Our Verdict
Vitamix Explorian E310
Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender
For most purposes, the Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender. The Vitamix has better build quality and a much larger capacity, and it does a better job of making nut butter and processing small batches of fibrous ingredients. That said, true to its name, the Hamilton Beach is much quieter when it's running. It's easier to clean by hand and has automatic blending programs.
