How much is this new one going to cost?
I've read dozens of books about heros and crooks and have learned much from both of their styles.

So where did you find this online? As of the last time I checked I did not see a price on margaritaville.com. Hmm, two might be nice, more capacity. Greater equalization of productivity. :wench:

Well, it's not like my machine is going to stop working on June 21st.

The multiple drink settings is interesting, though, if that turns out to be a thickness adjustment. I always end up shaving extra into my wife's drinks.

I'm guessing from the larger ice reservoir they are trying to make it more functional as a "party" machine, which is good!

Right now it is very good for making a few drinks for my wife and I, but not nearly as good when I have a dozen friends over. Usually people are wanting refills before I can even get the first round done.

Maybe I'm too nice? Maybe I should just have 2 or 3 kinds of drinks available and premixed? I think someone on here does that (blndn6ft, maybe)?

Why red? Ugh.

Now I'm rambling. I'm sure it will be a great machine, looking forward to a report on a "field test" by the end of the month. :D

Be warned......the larger ice capacity makes for a taller machine. I recently made the decision to purchase the older model knowing the new one was coming out soon when I realized the new model is 21 inches tall (3 inches taller than the original) and would not fit under the upper cabinets of my wetbar. Great machine, though.....everyone should have one.....well, at least one! :D

Well I couldn't resist trying it out today. Especially since I had been out in the hot sun with the temp in the 90's with high humidity. I just fgured a nice ice cold margarita was in order. I like the machine and will work on getting the right mix of ingredients with the proper amounts.
