Vitamix V1200 vs E320
The V1200 and E320 are the two models sold at Costco, so if you are considering the V1200, you are probably also considering the E320. The main difference is that the V1200 has a range of new technology, which it shares with the Ascent Series. The extra features are:
- Digital timer
- Can use 8-oz and 20-oz containers without bulky adapter
- Bluetooth connectivity to app
- Longer warranty (10 vs 7 years)
- Secondary on-off switch on side
- Clear lid on container
Are these extras worth paying more for? It really comes down to personal preference. If you’re excited about the extra features, I say go for it. But know that you can blend just as well with the E320.
Also note that the V1200 requires Self Detect containers, which means that old Vitamix containers will not work with it. One the other hand, the E320 can be used with Vitamix containers going back to the the mid ’90s.
