Vitamix E320 Explorian Blender Black, 64 oz

I was skeptical. How could it be that different? I have used different blenders for decades. Mostly for soup. Did I need an extra expensive one? In a word yes. This is a completely different piece of kit. I am using it mostly for blended raw veg and fruit to make easy smoothies and increase my veg intake. It can blend anything … solid lumps of raw carrot, raw ginger lumps with skin on, turmeric root, apple with skin on, broccoli stalks.. If I have a reservation I suggest you have to watch it does not pulverise everything when you want a bit of texture. And yes it is VERY noisy. So just shut the kitchen door. Jet engines are noisy by they do the job. I suggest you don’t need the fancier ‘programmable’ models. Unless you want the smaller goblets , which would be useful. At the moment I would not be parted with it.

Blending perfect. Cleaning needs doing sooner rather than later especially the lid. Takes longer to clean than to blend but then it doesn't take long to blend !

It’s good but it’s sooo loud and unless you’ve got a low enough viscosity the higher speeds will do nothing. Also quite heavy

It’s a powerful blender which I was using a couple of times and it is really good at getting rid of all the tiny pulp and grains etc. I used it to blend up some food bits with frozen items in and it started to smoke and shut off. Maybe I have a faulty unit. This was my experiance and I have bought another one from Costco which is the same model but a lot cheaper.

The blender is workhorse unfortunately mine was delivered without a lid so returned. It was a blessing in disguise though as I have since discovered the low profile wide jug that this comes with is quite inferior compared to the slimline tall jug. The wide jug aeriates liquids and leaves chunks.

This item was delivered by amazon but didn't work. It had to be returned unfortunately.

Solid unit. In comparison to cheaper blenders this unit is heavy and solid. Well designed and built. Does an excellent job. Never had smoothies as smooth as this unit makes. One part bothers me is the fact it is only engineered and built in the USA with parts assumed to be coming from "offshore" sources.

Super Blender

I have owned a simple Vitamix (without a speed dial) and a Blendtec Designer Series blender and BY FAR this Vitamix E320 is the greatest blender I have ever owned, hands down. For one, it looks great and I love the wider blender container as my first Vitamix blender was very tall and narrow and it was difficult getting thicker sauces, hummus, etc from the bottom. In addition, this blends smoothies into silk. No other blender comes close. It's absolutely worth the money. You won't be disappointed. Thanks to many who have reviewed this as I didn't know which one to go with and happy I chose this E320.

Llegó con más aditamentos de los descuidos, pensé que solo llegaría el motor y el vaso (lo cuál fue lo que esperaba) pero además llegó con dos vasos de viaje lo cual lo hizo mucho mejor

Very good
