Does the Magic Bullet chop up ice?

Yes, I really liked mine when I got it, but it started cracking at about six months.

not sure but I know this: I won't buy from this company again as they have poor customer service in that there are no replacement parts; you are expected to purchase a whole new unit if anything breaks or malfunctions!

yep- not too badly either. I don't like setting the icemaker on my fridge door to crushed ice from cubes because the ice gets all jammed up in there. I use regular cubes in the bullet and it works fine. btw- I got an off brand bullet one time and it leaked all over the place. Magic Bullets won't last forever- they break too...but that is because you will use it so much. I often find the Magic Bullet cups at thrift stores too so you can get additional parts that way. I even got a new blade piece at Value Village last week! This is the first "As Seen on TV" product I would actually recommend.

Haven't used it exclusively on ice. chops up frozen strawberries, raspberries, etc. easily.

It definitely doesn't shave the ice. They are more like ice chips. But, the machine works really well. We bought it as a birthday present for my daughter and it has been worth every penny. We use it often because it is so quick and easy to use.

I don't think it did. I believe i used the one from the old ice maker and it worked fine. Hard to remember though.

I use full ice cubes when blending smoothies with the Ninja, and I use the system at least 5 times a day (we are bodybuilders and make shakes frequently). It literally demolishes the ice cubes in seconds. I can't give Ninja a higher recommendation---love it.

Are you kidding? Like nothing. It wil dull the blade though if it's still happens to be frozen solid.

It shoots the ice out as it shaves it. The inside compartment where you put the uncrushed ice is metal

reading about it I dont know that there is much difference. magic bullet can make anything a smoothie texture. we mix up lots of frozen fruits for smoothies. so why not fruits. bullet can mix in the actual cup and you just drink from it. less clean up

It appears to only come in one size motor I cannot find another motor size or model different. The design is similar to the Island Oasis machines that professional bars use. It shaves the ice into the blender and then the blender blades blend and cut the ice to make that super smooth drink like you get when you go out.

I don't think the blades and revolutions for blending are high enough to consider my Magic Bullet model a 'juicer.' Having said that, I don't personally use my Magic Bullet as a juicer but I think Magic Bullet does make a juicing model.

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 :/

I believe it is the Watts of power. The Magic Bullet only has 250 watts of power. The Nutribullet has 600 watts...more mixing power.

I have magic bullet model #MB1001. It's one of the first models. The ice shaver does fit, the hub on the bottom is slightly different but it works just fine. The new Magic Bullets come with the ice shaver blade, you can go look at one in costco or bed bath and beyond and compare it to your model. but remember they look different but fit and work fine. Hope that helps

Yes, the motor is powerful enough. I have not had any problems adding small amounts of ice to my juice drinks.

The machine I have only makes snow ice that is very fine. It doesn't make chunky crushed ice. If it does do it I don't know how to make it do it.

I don't know - haven't used it on ice - but it's working great for all my usual tasks like soups.

Yes just regular ice cubes work great! The opening is too small for ice blocks actually. The machine works great for the low price!

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.
