

I have spent a lot of money over the past few years trying to find a blender that was multi-functional and was able to do everything that I needed in order to be creative in the kitchen. I have already successfully made delicious banana ice creams, nut milks and soups with this blender and I can honestly say when I first switched it on I was blown away by its power! It made me jump initially! It really can shred up anything and make it into a fine liquid.…"Read More” -

“"It has automatic blending options, which means you don’t have to hover over your morning smoothie when there are so many other things to be done. It can be set to low, medium or high speed and includes a pulse function……….. I’ve put it through its paces a few times and conducted a number of tests, all of which it passed with flying colours. When I made a raw chocolate and goji berry smoothie, it was impossible to detect even a tiny bit of goji berry. Our kale blended to a fine green juice and a couple of other ingredients I wasn’t sure about had similarly successful results. I will be posting some of the things I’ve made in due course…."Read More” -

And it can grind grains to make flour. But this blender can do both dry and wet ingredients in the same container, rather than you having to faff about with separate ones….."Read More” -

“"The Optimum 9200A Next Gen is a high-speed blender which creates delicious fruit smoothies with ease, but it doesn't stop there; I've made green smoothies and banana ice cream in it, and this blender has managed it all perfectly. My previous blender didn't cope with frozen ingredients and tougher greens very well, so I'd usually end up with annoying lumps of frozen fruit or unpleasant bits of kale in my smoothies; the Optimum 9200A, however, has no difficulty with those things at all so I end up with ultra smooth drinks every time. That's not all it does though - it also has the ability to grind nuts and grains for flour, crush ice and make nut butters, hot soups, spreads and dips! Before discovering this blender I'd been toying with the idea of buying a Vitamix for a few months (well, a year actually!) but the Optimum 9200 actually rivals the Vitamix Pro 500 in terms of performance…."Read More” -

“"One of the reasons I love my blender so much is because it’s so simple to clean. I have very little energy, and while I do think making sure I eat well is important, if I don’t have the energy to make something and then clean up, I’m just not going to do it. Here, all I need to do is throw my ingredients into the large 2l jug, blend, pour and enjoy. To clean, all I do is fill halfway with warm water, add a squirt of Ecover washing up liquid and blend on high for about a minute and then rinse. I’d highly recommend the Froothie Optimum 9200A blender for anyone who’s looking to get some serious blending action going on in the kitchen – it’s such a versatile piece of equipment and performs so many functions, that it is definitely invaluable to me…."Read More” -

The bar was high for me since it’s not my first time owning a high performance blender, but my first impressions of the Optimum 9200A are great. It does everything my other blender does and it’s so quiet. Gone are the days of questioning if it’s appropriate to make a smoothie or soup at 2am (I live in a block of flats) when I wake up starving and don’t want to wait until real people hours to eat…."Read More” -

The list of what you can do and make in one of these blenders is astounding…….. So far, I have made a curd and this sauce in my Froothie, and both have turned out well – with the curd being an absolute winner, as the machine cooks the eggs as it blends – that recipe will be on Lavender and Lovage in a few days. But back to today’s recipe – as you can see from the photo collage above, I simply chucked all the ingredients in the large 2 litre Froothie jug, blended the sauce for UNDER a minute and voilà, I was rewarded with a spicy, creamy and delicious enchilada sauce for all my Mexican cooking…"” -

“"My new Froothie 9200 is the sixth blender I have owned in less than 2 years. I’m not kidding……...This thing is a game changer. I use it so much each day and even plan my meals around what I can use the blender for! It is not just a smoothie machine – this incredibly durable and powerful machine can do so much. I use it to chop vegetables, make nut milks and creams, make date paste, grind flours, mix cake batter, even to knead bread dough and of course the most deliciously creamy smoothies in seconds. And no gradual placing ingredients, just dump it all in, press one of the really simple to use pre-programmed speed buttons (20, 35 & 45 seconds) or speed settings (high, medium, low & pulse) and voila, creamy smoothie ready to pour whilst you do other things. It’s truly a pleasure. There is no need to pre-soak nuts or seeds for blending and the specially designed blade means everything will be blended and nut butters can be whipped up in the same jar without need for a special attachment. The speed creates so much friction heat that you can actually cook ingredients in it without a special heating element! How cool is that? Simply add fresh ingredients like ripe tomatoes and seasonings and blend for a few minutes to have hot tomato soup ready! And as a bonus, it even cleans itself! Simply add hot water and a drop of dish soap and use on the 20 second function then rinse!"Read More” -

- As a vegan I love simple and healthy smoothies with whole fruits, nuts, dates and greens. My previous vortex blender could only make these ingredients into a rough-ie! The Optimum blends them perfectly in no time. Plus it looks great, its not noisy and its incredibly easy to clean. The Optimum rocks!
Jacqui Edgecombe (String Fever Pty Ltd Croydon, VIC) - Hi Roy and the team at Athena Solutions, I would like to say that I have received my Optimum and the help and support from your team has been really reassuring. The vortex blender has truly performed well. It blends beautifully, makes great smoothies and even hot soup. I have had a Vita-mix from my daughter while deciding which vortex blender to purchase and the Optimum has been just as good, doing all that the Vita-mix does, so I am very happy with the result and the price is much more attractive, with the same 10 year warranty. Thanks so much
Rosetta and Danco Ilic (Rouse Hill, NSW) - I would like to thank you firstly for your wonderful customer service. Right from the start you were most helpful with all information and advice I had asked for. Also I appreciate how easily contactable your company is.
Secondly I would like to say how happy I am with the Optimum. I was previously using a standard vortex blender that was brand new out of the box and after one month of using it, it had blown up. I make quite a lot of smoothies and needed something more durable. After using the Optimum for the first time I was so happy with how quick and easy it was. The smoothie's come out so smooth and creamy and taste great. It saves me time and makes it more appealing to use on a regular basis. I can whip things up in no time at all and I find myself wanting to make more. I absolutely love it and have been bragging about it since I got it.
I'm drinking a smoothie as we speak that I whipped up this morning. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face this morning because I blended a whole bunch of stuff and it was so quick and easy which makes it so much more appealing as like everyone else, I'm so busy and time is so precious.
My friend was also interested in purchasing a new vortex blender, after seeing my new Optimum, she purchased the same one the next day. Im sure anyone who purchases the Optimum will be extremely happy as I am.
Thank you again.
Kind Regards

Amanda Ahern (Port Macquarie, NSW) - I Love my Optimum!! I'd like to say a big thank you for the sale of such a great machine, I love my vortex blender so much it's had me eating so much healthier.
Laura Exarhos (Yarralumla, ACT) - Hi I just received vortex blender, It felt very light in the box and I was worried that it must be small, when I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the base. Next I couldn't wait to try it out to see if it was any good, so I tried my favourite test banana milk shake, no fuss… broke up big pieces of banana with 200 ml of milk blended for 35 sec; well I am impressed, no sign at all of any residue, that's the best result I have ever had, and in only 35 seconds. Very impressed, can't wait to try cocktails this weekend.
PS. Easy to clean, put some water in, turn on 10 seconds, tip out and drain on bench.
Anthony Butler (Bendigo, VIC) - I am thrilled to let you know that the vortex blender arrived today! It's absolutely fantastic! I really appreciate the excellent customer service I've received - I won't hesitate to recommend the Optimum or Froothie/Athena Solutions to everyone I know!
Thanks very much for your help, Rebecca
Rebecca and Philip Davis (Ranelagh, Tasmania) - Dear Roy
I received my vortex blender (delivered at work) on Thursday. My whole office knew it was coming - I couldn't contain my excitement in the build-up. On my lunch break I ran off to the markets and grabs some vegetable and fruit ingredients to blend. The anticipation was high. I blended two juices to share with my colleagues; one an incredible Popeye drink of cucumber, green apple, ginger, mint, lime and spinach, the other papaya, mango, grapes and mint. Both were delicious and amazingly smooth in texture.
I couldn't wait to get it home and try blending with ice. Once home I did another vegetable juice, a fruit frappe and a Freddo Espresso. Now if you don't know what this is there's a picture below. Simply a shot or two of espresso, sugar or honey and ice blended smooth. Amazing!
I'm chuffed with the Optimum and can't wait to try more recipes! So please send me the PDF as it's available.
I'm yet to try grounding our coffee beans or making almond paste but I will and report back on how it goes. The almond paste will be a special one if I nail it. It's inspired by Amalou - a spread made from Argan nuts in Morocco - the same nuts that are pressed for cosmetic Moroccan oil. It has nuts, cinnamon and I think tahini in it.
So thank you very much.
Tina Loppacher (Haymarket, NSW) - Yeah, so far it's great. I used it the very first day to make a composite nut butter of almonds, cashews and brazil nuts. And I did all that on the lowest speed. I liked the way the vortex actually moved the entire viscous mix up the sides and down the centre until it was all smooth. There are other makes that won't do that with viscous pastes as parts get stuck on the walls and corners.
Andrew Healey (Mansfield, Queensland) - Hi Mario,
Yes all good. I am impressed with the vortex blender .. it's more like what I wanted compare to the previous machine.. this one is very much like the vitamix.
nice to have some programs but good to be able to just turn it on and let it run for a long or short as I like. blending is very smooth.. thanks again for all your help
Kurt Vogt (Caringbah, NSW) - This vortex blender is Fantastic. A friend of my wife's has the VITAMIX 5200, and she was very impressed with the quality and the price!
Michael Connolly-Greig (West Pymble, NSW) - Because my partner works away from home for longish periods and we are so happy with the Optimum we are buying another one so we both have one to use every day!
Fiona Crowe (Nedlands, WA) - Hi Roy,
Just letting you know I LOVE the our vortex blender. I couldn't believe how quick it was delivered! I basically make green smoothies for breakfast since being inspired by the literature that is around. I must say I am a complete convert! The smoothies are smooth and creamy and my breakfast takes less than 30 seconds to blend.
Yours in Froothie heaven,
Harlene Hercules (Ormond, Victoria NSW) -
