I was sent this very snazzy looking blender from Froothie to review, and I am a very happy cook indeed!
We had one of the original Froothie blenders for over a year, I've loaned it to the local Church cafe where it's used very regularly, and it's still going strong. I was very interested to see what features the new model has, and whether it would stand up to heavy use in our family kitchen.
The new Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender is unique in that it has a pre-blending vacuum function which minimises oxidation and destruction of nutrients in juices and smoothies. This means that if I made juices and smoothies the night before, they're still lovely and fresh the next morning retaining most of their original colour, texture and taste with minimal nutrient loss. This is a brilliant feature for a busy family like ours. I can make breakfast smoothies the night before, and clean the blender too, so we can just grab and devour the tasty smoothies in the morning.
The blender has four diffferent pre-sets for quick jobs - Smoothie, Nuts, Veg and Fruits, and Soup. There's a handy guide to each function in the instruction booklet. You can of course just use it as you want without using the presets or the vacuum function.
As well as the instruction manual the blender comes with two spare air valves, a tamper to help the blending process, and a recipe book containing mainly vegan recipes.
I've made seed butters, nut butters, countless smoothie and juices, sauces and soups. It's a really powerful machine, and as you'd expect makes a bit of noise when blending but that's fairly standard with this type of blender. It's a proper workhorse in our kitchen, so useful and I use it often. Really handy during the heatwave for blending frozen fruits to make slushies, sorbets, etc.

Nice review. I'm loving the vacuum function. You've reminded me I really must go and find my additional valve thingies. I was so keen to try the blender when I first got it, I didn't unpack the box properly.
