What size ice does it make? I'm looking for one that makes small (like Sonic) ice. Maybe slightly bigger.

There are two sizes it makes. The largest one is probably no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in length. Each cube has a opening at one end and is hollow. The cubes are more like hardened slush than regular ice cubes and do not last very long in a room temperature or even chilled liquid. The other end is rounded as are the sides except for the opening side which is flat. The holding basket for cubes made is directly over the water level compartment so the cubes are very watery and start to melt if not removed immediately. The basket in the water holding compartment directly under the door lid on top of the unit is not cooled except by the cubes that are made and put into the basket by the device. Taking the cubes out of the device and putting them in our freezer as they are made is a small task, but once in the freezer each individual cube freezes solid and to each other also due to their watery condition so you have to use a tool or pick to separate them from each other and any others that were already in the ice cube container in the freezer. I did not find any other brand that was very much better except very large devices used mostly by dinning places. This device works, but don't expect regular frozen cubes nor the ease of storing them very long as a normal freezer would store them.

No the large size is about the size of a quarter in diameter. Small size is smaller but not nearly as small as sonic. But, I have to say, we have had this machine for almost 2 years & use it every day. It is amazing &makes; ice quickly & consistently

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, I bought this ice maker and gave it as a gift.

I had to find plastic buckets and round containers to make my ice. The small buckets work best but are hard to find and expensive if you buy new. I tried plastic food containers from WalMart but they cracked apart quickly. One trick is to lay a straw or small popsicle stick on the top of the water and the water freezes to a more solid clear ice. Don't ask me to explain but it works. Not for commercial use.

I guess I'm not sure since I have never made them. The size would be bite siz. It is a harder plastic not rubber typ. The ice cubes pop out fairly easy if you don't fill all the way to the top. Only problem I have had is the ends broke when trying to get cubes out initially.

Have not used it for this purpose, but would suggest trying a small quantity of mini ice cubes, remember, this is a light duty blender.

The Ninja will work great for frozen drinks. I have a regular blender also but it is worthless when I add ice to it. That is why I got the Ninja.

I love the ninja. I had the MagicBullet before and it was a disappointment. The ninja holds more and does a much, much better job on ice cubes. I use it mostly for smoothies but the big bowl (40 oz) is nice, too. I made gazpacho in it last summer and it was perfect. One of these days, I'll get around to making some of the other stuff in the recipe book.

I make homemade ice cream and use the larger size for freezing it. Works great!

It doesn't make ice cubes! It is just a freezer for packaged foods. Like a cooler only it freezes and it does a fantastic job of that! We are very happy with our purchase. The only negative is that it comes with a basket to put food in but there is no bottom to it. So you have to still remove or add piece by piece.

No, it will make small, med, large cubes, but it doesnt make little pebble ice or ice chips.

I ended up returning mine. It worked well on smoothies for a week or two then it wouldn't crush up the ice in the smoothies. I hope this helps.

I re-read my instructions as I was not aware that it would make any other size then med/small. When I googled it on line it states that the machine will only make the one size of cube. Sorry I could not help.

Yes it takes any kind of ice, if it is to large of a piece, which has to be pretty large just break ice into pieces. I use store boughten ice but it will take ice trays and or ice from an ice maker just fine.

The ice is about the size of a playing marble...maybe a little bigger, with a hole through the center. I hope this helps.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..

I've used this product a couple of times and I've used ice each time with no problems. The ice that I've used are the crescent shaped ones tho. Haven't tried with regular block ice but I think it may be strong enough for that.
