is it good for frozen fruit and ice?

I use this blender everyday to make a smoothie with big frozen strawberries and ice. So yes this will work quite well.

It works with ice but you can't run it for more than 90 sec mine the motor burned up

Yes, when I use it to make smoothies I only use frozen fruit and my kids use it to make slushies using crushed ice. I've never used whole ice cubes but I don't think it'd be a problem. Hope this helps!

I make a smoothie everyday and I first put in 4 ice cubes, followed by a handful of frozen strawberries - I cover those 2 layers with a liquid, then add a kiwi, fresh pineapple and top it off with a bit of yogurt and it comes out fantastic (start on low, then put in high for 20 seconds or so) - so yes, it works with ice and frozen fruit - I love this blender!

Absolutely!! That's what I bought it for. Frozen strawberries, cherries, fresh bananas and milk makes a great drink.

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

I use them with frozen fruit. I keep the containers in the door sections of the freezer though. If you make more containers than the door would hold it might not be a bad idea to keep the containers in other containers until they are frozen solid because the reditainers aren't super sturdy. Hope that helps!

Yes it works very well with frozen fruit I make at least 3-4 frozen fruit smoothies a week.. Love this machine!

Yes, it is great for making a ice cream-like mixture with bananas or other fruit. It makes the fruit very creamy. I can't remember which nozzle to use but it is the one with few slots in it (that is, you dont need to strain when you are making "ice cream").

Yes. It works well on nuts, bacon, and other crunchy foods. I would not recommend it for ice.

I have not used frozen fruit yet. I would guess that completely thawed and drained fruit would work ok. Good luck!

No, it is designed for chunks of frozen fruit. It chops and purees the frozen fruit into a sort of sorbet. It does it well, mind you, but no, you'd have to buy an ice cream freezer to make ice cream.

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved. I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

It would work for margaritas too I think. We plan on using it for that purpose too eventually. It is a very fine texture like snow. It would make frozen margaritas very smooth, not with bits of small ice. Doesn't seem to be small enough to melt quickly though. I would go for it :-)

I have never made ice in it. The compartment for frozen items is pretty small, so if it's a small tv dinner it would work. However, I would plan on using it that day. The refrigator it's self is perfect for what I use it for, at work; cold drinks, yogurts, pudding cups, ect... It keeps things very cold. As far as, the frozen stuff....I haven't had a need to use it in that way.

ABSOLUTELY !!!! I've done both frozen and fresh and they work great. I've used this infuser now for over a month and we LOVE IT !!!! With the size of the infuser the fruit lasts for a good week. One little tip: Be sure to shake it each time before you pour to get the maximum flavor. You're gonna love it !!!!

it will process fresh fruits & veggies, but don't try frozen fruits. it will destroy the cutter assembly! try putting as much liquid in first. good luck. after I had the Kitchen aid, I got a Waring Pro-same trouble. I finally got a NINJA and is wonderful

Yes indeed, it's fine with frozen fruits. The mincing nozzle gives a thicker texture, like ice cream. The juicer nozzle makes snow, which is neat. It's not like crushed or shaved ice, it's actually the texture of snow. Make your own snow-cones or sorbet.
