Is this blender 3 horsepower as I want to use the entire fruit when I make smoothies?

I am not really sure if it is 3HP, but I use whole frozen fruit to make smoothies and it does a wonderful job.

dont know the horsepower but i load it up all the way to top with solids and it turns them into liquid. most powerful blender i've ever owned, used, or seen.the same stuff that used to cause my old blender to overheat and produce a 'burning metal' smell - never happens with this one. best blender ever.

I honestly don't know the answer to this question. My wife and I like to crunch on the seeds as we drink/eat the smoothies we make. This blender has a very powerful motor and very high RPM's. I assume it would do what you want if you let it run @ the highest RPM's a bit longer. Hope this helps!

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.

This ninja blender is amazing with anything. I make a smoothy every morning from frozen fruits and vegetables and there are no chunks in my smoothies! I use the bullet for small amounts and the traditional blender for larger consumption. The mixer is also amazing, great for cookie dough and cake batter.

I returned mine quickly. It is a glorified blender. The sugar allows it to stay "slushy" longer...

It is great for making smoothie. Just check the voltage for Mexico before you buy it

This blender is designed to handle the toughest of blending jobs including frozen fruit. Its has a powerful 1400-watt motor and 250 MPH blade high speed to blend foods to the perfect consistency and freshest taste.

This engine is strong. I'm using it every day to make fruit smoothies, puddings with chia/flax seeds/bee pollen etc. as well as tomato soup for example, vegan massed potatoes... and it brakes the chunks down into a smooth very nice consistency. I would alway recommend Waring over any other blender. The price is fantastic. I currently live in DE and the cost of this blender is circa 850 Euros!!! Should you decide to purchase it, I hope you enjoy your amazing meals :)

not sure, a high power blender tends to do that best. I will check with my wife and see?

Yes! That's primarily what we use it for - making health drinks with frozen fruit. It's better than a traditional blender in my experience.

Probably not. It is not the intended use. The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

I read somewhere that output watts are different from the actual watts the machine uses so a 600watt blender may sound super powerful but if its OUTPUT is not 600watts, then it's really just a tricky way of wording it to make you think you're buying a very powerful machine.

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.

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

I've never tried to make a smoothie with it. I have a stick blender for that. The food processor has a large S blade. My stick blender has a small S blade. I would rather use a stick blender or a regular blender to make a smoothie.

Yes - mine did. best blender ever made in my opinion and beats the Blendtec and Vitamix hands down because the "wave" action on the Tempest really DOES work and in 12 seconds, my smoothie using huge frozen strawberries is smooth, unlike the others we tried.

Yep. It has two types of blades that plug in. One that juices (no pulp) and one that leaves some pulp in. It's primarily a juicer. If you're only making smoothies, no need to pay the premium for this machine.
