does the miallegro chop ice

I wouldn't recommend it as the blade isn't heavy enough. Nowhere in their advertisements or instruction book does it have a recommendation to chop ice. You will only shorten the life of the machine if you use it for other than it was designed for.

I haven't tried chopping ice but I would try it with the food processor part.

Not recommended to chop ice with any blades in set. There may be a blade available from the manufacturer.

It shoots the ice out as it shaves it. The inside compartment where you put the uncrushed ice is metal

Yes.... It is a very durable unit. Not sure how much you are going to use it commercially. I fell in love with this unit, when I noticed a business that I frequent often bought one and not sell shaved ice. They get a lot of business for it, so I feel you should have the same similar success with it also. Hope that helped. I really love my machine.

Yes. The texture of the ice can vary depending on how long you blend the shaved ice. If you like slushie ice, this machine will deliver.

Yes, it makes ice and stores it . It is on demand. When ice is removed, more ice is made quickly our functions flawlessly.

Yes it works great with ice. I usually have ice or frozen fruit in it after 6 months I still have not seen the blades get dull. For best results do not fill to the top it needs some room to move around

I've put ice in mine to cool down a salsa with fresh esteemed tomato's so I am assuming yes...

I have not tried to crush ice, I am not sure it would work for that as the instructions say only to use in 30 second bursts. I have used it for chopping veggies very fine and it works great for that.

Yes it picks up 2 cubes if you are adept.Tongs are small. I prefer using my scope-easily picks up all the ice I want.

Yes, as others have noted, the half-moon shaped ice will work just fine. My experience has been quite good. We bought ours at the beginning of this past summer and used it frequently. It works fine and cleans up easily. Well worth the price.

I've not used it for chopping ice, but it did a terrific job of chopping frozen fruit.

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

Don't know-it was purchased as a gift and I only heard it was great for malts and shakes. I would suspect blades are too light for crushing ice-I wouldn't use it for that job.

no, but the one blade is very sharp and does a very good job of chopping, coarse or fine, or almost a paste if you want.I did white sugar and strips of lemon peel zest the other day and it did great.

There is another attachment which is used for ice. You can find it online. This is a large "pitcher" much like the chopper included here. It comes with a metal sleeve and a different blade for chopping ice. It works just fine. The power is there.

It only takes seconds for the machine to shave the ice. The ice will start to melt immediately, if you are outside, make those sno cones quickly! Its a great, powerful machine.
