A manly blender

I saw an Ikon blender on Woot the other day for $80 that normally sells for $190 on Amazon.  Since that's only twice what you pay for one of the wimpy generic blenders of which we seem to go through about one per year, I figured, what the heck, let's try it.

It arrived today.  It has a button labeled "smoothie."  The smoothies were good.  I think we have a winner.

(Rachel says that as an added benefit, there's only one possible way to put it together, so it should be husband-proof.  Now, normal people would probably say there's only one possible way to put together an ordinary blender, too, so I'm a little skeptical.)
