The Optimum brand is a collaboration of various well-respected manufacturers and suppliers, as well as Optimum Appliance's exclusive factory in Taiwan, made using the highest-quality parts designed to outlast and outperform expectations.
What makes a great blender is the quality of the parts used in the manufacturing process. Optimum prides itself for attention to detail, no inroads to cut costs jeopardising the quality and durability of the machine. This is demonstrated by the unrivalled 10-year warranty supported by Australia-wide service centres.
The commercial-grade Optimum is sponsored and used by various organisations and franchises, having appeared on various media channels including Channel 7, Channel 9, USA Herald, Indy Posted and Segment gaining recognition as one of Australia's most respected brands.

The blender comes with a unique No Questions Asked 1-Month Money Back Guarantee, where we organise and pay for the return of the product if unsatisfied, further demonstrating our confidence in the blender's quality and performance. - Motor
The most important component of a blender is the power of the motor. The Optimum has an extraordinary 3 Horse Power motor (2,238 Watts) able to easily withstand the toughest ingredients and outlast most other domestic blenders. The Optimum can quickly and easily emulsify fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and ice into a silky smooth texture which can be used to make soups, ice cream, nut butters and sauces. At a ground-breaking speed of up to 44,000 rpm the Optimum can also be used to grind grains and crush ice.
For Commercial use, unlike other purely domestic blenders, the powerful commercial-grade motor of the Optimum can easily withstand the heavy-duty use of juice bars and cafes. At 2,238 Watts, coupled with the 20, 35 and 45 second blending options, making smoothies and milkshakes is a simple easy task for this durable commercial blender. The Carbon Brush self-compensating motor makes for not only an efficient use of energy, but also a quieter blending experience that cannot be offered by most other high performance blenders. What's more is that because the motor cools better, it also lasts longer.
- Blades
The Optimum's blade assembly, a custom-alloy assemblage of special stainless steel manufactured to its finest in Japan and Taiwan, was purpose built for a quicker, smoother and more effective synthesis of ingredients. the Optimum consists of a unique 6-blade assembly, allowing it to evenly blend even the thickest of foods. The uniquely angled blades are designed to prevent any dense foods from getting jammed and creating a vacuum at the bottom of the jug.
The assembly is securely bolted to a shaft which connects to the bottom blade gear - a feature which then acts as the point of connection for the drive socket when the fully assembled jar and blade set is placed atop the Optimum motor. The six blades are a multipurpose assemblage allowing the Optimum's user to combine both wet and dry ingredients with both ease and efficiency. This superior and multi-faceted blade extends the capabilities of the Optimum far beyond the realms of other competitors, and makes for an otherwise unmatched blending experience.
- Durability
While ordinary blenders have a fan motor that runs at maximum power at all times, leading to rapid motor burn out, the Optimum uses a proprietary carbon brush motor optimised to only use the power demanded - so you get a motor life of decades rather than months. This component is one reason Froothie offers clients the option for a 10-Year Warranty, supported by Athena Solutions Pty Ltd as well as the manufacturer Optimum Appliances Australia.
In addition to such feats, the Optimum's motor has an overload protection fault switch, ensuring that the motor is protected against overload damage. This goes above and beyond the overheat protection thermos found on most commercial grade blenders, as it means one can continue blending without having to first wait for the motor to cool down after overheating and switching off. And with a technology unrivalled by other high performance blending machines, the Optimum's Carbon Brush motor is the ultimate in blending motorisation for both those who are interested in its use within a commercial setting and/or a personal one.
Recent tests have also shown the Optimum to be quieter than competition with a noise level of only 90 decibels, a very important feature when being used in a family home or a quiet café/restaurant. A newly introduced sound cover can further reduce the noise level by an additional 50% to under 40 decibels, making the Optimum the industry's quietest blender!
- Optimum vs. Vitamix
The Vitamix TNC 5200, as well as other Vitamix models, is a high-quality blender with a very strong reputation. Competing with such a brand on a global stage is difficult to say the least, especially for a new entrant in the industry.
To counter this disadvantage, Optimum© has teamed up with globally recognised manufacturers to create a truly unique and powerful blender, while also providing clients the best assurance possible: A 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, No Questions Asked, with free return postage. This has led to tremendous success for the Optimum brand with demand highly exceeding all expectations.
At the top of this page you will see a factual comparison between the Vitamix TNC 5200 and the Optimum. It is for you to decide which blender to purchase. If you have any questions we will be more than happy to offer you honest advice, simply contact us here. We can assure you of one thing: Anything the Vitamix can make, whether that is a hot soup, a green smoothie or smooth nut butter, the Optimum can also achieve with no hassles.
- Commercial Use
Trusted by juice bars and cafes around the country, including franchises such Wendy's and Gloria Jeans, the Optimum blender has cemented its position as a durable commercial appliance manufactured by world-class factories (ISO9000 and ISO9001 certified) using the highest-quality parts.
The Optimum is designed to consistently mix the most popular drinks, unattended, in a matter of seconds. The three automatic mixing programs allow you to blend almost any drink at the touch of a button. Each program combines the right speed and timing to produce perfectly blended and homogenised drinks with no icy chunks.
The Optimum is equipped with a self-compensating energy-efficient motor which can reach a power of 2,238 Watt and a staggering speed of 44,000 rpm. The hammer-forged stainless steel 6-blade assembly is perfect for crushing ice in seconds to make the best smoothies and milkshakes. The motor is self-compensating, leading to reduced electricity consumption allowing the blender to withstand the heavy duty use of cafes and juice bars. To protect the motor from over-heating, the Optimum is also equipped with a shut-off switch ideal for juice bars seeking a long-lasting reliable blender.
The Optimum, which already runs quieter than most competition, can also be purchased with a sound-reducing cover which can reduce the noise level to under 20 decibels, significantly lower than most competition.
- The Manufacturers
The Optimum© factory is based in Taiwan, Australian-owned; more information here: www.optimum-appliances.com.

Each blender is tested for 5 minutes before being sent to Froothie for sale to customers, ensuring strict Quality Control measures.
Optimum Appliances has also teamed up with 3rd party manufacturers with decades-long reputations responsible for manufacturing parts for some of the industry's most-respected brands.
All manufacturers make use of state of the art equipment and engineering, with most parts being of either German, Taiwanese or Japanese origin. So much is certainly evident within the high grade stainless steel used for several of the Optimum's components, as well as in the self-compensating and highly energy efficient motor.
