Why We Love It

This is the blender that professional chefs and serious home cooks swear by. Unlike typical blenders that leave chunks and uneven textures, the Vitamix creates a perfect vortex that pulls ingredients down into the blades for consistently smooth results every time. The E310 is Vitamix's entry point into their premium lineup, giving you the same motor performance as their legendary 5200 at a more accessible price. Once you go Vitamix, you never go back.

Pro Tips

1
Start on speed 1 and quickly increase to 10 for smoothest results
2
Use the tamper to push ingredients into the blades without stopping
3
For hot soups, blend on high for 5-6 minutes—friction creates heat
4
Freeze ripe bananas for creamy, ice cream-like smoothie texture
5
The smaller 48-oz container works better for single servings than larger pitchers

Care & Maintenance

Self-clean after each use: add warm water and a drop of dish soap, blend 30-60 seconds
For stubborn residue, fill with warm water and let soak before blending clean
The container is top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing extends its life
Never put the motor base in water—wipe with a damp cloth
Store the lid off to prevent odors in the container
