Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an owner of an older Vitamix, I already knew the Explorian Series E310 would be an excellent product. While it doesn’t have as many features/functions as my 6300 (which sells for twice the price), it does offer everything you need in a basic Vitamix …and MORE. To call this, or any other Vitamix machine a “blender” is a serious understatement…you can not only blend, but can make everything from frozen desserts to hot soups. Now that I have two Vitamix machines, I can simultaneously make soup for dinner, as well as dessert. Before buying my first Vitamix, I did a lot (again, an understatement) of research, primarily comparing Vitamix, Blendtec, and Ninja. After reading a few reviews & comparisons, the Ninja was quickly eliminated from contention. It took a lot more reviews & comparisons to finally realize that Vitamix was just a better product. Getting back to the E310, the Explorian Series is a new “entry-level” Vitamix series, to be positioned below their Ascent & Legacy Series, but above the Personal Series. If you’re looking for a “power blender”, I can tell you, right off the bat, remove Ninja from your list – the only real contenders are Vitamix & Blentec. Now, if you’re trying to decide between these two brands, you can do all the research you want, and, chances are, you’ll come to the same conclusion as the majority of others doing the same thing – Vitamix is a better product, Vitamix products offer better warranties, and Vitamix products last longer. Would I recommend the E310? In short, if you want the best power-blender brand, but want to keep costs to a minimum, the Vitamix Explorian E310 is the answer.

Great blender for making smoothies. I was interested in this blender for making smoothies and shakes. Works great. I tried the simple recipes in the enclosed pamphlet, and found it very easy to make smoothies and shakes. Blender did a great job of blending fruits and ice, with no problems. The blender looks pretty good. It is easy to clean and doesn't take up a lot of counter space.

This item surprisingly was pretty good for commercial use while we waited for the shipment for our commercial blender. Blends well and less noise.

Perfect size. Perfect blending capacity. Does everything my larger vitamix does, in a smaller quantity. Worth every penny.

Love vitamix. Sold construction. Does a great job blending. Use it mostly for making smoothies. Frozen fruits and veggies and it blends so quickly and smooth. Easy clean up. We have made ice cream in it as well. Super easy to use and wonderful construction. Very sturdy. A bit loud but I think is to be expected.

Good quality easy to used at a good price and i would buy this blender again.

Straight to the point: Powerful, quality, perfect, and most important reliable blender.

This is a great blender. I drink two smoothies a day and I pack my blender with lots of food. This blender was easily able to handle kale with the stalk, frozen whole strawberries, half a lemon with the grind, half a line with the grind, chia and frozen blue berries. This blender really mixes everything up and gives it a nice smooth consistency. To further test the blender I put in whole seed chia and grinder it up. The seeds turned fine and didn't get caught in the middle or heat up to much and become gooey. I liked that there are 10!different speeds to use so that you can change it while blending to make sure that you get a smooth blend and the pulse feature works well too. The only thing I wish is that it had some pre programmed setups so I could multi task as I make my breakfast and lunch while making my smoothie. Clean up was nice and easy and there are not a lot of crevices for the food to get caught in too make clean up difficult.

This is my 2 one because I have 2 home it’s the #1 blender that work for the toughest blends and even though I have my old one it still velando everything like it was the cesi day

So I got the Vitamix and did the initial cleaning. I then proceeded to give it a workout. My mom loves kimchi, but doesn't have the teeth to chew cabbage anymore. I took two large leaves of kimchi and cut it up into pieces. Most mixers sound like they're dying when you try this, but the Vitamix would blend/mince the kimchi as long and I continue to mix it by hand, getting pieces to contact the blade. I was pretty happy with that. I tried the reverse a few times and it would get an extra chop in there, but I need to use a chop stick to move the cabbage down. The Vitamix tool didn't seem to do what I wanted it to, so I went to the chopstick. All in all, it did the job and better than my other mixers including the Jack LaLanne unit. If there are any cons to the mixer, it would be the cord doesn't wind up and fit the bottom very well. The cord is a bit long and it's tough to push the plug into the base for storage. The rubber lid is bulky and not the easiest to use. Also the jar is on the small side compared to other Vitamix units and the Jack LaLanne unit. Obviously that's being petty and the unit overall is a great unit.

