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.

The most I paid for a blender but the most powerful one I ever had. It can blend barely cut up carrots, chunks of garlic and ginger very easily. I only have to use low to medium blending range. It's powerful and the perfect size for 2 people. Great deal online compared to what I was about to pay at Fred Meyer. Easy to clean and good instructions. Good warranty from Vitamix as well.

It’s as good as they say it is. A real life saver, literally. I use this to make blended food for my daughter who is Tube fed. It makes everything into a perfect formula. Even the harder meats! We blended pork chops and it had no problems and I haven’t even turned it past 7 yet! I was worried about this purchase because it’s a huge expense for a blender for it not to work but it was exactly what we needed. And it has a 7 year warranty that was easy to set up, I just scanned the code and filled out a form. If you're a tube parent, caregiver or have a feeding tube yourself this blender is exactly what you’re looking for. And if your just looking for a great blender then your in luck it blends whole meals, meat, vegetables, bread and potatoes to a smooth liquid.

Our friends who have had one of these for decades talked us into buying one. We are not disappointed! It makes things very smooth! It also makes soup. The heat must come from the friction of the blade going around. But it makes soup, given time! We mostly use it for smoothies and blending creamed soups. The extra tools are nice. They help get food out from around the blades. I am glad I got those. The plunger is a must. It is engineered to push food toward the blade but it is not long enough to get caught in the blade. Very sturdy and reliable.

I start each day with a smoothie. I make them in a blender with milk, yogurt, tofu, fresh and frozen fruit. When I started this routine, I used my Cuisinart blender. This was NOT an inexpensive blender. It didn't cost anywhere near what this Vitamix cost, but it also was not a bottom of the line blender. The entire time I used the Cuisinart, I had to be very careful about how I added the frozen fruit. I had to use the pulse setting every time and the smoothies still often contained chunks of fruit that had not blended much at all. Eventually, the blender began slipping and the motor would overheat. It was time for a new blender. After a great deal of consideration, we decided to take the plunge and invest in this Vitamix. The first thing we noticed about this blender is how much larger the base is than the Cuisinart. It's larger because it has a much larger motor. That larger motor makes such a difference. I just have to say, WOW! Smoothies are sooooo much easier to make with this machine. I can just dump everything in the pitcher, run the blender for about 10-15 seconds and I have a perfectly blended smoothie. No more chunks of partially blended strawberries to clog my straw. (Yes, I use reusable straws!) Because of when the Cuisinart died, this Vitamix ended up being an early Christmas gift. Although I expected to use this blender primarily for smoothies, I found it came in very handy for my holiday baking. When I discovered I was short of powdered sugar at 10:00 one night after I had already made two trips to the grocery store that day, I discovered that my Vitamix could make powdered sugar out of granulated sugar and a bit of corn starch. It also did a great job of grinding up cookies for another recipe. I was a bit skeptical about the cleaning directions when I bought the blender. Now that I've been following those directions for several weeks, I have to say I LOVE being able to just rinse the pitcher, fill it half full with hot water and drop of dishwashing liquid, run it on high for half a minute, rinse everything again and set it in the drainer to dry. I was also happy to read in the manual that one is able to run the pitcher and lid through the dishwasher if preferred. There are even instructions for how to sterilize the pitcher with bleach or vinegar if needed. The bottom line is that this blender is outrageously expensive, but if you are going to use your blender a lot, having a super powerful blender is probably a really good idea and this is just how much they cost. In the end, I'm glad we spent the money to buy this blender.

Wow, this Vitamix blender I purchased is extremely durable, has awesome power and so easy to clean. It is quite loud on high speed, but hey...I can live with that since it blends the creamiest smoothies ever.

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.

I am upgrading from a Nutri-Bullet 600 watt unit which I will say I did love for the last 5 years. However now that I wanted to start blending things like carrots, dates, ginger, kale, spinach etc. the nutri bullet was just not doing a good enough job so I decided to upgrade. I did extension research on all the available blenders out there and settled on this one. I have used it 3 times so far and holy **** does this thing pulverize anything you put into it. When you start this thing on setting 1 and slowly ramp it up to setting 10 it sounds like a jet engine starting up. (THIS UNIT IS NOISY BUT TO ME THAT IS A GOOD THING. YOU KNOW ITS DAMN POWERFUL) If it bothers you throw some earplugs in when using it. That's what I do. The results are worth it. I have seen a couple of people mention that it doesn't lock into the base. That to me is a good thing as it will stop the stress of the motor when starting and stopping or using the pulse feature. It hasn't caused me any issues at all./ I have seen other people mention that you cant take the blades out. Again to me that is a huge bonus. No removable parts or O-rings which can fail in the future and cause leaking. If you clean it right away you wont have any issues. You can also dump some hot water and soap and blend it for 60 seconds and that will clean anything out of it. As for the final product. My smoothie experience has just gone from a 5 to a 10. Wow it is just so damn smooth. I love making smoothies now. This is by far the best investment I have ever made and I guarantee you wont be disappointed. If loud bothers you then don't by a high powered blender. Simple. By a low powered one and have lumpy smoothies. If you can overcome that awesome Jet engine blending power then this is the product for you. I AM BY NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THIS COMPANY. JUST CHECK OUT SOME OF MY OTHER REVIEWS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT. I AM AN UNBIASED AMAZON VIEWER WHO LIKES TO HELP PEOPLE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU.
