re: Margaritaville margarita machine? Thoughts?

I have the 500 Bahamas model and love it. $$$ is nowhere near the same. Vitamix is $380+. Margaritaville is $185. I use mine 2-3 times a week, and everyone loves the drinks. Like said before, no Chunks of ice as long as the shaving blade is on tight. Great machine, worth the money, and easy to clean.
