Amazon renewed (not Vitamix refurbished) if you didn't already see that. I'd be checking with Vitamix directly about whether they offer any warranty beyond Amazon's 90-day warranty.jaydubz wrote: ↑ https://www.amazon.ca/Vitamix-Venturist ... 5E2E0DA7D6
Cheaper at Amazon. I'm actually tempted at $360...
Agreed. Based on the questions from Amazon it looks like it does not come with the 5 year warranty. I think the warranty from Vitamix is probably worth the difference.SizzleChest wrote: ↑ Amazon renewed (not Vitamix refurbished) if you didn't already see that.

Amazon Renewed is your trusted destination for pre-owned and refurbished products that are inspected and tested to work and look like new. A Renewed supplier who is Amazon-qualified and performance managed, performs a full diagnostic test, replaces any defective parts, and thoroughly cleans the product. The products will have minimal to no signs of wear and no visible cosmetic imperfections when held 12 inches away. Products with batteries have at least 80% capacity relative to new and may arrive in a brown or white box with relevant accessories that may be generic.
This product comes with a minimum 90-day supplier-backed warranty
An Amazon qualified supplier will provide a replacement or refund within 90 days of your receipt if the product does not work as expected. The warranty is in addition to Amazon's standard return policy.
I'm also new to Vitamix. I'm upgrading my 5 year old Ninja blender. From what I can tell the V1200 is a newer model than the 5300. Apparently it is similar to the Ascent line, except with different aesthetics, noisier, and only has pre-programmed options via the app (instead of buttons on the base). The V1200 comes with the extra 20oz container though.
I think I decided on the 5300 even though it's not on sale. The reviews for v1200 on the US site aren't great. Plus I don't care about Bluetooth or timer.greycauliflower wrote: ↑ I'm also new to Vitamix. I'm upgrading my 5 year old Ninja blender. From what I can tell the V1200 is a newer model than the 5300.

I still haven't pulled the trigger to purchase, thinking I will though. I don't know the historical prices for when there are deals at costco though, so can't tell how good of a deal I am getting.
