Vitamin For The Every Single Day Win.
The Vitamix is heads above the competition.
The App is being tweaked. It is currently scheduled for operability in Jan 2018.
My RoadShow Rep was Mr Dennis, this past week, in Texas.
My grandmother had her Vitamix for 50 years. The only reason we upgraded her 12 years ago is because she had a glass container and she broke it. My husband bought two that year: The second one was for me. Well, our current Super 5000 will go with our oldest to college. I've decided on this one and am stoked about the great deal at the Costco RoadShow.
If I had asked Dennis permission to post his picture I would. He was great. Took my husband to meet him the very next day!

Amazing machine
I have many health issues and was always wanting to get the best out of fruits and vegetables in my diet. I happened to stop at Costcos in Camillus New York and there was a demonstration on this machine. I was so impressed with everything that was made a long with the taste and how easily the rep made it look. I nearly spent 3 hours as she made one right after another and decided to purchase this amazing product. May I also add the rep Karen was so fantastic and really did a super job. A real value on making a purchase as this is how well it is demonstrated. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again someday with your expertise on this
great product.

WORKS JUST LIKE IT WAS DEMONSTRATED AT COSTCO
THOSE WHO ARE TECHNICALLY SAVVY, THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT, ONCE IT'S SET UP. THE FULL BENEFIT IS REALIZED WHEN, 1) YOU HAVE A COMPATIBLE BLUETOOTH TABLET OR IPHONE (NOT MS WINDOW COMPLIANT), 2. THE SOFTWARE INSTALLED AND WORKING, 3. A BLUETOOTH SCALE. AND 4) THE V1200 BLENDER. WHEN BOTH THE SCALE AND BLENDER ARE DETECTED BY THE DEVICE RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, (ALL THREE UNITS RUNNING), THEN YOU HAVE NO NEED TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS, NOR HAVE TO SET A TIMER NOR SPEED FOR THE BLENDER, NOR MEASURE THE RIGHT AMOUNT TO SERVE, AS THE SOFTWARE MANAGES THESE THINGS FOR YOU. YOU STILL MAY NEED TO PLUNGE THE ICE BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AUTOMATICALLY MEASURED AND CONTROLLED. VERY COOL UNIT.

Venturist V1200 for the win!
My wife and I recently purchased the V1200 when our 6500 broke. We LOVE our 6500 but Costco was selling the V1200 model so we thought why not give it a chance. We brought this thing home with the perfect scale and we love this machine the app is seamless and there are about 14 or more different blending modes through the app. This machine is very aesthetically pleasing to look at, and when its paired with perfect scale you can make recipes that are perfect no more guessing what to put in first or how much to put in with the scale it tells you everything you need and just the right amount. Lastly, I would like to mention the self-detect technology. This blender know which container is on the blender so that you always make the perfect product your trying to make!

Blending Beauty And The Beast!!!
I bought my Vitamix at Costco Roadshow... drove an hour round trip just purchase it (my local Costco wasn’t scheduled for that roadshow) and o’boy was it worth the road trip! No more having to chew my smoothies... they are smooth as butter.
It’s truly a beauty and beast! I’m so in love.

Gorgeous blender, Bluetooth works now!
I bought two Venturist V1200s (one for my millennial age daughter) at Costco just before Christmas. I had been sifting through all the other versions and just couldn't decide - presets?, legacy?, new containers vs. original?, small personal?. As soon as I saw the V1200 demonstration, I knew this one was exactly what I was looking for. I love the combination of included accessories and the form factor that sort of combines the updated classic look of the Vitamix with the new functionality of sensors and Bluetooth connectivity. I love the simple timer that can count up or down as needed.
The Perfect Blend app was updated for iPhone and iPad on Dec. 28. It seems to work beautifully so far. The settings on your device can control the blender - whether you use the scale or not. This functionality replaces the generic presets on the previous machines. Very cool if you like gadgets. No complaints from me or my smoothie obsessed daughter.
Another huge selling point is the self cleaning feature - especially in my daughter's dishwasher free tiny apartment. She makes room for her new baby.

My favorite kitchen appliance!
The new Vitamix Venturist is absolutely effortless. Not only is it sleek and professional, but it is so versatile. I’ve blended soups, minced vegetables, made sauces, grated cheese, all from the Vitamix. I love having one machine that can do so much so well, rather than multiple appliances cluttering the kitchen. And one of the most important things I look for in a blender is how well it blends and what kind of texture it creates. The Venturist creates such a beautiful texture no matter what you're using it for. Also, my favorite part is that it cleans itself!
I was sent this product in exchange for a review - all opinions are my own.

Stands Head & Shoulders Way Above All Others ...
... and not just all other blenders, but above all other Vitamix machines. The sales rep at our Costco Roadshow made every advantage and feature fantastically clear and accessible. It was an easy decision to take the plunge, and I’ll never look back.
