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.

No. But a Viamix blender will turn granulated sugar into icing sugar. However you need to addcornstarch to final product to make icing sugar.

Of course! It's a very powerful blender. I've blended many batches using frozen ice cream in the base.

Yes, I would do half a batch and half the ice. When the ice stops, blend it yourself.

yes, but you have to make sure you have enough water for it to blend/puree- once it gets going it will be smooth at the end. Only 700 watts of power but enough for the price.

Yes! I use it everyday to blend green veggies, fruits, everything. It even does a AMAZING job on ice. Turns it into snow like consistency. This little machine has SO much power and provides a pretty smooth consistency to your juices. I used to have a Nutribullet and it sucked - after a couple months, the Nutribullet just seemed to get weaker and everything was chunky :/

This processor can blend fruits and vegetables. I just takes time. It is not made to blend ice for drinks though.

Works on frozen fruit in smoothies, but I wouldn't recommend it for crushing ice cubes. That's a job best left to a conventional blender. These blades really weren't meant for ice cubes nor would they go through the blade brackets.

I have only put frozen berries and crushed ice in it. I don't know if it will crush cubed ice.

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.

I checked the instruction book but it didn't say-So I tried it. If you put a few cubes at a time it does crush ice.

I haven't tried it. I got it primarily to blend Hormel meals for my son. I have chopped onions and ice and it did great with those. Sorry.

I haven't tried to make ice cubes yet but I don't see any reason they wouldn't work. They would be very large so make sure they would fit in your glasses. I've heard using distilled water will produce clear ice cubes.

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

Probably would work! Because ice has air in between the cubes you would need to use less water than ice. Fill the carafe 2/3 of the way towards the ice fill line. With a little experimentation you will find your preference as far as taste. Good luck!

Yes. You can also use re-usable gel filled ice cubes in the trays instead of ice--which does melt.

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.
