dammit!!! i was hoping you'd come back and tell me it was the $17 model! Sometimes, I'm too cheap for my own good...

Cheap **** just breaks.

Cheap **** just breaks.

i know...i know...and yet i still get them, hoping that I will get the one that outlasts all others!

you'd have to do some SERIOUS selling to get me to buy a blender for $55!

for example...we will make a smoothie in our "traditional blender" and it's enough for at least 3, if not 4 servings. On the website you mentioned, that little cup looks like it would only hold 1, maybe 2.

Oh, and for comparison, the one that blew up the other cost $13. Guess you get what you pay for! And, if the one Newk suggested is the one of the ones on the website, it's either $17 or $40:

I was skeptical about it too, but you get like six different cup/container thingys that you mix and serve in, AND a full size blender attachment too. Since no one in my house can agree on what the **** they want to drink it's cool to be able to do single serve things. Plus it's all nicely dishwasher sized stuff that makes cleanup easy.

When we had the big blender it either took up too much space on the counter or we put it in the cabinet (where it took up too much space) and we always dreaded dragging the **** thing out.

I'll also add that my wife bought it on ebay for like 20 bucks new and sealed in the package.

THAT certainly makes it more attractive...:shifty:
