The differences between the 7500 and the e320 are small but may be important to some.
7500
- 3 color options - red, black and white
- electrical cord 6'
- dimensions: 17.5 x 7.7 x 9.4
- 12.5 #
- 87 dB
E320
- 2 color options - red and black
- electrical cord 4.5'
- dimensions: 11 x 8 x 18
- weight: 10.5 #
- 97 dB
Control-wise... the same.
Performance-wise... the same.
I think the 7500 may have more metal in the casing.
Warranty - both 7 years.
Costco E320 comes with two 20 oz cups. Costco known for easy returns.
Vitamix - one of the finest companies you'll ever deal with when it comes to warranty.
I do recommend a factory reconditioned one from Vitamix direct. I've had two factory reconditioned bought from Vitamix, came with a new container and tamper and the base literally looked unused, and they have been everything people boast about. But, the price on these new ones is way too good to pass up if it is the model you are looking for. Plus you get a longer warranty than the reconditioned. (Mine is long after the factory warranty and runs like it was new.)
The 7500 is more of a professional (restaurant) line where as the e320 is a home (budget) line. Both are similar as far as features, power, capacity and so forth, with the 7500 having a better/longer warrenty over the e320. Overall though, they are both great blenders.
I personally have an older 5200 my mother-in-law gave us, which I love. If I were to upgrade, I would go with the 7500, though I am a very experienced chef who cooks everyday.
You also don't need a costco membership for the 7500...just saying.
Correction, both blenders now carry a 7 year warrenty.
according to the research I have been doing it's almost the same 2.2 hp motor on both models but the e320 is a bit louder, same warranty as well but dealing with Costco is probably easier than dealing with any manufacture's warranty
Not sure if there are other differences between the two models

The accessaries are worth a lot. I haven't used 7500, but I don't think it would make a huge difference for most people. I also don't think noise would be a big problem since most of us wouldn't keep it running for a long time. I go with Costco.

Isn't it a 7-year warranty for both models? The e310 does seem to only have a 5-year warranty instead of 7? I would definitely get the 7500 at this point but the blender cup and adapter does seem like a nice addition, and of course vitamix sells them for +$100 if you want to buy them separately

as someone who uses this about 364/365 days a year and as someone whose owned 4 different blendtec/vitamix blenders.. the ONLY ones i even consider buying now are the soundproof ones.. theyre such a huge step up, and im not a fan of hearing loss. They dont even wake up the house upstairs.

I have one and love it. Does it do a better job blending than my old 5200 (the older version of the 5700)? Not really, even with the A3500's brushed stainless metal case. But it is a 10% more powerful*** and a little bit quieter. You'll quickly learn how to use the Vitamix and then it becomes second nature. Great recipes on Vitamix.
If you don't like it then return within 30 days at Vitamix expense.
