Bought a refurbished V1200 for $200 coming from a Ninja and gets excited about every smoothie, though the individual cup blends less effectively than the large container.

Got the Venturist Pro in a Woot sale and loves it, though single-serve smoothies in the pitcher are either pure liquid or a little too chunky without a cup adapter.
Bought the Costco V1200 bundle and loves it, finding the smoothies much smoother than their NutriNinja, using a stainless 48 oz container, and noting it is loud but a smooth sound.
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 first refurbished V1200 would connect to the app but not load programs, though it made great hummus and smoothies, and the replacement worked.
Their V1200 arrived and made a very smooth green smoothie, with the app cleaning and smoothie programs handy and noise lower than people say.
Loves the V1200, which is leagues better than their cheap blenders, blending without much added liquid and seeming quiet to them.
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 first V1200 smoothie came out extremely smooth with no pieces left at the bottom, and it was not as loud as expected.
Their V1200 has worked fine for daily milk, frozen fruit and nut smoothies in the 64 oz container without a tamper, only sticking once.
Makes amazing mayo in their V1200 but also gets the same drippy mess from the lid hole.
