Which containers fit the Vitamix Explorian E320?

The Vitamix Explorian E320 uses the Classic mount system. The 2.0 L Low-Profile Classic container is included. Additional compatible containers: the 2.0 L Classic container (tall), the 1.4 L Classic container, and the Aer Disc container Classic. Interlock containers from the Ascent series are not compatible with the Explorian E320.

What sets the Vitamix Explorian E320 apart from the Ascent series?

Both blender lines have a high-performance motor. The difference lies in controls, container system, and warranty: the E320 has a variable speed dial, toggle switch, and five preset programs, but no SELF-DETECT; it uses Classic containers. The Ascent series uses Interlock containers with SELF-DETECT and lid detection. The E320 carries a 7-year manufacturer warranty for household use; the Ascent A2500i and A3500i carry a 10-year warranty.

What is the minimum blending quantity for the Vitamix Explorian E320?

In the included 2.0 L Low-Profile Classic container, the minimum quantity for the Vitamix Explorian E320 is approximately 500 ml for liquid preparations and approximately 800 ml for thick mixtures such as smoothies with frozen fruit.

How hot can ingredients be in the Vitamix Explorian E320?

The Classic containers are made from Tritan and are heat-resistant up to 99 °C. The user manual rules out higher temperatures. The Vitamix Explorian E320 does not have an automatic Hot Soups program, but it can heat soups through the friction heat of the blades. With hot ingredients, you start on speed 1, as the user manual instructs, and slowly increase to 10.

Can I grind grains or coffee with the Vitamix Explorian E320?

Grinding is only partially practical in the included 2.0 L Low-Profile Classic container — it is fitted with wet blades and is not optimized for dry grinding. For regular grinding of grains, coffee, or spices, a dedicated dry-grinding container or the Aer Disc container Classic is recommended.

How do I clean the Vitamix Explorian E320?

Rinse the container with lukewarm water immediately after blending. For fatty ingredients (avocado, nuts, oil): fill the container halfway with lukewarm water, add 1–2 drops of dish soap, run the dial at the highest setting for about 60 seconds, then rinse. The Classic containers are dishwasher-safe; Vitamix recommends hand-washing to protect the Tritan material and blades. Wipe the motor base and rubber mat on top with a damp cloth.

Is the container of the Vitamix Explorian E320 dishwasher-safe?

Yes, the 2.0 L Low-Profile Classic container of the Vitamix Explorian E320 is dishwasher-safe. However, Vitamix recommends hand-washing to protect the Tritan material and the blade assembly from long-term wear. The lid and lid plug are also hand-wash only.

The Vitamix E320 is the smoothie specialist in the Explorian series — for anyone who blends green smoothies every day and wants to determine the consistency themselves.

The 2.0 L low-profile container with a wide base and long blade wings delivers the creamiest green smoothie consistency in the Explorian range. The controls are deliberately pared back: motor, dial, Pulse feature — no program settings, no display. You control speed and run time yourself, from speed 1 to 10. A 7-year manufacturer's warranty for household use applies.

Your benefits

Creamy green smoothies: a wide base and long blade wings chop leafy greens evenly — creamy, with no stringy bits, even with larger servings.
2.0 L low-profile Classic container: 2–4 servings in a single go.
10 speeds and Pulse: full control over consistency and run time, with no program deciding for you.
7-year manufacturer's warranty for household use: covers the motor base and all parts included in the box.
Housing in Black: understated and matches any kitchen.

How to use it

No display lighting up at you, no program deciding for you — with the E320, everything is in your hands. You switch the blender on with the toggle switch on the right and control the speed on the dial in the centre, variable from 1 to 10. The Pulse switch on the left gives you short bursts for as long as you hold it. Direct, honest, manual — this is how you blend when you know what you're doing.

Vitamix 2.0 L low-profile Classic container

The wide 2.0 L low-profile container is designed for 2–4 servings and suits family smoothies or batch prep. The vortex works reliably from 500 ml of liquid; for ice cream and nice cream, plan for 800 ml. The long blade wings and wide base create a powerful vortex that pulls ingredients from the edge of the container back to the centre of the blades and chops leafy greens evenly. Classic containers work without automatic detection: you choose the program or run time manually.

Who it's for

The E320 is for you if you consistently blend green smoothies for several people and care about a creamy consistency. The wide 2.0 L container chops leafy greens more thoroughly than the narrow 1.4 L container. If you prefer a speed dial and Pulse feature over a touchscreen, you're in the right place.

Not sure whether the E320 is the right one?

The E320 is the 2.0-litre Explorian without program settings. With programs at the same size, it's the E520: E320 vs E520. For something smaller, there's the E310, and the three-step decision path guides you there from scratch.

A 7-year manufacturer's warranty for household use covers the motor base and all parts included in the box; your statutory rights remain unaffected (warranty terms).
