My E100S arrived today and there were no blemishes or defects to be seen, save for one tiny bright spot on the side of the black mesh portion of the basket/screen. Also, the storage box is unblemished. I plugged it in for a quick test and it is every bit as quiet as it is supposed to be. I'm quite pleased with this purchase. Thanks to Booth Junkie, Mike DelGaudio, for the heads up on the sale.
MikedelYou are going to need to make a video telling us what kind of gift massdrop gave you for getting so many other people (myself included) to sign up for this deal. :-)
