Anybody tried the Omega Mego on Morningsave?

brasscupcakes thought this was worth mentioning said Sat, Mar 5th 2022 at 6:18pm ET

It’s $29. (84 on Omega website, 69 at Walmart). The only Youtube videos are promotional – hardly any reviews anywhere. (I’ve been buying high wattage 70s era Warings & Osters off ebay for years, cause I know I’ll get 3 to 8 years out of them, but this is nice & small).

I was wondering about it myself. The few reviews are generally good, but I have a feeling it won’t last as long as name brands. I still may get it at that price. I wonder if John really ordered 5,000 instead of 500.

- @heartny I’m willing to believe that indeed he did. It’s just a supposed statement of fact. E.g., I bought two bags of cat food, instead of 200. That is also a fact. OTOH, they imply he was really supposed to have ordered only 500. Maybe, maybe not. 500 seems kinda low a quantity for a national sale. Might just be a marketing ploy. You know, like the new car dealers who always claim they are overstocked – have too much inventory. I cannot believe a successful business would consistently order too many of a product; especially one at that price.

For those like me who have no clue what a MeGo is, it’s a small blender.

I just ordered one earlier this evening. I’m willing to buy a second, if the first arrives while they are still selling them and if it seems to be good when I try it out.
I’ll post back here when (if) I have an opinion on its worth.

  I forgot to mention:
  ESTIMATED DELIVERY Monday, Mar 14 - Wednesday, Mar 16
  But several other items from Mediochre and company have been arriving early or just before the announced delivery window recently.

@heartny, Omega the juicing company that’s been around for decades makes this blender, so it is a name brand.

I had an Omega centrifugal juicer for 20 years – you couldn’t kill it (I lost it in a move).

The website claims it has a ten year limited warranty.

The main reason I didn’t pull the trigger instantly was at least one review saying it burned out within months and the warranty wasn’t honored.

Anyhow, I ended up buying it, and will report back if it’s any good
