I had the Cuisinart CSB-77 and loved it until frozen cherries stripped out the plastic part everyone talked about. Can the CSB-79 handle frozen fruit?

I have used the stick blender to make smoothies with frozen fruit on many occasions. I find that it helps to move the blender up and down so that it doesn't jam up, and use plenty of liquid- even if adding it as you go. As long as the blades are able to turn freely, it seems to work fine.

It's Ok crushing ice if the pieces are small enough; however, it keeps locking up on me when I try to make smoothies with frozen fruit pieces, even when I cut them up quite small. Once it locks up you can't do anything else with it until quite a bit of time has passed. I have become very frustrated with this appliance even though I orginally gave it rave reviews!

I cant answer about making "fruit slushies" but I will say that I have made a ton of Broccoli Smoothies (using frozen strawberries)... From my research I understand that vitamax blenders eat ice very well on a daily basis... They are tough (and I don't hesitate to say "industrial grade") blenders...

yes I use it for a frozen fruit all of the time and I've never had an issue it also works with ice I hope that helps

Yes it works find. I also suggest getting the Replacement 77666 Blender Blade Cutter. These blades do a much better job then the regular blades that come with this blender. I use my BL2500s for smoothies and making raw milk. With these new blades frozen fruit is a snap on pulse for about three counts and then you can just blend away. Hope this helps sorry it took soo long to respond.

I bought this for my sister and only had the chance to use it once at her house. I blended frozen strawberries and it had a little trouble. I think as long as the carrots weren't frozen it could probably do it.

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.

The blade should not turn until the freeze cycle is complete. (Then it may start turning with the canister and you should quickly transfer the thick frozen ice cream to containers). If the blade starts turning with the canister before it gets thick/freeze process, then something is not right with the machine. You should contact Cuisinart or maybe exchange the unit.

Yes, the BSB400XL Control Grip™ will handle chopping and blending frozen fruit for smoothies.

You can use any type of frozen fruit. I've used berries and pineapple, and they worked just fine.

I didn't have much luck with mine - it made more of a cucumber slush than slices. I ended up returning it and getting a food processor, which handles that and everything else much nicer.

Haven't used it exclusively on ice. chops up frozen strawberries, raspberries, etc. easily.

It works on frozen fruit, so I suspect it will do okay with ice cubes -- if you take certain precautions. The motor is not as strong as a regular blender. You might have to "bounce" the hand blender a bit and make sure to have enough liquid in your container to help move things around. Otherwise the blade simply gets blocked and the blender gets hot.

I've never tried to great anything frozen, however it will great hard things such as nutmegs. I would imagine a frozen lemon would be no problem.

Yes, does an amazing job! I've used on frozen strawberries, peaches, etc. Just need to move blender in and up-and-down movement so you start blending top layer of fruit ... don't push down hard into all the frozen fruit at the bottom initially.
