If your motor base needs cleaning, use a cloth to wipe it off but remember to first unplug your Bullet. If it needs a more thorough cleaning, use warm soapy water and a toothbrush to scrub inside. Wipe it clean and allow it to air dry before using again. The Ninja 1000 is a bullet blender with a base and bullet cups, similar to the RX, but the Ninja doesn't have a pitcher The Vitamix 5300 has a 10-speed dial and a pulse button, the RX does not have manual functions, but runs on an auto-cycle Lastly, the RX comes with a little tool to tighten or loosen the blades. Sure, this isn't riveting information, but it does seem important considering the fact that hot soup is going to be coming out of the machine. For this reason, the tightening tool is handy to ensure the blade assembly is tightly screwed onto the Souperblast pitcher to prevent leakage. Like other more expensive blenders, you tend to feel the difference in the build quality, and you'll get BPA-free plastic cups. The more you pay, the more you'll get in terms of additional accessories, power and capacity.

First of all, the Nutribullet RX has a heating function for soups and sauces.

The 7-minute cycle will begin, blending and heating the soup, before automatically turning off. The Blendtec is a traditional blender with a base and a pitcher which loads from the top, and pours with a spout into a drinking vessel. It does not have bullet-style cups.

The milling blade has just two, which are flatter in design.

Competing brands such as Breville, Ninja, Philips and Sage sell mini blenders in the style of the original Nutribullet, as well as larger blenders with vacuum blending, which is claimed to keep ingredients fresher and make smoothies smoother. Others focus on quiet blending, or include attachments for other jobs, making them more like a mini food processor. Remove the blade, screw on the lip ring to cover the grooves on the cup and sip that smoothie! It’s that simple. Taking your smoothie on the go? Screw on a flip top to-go lid and head out the door.
