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

Yes it works, but don't expect a full cup of slushy. when you remove the ice cubes, you don't get a lot.

Sorry I haven't tried to make that however, it does crush ice well and you can save lots of $$ making your own summer ice drinks like coolattas! Sometimes I put in coffee, or crystal lite, or lemon, or even tea! I have not had enough time to use it BUT when I do, no regrets!

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

It crushes the ice to the size of marbles or so. About the same as any ice crusher built-in to a fridge. For softer ice, we run it through the machine a second time.

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.

Haven't tried to crush ice, so don't know f for sure. It has done well w/frozen strawberries, so it would likely do fine w/ice.

I am not sure - think I read in manual not to be used to crush ice. Great for making smothies, sauces and chopping veg for soups, etc.

You probably don't want to try this to crush ice. You can use it for soft, cooked potatoes to make mashed potatoes.

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.

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

Yes, the ice is finely crushed without yielding large chunks/pieces. I originally purchased this product to be used at my granddaughter's Frozen themed birthday party. It was such a hit and easy to set-up, use and clean that we put it to use often when entertaining guests as well as simple family time gatherings. This product is definitely one of my top 3 purchases of 2014.

Yes, it will crush ice, though I would advise against it because this will put greater strain on the motor and the plastic strainer inside (thinner plastic & metal mesh). I have done it a couple times and worked well, occasionally having to reverse the motor to clear out bigger chunks. Mine can't handle icetray cubes. If you want ice crushed I suggest getting one with higher rpm rating and larger grinder opening. To put in perspective, I had to tak several breaks making 16 oz of carrot juice because the motor kept overheating. Yet it's great for greens.

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.
