Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had a lot of trouble with smoothies in the morning. Tampering every few seconds, motor would get stuck quite often. Kitchen aid mixer was this ones replacement. Kitchen aid model is far superior.

Hoped I would shown options. Would have been good to know.

This machine give off an odor when in use. Which also affects the taste of your blended drink. I would like to return this one for another one I like vitamin machine’s

I thought getting a Vitamix would be the most amazing blender I've ever tried. I'm honestly not that impressed. I'd save your money and get something without the "name brand" because nothing has jumped out as special with this.

Never got the product and they would help me to resolve the issue

I returned it after a year. This blender would could not break down ice

Average blender and way over priced. Do yourself a favor and buy a Ninja. Not worth the $$$

I love it. I’m able to make more smoothies at a time

Great product. Excellent buying experience at best buy.

This item works great.blends up leafy vegetables and ice very well.

The Vitamix Explorian E310 blender is an amazing blender. This little unit has a lot of power and seems to be able to cut through anything with ease. My smoothies are coming out smoother and richer than with my other name brand blender, both are great units but the Vitamix definetly out-performs when it comes to blending power. I also like that the blades will heat up items you are blending after a few+ minutes of blending. This allows you to create a quick hot soup for yourself or a couple people, in under 10 minutes. Creating nut butters will be an added bonus too, I haven't had a chance to do so yet but I hear they work very well for this. There are so many things you can prepare with a Vitamix that you could use it for practically every meal in one way or another. This is my first Vitamix and from what I've seen of other units the overall design is pretty standard and easy to use. The included blending container does move a bit when you blend, it doesn't really click into place or anything, you just line it up with the gear and set it down. however when using at high power, if you are not holding the container, it will shift position slightly then stay somewhat askew to the base. It doesn't seem to give me any problems, even when not held on-to, so I don't really have a problem with it and it may be common for Vitamix unit's, I'm not sure. Overall I am very impressed with the Vitamix Explorian blender and will highly recommend Vitamix over other name brand blenders.

This is by far the best and most powerful blender you could ever buy...there is no doubt about it! When you first take it out of the package, I will admit...its not that impressive to look at. Black cube with a dial and 2 switches on it. But once you plug this thing in and turn it on, you will be amazed at how much power it has. I started out just trying to crush a little ice...something that some blenders have a lot of trouble with. Turned it on and literally within seconds it was crushed perfectly. Next I tried a couple smoothies with whole fruits and vegetables. Put a bunch in there, turned the thing up half way, and then slowly proceeded to work my way up to the highest setting. I am fairly certain this blender has more power than some cars. It very easily liquified anything I put in there. Finally, I wanted to try and make some homemade peanut butter. Once again, I was amazed at how quickly it turned a ton of whole nuts into a creamy peanut butter spread. Finally...the cleanup. It couldn't be any easier...put in a little water, a very small amount of dish soap. Turn the thing on, and it cleans itself. Or the manual says you can also pop the container in the dishwasher too. Overall, I don't think there is anything this blender couldn't blend. It has the most powerful motor in any kitchen appliance I have ever seen. The design of it isn't much to look at. But if you need a blender that is going to get the job done time and time again, just click "Add To Cart" right now and don't look back. You will be glad you did!

Did not grind well making simple smoothies.. Bit loud.. Not good.. returned for BLENDTEC.. IT THE BEST Blendtec 650..

Ok but not as powerful and robust as my previous professional model. Just 2 of us in household now sp should be ok

Not user friendly and no pre-sets. So if you’re a beginner you’ll have to figure out speed & timing. Also the top is also difficult to pull off and container doesn’t fit in the base with ease. Not worth the headache.

There seems to be issues in the usage for smaller quantity as well as drier mixing. It works ok for juicer portion or wet grinding.

I’ve never owned anything quite like this small appliance. It’s like a blender on steroids. It has a very powerful motor that had no problem ripping into raw fruit and vegetables and no problem blending thicker recipes. I was able to make a variety of soups using fresh, raw ingredients like home grown tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, peppers, etc. This Vitamix had no problem pulverizing all the harder ingredients like carrots and even raw peppers with skins. The friction of the spinning blades heats your soup to a nice temperature for eating. Most important is that the soup never reaches a temperature that would cause a loss of nutrients from cooking the raw ingredients at a high temperature. Every recipe we tried came out smooth with no sign of hidden lumps or chunks. All the features worked as expected. I especially liked the lid which has a nifty tamper hole that allows you to add ingredients while it’s running with no blowback or mess. There were only three cons that we could identify…none of which would cause me to downgrade a review rating. First, it is very loud, but I guess it would have to be to do it's a job well. Just know that you’re not going to use this Vitamix after the kids are asleep. Second, the lid leaked just a little around the outer edge when using the Vitamix on thinner liquids. Nothing bad though. Finally, it was not able to completely pulverize raspberry seeds in a thick smoothie. Overall, I can highly recommend this Vitamix E310.

The Vitamix Explorian E-310 is my first venture in what I would call the premium blender market. Is the premium price tag justified? It just may be. My first impression while unboxing this blender was that this thing is built solid. It is a little bulkier than the value blenders and quite a bit heavier. The other thing that stuck out for me was the way the cord stores neatly underneath the base. The E-310 functions are pretty straight forward. There are 2 switches and a dial on the front. One switch is to turn the unit on and the other is for pulse action. The dial is to vary the speed of the blades. After unboxing the unit, I decided to make a smoothie. With our old value blender, it took a bit of work to get everything blended together. I just always assumed that all blenders took a bit of work. Not the Vitamix. The E-310 cut through all the fruit and mixed it up quick and efficiently. I barely had to increase the variable speed. Ice cubes in my old value blender would end up as chips, in the Vitamix, they were barely noticeable. Cleanup was easy as well. The container can be washed in the dishwasher, but we chose to use the process on page 6 of the manual. Basically, we put water and a couple drops of dishwasher soap in the container, turned the unit on, varied the speed from 1 to 10 and back down again. This cleaned the unit up quite nicely. In my old value blender, I had to unscrew the base, clean up the blades, and clean up the gasket material. The Vitamix's sealed system makes cleanup very easy. Volume level for this kind of performance was quite surprising. For being a more powerful device, the Vitamix is actually quieter than my value blender. The only thing I'm disappointed in, is that the container is so small. It's fine for two people, but it doesn't have the capacity for a family. Not much else to say about the Vitamix Explorian E-310. It blends well and is definitely worthy of the Vitamix name.

The Vitamix Explorian Series E310 Blender is a flexible, easy to use blender with a very powerful motor. It is very simple to use and maintain and is a very well respected brand of home and professional blenders. It comes with a 48 oz container that is simple to read and keep clean. The front only has three control options. There is a pulse options of the variable speed setting, a variable speed dial with 10 speeds and a on and off switch. For its size it will take up a good bit of your counter space. But if you are a person who uses a blender a lot this is the type of unit that will provide daily service. I would not say it is an attractive unit but if function follows form it makes it clear on first look it is a high quality appliance. You can spend much less for a blender so this is a purchase for those that really need this level of performance. I can say it delivers for either the professional or amateur chief.

I considered buying a Vitamix a few years ago and went with a higher end general brand. It worked OK but I was looking for something that would really blend and make great smoothies. The Vitamix presents like a commercial blender. It is durable, easy to manipulate and performs extremely well. It doesn't bog down and has the power it needs to get the job done. It is variable speed so you are not locked into preset speeds. My smoothies came out great. One way I always test a blender is how it pulverizes ice. The Vitamix passed the test and makes snow cones or margaritas with ease. I won't use anything else after using this. It's worth it for sure.
