Q: Can it be uses as a juicer.
submitted by Glo - 6 months ago
A:Â Hi! Because the Vitamix is a whole food machine, it is much different from a juicer and will not be able to extract the juice from produce the way a standard juicer does. However, you can still use your Vitamix to make delicious whole juices! Simply add in your produce with at least enough water to cover the blades (you may want to add more to make a thinner mixture), then blend on high until smooth. Once the mixture is to the consistency you need, stop your Vitamix and remove the container from the motor base. Take a cheesecloth or one of our nifty filtration bags, and place in a large bowl. Pour the mixture from your Vitamix container into the cheesecloth or filtration bag slowly, then gather up the edges and squeeze out the juice into the bowl! You can then discard the pulp or add it to your compost!

Q: Can you upgrade the pitcher to a 64 oz. on this Explorian model?
submitted by LBahn - 7 months ago
A:Â If you wanted the 64 oz. container it would be an additional purchase for your machine, they can not be swapped out. Almost all of our other model do come standard with a 64oz. container.
submitted byVitamix Team - 6 months ago
Brand expert
A:Â Hi! The E310 is unique in that it is our only machine that comes with a 48oz container. To get the 694oz container it would be an additional purchase. If you only need the one container, we would suggest our other models that all come with the 64oz container.

JenChi - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
Much quieter than my ninja but it dies almost every single time I try to make a smoothie. It randomly stops working and then won’t work again for 45 mins?! I’m gonna be returning sadly. My husband surprised me w this for Christmas and I was so excited but I honestly think my ninja is better. Crazy it just turns off while I’m just blending a smoothie, every time!

I bought a refurbished Explorian over two years ago, and I am still in love with it! I use it to make all my favorite recipes. It works amazingly well for hummus, salsa, homemade nut butter and milks, and smoothies, of course! I use it a few times a week and I am still so impressed with the function. Only thing is I wish I would have went with the larger container size! Love, love, love my Vitamix!!!!

Wanted to like it badly. Didn’t work. It would shift at the base when I turned it on and wouldn’t blend anything well. The blades got stuck all the time. Had to return.

This old rancher...

RancherMark - 2 months ago

My doc has been hounding this old rancher for years to eat healthier. So I finally broke down and purchased a blender. I liked the reviews on this one as being simple, powerful, and could do the job. Wow...am I ever impressed! I had my first smoothie tonight with pears, apples, celery, some fancy almond milk, and a dash of cinnamon. It was absolutely fantastic. I followed the clear instructions that came with the blender - and it performed exactly as advertised. I'm a new Vitamix fan - and a healthier rancher to boot!

Dr John - 2 months ago

...more than 20 years ago. It's still working like new, and it changed my life to the extent hat I just purchased a second 5200 for a vacation home. Besides the refrigerator, the Vitamix is far and away the most used appliance in my home. Some years ago I lost 40 or 50 pounds over a period of months by using the Vitamix dramatically to increase my consumption of fruits and especially vegetables. Normally I'm not a fan of vegetables unless they're raw and drenched in blue cheese dressing, which kind of defeats the purpose if you're interested in healthy eating. But this machine blends any combination of any of them in as many different ingredient combinations as you can dream up, creating an endless variety of perfectly liquified vegetable, fruit, and vegetable/fruit beverages which make getting a full day's supply of things like spinach, kale, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, peas, lima beans, etc. etc. etc. easy to swallow, very tasty, and so widely varied so they just never become boring or routine. Add protein powder (I particularly like 100% pea protein powder) and this becomes a daily breakfast that hits all the day's recommended vegetable intake requirements and usually holds me til dinner. Two decades ago the sticker price made me reluctant to try it. The reviews then convinced me to try. It was the best money I've ever spent, worth every dime. It operates now just as smoothly and effectively as it did then. The only change I've made was to invest in one of the stainless steel containers a few years ago b/c I found the plastic one a little difficult to keep perfectly clean. (You don't want to put it in a dishwasher.) But the stainless steel version cleans up thoroughly by using a half cup or so of water and a drop or two of dish detergent and processing it for maybe a minute. If you're on the fence, get off it. You're not going to regret this purchase for a minute. Your grandkids could very well inherit it and I'd be surprised if it didn't work just as well then as it does now. I don't know how they get this quality and durability at *any* price point.

I have had my Vitamix for about 10 years and use it daily. My plan is to have it forever. It is not a throw away appliance. If you want to change your eating habits, this is the blender for you. I have personally purchased a Vitamix for a wedding gift and for both of my daughters.
