Does it completely squash things like spinash to a liquid level? Ordoes it do the same job a a regular blender?

Soft stuff, yes, it can make it liquidy, like a paste. We used it a lot to make purees out of our dinner foods for our babies. But it doesn't have the power to really liquify like my Vitamix. I still use both, actually, but for different applications. Now that the babies are grown, I use it mainly when I cook and need to process something.

No. it is a chopper. Go buy a personal sized blender (for smaller portions) or use a decent food processor (if you make a lot at a time). The blender made by Tribest is great, but a little pricy. I use it all of the time for smoothies, pureeing tomatoes, and baby food. I would definitely get the larger containers too

Oh gosh no. It's literally a small motor with a plastic mixer that spins. It's good only to mix powder in liquid.

Yes I use mine to crush ice. sometimes you have to shack it because ice gets wet and sticks but it also does that in a blender

I have used the stick blender to make smoothies with frozen fruit on many occasions. I find that it helps to move the blender up and down so that it doesn't jam up, and use plenty of liquid- even if adding it as you go. As long as the blades are able to turn freely, it seems to work fine.

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.

Absolutely. I paid $100 for my regular blender last December and it never worked this well. As far as just blending it's as good as the Vitamax. You can buy a 5 year warranty on it for $20. It turns anything into liquid.

Yes it does.I found this blender to be of poor quality and I returned it. I do not recommend it.

A blender only blends all content , witch creates pulp , but this juicer separates the fiber from the juice. So in one bin, you get the solid content and in the other you get pure smooth juice

No it does not, only the large blender, which I like better. I bought a Magic Bullett with all the attachments, too many things to store and clean. Plus you can only make a small glass at a time. I took it back. My son said make sure you get a Ninja. So I did and glad I bought the black one. You can make as little or as much as you want and only have to clean one item. Hope this helps.

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

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.

I threw mine out because it started leaking and sprung for a Vitamix (reburbished--5 year warranty). This blender blended fine while it worked but it does not puree hard vegetables like you describe. Vitamix is the the one you want to smoothies, using whole apples, etc. Whiz kid!

Absolutely! In a much better way. That is actually the reason why I purchased the blender and I'm extremely satisfied with its performance. Speaking of, I have a batch in the fridge. Throw in nuts it's awesome.

I'm not sure I know what a "classic" blender is?? but if it is the same Blender that they have made for years, YES and I love it. It grinds up everything. makes great smoothies.

Yes, but I don't recommend this blender anymore. It just doesn't grind up things as it did when it was newer. In fact, it cuts off if the mixture is too thick. I've gotten a year out of it before it started cutting off.

i make a smoothie every morning which includes carrots, lemons, beets, kale, ginger, all the "usual suspects"...and it blends them into a perfectly smooth drink! i do cut things up into manageable sizes before putting them into the cannister but this thing is a beast :) my only issue with the blender is the ill-fitting lid and spillage when pouring, but it's nothing egregious.
