I GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A word of warning about the knock-offs...
My husband had bought me a Blender Express Plus and it broke within the first 90 days. I was able to get my money back from the store and replaced it with the MB. I realized right away that the motor in the MB is much stronger than the BEP. I can do things in the MB that I never could do in the other.
I use mine every day, so in 6 months I have given it quite a workout. I do much more than just protein drinks in it.
Watch for the 20% off coupons for Bed, Bath & Beyond and Linens & Things. The 2 stores will accept each other's coupon and that will bring the price of the MB down to $47-$48.
