After receiving an inquiry from a customer, we made this page to demonstrate the differences between the Optimum and the cheap Polycool commercial blender advertised heavily since 2014. The Plycool blender is advertised as a commercial grade blender with a 1,600 Watt motor. We advertise this page to inform customers of the quality shortfalls of the parts and build of the blender.
“Hi. Bought an identically looking unit branded as Polycool from Mytopia some time back - at a much lower cost. However it only lasted around 6 months before seal at base gave out and it now just leaks bad. Also suspect motor bearings are pretty well shot. Mind you it was used mainly at high speed setting for around 6 minutes each day to make smoothie blends. So you are saying your offing is of markedly superior quality - despite identical exterior design?” - Kevin Nolan

I use my blender daily to make a green smoothie pre-workout. I also use it to make protein balls and it can handle nuts and dates without any issues. It's wonderful and has a lot of great features. No need for a Vitamix or Thermamix when you have this one!
5 out of 5, reviewed on Mar 13, 2015
After much internet research, my wife and I decided on the Optimum over the overly priced Vitamix and we are super happy about our decision. We are smoothie junkies and love how smooth and creamy the Optimum makes every smoothie no matter what we toss in there, kale, nuts, chia, protein powders, etc. Also makes great nut butters.
