Our Verdict

Vitamix A2300

Vitamix Venturist V1200

The Vitamix Venturist V1200 is a little better than the Vitamix A2300. The main thing that sets the Venturist apart is its two additional jars, a 20-ounce personal jar and an 8-ounce cup for very small batches. Both models do a fantastic job with small batches of fibrous ingredients, but the Venturist's personal jar and matching lid make it easy to take a smoothie to go. It's also better built, is a little easier to use for thick recipes like nut butter, and has a programmable timer. That said, the A2300 is quieter.
