We are the neighborhood margarita makers. We do margaritas almost every night. Is this a good blender for that?

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 work in a bar. We have waring xtreme commercial blender. We make 20-40 smoothies, milk shakes and margaritas per day. We have had this thing for 4 years. The only thing that broke was the jar. Replaced it and works fine. DO the math 30 uses a day for 4 years. Yea I would say this is a blender worth 300 bucks.

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

Yes, it crushes ice well. It has 3 speed/power settings, and one of them is ice crushing. The only things I make in this blender are frozen drinks, and it does well with a bit of stirring with a short wooden spoon.

Yes, I have this blender for more then a year now, I use it everyday for my morning drink. including beets, carrot, apple or more...I like it so far, pretty powerful. only some problem in the beginning with the switches and I sent it in and they fixed it. still working great so far. (it can blend nuts too).

I own this blender, however only have used it to crush ice and make smoothies. Sorry can't answer your question really, however it looks like perhaps you may do as you say, hold something at a different level or some action such as that.

You can try but it barely blends the margaritas. If you like smooth margaritas don't buy this.

Yes. I've had no trouble with this. I love this blender; it's great for making soups.

Very good. Whether you use hard ice or frozen fruit it chops it up pretty well. My smoothies come out great. That's the main purpose I bought this blender and yes I would buy it all over again :) but it is very loud when you blend. If that doesnt bother you then it's perfect!

I believe this blender would be up to that task easily, yes. It is very well made and feels substantial in the hands, not cheap and plastic-like that many other immersion blenders out there. As was mentioned, it is very powerful, I actually use it set to only the half-way mark on the speed-setting and find that to be plenty of power for use. Highly recommended.

I've only used it for shakes and smoothies and its fabulous. I'm sure it would work for cocktails but I haven't tried it. Good luck!

Mine couldn't even blend ice cream and milk for a shake, much less crush ice. I ended up buying a Faberware10-speed blender with preprogrammed settings and it's awesome! I've never been able to make such smooth smoothies at home before. No ice chips.

is very good blender to make homemade milkshakes, the material is aluminum, but is not as powerful as a business. very good size and the vessel is steel. I recommend

Yes!Worked pretty well for me, although the Blender is on smoke less then a month in use (did not use for heavy duty).
