Our Verdict
Vitamix Explorian E310
Blendtec Designer 725
The Vitamix Explorian E310 and the Blendtec Designer 725 have different strengths, and you may prefer either, depending on your needs. The Vitamix can hot blend and does a much better job of processing thick mixtures like nut butter. It makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients. On the other hand, the Blendtec's main pitcher has a much bigger 90-ounce capacity, and you may prefer it because it also comes with a personal jar and to-go lid for single-serve smoothies.
