Will this work without ice?

I suppose if you have something frozen that you put in the pack, it might keep everything else you have in there cold. We used this to travel in Eastern Washington, temps were in the 90's and we used a small amount of ice from the hotel and it didn't melt. Hope this helps.

It's decently insulated. It would keep food drinks cool for a couple hours without ice I'd think. We use cooler packs a lot which are nice because they don't melt

Yes, we freeze water bottles and use them, also it's really effective if you put the iced bottles in prior to use for a bit almost like a pre-cool, works for hours. Great cooler- enjoy

I think so. We "cheat" a little bit. We froze our water bottles about 25% full the night before. The next morning, we filled them with cold water, placed them in the cooler, and placed our snacks around the bottles. We didn't unpack the cooler until the next day and everything was still cold. We really like it.

Probably, but a blender would be a better way to go on for ice. This is more for dry food and sauces.

Not a photo trick at all, yeah you can definitely make the ice clear. Just takes a little practice because it depends on how pure the water is and how fast it cools. Use the best water not tap, then boil it. Play around putting different places in the freezer.

I would defer to the other guy who said no ice. I've never tried, honestly, so I'm not sure.

Hi, your question was mis-directed to LavenderGreen's Virginia Gemmell. We don't have an ice blade.

This unit does not use any batterries at all. Make sure if you want cold air you must put ice in the bottom holder. What I do is freeze water just under the measurement of the opening in the shape of a small block and it last longer than ice cubes. it works great, Verry happy with it.

No it will not be, but you cannot drink anything from it until it un thaws. The best way to use this is freeze the inner component for freezing add water and ice it last for hours.

Unfortunately no, but the matching bento bag is insulated so you wouldn't need an ice pack

Actually, it might not work. The sugar keeps the liquid from freezing solid. Sugar free beverages may not slush properly, in my experience with other cups.

I.think it would work a whole lot better unfrozen. This rack did not work well for me once milk was frozen and was not easy to get out of the rack

yes it will melt pre existing ice off any surface. I use it as a preventative.

sorry have not tried it with ice. However it blends everything else well. simple and compact, love it on the go.

I have been using using it with a frost free freezer converted into a kegerator for the last two years without incident. Many others are successfully doing so. If you have a particular concern, you can try contacting the freezer manufacturer. However, it is not a significant concern to me. Theoretically, a manual defrost might allow slightly more consistent or precise temperature regulation by avoiding defrost cycles, but I have yet to meet anyone for whom that is of any actual significance.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..

I have not made ice tea but I cannot imagine why it would not work. The anise is what makes the milk flow, not the temperature.

Hello. It really depends. If you keep it closed, and not let heat in until you reach your destination, it should work just fine.I would use the hard shell and fill with ice. Good luck. I love mine.

Yes, as long as you have free flowing salt. I find it works best with Ice melt (not salt) as the size is more consistent.
