Bought the V1200 Costco bundle mainly to grind spices in the 8 oz cup, replacing a small bullet blender.
Loves the V1200, especially the 8 oz cups for sauces, though the 20 oz jars are narrow for frozen smoothies so they use a 48 oz jar instead.
Says the V1200 works better when run at full speed with app presets, using the 20 oz cup for smoothies and 64 oz for soups, though the app connectivity is flimsy.
Got the Venturist V1200 for a baby shower and uses it daily: the count-up/countdown timer is very convenient and the blends are mind-blowingly smooth compared with a Cuisinart.
Their V1200 arrived and made a very smooth green smoothie, with the app cleaning and smoothie programs handy and noise lower than people say.
Their V1200 handled smoothies, nut milks, soup and cocktails beautifully in the 64 oz jar, and a 48 oz jar later became their daily container.
Their V1200 does not detect the 8 oz and 20 oz cups, a common alignment issue that owners say improves after tightening the blade base further.
Picked up the Costco V1200 and enjoys the app, which they find intuitive, along with the food processor and stainless container from the roadshow.
Bought a V1200 after years with a reconditioned legacy Vitamix and likes the timer, toggle switches and app support, only missing the old container shape.
Their Costco V1200 sprays oil back out of the lid hole when making dressings and mayonnaise, which Vitamix says to avoid by slowing the speed, though a funnel helped.
Bought the Costco Venturist with the smart scale and says the scale and blender work well, with the app's promised automated recipes arriving late.
Bought a reconditioned V1200 online and loves it, noting the 20 oz self-detect cup works better after the first couple of uses.
