It works great with chopped ice. I would definitely use it for Margaritas... But dont blend too long, it chops really fast.

Hi, after respinding that i didnt know about frozen drinks, i felt very lame and decided to make a pitcher of nangoritas-lovely! It slushed the ice perfectly �

Works on frozen fruit in smoothies, but I wouldn't recommend it for crushing ice cubes. That's a job best left to a conventional blender. These blades really weren't meant for ice cubes nor would they go through the blade brackets.

I found it to be ok...I was not happy with how it made green smoothies or almond milk so I upgraded to a vitamix. This is a good blender for the price but if you are doing recipes like almond milk and any other raw recipes you may want to consider a more powerful blender.

Of course! It's a very powerful blender. I've blended many batches using frozen ice cream in the base.

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.

I have this and it works well for grinding/shredding ice and making frozen drinks.

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

No problems for me, I used it several times to make smoothies and it is working very well.Michael

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.

I don't think it's easier to clean than a regular blender. Wouldn't you just want a stick blender, or do you need to crush ice? This machine is pretty good for making smoothies.

I've only used it to make frozen drinks so far. It's at my camp. I love it works really well.

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.

I have yet to make Margaritas with it but this unit makes GREAT ice slush so I am assuming it will make a great Margaritas too...great for the price

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

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 would use it for alcoholic drinks like margaritas,...but haven't tried it for that yet. I don't like the ice to be too chunky in those drinks anyway. I think I wouldn't let it sit out in a pitcher because it might melt pretty quickly since it's shaved ice,...the drink would get too watered down unless you drink it quickly.

Yes it makes smoothies great, my only input though is based on non frozen fruits. I buy all my fruit fresh, so haven't used frozen. For fresh fruit though it works great. I normally use: Banana, Blueberrys, Almonds, Walnuts, Yoghurt and Soy Milk.
