Very Cheaply Made
I bought this blender at Costco because it was on sale and a very good deal. Got it home opened it up to find that it was very cheap feeling. The tamper is hallow and feels like a little kid's plastic baseball bat toy. The dial is very loose feeling and has no real resistance while turning. Also, the pitcher does not feel like it sits very securely on the base, it is loose and slides around. I am very disappointed and I returned it to Costco unused. I feel like Vitamix is not living up to the standards they supposedly have with this model and because of that, I am now skeptical about considering getting a different model from them.

Best Smoothie Ever / Too Noisy / Keeps moving
I bought vitamix E320 from costco yesterday and i was so excited to try it after reading so many good things about vitamix.Tested with couple of recipes
Pro:
Makes great smoothie
Soups
Cons:
Too noisy
The blender keeps moving when you increase the speed above 5 and whole counter top is shaking.
No proper manual to try the recipes.The book given has a general recipes but not related to this model specific
Thinking of returning because of the noise level.

Best blender
Many of the reviews on the page I read were given after a free blender was given to the user in exchange for their honest opinion. Not really the best way to get an honest opinion. And not really necessary. I bought my Vitamix 15 years ago with my own money. Quite expensive at the time , but highly recommended by a dear friend. Never disappointed in its use . Powerful. Easy to clean. After 15 years, how do I get on that supposed free blender list ?

Love it
We bought the E320 about three weeks ago and love it! We’ve made smoothies and soups so far and the blending has been flawless. Yes, it was louder than expected at first and it did shake a little. After about a week of use though, the motor broke in and the vibrations and noise has actually gotten better. We love our Vitamix and can’t believe we lived so long without one.

Not happy
Vitamix failed on me 3 times. I used to have 5200 but the motor broke down on me twice within 3 years. I only make smoothie and baby food. So went back to costco and I exchanged to E320 since that's the only model they had.
Loved 5200 beside it broke down on me so fast when I only used it few times a month. E320: very unhappy with this. Thinking of if I should return it. It's super loud, can't mix small amount, blender moves around so I have to hold on to it with my life, fruits get stuck under the blade, I have to add lots of liquid to make any smoothie or it doesn't blend well.

An Everyday Lifesaver
This is my second Vitamix (my first was a C series). The Explorian is a much more convenient everyday best friend - it's got your back for whipping up a quick soup, smoothie, hummus or salad dressing or whatever else you dream up. It's easier to manage than the C series, while it's also a fantastic Vitamix it can be a bit clunkier.
Lately I've been using my Vitamix to compost food scraps to act as a regenerating compound, rather then toss scraps into the trash. Composting with a Vitamix has made it so easy to be environmentally responsible, it's become nearly a full time habit of mine. It's actually a really fun activity to involve kids with if you have them - when was the last time you played with your food?! All you do is put food scraps into the Vitamix with a bit of water, and blend it all up, then pour onto soil. I can't wait see what my garden looks like in the spring.

Vitamix, my new lover!!!
I had the vitamix 6500 for the last 5 months. Love love love it!!! It made the best best smoothie ever with the pre programmed function. Unfortunately, all of a sudden, it got REALLY REALLY loud and started to shake. I finally can't handle the noise and took it back to the store.
I saw the E320 on sale at Costco today, and give it a try since it has the same H.P of 2.2 same as the 6500. Very sad!! According to the recipe book, it says 45 seconds for smoothie, but it wasn't smooth at all. So I blend it again for another 1 minute. Still not smooth so I turned to 5. As soon as I turned it to 5, the machine started to jump/shake. I m going to give it another try tomorrow. If it's still not smooth enough, I will have to return it. But I can't live without a vitamix (smooth smoothie). I still don't know which one I should get next. if no other choices, I will probably go back to the 6500 and will ask my husband to build me s box/cover to put over the blender while it's running to eliminate the noise.

A Wonderful Blender: The Best We Have Owned!
We have had our E320 for approximately 2 months now, and it has completely surpassed my expectations. We previously had a Blendtec that retailed for almost double of the cost of this one. And while our Blendtec had all the bells and whistles and a touch screen display, the performance of it (what really matters!) was far inferior to our new Vitamix. I love that the Vitamix truly blends together everything and doesn't leave large pieces or chunks (something our old blender did do). I also love that look of the Vitamix. Even though it is large, it is a beautiful piece of kitchen equipment, and I actually just leave it right out on my counter at all times.
We have used this blender so far for frozen treats, batters, smoothies and shakes and even soups. I have been so impressed with our Vitamix I will never go back to another brand and am not sure why it took me so long to make the switch.
If you are on the fence about a new blender I cannot recommend the Vitamix brand enough. Their quality, design and functions are all incredible. The E320 is also an incredible value, price-wise.
