Our Verdict
Vitamix Explorian E310
Blendtec Total Blender Classic
For most purposes, the Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Blendtec Total Blender Classic. The Explorian is much sturdier and makes a smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients in less time. It's also much easier to use for recipes like nut butter and hummus. The Explorian is quieter but still very loud overall. On the other hand, the Total Blender makes more uniformly crushed ice. It has several automatic blending programs.
