Does the immersion stick fit down inside the cup that is included? Can you mix smoothies in this cupu

The answer is YES to both questions. This is by far the best hand blender I have owned. My wife does a lot of onion chopping for her cooking. This blender, with the chopper attachment, does it in seconds, and much quieter than other choppers that she has used in the past. It chops ice cubes in seconds when making shakes whith a shake that is as mooth and lump free as can be. This blender is worth every penny. It does ship from Japan, just an FYI, for some resason, as if not available in the US.

The hole is triangular and about finger-sized (1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch high or so). I would think you could drink a thick smoothie out of it, but not sure. There's a pin-sized hole on the opposite side to allow airflow.

I use mine for smoothies all the time! The shaker ball doesn't get in the way at all, but you could always take it out. Once I make my smoothie in a blender, I just pour it in and head out!

Yes, a smaller unit does that. But I haven't used it yet. If it's anything like the larger blender, it should be good!

It looks like it is about 1/2 centimeter or less than a quarter of an inch. I'm not sure, but it seems like it would be fine for smoothies.

I haven't had this experience. Haven't used it much, and so far only for smoothies, but so far I'm satisfied. If the fit remains poor, I'd try to exchange it.

First place cup upside down and lock in place by turning to the side, after its locked in place press down on the button located on the front of the blender base. This blender will not work if it's not properly locked in place. Happy blending

Yes, all three are marked with all measurements...the 4 cup is great for using an immersion blender in too

I use it for smoothies all the time and works great. We don't have any glass/jar that it fits in. We use a large measuring cup.

Kind of, if the bottom of cup is smaller. If cup too heavy, doesn't balance well. I can fit venti iced cups fr Starbucks in it but when full, the holder slides down.

Unfortunately that is one design flaw in these otherwise awesome mugs. The way the threads are on the lip and lid you won't be able to line them up properly. You can get close to it not being right on the handle, but that is about it. To get around that I use a straw. Besides, I don't know about you, but my smoothies are way to thick to drink without a straw. :)

It would depend on how thick the smoothie is, but in most cases it would be big enough in my opinion. :)

Hi, how are you? No, each blender has its specific cups that only work with that blender.Have a great day,Celina

It is my experience with the bullet systems that all the cups are compatible with each other. Hope this helps.

Why of course, I usually use the ice feature button on the HealthMaster it gives it a jolt so the blades crushes everything nicely! You still want to add half -1 cup of liquid ie almond milk, coconut water, orange juice whatever you like. Enjoy your smoothies!

Yes and it works great! My smoothies blend up so much faster and smoother. Use it daily and have had no problems.

Yes should be able to. The straw is a two piece but straight-through straw, no leak-proof vault like regular sippy cup, so smoothie should be able to go through. (It's leak-proof by closing the lid onto the straw) Just make sure to use a straw brush to clean the straw really well afterwards to avoid mold.
