Pros

  • I’m a fan of VS3 with hypernova ultra burrs.
  • I love my Varia so I think the grinder is fine.
  • Varia VS3 is a great choice too at $260 (you can upgrade burrs too).
  • Yeah I’ve heard good things, my friend has the VS3 and rates it.
  • Varia VS3 is around $260. Great option and easy to change burrs later.

Cons

  • I was tempted to get the vs3 but cable having the massive power brick is a deal breaker
  • The varia vs3 sucks. Cheap china motor i now use my comandate c4.
  • The Varia's conical burrs tend to create really muddled cups.
  • The vs3 just seems to have a weak gear box and the gears are prone to stripping.
  • I have heard of people having issues with the VS3. It’s a good grinder when it works but it seems to be prone to failure.
