Our Verdict

Vitamix A3300

Vitamix Venturist V1200

The Vitamix Venturist V1200 and the Vitamix A3300 have different strengths. The Venturist has a slightly better build quality. It's a little easier to use to process tough ingredients like nuts. However, the A3300 is significantly quieter and does a better job of processing fibrous ingredients for recipes like smoothies and soups, especially in smaller batches.
