Our Verdict
Vitamix Explorian E310
Vitamix Propel 510
For most purposes, the Vitamix Propel 510 is better than the Vitamix Explorian E310. The Propel is smaller and quieter, has a few automatic blending programs, and has a longer power cord. It processes big batches of fibrous ingredients faster and has a better ice-crushing performance.

Vitamix Explorian E310 vs Vitamix Propel 510: Main Discussion

Why would the 510 handle fibrous texture worse than the 310? Same motor, same container. That makes no sense.
These are the same blenders, one just has presets. They should have exactly matching numbers, which means the best explanation is inconsistent testing.
