Bought a refurbished V1200 with the 5-year warranty for about $200 and says it works great so far.
Just bought a refurbished V1200 and calls the machine amazing.
Got the V1200 a few weeks ago and loves it, saying the missing onboard presets can be run via the phone app and it saves money over higher models.
Chose the V1200 after lots of review reading: same power as the A2300 to A3500, a timer, and app presets, and standard dials they expect to outlast touchscreens; super happy after receiving it.
Bought the Costco V1200 and reports it has the same motor and accessory support as the Ascent line, without onboard presets, with plenty of included accessories.
Bought the Costco V1200 and is pleased with it, using the app programs and the same motor as the Ascent line.
