Our Verdict

Vitamix Explorian E310

Blendtec Classic 575

For most purposes, the Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Blendtec Classic 575. The Vitamix has a significantly better build quality. It's also better at processing small batches of fibrous ingredients and much better for making thick mixtures like nut butter. On the other hand, the Blendtec has a bigger capacity and does a slightly better job of crushing ice.
