Thumb Score: +5 Woot! [woot.com] has Vitamix A3300 Ascent Series Smart Blender w/ 64-Oz Container on sale for $379.99. Shipping is free for Amazon Prime Members (must login with your Amazon account and select a shipping address in order for Woot to apply free shipping) or is otherwise $6 per order.
Thumb Score: +6 I've had my eye on the Umami for its unique features and ability to double as a slow cooker. Price is less than $15-$20 over the rock bottom price blip from 31 months ago which we likely won't see again.
