Haven't had any issues so far. Ours seems to blend right through it all really easily.

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.

This ninja blender is amazing with anything. I make a smoothy every morning from frozen fruits and vegetables and there are no chunks in my smoothies! I use the bullet for small amounts and the traditional blender for larger consumption. The mixer is also amazing, great for cookie dough and cake batter.

The Ninja will work great for frozen drinks. I have a regular blender also but it is worthless when I add ice to it. That is why I got the Ninja.

Yes, when I use it to make smoothies I only use frozen fruit and my kids use it to make slushies using crushed ice. I've never used whole ice cubes but I don't think it'd be a problem. Hope this helps!

To get the average bowl of frozen fruit (I liken it to a bowl of ice cream) I usually use the equivalent of two frozen bananas, plus half a cup of berries. The bananas work well and masquerade for the mouth feel of ice cream. I've used any number of banana combinations with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and melon. The best thing is to freeze a whole bunch of fruit on a cookie sheet so they stay separate and then bag them up and keep them frozen for when you need them. The directions state to bring the frozen fruit out for 10 minutes before processing and that works well. We are very happy with the machine and have 'guilt free' desserts all summer. Hope that helps.

Sorry cant answer your question since I only use it for crushed ice, go on line and google the product or ask the question in google and see if it can answer your question.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

I would say yes, although I have not tried that but it will do shaved ice, so it makes sense to me that you could do that. It pulverizes frozen fruits for smoothies, so again, I would think that the system is quite efficient.

Larry we have not used it to break up ice cubes. It puree's, blends, mixes, chops nuts and spices very well. We are very happy with the Bamix and would recommend it. Sorry I could not give you an answer on the ice cubes. Brian

I don't think the attachment is strong enough to break up frozen fruit. I have gone through two attachments in a short amount of time trying to do this when I make my smoothie.

I use frozen fruit all the time. It works great. It's not loud but powerful and it's simple to clean

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved. I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

Yes it does. It makes the best green smoothies and fruit smoothies and also crushes all kinds of frozen fruit and ice. Hope this helps.

I've only used it with frozen fruit and pre-crushed ice from the fridge dispenser as another poster indicated, but it works fine with that.

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

It can use that type of ice, I've used ice cubes from my refrigerator and it worked just as good as with the molded ice. Although, since it's several different pieces the top part will move around a lot so make sure you press down and hold it in place and it won't move much. Other than that little detail, "ice cubes" will work.

Yes. It works well on nuts, bacon, and other crunchy foods. I would not recommend it for ice.

Yes! I use the immersion blender attachment for smoothies with frozen fruit. I use a lot of frozen fruit but I often steam for a few min before I use the food processor.
