Bought this when Amazon had a $60 off deal on the black color. Vitamix products are expensive. Especially so, considering these are only blenders, but they are the best when it comes to blending anything you put into it and the durability, (though nothing is made like it used to be, even these.)I chose the cheaper model as I don’t need the programs, nor the latest container sensing system, and the 48 oz container is just the right size for 3 of us. The 3″ blades allow for smaller quantities if making a recipe for one. The other higher-priced models have 64 oz containers and 4″ blades, but need a greater minimum quantity of ingredients to work correctly and immerse the blades. The 2 hp matches the 3″ blades and does the same job as the 2.2 hp motor does on the larger containers. So, model choice really is down to minimum batch size and what bells and whistles you feel you want, but don’t actually need!So far I haven’t found fault with the E310. It does a fantastic job of blending anything I’ve put into it, as long as you follow the loading rules; liquids first, followed by lighter ingredients like leafy material, then heavier items like apples followed by heavy ice cubes. This ensures the blades start blending the easier stuff first and the heavier items weight the load down to maintain a feed into the blades until everything is flowing in a strong vortex, completing the blend.Made lots of smoothies and also some soup, heated by the Vitamix itself in 6 minutes or so. I did struggle with a frozen dessert, but I think that was because all the fruit ingredients were frozen solid and I missed the recommendation to let them thaw a little for 10-20 minutes on the counter before blending. The Vitamix had no problem breaking down the solid frozen lumps with the aid of the included tamper, but an air pocket kept forming around the blades and the mix didn’t “flow” and produce the classic 4-segment, stiff vortex shape on the surface. Everything was too frozen. It did produce a nice sorbet though after much tampering!Clean-up is a breeze. You just rinse the container, add warm water with a couple drops of dish liquid and run at high speed. Rinse again and let dry. And that’s it!Unlike other blenders, the blades are not razor sharp and it would be difficult to cut yourself on them if wiping out the container. The “wet” container blending is all about the blade shape, the speed of rotation (most times you are running at the highest speed of 10 and the only factor to think about is run-time) and the subsequent mixing vortex driving the ingredients into the blades. For flour and other dry seed blending, you need a “dry” container, supplied separately as an accessory, but over $100 !! Its blades are a different configuration and keep the fines from broken-down seeds in suspension in the container, while the heavier seeds fall back into the blades. You can, however, make nut butters in the supplied “wet” container using peanuts, almonds, etc..The pulse function is good for “lumpy” salsa and for adding some chunks at the end of a blend for texture. I added some more baked potatoes and roasted cauliflower to the soup after blending to temperature. Then pulsed them to leave some larger chunks in the smooth soup.As with any high speed blender, these units are noisy, but we don’t live in an apartment to have to worry about the noise!We are using the Vitamix every day for healthy fruit and vegetable smoothies and look forward to a long time doing so with the 5 year warranty. Vitamix customer service is reputed to be very good. I expect an even longer life from the unit as the Vitamix is well designed.

I’ve had this blender for about a month now and I like it. I don’t love it because at times the frozen fruit pieces get stuck on the bottom while blending so I have to use the Tamper to push it down or swirl it around (make sure to turn off the blender when doing so to prevent scratches on Tamper). You can add more liquids but if you want a more creamy/sorbet texture, I recommend using the Tamper.I figured maybe it’s because it’s frozen pieces and all blenders can get like this. It’s just Vitamix has been marketed as the best blender ever and due to the high price range ($350+), I was expecting instant results. I guess for now, I’ll just have to hear the loud engine noise as the fruits gets stuck to the blades at high speed. I’m also not sure if the left lever helps at all.Positives though – once that ordeal is done, the blender is amazing. My smoothies comes out creamy and very smooth (no bumps). Instead of blasting it to high speed, I take my time to warm it up from normal to high to advance speed and the same steps when I’m done blending. Also I love the possibilities – soup, margaritas, ice cream, etc. 4.5/5

I don’t know why I hesitated to buy the Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender. I was intimidated by the price, I suppose. I also didn’t realize how much better an experience it would be using the Vitamix compared to the many inexpensive, name-brand blenders I used until they, quite literally, fell apart.With the cheap blenders I had been doing all the work: chopping ingredients, stopping the blender to poke and jab the contents, shaking and whacking the blender, adding more liquid, cursing. It was a production and a time sink just to make a simple fruit smoothie. Cleaning those blenders was even more involved.Not with the Vitamix! Load the ingredients, flip the switch, turn the dial … silky smoothie! In seconds. Cleaning is even easier: water and a drop of dish soap in the carafe, whzzzzz, rinse. With the Vitamix I have prepared and poured, cleaned up, and am enjoying my smoothie in the time it used to take me just to blend a smoothie. It’s so easy! Plus the texture of the smoothies from the Vitamix are so much nicer.Some reviewers say the Vitamix is loud. I disagree. It is so much quieter than blenders I’ve used in the past. The old beehive style blender the Vitamix replaced sounded like it was jackhammering asphalt. You’d have to use a decibel meter to know for sure, but I perceive the Vitamix as quieter than a garbage disposal or a hand mixer. And you need only have it make noise for mere seconds.I know the E310 Explorian blender is much more than a smoothie maker, but it changed my smoothie routine so profoundly I thought it worth describing.If you have the means, don’t hesitate. Keep your eyes on the price too. It can fluctuate by $50 or $60 at least.

Had one for 20 years. Gave it to my son and bought this one for myself. Best blenders on the market. Can’t go without one. My son loves my old one!!

Albeit a bit noisy but works well for small volume smoothies. One hell of an engine and easy to operate. I would buy again at this pricetag. We shall see how long this one lasts.

It’s heavy and it doesn’t blend as good as My ninja. Possibly I an not using it right

Upgrading from a nutribullet to this was a night and day difference. It’s worth the price.
