Does it make crushed ice also?

Yes. It crushes ice very well. The ice compartment is small and does not keep up with a family of 5.

There are ice crushing machines and then there are shave ice machines. Two totally different types of machines. A shave ice machine creates super fine shaved ice from a block of ice. Ice crushers like this one take cube form ice (not a block of ice) and output depends significantly on the type of ice you use with the machine. Not all ice is the same. Some ice is very crumbly and aerated. Other is is high in mineral content and very hard. What makes this machine stand out from other ice crushing machines is the UL certification and significant warranty provided by Paragon.

I am sure the vitamix can crush anything! It has a very sharp and powerful blade.any vitamix should work. Ours crush ice evenly! I use it to make baby food too!

This crusher is a professional model and anything you can get down the chute will be crushed. If the cubes are too big they will hang up at the feed screw and not make it through. We have used one of these for over a year and if you feed it correctly it will crush ice as advertised.

Yes! Small freezer to make ice. Freezer does have to be defrosted too! Sorry answer so late in being sent.

No, it will make small, med, large cubes, but it doesnt make little pebble ice or ice chips.

Not that I am aware of. It should make ice until you manually cut it off by pushing the arm all the way up until it locks in place.

Yes, it does produces fine, smooth pieces of ice. I love this machine. Money well spent

It has a water repository at the front/bottom and once you use the already made ice, it brings up more water to create additional water. I love this machine, and my kids love it even more. They find it amusing to watch water go up and become ice. Hope this helps. Steve

The ice is slightly larger than Sonic ice. Probably the closest you will find in a home ice crusher. You can run the ice through a second time to crush it a little more if desired.

Yes, no problem, especially if the ice is partially crushed by the refrigerator ice maker.

You can crush the ice, but it will not be the same consistency as snow cone ice. We do not recommend using your BCCG08-RM1-000 to make snow cones.

It's like what comes out of refrigerator door ice crushers. It's not fine like a snow cone...it's perfect for mixed drinks.

I dont think so. We used bagged. I think a shaved ice machine uses blocked ice.

It does make super fine ice. It's really nice. My only complaint is the water drainage is a little lacking but if you prop up the internal tray just a bit it drains well. Hope this helps!

No, the 'blade' is plastic and isn't sharp. It mixes liquids well, but won't crush ice.

Not to my knowledge. You can only add ice from the top when the bowl is empty.
