HowGears – The Nutribullet family comes the Nutribullet RX. Is the Nutribullet RX a rebadge of the previous Nutribullet 900 in a shiny new casing with a couple of added features? Have Nutribullet finally got it right this time and produced a blender-worthy of taking on the big brand names such as Vitamix and Blendtec a lower price?
As the competition heats up between rivaling bullet blender producers – have Nutribullet brought a revolutionary blender to the table?
There is a lot of good to be said about the Nutribullet RX. Firstly, the results are quite impressive and equal to those of the Vitamix S30 and Blendtec series. It does a great job of liquefying anything you put into the container, including ice, frozen berries, and breaking down seeds as small as linseeds.
The powerful 1700 watt motor creates green smoothies and soups with ease. You do need to add water or other liquids to frozen ingredients as the blender has no pulse feature, tamper, or mechanism to get things moving should they become stuck.
The blender comes with two cups that screw directly onto the base allowing you to blend the smoothie, attach the provided lid – consume or take with you. The one-liter pitcher is a great inclusion – useful if you have a small family or plan on creating large quantities.
A large improvement over previous models is the metal drive socket and gears on the blade housing. The metal makes the blender more durable over cheaper plastic that wears down easily with constant use.
The Nutribullet RX Blender is extremely easy to use. You take your cup and fill it will the ingredients to make your masterpiece. You screw on the lid, tightening it with the provided hand tool, and pop it onto the base. The base senses you have placed the cup onto the base and automates your blend for 1 minute.
In wrapping up this review of the NutriBullet RX Blender, I can say the blender performs its job very well but has its obvious design flaws. If you’re not fazed by fiddling around with the gasket ring or removing the blade housing from the cup with the provided tool – this may be the blender for you.