This Vitamix E310 Blender was an excellent addition to my kitchen. I've had quite a few blenders that failed to do the job, either because they weren't powerful enough, or the blades weren't designed well enough to produce a passable product. However, this blender does the job no problem at all. The variable speed sure makes it nice and easy to decide how things are blended. It's a lot less up to chance versus a traditional blender with multiple blend settings, where you're never sure what it'll do. There's not much negative to say about this blender. It's very well constructed and feels quite robust. I'm very happy with my blender, and would certainly recommend it to my friends.

The Vitamix E310 blender is a solidly built, husky and powerful blender. Compared to our previous blender it has a 20% larger capacity, a motor that is more than twice as powerful, weighs about 30% more, and has a warranty that is 60% longer. The E310 has turned making fresh fruit or vegetable smoothies into a quick task instead of a complex chore. Our old blender didn't handle ice cubes well so making a smoothie that needed ice required getting out the ice crusher attachment, crushing some ice cubes, switching to the blending container, and then making the smoothie. The E310 handles small amounts of ice cubes without any problems so smoothies take a third of the effort of our old blender. We also were interested in the E310 ability to make hot soups and our first attempt came out very successful and delicious. The negatives: the E310 is not an economy blender; it costs substantially more than our previous blender. The Vitamix recipes often referred to preprogramed settings with no reference to speed settings or time conversions for the E310 which does not have programs.

By Far the BEST blender I have ever spent money on. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a a vitamix, for the high quality it is worth it 100%. This blender is powerful and a breeze for making smoothies for any occasion. I just recently started to make my own peanut butter and this blender compared to a different brand makes it SO much easier. I am very impressed with how well the product mixes and becomes silky and smooth. There are several options for any occasion (huge hit on frozen margaritas). I look forward to trying to make home made ice cream in the new year. The interface is self explanatory and user friendly. I think this model is on the smaller side but it looks great on my counter!

This product durable high power and great to make smoothie . Love this

This unit is of high quality and works very well. Solid and strong motor. Easy to use, and built well.

The motor on this thing is a beast! It shreds through ice in no time for perfect smoothies. Overall it's a no-frills machine with only a pulse control, an on/off switch and a dial for the 10 speeds. What you're paying for here is the strength of the motor and overall reliability. While this doesn't come with a glass jar, the plastic one it comes with is suitable for hot liquids. In fact, you can make hot soup with the blender itself. It doesn't have a heating element, but the friction from the cutting blades will heat liquid after 10 minutes or so.

This is the only blender you should own. It makes smoothies, soups, dips, dough, milk, nut butter and performs better than any other blender I have had. It also makes the best fresh fruit margarita I’ve ever had. I like this smaller size container for most tasks, and the height allows it to site on the counter under the upper cabinets. The larger container (a separate purchase) is needed to prepare larger portions. There really are no cons to this device. I’ve had other Vitamix products that are more powerful, but the e310 is able to complete similar tasks with the same results.

I've only had this blender for a short time, and while I haven't had the opportunity to test out everything yet, the things I have made/blended have all been perfect. The power of this blender is incredible and easily beats my Ninja blender. It doesn't come with as many attachments and features as my other blenders, but it certainly beats them easily when it comes to it's blending power. It pulverizes frozen fruits to create perfect smoothies.

Love this blender. We make a lot of smoothies, but have also used it for salsa and desserts. Easy to use and great quality.

I have had 2 blenders die this year. trying an upgrade. I used the included book to make smoothies, i love how it chops the ice so much better than my old blender. It weighs several pounds, so it probably wont walk away (yes I have had that happen). There is a handy little storage under the blender (maybe not too permanent but very handy). Not as loud as my last blender, I can have a conversation with it going.
