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!)
Is the e320 as good too? Bcuz I wanted to order tht one st Costco. 😫. Pls help me out if u think I can go for the e320.
Thank you for clarifying that a 10-year warranty is twice as long as a 5-year warranty. I appreciate that.
@@ultarivera2813 yes the 320 a great machine! A true workhorse

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.
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.
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).

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!
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!
Wow what model do you have
@@susanabushaban2719
The old one!
Literally, it has no model number.
I have the least expensive E310 it works perfectly for everything that I need
It's got the same size motor as the 5200. It's plenty big for normal household blending.
I just like the simple e320 its all you need anything more is just more things to break
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.
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.
Just to add my five cents. The explorian E310 is a classic timeless design, not an old one
I purchased my first vitamix in 2021 the a3500 in black stainless steel. I use it just about everyday and I luv it.
I have the Explorian E320. I love it. I have the 64 oz lower profile pitcher. I have bought the 48 oz pitcher too. I even bought one that muddles. Love that for lemonade. 😊😊😊 I also bought the scale. I don't mind the noise. I also have a Ninja.
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.
Pro 750 heritage series with true stainless metal base casing. Love. I’ve had it since summer 2016. Wish they would bring this back. Not everyone wants the digital one that can be temperamental and register errors/not recognize the container and then run.
Update…I bought the a3500 in brushed stainless steel finish. I do love it but still love my Pro 750 heritage and am keeping her too. Best of both worlds.
Very good comparable review. It caters to the need and preference of people that want to buy Vitamix.
Awesome, and thanks for the kind words!
Which blender is vitamix and how do you know it is?
What's your view on the Venturist V1200? I'm undecided between that one and the Pro 750.
Great review
What is the decibels of the ascent?
Great Video. Thank You!
I purchased the 5300 on sale for $300. Stores like Cosco and Sam’s’s will always have a $300 full sized vitamix hiding somewhere.
That's a great price on the 5300. I really like mine.
Thank you for your video. Is 2500 noisy?
At 4:26 should have held it down or put a cinder block on it to stabilize it.
do the 2500 and the 3500 have the same loudness levels?
Simple is best imo. Less to break.
I thought I was going to see some comparison blending
He does the advertising for the expensive ones. The cheap one is as good like others !
@@georgeniculae1234Q
Great video, Could you do some blending videos? I got the A3500 for Christmas, and would love to see your channel grow with blending videos.
Hey there Annette, thanks for the suggestion! What type of videos would you like to see? I'm going to start making more videos for this channel, so open to suggestions. Thanks, Keith.
@@BlendGuide Thanks so much. Your channel is exactly what I wanted. Love your attitude.
Very informative video! You didn't mention anything about the tamper. Does it come with entry series? or, just the Ascent? Can the tamper be used in smaller containers as well as the larger ones? Thanks.
Every Vitamix comes with a tamper, but don't use a long tamper on a short jar and vice versa! They are designed to NOT touch the blades!
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!
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!
I got E310, tech monitor is difficult to me.
Does The A3500 has smaller glasses also? Thank you!
Is the a2500 the same noise as the more expensive version?
No mention of a2300?
Excellent tutorial….!
Can be use for commercial ?
Only pre sets and timers they all work great
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. 🎉❤😊
How wud u rate Costco’s A2300?
I like vitamix and I watch and looking for a year and think to much for my cost, I aware for size for puton the counter top, under cabinet what size for A3500 if I put complete set on the top, another things are can I change the container to small size like 48 oz.
Do you still recommend the A3500?
Are you able to add a bigger jug capacity (2L rather than 1.4L) to the E310?
vitamix recommends only the standard tall 64 oz, not the short profile 64 oz.
E310 is great for most people, but i prefer the narrower base on the 5200 container.
Very helpful, thank you. For the 3500, can you really walk away though while a program is running? It looks to me that that blender jar is not actually fixed in place (4:27), is it safe to leave it unattended?
The best part of Vitamix 3500 is that it washes itself!
No, the 3500i should be less noisy due to its metal body.
They all do 😊
what's the noise difference between your A2500 and A3500?
@@ayylmao5919 Read the question again.
If you get the smaller stainless steel 48oz. Container what's the point of the bundle of smaller 8oz. And personal cup set with the blade attachment?
Does the e320 grind grain into flour or sugar into powder sugar?
It can but the dry container will do a better job of it than the wet one will due to differences in the blades, and the internal shape of the jar.
On the less expensive one, do you have to told onto the top to keep the container from moving around on the motor?
Nope! I have it and its fine on its own!!
@@1993rufus can you make a nuts milk with it? Do you recommend the less expensive? Please help me because I want to buy one
@@arwamo4948 yeah, the motors on the super expensive vs Costco and cheaper ones is basically the same, Like 0.5 horsepower more and obviously the look but i have q cheaper one and yes, you can make Nut Milks, butters, ice cream, and hot soups just fine!
Can a Vitamix be repaired? I have the 5200 from 2005 knob missing and motor sounds like its struggling I still use it though.
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.
Thank you.
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
they should have locking jars to the base
I love my A3500!
Best vitamix for smoothies
I got lucky I picked up a renewed E520 for 229 and 5 year warranty
Have a 5200 it will not stop working like the day I got it. I'm ok with the noise
What's the difference between the e32o and the e310
E320 is a Costco exclusive. It is also a tad bit better than the E310.
Also the size. The e320 holds more. 310 holds 48 ounces and the 320 holds 64 ounces.
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.
@@taniaallan5702 Thanks for your great advice take care and thanks again
Actually for the e310 vitamix recommends the 64oz tall container that comes with the 5300.
I’m gonna buy a Blendtec 725
Thx
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the video
Can the E310 make soft icecream
Thanks for the video.
Earlier this year when I was shopping for a blender, I considered the following:
Vitamix A3500 blender $600
Vitamix A2500 blender $500
Vitamix 5200 blender $429
Vitamix E310 blender $300
Ninja BL610 blender $80
It’s just so bulky I don’t have space and the noise will bother me, they are so loud
99 cent ear plugs
Blend It Up 😊
PS?.. it is very good making paper mache. Glue in it and all. BUT I AM NOT ADVISING THAT YOU SHOULD. 😊
Any vitamix is great just not as many presets
Simple is always Better
I prefer a quiet blender.
I don’t know if you already purchased one, but the Ascent series is still very loud. I’ve not compared, but as someone who owns an Ascent blender, I can say the high power levels required for smoothies is very loud
@@madeleine363 As the owner of a black stainless A3500, I agree with your evaluation. The Accent series is my fourth Vitamix blender, and while I have not observed the different models side by side with a decibel reader, I would say the difference, if any, is negligible. That said, I absolutely love my A3500.
I have the A3500 now first Vitamix I bought & I love it.
Really? No dB or video about the sound? A tad disappointing.
Hey there, I did include this - at 2:47 and 3:49 !

