Just saw a infomercial...it's a 2hp 1100 watt blender by Montel Williams of all people hahaha he is very health oriented tho so I guess him promoting it shouldn't evoke chuckles form me ((mental note*stop LOL process when trying to be serious)) anywhoooooo it's only $150 and it is very similar to a VitaMix demo...so what say you fellow smoothie making connisseurs?!!
