Our Verdict

Vitamix 5300

Vitamix Explorian E520

The Vitamix Explorian E520 and the Vitamix 5300 perform very similarly. The Explorian is a bit louder, and it has a few automatic blending programs in addition to a speed dial. You may also prefer it because it comes with a pair of tumblers and straws that you can use to bring a smoothie to go, but they can't be used for blending.
