Best price on mes 40

[chevy16001]

I have a mes 30 now and I'm tired of stuff not fitting so I'm looking to upgrade..... Where's the best price to be had on a 40?

Amazon has MES40 for $299.00. Just got mine and love it!!!

Which version is it?

Its the gen 2 with front controller and remote. I'd watch for after the first of the month. Academy Sports still has gen 1 models but right now sells them at 349 for the 40. Who knows in january.

Why not get the MES 40 Gen 1 for $299?

Definitely get the Gen1 MES 40 model # 20070311. Pretty much all the bugs have been worked out and side by side testing with the Gen 2 showed it to be more even heating and over fewer issues. The Gen1 is also all Stainless Steel...JJ

....... and its one of the few gen 1 units that have a 1200 watt element.
