Our Verdict

Vitamix Venturist Pro

Vitamix Ascent X4

The Vitamix Venturist Pro and the Vitamix Ascent X4 have different strengths. The biggest difference between the two is jar capacity. The Venturist's 64oz jar is better for big batches of fibrous ingredients and making crushed ice. The X4's 48oz jar makes it easier to process single-serve smoothies and thicker recipes like nut butter. The X4's controls include blending programs. It also comes with a tamper holder but lacks cord storage.
