 Hey, let me get a life is no yoke. This is the Vitamix Venturis V1200 and we're gonna open it up and Talk about who it's for who it might not be for and we have our baby here because we couldn't get a babysitter Okay, so we're gonna open up the box. We're gonna go fast because we don't know how long he can last I want I want to say one thing before I open this up and that's this feels this is that we've had this for a While and it almost feels a little weird to open it up because the V1200 is right now a Costco model, it's the model that the Costco Roadshow reps sell and It's out of our territory. You can get it direct through Vitamix the way that we sell But it's way way way more dollars than the price that you get it from those Costco guys There's a reason for that. It's their territory. This is their model But we get tons of questions about it and so we want to show you what it's like compare it to other ascent models and Answer some common questions that we're getting Maybe it's right for you. Maybe it's not we'll talk about it. Cool. Okay now that I've gotten all emotional about this model Okay, first things first should we open this thing up This is a nice looking thing We'll show you the front and the back and the sides. Here you go front. What's that yawn? Uh-oh Yawn means we've got about four minutes. So we'll go fast All right. Oh, it's white. We got a white one. Cool Okay, okay. All right, ready buddy. Let's talk about this who might the Vitamix V1200 before Before we talk about who it might be right for and who it might not be right for I want to say that the Venturist is sort of like a a sister to the Ascent series It can do almost all the things that the Ascent series can do it just has a different look and feel It's sort of like the budget model that was created for Costco now. Keep in mind. It has the same Performance, it's gonna give you the same silky smooth smoothies ability to make hot soups No butters and large batches the same capabilities as the Ascent series Okay, that makes sense in the past I've referred to the Costco models as Frankenstein models and that's because they pulled different elements from different lines different Series is and I don't want to that's a scare. Yeah, this particular Costco models actually very good The quality blend quality of the performance is great The question as we'll try and figure out is is the V1200 actually right for you The Vitamix V1200 might be for you if you want to make very very Very small batches of smoothies We've heard some feedback that the 20 ounce container is actually too small for a meal replacement smoothie or more detail here Why are the 20 ounce containers? Maybe a little too small for meal replacement smoothies? Well, there is some reduction that happens when you make these smoothies So if you put 20 ounces of ingredients and that includes ice or frozen fruit You blend it and there's gonna be some reduction 20 ounces of ingredients might turn to maybe 14 ounces of smoothie We are a household of two and a half and We've only used the 20 ounce containers as to go containers So we make a huge batch and then fill those up to the top and Head out the door the Vitamix V1200 might be for you if a Costco rep demonstrated this for you Costco roadshow reps make money the same way that we do they get a small percentage of the sale after helping you make the right decision baby flip So this is an opportunity to support an individual and not just a big retailer the V1200 might be for you If you like the look of it especially compared to the ascent It's different and as we say the Vitamix is something that's gonna live in your counter for a lot of years So you better love the way that it looks and if you do Condense your words. It's the biggest feedback Why else might the V1200 be for you if you like the idea of Bluetooth connectivity and Connection with the smart app and scale. This is a feature available on ascent series, too But yeah, the ventures has this as well. Maybe you can't resist a pack You can't resist a package deal. Can you? No, you can't You can't see his smile. I know you just love the extras The Ventures V1200 might be for you if you like extras If you're someone that has single use things in your kitchen like if you have an electric hand opener or a spiralizer Single items for single tasks. If you're like extras, this might be a good fit. You want to hold hands during this Okay, this machine might not be for you for a few reasons. Maybe you have sensitive ears Maybe you're looking for the least loud Vitamix. This is not it. That's the a 3500 Okay, so more on this the V1200 is about as loud as most of the loud Vitamix is clocking in around 93, 94, 95 decibels on high If you compare that to the quieter the quietest Vitamix machine So the a 3500 and the Pro 750 those with the true metal finishes Those are about 88, 89, 90 decibels on high That may not seem like a lot but since decibels are parabolic even just four decibels equals a 40% increase in Noise to the human ear. Maybe you like the idea of one touch walk away blending The Ventress does not come with pre-programmed settings You can set it like a microwave to set a timer and get that walk away effect But the one touch pre-programmed settings is not here Okay, a little more detail on walk away blending on the V1200 you push the timer press start and walk away It's pretty easy, but to put it into perspective the Ascent a 3300 and a 3500 they work in a similar way But the buttons are a little different buttons on these ascent models are Touchscreen, so it's a little easier to get them to activate And then also the difference is how fast they actually count So if you want to set a five minute timer on the V1200 it would take About this long And if you want to set a timer on the ascent series either the a 3300 or a 3500 it would take about this long And of course if you have the a 3500 you have that one touch walk away, so soup start walk away It might not be for you if your main goal is single serve Smoothies I had a long conversation with someone who bought the Ventress and she wasn't sure if it was right for her She wanted to make she was just her She lives alone and she wants to make smoothies for her. She didn't really care for the extras that came with it and Wanted to get something that was a better fit She ended up with the E310 it ends up being around half the price And it was a better fit for her as her first Vitamix you shouldn't be afraid of the wide 64 ounce container It's really great at making pretty much anything that you want the challenges are with really thick blends nut butters hummus Frozen desserts to make those things in the wide 64 ounce container You need to make a very large batch if you don't want to make very large batches of those thick blends You need a narrow container that comes with a tamper that's tamper compatible And this isn't a machine that comes with that for example if you wanted to make banana ice cream in this machine You would need to use about eight frozen bananas You cannot use the eight ounce or the 20 ounce for that banana ice cream because those are not Compatible with the tamper same thing with nut butters same thing with hummus really difficult If not impossible to make those in these small personal blend-and-go containers and this is why we think that the ultimate Vitamix setup is a full-sized Vitamix with a secondary 48 ounce narrow container Okay, right? That's what we rock and that's why if you plan to frequently make really thick blends nut butters hummus frozen desserts You probably better off with getting a secondary container or picking a machine that has a narrow container To start with so that's an e310 or perhaps One of the certified reconditioned A legacy models like the 5200 so why else we talked about this? It comes with a lot of pieces that don't stack or organize in an efficient manner So if you want to stay organizing your kitchen and have a minimalist approach The Ventures VTEL hunter is probably not the best for you. How do you feel about design? Unlike the a3500 it's not Designed with design in mind if you're registering for a Vitamix for a wedding go for the biggest and the best And as of today, that's the a3500 with true metal finish So copper black stainless graphite metal or brushed stainless. What else can we say about this, buddy?
