Anyone get the new mini?

So apparently they redesigned the mini's hinge. Does anyone have this new mini? Is it worth the increased price?
I got quoted $250 for a mini earlier in the winter but now it seems prices went up almost $100-$175. I know it is my fault for sleeping on the deal. I know the mini is a good egg and I know I would use it. Thanks guys!

Absolutely! I got mine a few days before the price increase and the hinge is GREAT. Also the rigid handle. Exactly like using one of the larger Eggs.Judy in San Diego

I got mine just a few weeks ago with the new hinge. it works great however I don't know anything about the old ones. The dealer was probably quoting the increased price since Feb.1. I got the old price with the stand included for 285.00. You may ask if they have one they purchased before Feb.1

love mine!! my hinge was a retrofit - used to have the original style. the price for the kit was $60, but I don't think it had anything to do the overall price increase. the increase was across the board as far as I know. not just the mini.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

In December the Mini with stand was going for about $300.00 in South Texas area (Houston)
Have not priced since price increase.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
At my local store they have them at $400! :ohmy:
-
That is a killer jump...or your local store is on the high side?
$400.00 with stand or Mini alone?Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Darian If not too much trouble could you find out the price for a new mini ( new hinge ) &. base to be picked up in Salado. I'm thinking of getting another one TKS my friend.

You Egg buying Stud.
Anything for you my friend...Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Might be able to make you a good deal on Lora's Small if she is not watching this post. :woohoo:
Mickey is also checking his dealer in Salado.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
That was for the mini alone. I think the stand was an extra $30 or $40...

I picked one up about three weeks ago, the new model, for around $230 + tax. The store had it in stock from before the price increase. Guess I got lucky.

Great If she approves

Mickey that's just fantastic. Tks my friend

The price increase is across the board. The salesperson messed up when she was quoting me for my medium because they hadn't updated their book and boy was her boss unhappy. They got it back in the delivery charge though and tried to double charge me for my wings. I'm unlikely to go back to them for other accessories / eggs.

I left you a very nice voice mail.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

My hubby got me a mini for Valentine's Day (only folks here would appreciate that comment). He told our dealer he wanted the new style when he ordered it. He was fortunate and they sold him the new version at the old price. We have loved it so far - much more practical for our everyday "grilling" needs. I can't speak to how the old hinge worked before, but I'm very pleased that we have a mini in our arsenal.
And I appreciate my husband so much for a thoughtful gift.
