Got a reconditioned V1200 a couple of years ago and says it works great with no regrets overall; they rarely use the timer or app, though the bundled 20-oz container was rarely used.

Their Costco V1200 works perfectly, but they miss their 13-year-old legacy blender's fit and finish and lack of presets and smart containers.
Their reconditioned V1200 bought 7–8 years ago still works like new.
Has had their Venturist set for eight years; Vitamix replaced the personal-cup blade when it failed.
After four years with the V1200 a single dishwasher run melted the lip of the container so the lid leaks, and they were never impressed with the container.
Has thrown a lot at their V1200 and it only occasionally throws an over temp warning.
The blade on their V1200's self-detect 64 oz container became bent and dented, leaving them to seek a replacement.
