Powerful tool for making perfect smoothies
I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first Vitamix but wow does this thing do its job perfectly. It doesn't have any preset functions but it feels bullet proof with the simple 1-10 speed settings and pulse button. I can get ice and frozen fruit blended into perfect consistency without any ice chunks in about 30 to 45 seconds depending on size of smoothie. I also like the 48 oz size container since it seems to be the right amount and creates a perfect fruit and/or veggie vortex. I was able to blend kale and spinach with green apple into a smoothie (always add water) and get consistent results like something I could order from a real smoothie shop. It cuts through the green stuff so well its almost like a juicer. If you use a strainer with the right mesh you could sift out the extra fiber to get the same result as a juicer. This blender has got me in a healthier mindset since I've been more inclined to using it for my daily nutrition. Worth every penny for me and I expect it to last 20 years with serviceable parts

    The vitamix is expensive, but worth it. The first one broke within the same day because I believe I went from low to high too quick? Still unsure what occurred. Maybe just a faulty one. Regardless, i purchased another after quite some time of it sitting in my cart and trying to re-justify spending that much on a blender (adulthood and the expenses that come along with it are indeed ghetto). This one has been great and used daily!

    It makes being healthier easier-smoothies everyday to get my fruits in! It is easy to use, it is a durable product, it is easy to clean, and it works so well to grind frozen fruit. This and my Dyson are two of my favorite expensive adult purchases! Kudos to the team that made and marketed and put it all together because it is definitely the diamond of blenders. If you have it sitting in your cart, do not second guess any longer, get it, you need it. It even heats soups!

    In terms of power, this blender is vastly superior to your run-of-the-mill blender. I like to make thick smoothies with fruit that's mostly frozen (including bananas) and my old blender would take too long to liquefy and require stirring and shaking, etc. This blender creates my perfect smoothie in about 30 seconds. It is very quiet on low speeds, but once it goes past the half-way mark the noise become too loud. At top speed it's deafening - meaning all other noises are drowned out. The other problem with it is that at high speeds it shakes and moves on the countertop. I can imagine a scenario in which someone placed the blender near the edge of a countertop and the blender "walks" right off the edge. It reminds me of the scene in "Mr. Mom" with the washing machine. Seriously: it waddles. So at high speeds you have to hold the blender in place. Personally, I can live with it but it's not ideal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and not as noisy as expected
    Reviewed in Canada on June 18, 2024
    Color: SlateStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase
    We just replaced a perfectly fine cuisinart blender with the Vitamix for making breakfast or lunch smoothies. It is very powerful and not as noisy as we thought it would be . It does get noisy at the very top speed and if you have too much frozen fruit or ice in it but no worse than the cuisinart. A couple of differences though. The vitamix is a plastic mixer bowl and the blades are permanently mounted to it. The cuisinart you spin off the bottom and can easily get at the blades to clean/examine them and the mixer is glass. Both the containers can go in a dishwasher, though with the Vitamix we have just rinsed or washed using a bit of dish soap in the mixer and running at high speed for about a minute and then rinsing. But if the blades do dull you can’t just order a new set of blades, you have to order the whole container with the blades. Overall very happy but no Vitamix is cheap.

    So far so good. Takes a bit of practice figuring out portion control, particially for smoothies, etc. Really like the simplicity of the E310, we considered the 750, but very happy with the decison to go with the E310. We haven't found the smaller container with the E310 to be an issue. The biggest issue for blending is having enough liquid, so it mixes well without getting bogged down. Mixes frozen fruit, vegetables and ice silky smooth and you can get that restaurant result. We bought the slate grey colour which is like the colour of that matte/glossy grey you see on some new vehicles. This replaced another well known brand blender we had, which still worked, but the Vitamix is definitely the champ.

    Why would Vitamix not inform users in the instruction book that the jug doesn't lock in?
    I was holding it down thinking it was faulty and may fall off.
    Google informed me that it was normal and that holding it down could damage it.
    Shouldn't have to google such an important piece of info.
    Including it in the instruction book can save hours of unnecessary troubleshooting!

    I've been using this blender almost on a daily basis since I owned it. My smoothies have never been so smooth. Even when I add chia seeds and strawberries.

    If you can afford to have this in your kitchen, I highly recommend it. It takes 10 minutes to gather all your ingredients and blend. Around 3-5 minutes to clean. Within 15 minutes, I have a nice, restaurant quality, smoothie. Very happy with the purchase.

    Soon I'll be trying to make ice cream and soups.
