Deal Details
I don't have the encyclopedic knowledge of the Vitamix line as some do, but this model seemed like a low price way to get into the brand with a model with decent features (including compatibility with the "self-detect" accessories like the food processor base, etc). 5 year warranty [vitamix.com] with free warranty shipping takes the sting out of the "certified reconditioned" status in my book.

Certified Reconditioned Venturist V1200 in Black, Red or Slate w/ 5 year warranty (and extended warranty available).

Series : Venturist
Compatibility : Ascent & Venturist Series
Dimensions : 10.5 x 8 x 17 in

Electrical Ratings : 120 V, 50-60 Hz, 12 Amps
Product Weight : 11.98 lbs

Yes, this is a great model to get into a Vitamix and getting it reconditioned direct is a great savings. It's not the top of the line but has some of the new features that the new ones have. More here: https://gotgreensrevolution.com/v...00-review/ They also have it with packages on sale too. If what's in the package is something you want, it can be even a better way to get in.

the low profile one still wont' fit under my moms cupboards, so I think I'm going to go for the 5200 with the tall container since none of them fit with the container on. Any reason I should seek out a different model? Not seeing any major perks elsewhere and the tall container seems to perform the best for most things

Lots of review sites seem to push the 5200 as their fav as well.

The 5200 is a solid machine. It gets the job done without the extra bells and whistles. It is a little louder than newer models, but not by much. The tall container performs best for smaller blends. If you're looking to do more "chopping" or large batch blending, that is where the low-profile comes in handy. There are a few really good comparison sites out there to help narrow it down.

I've got the 5300. It's loud and jams constantly. Are the new motors better?
Why are they selling two motor designs?

While all the models are loud because they are so powerful, the 5300 is known as one of the loudest. All the motors are essentially the same, the difference is in the housing, the base around the motor) and how it is made. They sell multiple series designs to appeal to a larger audience and to offer different price points.

so the c and g series doesn't have much difference motor wise?

from reviews it seems like G series is the way to go, and C series doesn't really make sense anymore.

Correct, not much difference motor wise. Main difference is the G series is quieter. Other differences include general design and improved variable speed response. More details here https://gotgreensrevolution.com/v...de/#legacy It's about personal preference and price.

That's because they had their big sale back in September.
