I had a NUTRIBULLET PRO before this one. It was good but didn't have the hot soup function or the intelligent variable speed of the RX model.
This new NUTRIBULLET RX is light years ahead of their other models. It emulsifies the food particles SO much finer, that the final mix really is close to a smoothie consistency, not matter what you throw into the mix. The hot soup function works GREAT!!
Unlike the other models, you do not have to twist the container onto the base and touch a button to start it. You simply place it onto the motor section and it "knows" to start and the vari-speed runs automatically. If you want hot soup, you simply press and hold the button for a few seconds after the NUTRIBULLET has automatically started and that's it! Perfect hot soup. Also, there is a large metal gear that interlocks into the base to make the blender spin.....All the parts are MUCH heavier duty than the other models. I also spins at a MUCH highr RPM than the 900 rpm PRO model. The higher speed coupled with the intelligent variable speeds is what makes the food emulsify so well on this RX model.
One thing that should be noted is the soup mode actually takes around SEVEN minutes to cycle. It looks to be faster on TV. But you get piping hot wonderful soup. I previously would make a cold soup mix in my former NUTRIBULLET PRO and then pour it into a bowl and nuke it in the microwave. Honestly, the hot soup from the RX is SOOOOO much better. It is a different type of heat and is uniformly hot.....and, call me crazy, but I swear it stays hotter much longer that soup heated in a microwave. I'm not sure why but it does.
Another point is that the RX motor is larger, so there are suction cups on the bottom that secure it to your counter. It's larger motor also has a cooling fan that vents it FROM THE BOTTOM of the motor....so you need to be sure NOT to place it on a kitchen towel or even a paper towel because that would get sucked onto the fan vent and block the cooling of the motor. Just keep it on a clean counter and you are fine.
If you have the extra bucks to spring for this top-of-the-line Nutribuller RX, it really IS worth the difference. A GREAT machine and a Home Run for the NUTRIBULLET folks!
