OK with ice cubes IF THEY ARE SMALL. Would not recomend with "normal size ones" though.

I am so sorry but I haven't tried ice cubes. Hopefully another reviewer can help.

Yes indeed it works very well with ice cubes and frozen fruits. I am sure you will enjoy your use of it and find that it truly lives up and may be supersedes its advertisements.

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.

It does not work well. There is basically a blade on the bottom and the top part pushes the ice onto it. When the blade is not "shaving" a smooth surface like the ice pucks make it not work well (makes ice slowly and it's not fluffy). It also has trouble turning a bunch of ice that is in pieces instead of the puck from the included ice trays.On the other hand, each ice tray can make 1 giant snowcone or 2 normal sized snowcones. Usually my little sister (6) will only finish 1/2 an ice puck's amount of shaved ice.

It crushes ice no problem . You can get It small enough for blended drinks and smoothies. Smoothies do get a bit frothy though

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.

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

I've never used it for ice, but have frozen broth. It works well with liquids

It can crush ice. You have to get accustomed to working it through the cubes.

No. I keep the cubes in a plastic bag in the freezer. After I use them in a drink, I wash them off and refreeze them. I live in an apartment and could not move my refrig with ice maker in so this is a great space saving alternative. I use them all the time. I only keep an ice cube tray for ice for smoothies.

Yes. It is large enough for ice cubes. However, it is a glass liner so you would need to use care in putting the ice cubes into it.

To operate, place cubes in top hole, position cup in front, push button on top, bam, shaved ice. It isn't vintage Snoopy bs.

Actually, I usually just put a few ice cubes in the bottom when I have it out of the refrigerator. If I am going to have it out for a long time, I will change them out once in a while.

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

The lid doesn't seal tightly so the cubes would likely clump up into one ice block. I use mine on the counter for coffee.

It all depends on the ice that we used and if the ice doesnt melts up together.If we use smaller ice chips, it can produce shave ice, but with regular ice cubes, it will be more like ice chips. But never less, it works great for snow cones and margaritas..
