Which machine fits your needs better? The most expensive or least expensive Vitamix? Or maybe one in the middle? Thanks for watching! (And a quick note, the screen on the A3500 doesn't blink like that in real life, that was my cameras shutter capturing that!)

One thing you didn’t mention is that the e310 not only has a smaller container but that is narrower, which is why I got it. You can do smaller batches with the e310. As a single person I don’t want to make smoothies for 2. I was looking for something that would do smaller batches without the need for an additional container. Also, while you do need to pay more, you can upgrade the 5 year warranty to 8 years when you purchase the blender, which I did.

[@joegilbody4878]

I have an explorian. I'm kind of a minimalist with cooking achiness. It is fine for me. I process veggies for salads. I made pancakes, smoothies, salad dressings. I am very happy with the explorian. Advanced Vitamix models are like self driving cars. I'd rather be in charge.

[@tillygirl7450]

I recently bought my Vitamix 750 for $550 because I've been wanting one ever since I started having daily smoothies since March 2021. My Oster was good, but it couldn't take it anymore and was spewing out black "dust" and it wanted to retire. The Oster's motor was 450 watts and my new Vitamix 750 is I think 1200 watts of power. I love the 64 oz. Vitamix container, and the lid is very easy to take off and put on (this was a big concern of mine) and it makes BIGGER batches of smoothies (an additional (2) 8 oz. cups over the Oster blender). Now I put in my smoothies a whole celery bunch, 2 cups Kale, 2 bananas, 1/2 English cucumber, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, and chocolate protein powder - these yields (6) 8 oz. cups of smoothies for me that last 3 days in the refrigerator. It used to take me 30 to 45 minutes to make smoothies in the Oster blender (includes prepping, cutting into smaller sizes, blending each round of veggies and finally cleaning and taking apart blender to clean each piece). Now it takes me 3 to 5 minutes (includes prepping, total blending and cleaning container). health

[@BlendGuide]

I was in the same boat when I graduated college, had a cheap blender that just couldnt keep up anymore so I started researching blenders. And it lead down this rabbit hole of testing a ton of different blenders! Haha. The difference really is huge, throwing whole ingredients into a Vitamix vs cutting everything up for a cheap blender and still not getting great results. Especially the more tougher ingredients like the celery! Congrats on the new. machine!

[@rohanlg790]

Just to add my five cents. The explorian E310 is a classic timeless design, not an old one

[@terrifictomm]

I bought my Vitamin used approximately 13-14 years ago, off of Craigslist. The woman I bought it from said she'd had it for 20 years. So, I guess it's just about 35 years old now. She sold it to me for $100 and the only thing wrong with it was one of the rubber feet was missing. I just put a plastic pillbox under it and have never bothered to look for a replacement. It' works just fine. Oh, also, the lid is missing the plastic cap that covers the tamper hole. If I think I'm gonna cause a spray I place a saucer over it. No problem. I only ever rev it up that fast when I'm cleaning it. I have looked many times into buying a brand new one; I can even afford it now! But I just can't do it because I don't spend money I don't NEED to spend! So as much as I might like a smaller profile jar, I'm not spending $150 for it when I don't need to. So I bought a 20 year old Vitamix and am still using it 14 years later. Not bad!

[@susanabushaban2719]

I have the least expensive E310 it works perfectly for everything that I need

[@chevyguy6961]

It's got the same size motor as the 5200. It's plenty big for normal household blending.

[@jeremyhagen7684]

I got the 750 that has some different settings : soup, smoothie and clean. There are a few more that I almost never use. But it’s great for smoothies, soup and cleaning setting. Also get the 32 oz container with a tamper. It’s really worth it.

[@taniaallan5702]

The 750 has the identical settings as the a3500, same motor etc. It’s a powerhouse. IMO superior because you don’t get errors and issues registering containers, plus you can get the 32oz container which is better IMO. I have bit the 48oz and the 32oz and 32oz blends better. Now…I also have the 48oz stainless steel and tend to use that more often, but that is because I prefer the material.

