Can you used crushed ice?

I wouldn't. It doesn't seem sturdy enough, you may damage the blades inside. You should look into blenders!

you should be able to as the basic function of the machine is to make shaved ice and mix what ever is in the pitchers. I have used the ice cap liquid in the machine and it worked great. Hope this helps

Sorry, I've never tried it on ice. I mainly use it to puree soups and sauces.

We use ice from our commercial ice machine - half cube. They are a little smaller than bagged ice.

A Quality heavy duty product, but I cannot say for sure if it will crush ice . I am checking with Mfg for you and will let you know as soon as I hear from them. Michael @ Tablesettingsofdeal.com

No. This is dangerous and will break apart as you use it if you attempt to crush ice.

Yes. But I usually add crushed ice from my fridge just to go easy on and hopefully extend the life. It does great with that! I usually find slightly tilting at an angle helps, just make sure theres enough liquid to avoid a splash. Hope this helps.

I would not try to break ice with it. I suggest a metal shovel for that purpose. If you first sprinkle de-icer this will shovel it all up nicely. It is also useful for small leaves and pine needles.

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.

Tried it--suggest leaving out ice a few minutes to before blending - then it does not blend into real small pieces very well. BUT Oster has ice crusher blades to buy, on Amazon, I think. OR call Oster Customer Service 1-800-334-0759

I purchased it for a single purpose use, to make soap, so I don't know about ice or other solid food use. Maybe another purchaser will have the answer.

Yes I use mine to crush ice. sometimes you have to shack it because ice gets wet and sticks but it also does that in a blender

I really couldn't say because I never used it for that, but I should think if it can crush Ice it should be able to grind grain.

I used the ice from a bag in this. It seemed like the thick, dense, cubes from a tray were too much for it....although it still crushed them. Just made really loud sounds like it was too much for the small motor. Using bagged ice was no problem for this blender and lasted a few years for me with lots of use.

No it can't blend ice this mixer is meant for liquids only protein powders etc

Yes. You can also use re-usable gel filled ice cubes in the trays instead of ice--which does melt.
