This machine is the only machine in Isomac's upper end that doesn't feature an E61 grouphead; instead it offers a solid block grouphead for heat conduction. It is a full heat exchanger machine

Bottom Line: I have to believe this machine is as good if not better than Livia. If you don't NEED an E61, this may be your machine.

Bottom Line: The Rlax is a funny name for an espresso maker that can pump out enough high quality shots to power a small town.
