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.
Ok, can someone who knows about Vitamix really help me out here please.
I got the E320 from Costco earlier and did not noticed anything special about it. Yes, it was much quieter than 8 years old Nina blender I had but that does not justify the 3 times price tag for me when we use it like 5-10 mins max a day.
Now we are getting into smoothie and I have been reading a lot about Vitamix and how it makes it super smooth when compared to blenders which leaves small chunks. I am wondering if I should buy the Nina E320 from Costco again and give it a try or not. I really don't want to be the person who keep returning things to costco but at the same time I do want a smooth smoothie. Is this one really different than Costco Ninja Blender/Processor system I got for $100. https://www.costco.com/ninja-food...13502.html
Also is E320 the best deal for the price or should I look into some other model?
Yes it is a lot smoother
No you don't need it if you don't notice any difference
Yep, pretty much all Amazon purchases. If you shop on Amazon regularly and don't have the Amazon CC, you're doing it wrong. Here's a snippet of the 5% back:
You earn 5% Back on Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases with an eligible Prime membership (otherwise you earn 3% Back), including digital downloads, Amazon.com Gift Cards, Amazon Fresh orders, Amazon Prime subscriptions, and items sold by third-party merchants through Amazon.com's marketplace.
Interesting. I guess I just misunderstood it when I got my Prime VISA card years ago. I have earned over 200K in points from that card. Recently used some to get a free MacBook Pro 14. I was just mistakenly under the impression that the rewards varied depending on who was selling the item. Thank you for taking the time to clarify!

I purchased a factored reconditioned one and it never ran quite right. I'm past the warranty (I think it was 3 years) and it's rattling away every time I use it. I regret the purchase.

Never understand why anyone would be proud of making Bezos richer. I just got a belt clip holder for my work phone for $7 on eBay. It sells for $13 on Amazon.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have any connection with the company but you might give a friendly call to Vitamix support and see what they say.

Good deal. Got a red 7500 last July for $290 SD, Works great, with the look feel and mass of a sturdy commercial unit. Loud, I store over-the-ear phone type protectors on top of the jar. The power and rpm were required for what I blend. I don't need or want the automatic versions. Consider the reconditioned on sale to save another $100.
edit: Is the wide low sufficient? I get excellent results even with small quantities as long as I ensure that the blades are covered with liquid. Complaints stem from user error. I often blend for an under 20n oz single serving. I grind coffee in my wide low. To make use of what is left behind after grinding I make a smoothie or a glass of warm milk so no coffee goes to waste.

How does it compare to Philips Avance High Speed Blender with noise reducing dome at BJ's.

After years of struggling with cheaper blenders I got the explorian 310 refurbished for $190 at the end of 2021. I have to say that this is was a smart purchase for me. The thing blends very smoothly, much smoother than the Ninja my parents have, but also it's so easy to clean: I don't have to worry about slicing my hands, and easy cleanup makes me want to use it more. I will make smoothies in it several times a week, with frozen fruit, nuts, seeds, and ice. Add some water and blend for 30 seconds and it is silky smooth. No fuss, just does it's job. Yes, the downside is it's loud.

IT'S 100% worth the $200 price difference. Ninja and those small blenders won't blend leafy vegetables well. It's nasty

That volume difference is huge. I think I would get the 7500 just because it is that much quieter.
Also, a slight nuance:
Costco 60oz
Vitamix 7500 65oz
