I got this for John's mom. I paid $150 after a $25 coupon. It also came with a mail-in rebate for a free Cuisinart handblender ($50 value). The quality is excellent and we've used it for everything from pureeing meals for Grandma to making cheese dips (it shreds a block of cheese in 30 seconds) and cucumber "veggie chips" for us (which I dry in my L'equip dehydrator). I think dealtaker.com has another $25 coupon for household items at Amazon.com.

wow! Great deal! I have a mini one on my wish list, but maybe i should go for the 14-cup!