K.I.S.S. Vitamix 5000 (E310 w. the original, and best 64 oz. tall container)
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
Did this happen with the a3500 or which model?
I have had my Vitamix E320 for over 6 years. My son makes smoothies almost every day & sometimes twice. It's an amazing machine & definitely worth the investment.
I have the legacy 5200 and it looks just like your cheap one only has the tall 64oz jar, which is what I selected. I wanted simplicity and it’s perfect. You go on about the noise, well it’s basically noise free compared to a Blendtec. Horrible blender. I love my Vitamix. You get what you pay for. Quality..
The
Because of the horrible Vita-Mix marketing, this video is just wrong:
The best Vita-Mix blender is actually the Vita-Prep 3. It only shows up on the "Commercial Products" section. It's buried. It costs $683 as of 11/23. Peak 3 HP motor and tons of cooling. It's a beast that makes the other "consumer" Vita-Mix blenders look like expensive but cheap toys.
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.
I have had my Vitamix E320 for over 6 years. My son makes smoothies almost every day & sometimes twice. It's an amazing machine & definitely worth the investment. I have a Ninja & while I do love the bowl for mixing batters, I was never satisfied with the smoothies. I wanted the consistency that I get from the store. The Vitamix gives me that. I can get a great smoothie whenever I want at home. This was definitely a game changer!!
E310 and Experian are TOO LOAD. I bought one felt like my brain was RATTLING .
It needs to be DISCOUNTED.
