However, it’s worth noting that all Ascent and Venturist models have maximum blend times that depend on the container. (The count up timer is on all Venturist and Ascent models.) I do appreciate seeing the count-up timer, which doesn’t require any extra button presses. That said, I rarely use the countdown feature on my A3500. Getting to the maximum 6.5 minutes takes 6 seconds on the A3300 and A3500, but takes 20 seconds on the V1200. The V1200 buttons work perfectly well, but the Ascent touch buttons look and feel a bit more elegant.Īnother difference with the Venturist timer that is slightly annoying is that it takes longer to set. The dome switches protrude a bit and require more force to activate than capacitive buttons. The difference is that the A3300 and A3500 use capacitive touch buttons, whereas the V1200 uses dome switch buttons. The V1200 has a settable countdown timer on the front, which is similar to that found on the A3300 and A3500. The V1200 is slightly less elegant and louder than Ascent models. (The fancier Ascent A3300 and A3500 have a premium control knob that resets to the lowest speed automatically.) Differences from Ascent models The V1200 has the same type of dial as the A2300, which lets you continuously control the speed, with markings from 1 to 10.

If you don’t need the 64-oz capacity, the E310 is the one to get (it comes with a 48-oz container).Īnd if you want the full 64-oz capacity on a narrow container, pick one of the classic “standard” models-of those, I recommend the 5200 or the equivalent Standard Reconditioned. If you want to do a fair amount of blending small amounts of thick blends, you may be better off with a machine that comes with a single narrow container. You can buy an extra narrow container ( 48-oz) to use with the V1200, but that’s an added expense of $144.95.
Or, for nut butters, you need at least 4.5 cups of nuts vs. For frozen desserts, you’re looking at 3+ servings instead of 2 servings with a narrow container. Narrower containers have smaller minimum blending requirements than the wide container. You need the tamper to make thick blends like spreads and frozen desserts. (The main 64-oz wide container can use the tamper, but the 8-oz and 20-oz containers cannot.) The V1200 does not come with a narrow container that can be used with the tamper. It comes with three different-sized containers, but it lacks a container type that many people find extremely useful. Since the V1200 comes with such an extensive package, it might seem like it would satisfy all of your blending needs. Its normal price isn’t amazing, but sometimes Vitamix runs promotions that make it a great deal. Aside from the essentials like the tamper and cookbook, it only adds the 20-oz blending cup and mini blade. The Reconditioned V1200 comes with fewer accessories. But first I want to warn you about one thing to consider. The Venturist line has much in common with the Ascent line, so I will mainly define it in terms similarities and differences with Ascent. (All Vitamix blenders come with a tamper and cookbook.) Extra AccessoriesĬompared to other Vitamix machines, the V1200 comes packaged with extra accessories: 8-oz and 20-oz blending cups, blade scraper tool, and tamper holder. It is essentially the budget cousin to the Ascent line. Vitamix created the Venturist line specifically for Costco. 5 Summary comparisons to each of the Ascent models.
