A high-performance blender doesn’t have to come at a high price. The Explorian E310 allows you to enjoy Vitamix’s precision engineering at an unprecedented cost.

The controls are simple to use, designed for first-time Vitamix users. Whether it’s a smooth puree or a chunky salsa, 10 variable speeds give you full autonomy over your results. There’s also a Pulse function for short bursts of power. With a 1,4-litre container, you have the ability to turn medium batches of ingredients into small family meals. The 2 HP motor will comfortably break down even the toughest whole foods.

When you’ve finished blending, you can clean your container simply by adding a drop of dishwashing liquid and some warm water. It will take no more than 60 seconds and you don’t have to disassemble parts.