[@skydaddy2426]

I have the e310 as a single guy it's the best for me. I don't care about the noise and the batch size is great for me with the smaller container.

Which blender is vitamix and how do you know it is?

[@ketowolf]

Huh, great job on this video. It’s made well, I kind of figured this was a channel that’s been going on for years cause it’s made so well. So, great job on the video production and review! I debated on the high end and low end of the vitamin machines. I ended up going with the high end one, honestly just to future proof myself with all the detectable attachments and stuff like that. Also for the stainless steel look. I’m honestly a bit skeptical about the preprogrammed settings, but I’m willing to try it and see if I find them useful. :) Nice job!

[@BlendGuide]

Congrats on the new Vitamix! It's a really powerful machine and you'll have it for years. Use mine multiple times a week to make quick meals when I don't feel like cooking. As for the preprogrammed settings, I absolutely love them as I can put stuff in the blender and walk away but they do make the price higher of an already expensive machine. Just depends if its something you want! Thanks for the kind words, Keto! Really appreciate it!

Thank you for your video. Is 2500 noisy?

[@denisethompson3819]

We can live in hope. BUT saying that Vitamix is a bonza blender. I have had two. Cheaper one and the super model. All I can say is it is still noisey. But we are talking industrial. It is less noisy in a shopping centre because of vastness of space, but domestic it is like a moon launch. My final comment, the big baby could possible grind cement...but I am not going to try that. It is noisy it will always be noisy but to get a quick smooth blend I am stuck on Vitamix. I don't need a copper one or a colour coordinated one, just one that works, works fast and makes me happy at the end. PS. My dog hates it, but who the hell asks their dog if they like blenders. 🎉❤😊

Contact their customer service, I've heard great things about it. Obviously it's out of warranty, but they can probably still help you with any questions regarding repairs or may even do repairs for you for a bit of extra money. Definitely cheaper than getting a new one. I've been researching these a lot since I just bought one, and great customer service has been a point that kept coming up, so I'm sure it's worth a shot :)

I bought the 5200 about the same time, and my center knob is loose, falling off, and my motor has a screeching sound when doing something thick. It can't do peanut butter anymore without over-heating. Now it has started throwing my breaker from time to time. So I'm thinking the Explorian 320.

What's the difference between the e32o and the e310

[@KushalJoshiP]

E320 is a Costco exclusive. It is also a tad bit better than the E310.

[@Cleo_In_The_Wild]

Also the size. The e320 holds more. 310 holds 48 ounces and the 320 holds 64 ounces.

[@taniaallan5702]

Also the motor size. The e320 is a full 2.2ho like the others while the e310 is 2hp. Where this makes a difference is the smaller motor is not designed to use with a larger container than 48oz because of the extra power needed for torque on a 4” vs 3” blade. If you get 320 and want to buy a secondary smaller container (it comes with 64oz), you can. If you buy 310 and want larger, it is not recommended (by Vitamix). It can void your warranty.

[@melvinbrown3461]

[@TheRamlord]

VITAMIX is anything but reliable. After a while your highly likely run into the problem that your container does not get recognised. In my case right after purchase, basically right after unpacking, the container was not recognised. Vitamix sent me a new one but I should have already known that the design is flawed. Now, after 2.5 years, same issue, but no warranty! Meaning, the Vitamix is useless. Go for something more basic and reliable. The autodetect function is a big mess. I do not know how they could introduce such a fragile tech to the market. Go for the older version which I had earlier and was satisfied about. The new one is my opinion a scandal

[@catboy721]

Good review but I can’t shake the feeling that Vitamix reviews are a little like the Emperor Has No Clothes. No one ever questions the downsides. You pay $700 or more for a machine and yet: 1) you still have to guard again overheating - this should be automatic 2) The motor noise is insane, 3) you need to use a tamper (to help the blender) despite all the technology and blade sharpness and 4) you pay for your warranty… basically the less expensive machines aren’t built to the same standards so they’re sold with half the warranty. I know they’re great products but honestly, why do people only hear Vitamix evangelists and never the critics.
