The Vitamix Venturist Pro is a high-end blender that comes with a 64oz jar and a 2-part lid. Price-wise, it falls in the middle of Vitamix's lineup of full-size blenders and doesn't have any onboard blending programs. Unlike the Vitamix Venturist V1200, you can only program the timer through the Vitamix Perfect Blend app, which also gives you access to blending programs. It only comes with one jar included, but if you want additional jars and accessories, it's compatible with 'Ascent' series accessories, so you can buy plenty of different jars and attachments, like a food processor and a personal jar.
Our Verdict
The Vitamix Venturist Pro is superb for multi-purpose use. It's very well-built and produces fantastic results with a variety of recipes, whether you're making nut butter or hummus, crushing ice for cocktails, or blending fibrous ingredients in smoothies and soups. It only comes with one 64oz jar, so blending smaller amounts of ingredients requires extra effort because ingredients can splash up the sides of the jar.
- Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
- Makes snow-like crushed ice.
- Outstanding build quality.
- Easy to use for recipes like nut butter.
- Smaller amounts splash around in the jar.
- Somewhat loud.
The Vitamix Venturist Pro is excellent for single-serve smoothies. This isn't the best use for this blender since it only comes with a 64oz jar, and if you use it to blend smaller volumes, the ingredients tend to splash up the sides of the jar. This means you need to stop and scrape the jar with a spatula for the best results, and since the ingredients will start to warm up after a few minutes, it produces slightly worse results. It still makes a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale, so it can produce fantastic single-serve smoothies.
- Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
- Makes snow-like crushed ice.
- Outstanding build quality.
- Smaller amounts splash around in the jar.
- Somewhat loud.
The Vitamix Venturist Pro is incredible for multiple servings of smoothies. If you fill the 64oz jar to full capacity, it only takes a minute to make a virtually perfectly smooth blend with ingredients like leafy greens and fruit. It also easily crushes ice cubes, so it's very well-suited for making big batches of smoothies and other drinks like slushies and blended cocktails.

- Outstanding build quality.

The Vitamix Venturist Pro is a fantastic ice crusher. It's very sturdy, with metal gears on both the jar and motor base. Using its dedicated pulse switch, it can crush a big batch of ice cubes into snow-like crushed ice in seconds.
- Makes snow-like crushed ice.
- Outstanding build quality.
- Somewhat loud.
The Vitamix Venturist Pro is fantastic for soups. You can use its 64oz jar to blend hot ingredients, and it makes a nearly perfectly smooth blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients like leafy greens and broccoli. The jar is big enough to fit a full recipe in one batch.
- Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
- Outstanding build quality.
- Somewhat loud.
The Vitamix Venturist Pro is fantastic for professional use. It's sturdier than most blenders, with metal gears on the motor base and jar. It's easy to use for most recipes, from ice crushing to soups to thicker mixtures like nut butter. It's not as good for blending smaller amounts of ingredients for something like a single-serve smoothie.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Vitamix Venturist Pro falls in the mid-range of Vitamix's lineup. Unlike 'Legacy' models like the Vitamix 5200, it has a digital display that shows how long you've been blending. It offers a wide range of speed settings but no onboard blending programs. Unlike the similar Vitamix Venturist V120, its onboard controls don't include a programmable timer. You can access a timer feature and blending programs by connecting it to the Vitamix Perfect Blend app. Overall, it offers a fantastic performance for most recipes, but it doesn't include a personal jar like the Vitamix Venturist V1200, and as a result, it isn't quite as good for single-serve blends.
If you're looking for a recommendation, check out the best Vitamix blenders, the best blenders for smoothies, and the best blenders.
The Vitamix Alta Pro and the Vitamix Venturist Pro offer similar performance, but their features cater to different needs. If you like using presets and don't want to use an app, opt for the Alta Pro. Alta Pro users can simply turn a dial on the front panel to choose an automatic blending program, whereas the Venturist Pro requires you to use an app to do so. Otherwise, both blenders come with a similar 64-ounce jar design that's great for making large batches, but struggles when processing small batches of ingredients.
The Vitamix A3500 is a bit better than the Vitamix Venturist Pro. The A3500 has an onboard programmable timer and blending programs, while you can only access those features via a companion app with the Pro. It's also better at processing smaller volumes of fibrous ingredients using its 'Smoothie' blending program. Otherwise, both models have a similarly versatile performance and fantastic build quality.
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.
The Vitamix Venturist V1200 and the Vitamix Venturist Pro are variants with small differences in controls and features. They share a fantastic build quality and a versatile performance. The V1200 has a programmable timer onboard, while the Pro only offers that feature via its companion app. However, the Pro is quieter when it's running.
