Would this work well with smoothies?

Yes. I use mine for smoothies a lot...even for milk shake consistency. The straw is wide enough and, if needed, you can remove the straw and shake up the smoothie to redistribute the ingredients (in the event that you didn't drink it right away).

It works well in the sense that you can remove the straw and shake up the smoothie if the ingredients separate. I'm drinking one right now!

You may need to use a straw with a wider opening for smoothies because the straw that comes with the tumbler is rather narrow. The opening will accommodate a thicker straw, but you'd have to buy it separately.

It would depend entirely on how thick the smoothie is. If you are talking about something as thick as a milk shake, it would probably not work (the straw is too narrow).

Never tried it, but that thing is so powerful that I don't think it would be a problem, but you still ave the pulb, so it would be a smoothie not a juice, I LOVE THIS BLENDER, so powerful, super easy to clean, worth every dollar

You should be able to make a smoothie. But do keep in mind the "liquid" limit so it won't run out under your blade. That is with any food processor. If you have a regular blender that would probably work better for you but this would if it is all you have.

I use it for smoothies all the time and works great. We don't have any glass/jar that it fits in. We use a large measuring cup.

Yes and it works great! My smoothies blend up so much faster and smoother. Use it daily and have had no problems.

Yes but in my opinion, it didnt taste very good. I use mine in smoothies(with greek yogurt) and its excellent.

It seems fine for pouring. I make smoothie every morning and pour into fairly small-mouthed cup with no problem. The smoothie also varies in thickness, which does not seem to matter.

Don't know if it will work well on smoothies I got mine to make milk shakes and it doesn't work for that I did get A ninja and it works great and I think it would work great for smoothies too.

Yes, I recently bought one to replace my old one and it works fine. I use mine at least once a day for smoothies.

We haven't tried making smoothies with our VRT400. It is primarily a juice extractor and it does a great job of that. No matter what fruit or vegetable you put into it, it squeezes the juice out and leaves all the fibre and pulp behind. My opinion is that you would want to use a blender to make smoothies, not a juicer.

yes as long as you have a good blender. My blender does not do smoothies very well so it was grainy. I have also added it to cookies and brownies.

I haven't tried that but I would; t think so. Why don; t you get the Oyster Blend and go cup? It's great and comes with the blades so you have extra if you need, I have two. Oster Blender Blend-N-Go Smoothie Kit

No. This is a two part straw where both parts are removable. Though we have only used this cup for milk and water, I don't think it would be great for smoothies. The straw is pretty skinny so I have to believe it would be hard to suck something thick from.

Yes, I love mine. I make fruit smoothies with mine, using fresh or frozen fruit with a little Greek yogurt. I usually let the frozen fruit thaw a bit first. Great little "blender" and I also love the grey ring around the cups that protect your fingers from the cold when drinking the smoothies. Can't go wrong with this unit, especially for the price.

I would advise you to try a different blender. Perhaps I don't "stack" the blender correctly, but even moderately thick smoothies/shakes get hung up and I end up smacking the side in order to get it to mix. I prefer mine relatively thin (think drinkable yogurt consistency) so it works fine for me; I just don't think it'll handle something that thick. If you're able, check out a VitaMix - those suckers would blend a leather boot into drinkable form.

No, I wouldn't use this for smoothies. The straw is narrow. Juice would be fine, but not smoothies.
