Title: Vitamix is the best blender
Review: 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.

Title: This is a great blender!
Review: My E310 VitaMix Explorian blender arrived today and I wasted no time trying it out. I made smoothies and was very happy with how easy it was to blend the ingredients into a perfectly smooth drink. I then cleaned the pitcher according to the instructions by filling it half-way with warm water and a drop of dish soap and blending for a minute or so. Voila! It was clean. Later, I put the spinach I had dehydrated into the pitcher and in less than a minute I had a beautiful, fine, green powder. I’d been using a coffee grinder to make my powders. That was tedious as it took SO long to do what my VitaMix did in a minute! I couldn’t be happier with this blender. It’s my first quality blender (I’ve only had cheap department store models in the past.) I LOVE the fact that this blender is made in the U.S.A.! And it shows. The engineering is outstanding. All components are designed with quality and durability in mind. The last blender I had was an Oster blender I bought locally. It was cheap, but I thought with the Oster name I should be getting a decent product. It was not. It did a poor job and sounded like a jackhammer. This VitaMix is loud, but it’s not annoying at all. It is powerful and the motor reflects that. 🙂 I would absolutely recommend this blender to a friend.

Title: Really great, absurdly priced, but worth it
Review: I've used this for a few months now, and I really balked at the price for the initial purchase. But the construction is Rock solid, it does the job perfect every single time, it's easy to clean and maintain.It's an excellent kitchen tool. And at the end of the day I think it was worth it

Title: Brilliant
Review: I should have bought one of these 10 years ago because I've wasted 3-times more than the cost on Ninja and NutriBullet "upside down blenders that leak and break inside of 18 month's usage. Granted, I use the E310 for, aside from protein smoothies, bulletproof coffee. Its a bad idea to blend hot coffee under pressure but that's what I did for the past year with a Ninja. I got fed up with leaks and vacuum pressured screw off caps, disaster was always around the corner. The E310 is an absolute gem. If you blend daily, think about how many $150 blenders you'll go through in the next 6 years, add in the frustration, then consider one of these.

Review: Been using this blender for about 6 months now. It’s a solid blender, comparable to the old 5000 series vitamix and does everything I hoped a vitamix would do.Pros-powerful (variable speeds with fast top end speed. Breaks through ice with ease)-smaller container is good as it fits under kitchen cabinets better, easier to clean, and is better for doing small smoothie portions which is what I generally make. You can always buy the bigger container later if you are looking to do a high volume smoothies, soups, etc.-price (being an entry level model it’s much cheaper. It doesn’t have the timed settings, but I’m my opinion those are a gimmick (as long as you have speed settings and an on/off button you’re good to go with blenders.Cons-vibration, when reading reviews there was complaints of vibration. I have noticed a bit of a vibration especially starting a harder blend with lots of ice. The vibration goes away once the ice crushes down a bit. Just put on hand on the top until the ice smooths out a bit and it’s all good.-noise (to be expected), all vitamixes are notoriously noisy because of their power, not a huge con but it’s why Starbucks uses those sound proof containers-plastic knobs feel cheap, not an issue but compared to their older models these knobs feel like a cheap appliance and could be a weak point in the future.Overall it’s a good blender, and if you can get it on sale in the low $300s I would recommend.
