Great value and great product
I finally broke down and bought the E310 Vitamix for Christmas and it has been the gift that keeps on giving! I don't know what took me so long. I love that it has all the features that I need and none that I don't. It's also super easy to clean. We're are still experimenting, but have so far made a velvety smooth butternut squash soup, creamed "neeps" (turnips) that were delicious, and yummy smoothies. My husband doesn't like his smoothies as cold as I do, so I just run the Vitamix a little longer until it's the perfect temperature for him--a great hack that doesn't require diluting with warm water or waiting around for it to melt to be drinkable.

5200 since 2010 and still moving on
i bought my vitamix in 2010 the 5200 series. i worked in managing bakeries for 46 years.....yes 46 years and knew the power and abilities of vitamix. my husband is diabetic and had kidney problems as well, so i retired and stayed home to try and help him eat right. these little beauty has helped me create yummy soups, delic. ice cream, pancake batters, dressings with all made for a diabetic. i use only coconut as flour base for most receipes and this machine handles all heavy jobs. i use this little honey several times a day and i hangs in there. thank you for such a great machine.

MUCH Better Than the More Expensive Ones
I bought the Professional Series 750 2 years ago and it is HORRIBLE! Finally, I managed to completely break it (probably my subconscious bad energy...)
I didn't even bother trying to deal with the warranty because - just like my review of the 750 - I am still too lazy to fool with the paperwork.
I just cut my losses and bought the E310.
I think the difference is the container - that 64 oz container is too wide at the bottom and everything would splatter.
This one is MUCH better! Just like my old classic machine, it made my morning smoothie perfectly and did not stress me out!
My lesson - more expensive does not always mean better!

It's changed my eating habits...
I'm single so spending a lot of time in the kitchen to prepare a meal for one person isn't that fun. This product has helped me to simplify how I prepare foods.
Specifically, I can prepare nutritional meals in minutes using whole foods. I can quickly create a smoothie choked full of vegetables or fruits to perfection to start my day in a healthy way. I love the fact I can create fresh hot single serving soups for lunch or dinner. No freezing of the excess or having to consume the same soup day in day out (variety is the spice to life). Since purchasing, I've found myself eating more healthy and not using my microwave.
Of course, if you need larger quantities, it certainly can handle that too. LOVE IT! It's been a game changer for me!

Perfect Everyday Blender
I start each and every day with a blender, and this Vitamin makes that process 100x easier. From the speed of the machine to the ease of cleanup I couldn't picture starting my day off in an easier fashion.
Not only is it amazing for smoothies and juices, it also is the perfect vehicle for whipping up delicious soups.
The ease of functionality is also a big perk for me. I love being able to turn on the machine, pour myself a cup of coffee, and walk back over to a perfectly blended smoothie every morning.
Note: I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review, but the opinions above and below are my own and truthful to my experience with the machine.

Love my Vitamix!!
Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
I'm a food blogger who is constantly using my Vitamix for recipe development, and this guy definitely does the trick! I've used it for cashew cheesecakes, nut butters, SUPER thick smoothie bowls (gotta use the tamper, but it works!), smoothies, batters, and hummus so far, and I've only had it for a few weeks.
The size is definitely smaller than my previous Vitamix, and that one will likely be the go-to for soups, but I love that this one fits under my cabinets so I can store it on the counter top, and it's perfect for using everyday. It blends like a dream and is a must-have if you're a frequent cook.

Replaced my older one
I bought my original Vitamix in 1986. It was still going stronger until 1 hard plastic piece split. It held the little peg at the bottom of the pitcher. I tried to get it replaced, but the company was not responsive and there was a choice of 2 types and I didn't know which one. So gave up and instead of paying $18 for a replacement part, spent $299 on a new one. I love the shorter pitcher as it now fits under the cabinet. It is basically the same base with a new look and hope I can get another 30 years (even though the 1st one came with a life time warranted and now they have only 5 years.

So Powerful and Compact!
*I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review but all opinions are my own.
I’ve had a 5200 Standard C-Series for about 5 years (it’s still as good as new by the way), so when I got the E310 Explorian Series I was a little worried that the variable/high switch on the left was gone. Instead there is a “pulse” switch.
Every time I throw the switch to high on the 5200, there is a huge kick in power. With it gone, I was concerned that the E310 wouldn’t have as much power. But I was wrong. Soups get hot just as fast in the E310 as the 5200. The same creamy and silky smooth texture is also achieved.
And that’s proven true for everything else I’ve tried in the E310. No chunks of frozen fruit are left in my smoothies and it grinds seeds into flour like a dream.
Design wise, there are a lot of small details that make the E310 easier to store and use. The short container size allows the E310 to fit under my cabinets on my countertop. The cord is a lot longer and on the bottom there are nice grips that you can coil the cord around for neat and tidy storage. I adjusted mine for my counter space and then left it alone. It’s hard to see in pictures, but the sides of the base also slope up a little, forming a slight ledge that makes picking up or moving the E310 around a lot easier.
If you are used to the larger container size, you might have to adjust how much you put in the 48-ounce container. The first few times I put too much in and when I hit variable 10 there was some spillage.
What I've done with it: creamy and smooth hot soups, gazpachos, slightly chunky hot soups, frozen fruit smoothies, nut butter, nut flour, ground spices
What didn't work for me: I haven't been able to properly mix pastry dough with it, the Vitamix blades are way too powerful
