Does it crush ice cubes?

Yes! I have had mine for about a year and a half - my ice cubes still get crushed into a snowlike consistancy! We make smoothies all the time.

NO!!! It says it does but the first time I tried, the metal cutter in the center broke. Kitchen aid, send me another jug and it got loose and impossible to fix the way it is made. Even mashing bananas would loosen the "cutter" and leak all over. It ended in the bin. I had bought it because it said it has a ice cube setting. The base is really heavy and strong, too bad the top is not of the same quality.

Yes but you cannot fill it to the top with ice cubes only crushes about half way

Very easy. Top flips up & you fill with ice cubes. When you push top down it automatically engages & spits crushed ice out the front. Love mine! Use daily. Crushes far better than my fridge!

yep- not too badly either. I don't like setting the icemaker on my fridge door to crushed ice from cubes because the ice gets all jammed up in there. I use regular cubes in the bullet and it works fine. btw- I got an off brand bullet one time and it leaked all over the place. Magic Bullets won't last forever- they break too...but that is because you will use it so much. I often find the Magic Bullet cups at thrift stores too so you can get additional parts that way. I even got a new blade piece at Value Village last week! This is the first "As Seen on TV" product I would actually recommend.

Yes it picks up 2 cubes if you are adept.Tongs are small. I prefer using my scope-easily picks up all the ice I want.

I own this blender, however only have used it to crush ice and make smoothies. Sorry can't answer your question really, however it looks like perhaps you may do as you say, hold something at a different level or some action such as that.

It does a good job with ice cubes. It should be easier to shave flavored cubes as long as they are well frozen.

Yes, but do not use for crushing ice cubes, it will break easily. It is made of cheap plastic.

Yes it will crush ice but you have to be careful with it. It will easily burn out the motor as I found out with my first Cuzen. Don't know that I would recommend it for that purpose only on a daily basis.

Yes, but it only makes a very small amount of slushy, and the cubes can leak easily. I would invest in a Slush Mug instead. I have this and the slushMug and I like the slush mug better. :)

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.

It does not close. You are supposed to press down on the top to press the ice block onto the shaving blades. It does not close and do that job for you. I assume you are using frozen ice blocks you made in the plastic mold that came with it. It does not work with ice cubes.

This is the normal Oster blade. It can be used to crush ice. However, there is a blade that is specifically designed for crushing ice. I got that one from another Amazon vendor who listed it as a normal blade. I returned it as I wanted a normal blade.

No, it will adjust a little to depth of cut for shaved ice but not like real crushed ice. For that you need either a towel and a hammer or a powerful polycarbonate pitcher blender.

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!

I haven't tried this one specifically for ice cubes, but I do have silicone ice molds that work very well. Seeing as it's made of the same material, I don't think why it wouldn't.

Yes it takes any kind of ice, if it is to large of a piece, which has to be pretty large just break ice into pieces. I use store boughten ice but it will take ice trays and or ice from an ice maker just fine.

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