I am a Blendtec user. Just search YouTube for Blendtec videos. Then get your Indian brand blender and try the same smoothies, soups, and whole fruit juices. Do let us know how it worked out for you.

General consensus seems to be that this isn't much of a deal; at most $5-$10 less than the usual Costco price. I guess i'll wait for a better deal; although this one ain't shabby.
