Can you do smoothies on this particular model?

No. It's a juicer, not a blender. It's amazing but it's not a multi-purpose machine.

I just got the ninja 700. it has the power to crush the ice very fast but it does NOT make the smoothie smooth. I believe it's the blade design that it does not promote enough circulation inside the blender. Lot of chunky ice in there even a relatively long blend. Absolutely not recommended for smoothies. My cheapy bullet blender make smoother smoothie.

Yes, you can. I am using it in the Philippines where the power is 220V. It is a very good blender.

Honestly, I would say avoid this blender for smoothies. Mine burned up on Kale. Take the plunge and buy a Ninja. If I had done so, I would've paid only 100$ instead of 150$ (50 for this blender and 100 for the Ninja.).

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

No. The blades spin too slowly, it purees, I guess you can approach something like a badly blended smoothie if you run it for a long long time, risking burning the cheap motor. For fruits and smoothies its all about rpm, and this is a chopping device, not a blending device. And don't even think about throwing ice into this, food processors only handle what you can cut with a knife.

Yes! I use the immersion blender attachment for smoothies with frozen fruit. I use a lot of frozen fruit but I often steam for a few min before I use the food processor.

you will get coarse, not ideal for smoothies. I use mine for making a pre smoothie and then put the mixture thru a nutri bullet to blend to a smoothie consistency... This machine would be better suited for making soups

No, it only squeezes juice out of fruits or vegetables. If you want smoothies, get a blender instead.

You probably can. This product is not worth it's price. We had a lot of problems with this model. I recommend you buy something else.

YOu can use the juice from the juicer to add to smoothies which I have done. But mostly I use it as a juicer only

Yes you can and so much more. You cannot squeeze fruit but it will make a smoothie with no problem

No problems for me, I used it several times to make smoothies and it is working very well.Michael

I apologize for taking so long to answer, but yes. I can make smoothies and pesto from the two blender containers that came with mine.

I have only used blenders. I believe my wife tried without a blender and it ended up 'gloopy'

According to the Booklet this isn't able to do "soft fruits". As in banana, avacados, mangos. It probably can, but it probably will clog it up. Smoothies are more blenders.

Not a good idea...when you make the smoothie, after a period of time there will be a separation of the heavy/light ingredients.you can probably remix with a very short mix again
