will it blend ice cubes?

Yes. But I usually add crushed ice from my fridge just to go easy on and hopefully extend the life. It does great with that! I usually find slightly tilting at an angle helps, just make sure theres enough liquid to avoid a splash. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it. I saw it in a youtube video, but they looked like they had already been cut up.

It will crush ice and blend ice cream - makes great smoothies. I also bought the slicey attachment and now chop veggies super fast. I have also blended quite a few soups, mashed potatoes, and made salsa. It's my favorite kitchen tool.

No, it will adjust a little to shaved ice depth of cut but not like real crushed ice. You need a hammer and a towel or a polycarbonate pitcher (that won't break from ice chunks) blender for that.

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.

I have never tried it but I would imagine no. As mentioned before it's just a plastic blender piece. I do use it for making drinks cold with ice though as the spinning does melt the ice if it's only a small amount. For on the go smoothies I use a different blender which I do recommend: Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black

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.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

I have an Oster Programmable blender. I purchased the blade that you mentioned and yes it does a wonderful job blending. My husband and I have a fruit shake every morning, I sometimes forget to remove my frozen berries from the freezer the night before (I don't like my shakes Ice cold). No problem with these blades they cut through anything! (Not sure about the model on my blender I shows L00-Y051-T2).

It only mixes the drinks. Try keeping your drinks pre chilled or put ice in after you make the drinks.

No because it liquifies, it doesn't blend. Get an old fashioned milk shake maker! And some Carnation malted mix powder (plain, not chocolate) while you're at it and I'll come visit you!

I don't know for sure, I have only used ice packs. It seems too thin of a bag to use with ice cubes.

Yes. The texture of the ice can vary depending on how long you blend the shaved ice. If you like slushie ice, this machine will deliver.

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!

You can try but it barely blends the margaritas. If you like smooth margaritas don't buy this.

Hey there! I know there are blenders out there that impressively make "snow" from the ice cubes you put in it, but I have never even tried that with this blender. This blender has a 1200 watt motor and has made the creamiest smoothies from frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, and about 8 oz of liquid base, so simply grating ice to the consistency you are hoping for seems a task this blender would rise to. The NativeJuicer website has recipes and blogs that may be more helpful to you in answering this question, and I highly recommend you visit there before you buy!

We've used all different shapes in ours. As long as it isn't bigger than an normal ice cube, it should be fine.

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.
