Could this take the place of a blender? Does it work well with fruit?

Would never be used instead of a blender. It is a whisk. If you want something to replace a blender buy a Magic Bullet or a Ninja

it can't take place of a blender and won't work well on fruit. However, it will whip the heck out of any liquid, it does an amazing job on powders too (i.e. protein powder mixes, powdered goats milk and other powdered supplements).Key thing to know, never submerge the handle in liquid other than plain clean water. the liquid level should never be higher than the handle at it's lowest point.This is a truly awesome whisk replacement, frothing milk, making which cream etc. couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this product. ~mike

Not a chance it could take the place of a blender or blend fruit. It will barely scramble an egg. I threw mine away it was a waste of money.

No, but if you want to make soft food smoother (bananas, avacado) or take fibers out of food that are soft (strings on cooked beans, skins from cooked peas) it works well. You'd still need a blender or food processor.

Hi I have made smoothies with fruit and the blender pulverized them with no problem. I have not done vegetables, but the motor is strong and I don't think there would be any problem with leaf vegetables or softer vegetables. I would cut up carrots smaller because I would be afraid of bending the blade, but I just can't say enough positive things about this blender. I have had a very positive experience and I love that it comes with all of the attachments. Hope you enjoy it too!

Yes it can. I use it as a smoothie maker with any variety of fruit or vegetable

you should ask the mfg. I always core my fruit, so do not know for sure. would guess yes, but take a bit longer. be sure to use pulse mode to breakup. for all veggies I use a juicer and then put that mix into the blender as ice cubes.

I want to purchase this blender for smoothies. Does it crush the ice and frozen fruit very well?

It was a gift for my granddaughter so she could make smoothies at college. I think if you can put fruit in you probably could put veggies in too but I have never used it myself.

Absolutely. I use mine every day to juice greens. It will be a thicker mixture because it is breaking down whole foods and not extracting the juice. It is much more beneficial and works like a wiz. I add about 1 cup spring water to mine when blending. I love this blender.

No, I wouldn't use this for smoothies. The straw is narrow. Juice would be fine, but not smoothies.

Yes - we have used the blender for carrots, turnips, and making tomato paste from our own vegetables. The process takes a while at several speeds. My wife also has a dedicated food processor that she prefers for "soup work".

I haven't tried too I think it would be a lot of cleanup and much simpler to use maybe a blender. I really don't think this is the best tool for the job, I put a banana in it just spits out the back

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that I made a mistake when I wanted to grate carrots and had the blade at the bottom running also and just about had baby food in seconds. I don't think it's designed to be a blender but I bet it could do the job for you.

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

I believe you can do anything in this blender. It has a lot of speeds on it. I don't see why not

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

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.

I agree with the previous poster, that it will blend to a mush-like consistency, but not a juice. And for others who need it to chop and dice it does this well and we often use it for that purpose instead of using the food processor.
