This thread should be renamed to "Rerolled's 1% - Brag about spending money to stand in lines"
You want to know what shit I just bought? I bought black electrical tape to cover a hole in my black work shoes because I can't afford to buy new shoes and there isn't a god damn cobbler in my shitty town.

That's what I thought he meant. "Checked"...in the Snow. Snowchecked.
Personally I don't have a problem with someone posting about something they pre-purchased. Just say you pre-purchased it, or reserved it if you want to save a few key presses. We would have all known what you meant then, and I doubt anyone would have said anything negative at all.

Supporting a product through Kickstarter is inherently different than paying for a spot in line to buy something when it comes in stock. I couldn't give less of a shit about what anyone wants to spend their own money on, but this is the "Shit I just bought" thread, not the "Shit I just bought a spot in line to (hopefully) buy in the future" thread. And then that fucking guy pulls the "derp I have more moniez than u" when he gets called on his shit.

I need some clarification, when you bought a spot in line, is that like a deposit that goes towards the purchase of the item? Or did you literally give the company $500 just so you can pay full price at a later date for something?
and yes, referring to it as "snowchecked" and then not explaining what that means but instead being passive aggressive and posting a "let me google that for you" link is why that guy is getting shit.

I had already explained it. It's a deposit. Same goes for snowmobiles.
McQueen just got all pissy pants so I figured I would fuck with him. Thought people who enjoy winter sports might be interested as I had not rode one till this last year.
I guess it isnt like you have to pay the whole price, but I dont really think anyone throws a $500 deposit away unless they break their back or something during the summer. Wasn't expecting to have to explain the industry, but you are telling a small manufacturing company in Sandpoint, Idaho that you really want one. The snowchecks, or "preorders" I guess if you want to call it that, have a limited time and usually is your only chance of actually getting the new model when they ship.

Bought this for my wife for her birthday. We busted it open and started using it last night. Fucking awesome
Nothing like being able to make frozen sherbert just by tossing in nothing but frozen fruit(complete with stems, seeds, peels, etc), or cooking soup right in the device. 2HP engine, it's more powerful than my lawnmower. Thing could probably liquefy a brick.

Is it a pain to clean? I always end up going back to my shit magic bullet because all i have to do is spray off the blades and throw the cup in the dishwasher. It is terrible at frozen fruit though.Bought this for my wife for her birthday. We busted it open and started using it last night. Fucking awesome

They specifically tell you to not use the dishwasher, but all you do to clean it is fill it half full of warm water, put in a couple squirts of dish soap, and then run it on high for 30 seconds. Has worked great so far, made ice cream and smoothies last night, cleaned it like a champ.
The manual also says that if you want to sterilize it once in a while, just do the same but with a tbsp of liquid bleach instead of soap. Damn thing spins so fast its like a tornado of water and soapsuds inside, it scrapes everything off the sides and cleans real well. Then I just dump it and rinse it and done.

Do you have to disassemble the blades/bottom? Im kind of a clean freak so my blender usually ends up in all 5 pieces for cleaning.

No, you never disassemble the blades from the container with a Vitamix, it's all 1 unit. They actually sell different blades(one for wet/frozen stuff, one for dry chopping like herbs and coffee) and it consists of buying a whole new plastic container with the new blade attached. Theres basically nothing to take apart with the vitamix(unless it's for repairs or something)
the friction of the blade spinning is so strong, that it'll eventually boil water if you let it run for like 5-6 minutes. It cooks soup just from the friction of the blade in the liquid.

I actually bought this last week but have yet to give it a whirlAmazon.com: Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer - Black and Chrome: Kitchen Dining
I was looking at the Vitamix as well, but everything I read said to buy a masticating juicer rather than a centrifugal.
