Vitamix E310 Explorian

Based on 17 comments across 2 communities
TL;DR
Owners consistently call the E310 a powerful, reliable workhorse that pulverizes ice, frozen fruit, and fibrous greens into juice-bar-smooth results, often lasting a decade or more. The real caveats are that it's loud and a pricey investment, and a few people find a cheaper personal blender handier for quick single-serve drinks. It's best for someone who wants one durable, do-it-all blender and is willing to pay up for it.

I am still in awe how much better the ninja runs circles around my Vitamix when it comes to daily usage.. single serve smoothies.. shredding chicken..

I very quickly determined that the blender can be switched on even if the lid isn't in place, which is disappointing.

I have a Vitamix Explorian E310 and it is simply superior. My family has used nearly a dozen blenders from thrift stores and friends and they are really different machines. A good blender means NO fibers from greens and NO ice chunks.

I got mine on a crazy sale for like half the price (plus I think it was renewed), and that thing is a beast. I worked in pro kitchens and couldn't use any of those crappy cheaper ones you'd see in a Bad, Bath & Beyond or wherever, because they're all garbage. I blend soups in this one and they're silky smooth. Same with smoothies, which for me is a bunch

I don't recommend e310. There's isn't even mini container for it. And it moves while running so I use my one hand on it always. And so noisy.

the blade just rotates with nothing making contact

a Vitamix blender like the E310 Explorian, which I personally own and love, offers exceptional blending power and reliability.

Just tried it today and it obliterated ice and frozen fruit to a smoothness my Ninja personal smoothie blender never could.

I got the Vitamix E310 on sale from Best Buy a few days ago for a little over $300 and it was one of the best investments I have made in recent times. My new vitamix makes consistently smooth smoothies, and I'm talking like professional smoothie quality you would buy at a juice bar.

I'd go with a Vitamix blender (I have and love the E310 Explorian).

The only blender I’ve ever had that can make a drink actually have the Frappuccino texture is my Vitamix Explorian from the E310 series, but after taxes it was ~400 usd. We use a ton of Vitamix products at Starbucks and their blenders will last over 10 years but it definitely is an investment.

Got myself a vitamix E310 explorian about a year ago. I use it pretty much every day and it's a nearly flawless device. Cannot recommend enough if you're in the market for a new blender. I have certain digestive issues and a blender really does wonders mechanically breaking down fibrous foods.

Very powerful, absolutely demolishes frozen fruits. Blades still sharp. It's an amazing machine. Don't be intimidated by its power, it's loud as hell and crushes whatever you put in it with ease. Easy to clean too, just fill it a little under halfway with some water and a squirt of dish soap, blend on max power for 30 seconds, then rinse it out. I seriously

We've got that exact model, and we've had it for about 5 years or so. My wife swears by Vitamix now. It's about the only brand she's loyal to.

Vitamix is more expensive outside of usa, but they are usually worth the price, mine has been working since 2019 or 2020 and has been great.

Whether you're looking for velvety green smoothies or perfectly blended margaritas, the Vitamix Explorian E310 has you covered.

I use it for everything including almond butter, acai bowls, smoothies, almond milk... it's so much more than a blender!

The Vitamix E310 is worth buying at this price for those seeking a reliable, powerful blender that lasts.
