Differences & Similarities: Vitamix e310 vs 5300

Vitamix e310 and Vitamix 5300 have many similarities and a few differences. Let’s read about them in detail.

Here comes the first difference: in terms of motor power, Vitamix e310 and 5300 are different. Vitamix e310 has 2-peak motor power, while Vitamix 5300 has a 2.2-peak hp motor power. Vitamix 5300 is slightly better at blending or grinding any items.

But there is a thermal protection system, and a radial cooling fan is available that keeps the motor base cool during the blender in use and makes sure you can use the blender for a few minutes.

Blade 

These two blenders provide a laser-cut stainless steel blade which is very sharp and durable. You don’t need to replace the blade since Vitamix provides a high-end blade as well. When cleaning or pouring ingredients into the container, handle the blade with care. Or else it may cut your finger.

Easy to Use and Clean 

Both Vitamix is easy to use, as well as clean. All you need to do is – add ingredients to the container, then attach it to the motor base. Next, start and set up the speed.

Cleaning is a breeze for the Vitamix blender – it needs warm water and a dishwasher to clean the container. You can wipe clean the motor base.

Speed Control 

Vitamix Explorian and Vitamix Classic have 10-variable speed control with the pulse button. The speed control can be used while the blender in operation provides you with the texture or consistency of the recipe you want. Vitamix also contains a pulse button that lets the user blend or grind the toughest items within seconds.

Container 

The containers of these two blenders are different – if you have a small family or a single person, Vitamix e310 would definitely be the best choice since it has a 48-oz container that is BPA-free.

On the other hand, Vitamix 5300 provides a 64-oz container, which is large enough to prepare a large family meal. If yours is a little family, then the Vitamix e310 container could be your choice, or else go with the Vitamix 5300 if you have a large family.

Noise Level 

Vitamix e310 and 5300 are high-end blenders, so while the blenders are in use, they are a little noisy. For people who do not like the noise level, Vitamix e310 and 5300 will not be a good choice for you.

But there are not blenders available that are noiseless. Vitamix blenders are high-quality blenders, so these will be noisy.

Versatile Blender 

Both Vitamix e310 and Vitamix 5300 can prepare hot soups and smoothies to freeze everything in between. That’s why Vitamix is a popular blender name for its versatility.

You can virtually prepare pizza dough, batter for cake, ice cream, nut butter, and so on. Also, Vitamix e310 and 5300 can be used as a mini food processor – this will help reduce stress from cooking.

Moreover, you can chop vegetables or fruits and crush ice in the Vitamix within seconds.

Vitamix 5300 provides a low-profile 64-oz container, a low-profile tamper, a motor base, and a getting started guide, including the recipe.

Warranty 

Vitamix 5300 has a 7-year standard warranty, while Vitamix e310 has a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase. If you are conscious of the blender warranty, then Vitamix 5300 would be an ideal choice.

Or you can go ahead with Vitamix e310 and expand the warranty level. For this, you need to pay an extra $$. If you want, you can expand the Vitamix 5300 warranty as well. However, instead of expanding the warranty, I’d say go and purchase the Vitamix 5300 since it is the best between them.
