Yes, it is suitable for green veggie smoothies. Just cut the hard stuff up (sort of) first. It does just fine.

not sure...I don't know what makes a vegetable smoothy difficult. I would bet it does though.. it manages to chop ice very well when you put it in a liquid such as my yogurt fruit smoothy. Same as adding the strawberries last.. perfectly blended in the drink... I hope this helps

I use mine for green vegetable smoothies. I do cut up hard veggie and fruits. Start with the hard stuff, then the greens.

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.

I'm not sure since I've never made one.....the issue that I had was with too much ice and frozen product. When we added some additional liquid it worked well.

It blends greens very well. I got this blender to make good green smoothies, and it does the job perfectly! It will devour spinach, kale, frozen fruits, and regular fruits. it always has a smooth consistency, so you are sure to drink your smoothie- not eat it. I personally love it for my green smoothies. As far as leafy greens go, you will never have to eat your smoothie. it even has a pre-set smoothie function. I'll pour in coconut milk, add spinach, a banana, some frozen pineapple, and ground chia seeds then hit the smoothie button. it does a wonderful job!

Hi Diane, I wouldn't say it has the capabilities of a juicer because they are two totally different kind of machines designed to do different functions. That said I love my blender. It's very powerful and very quite compared to others. I can blend green drinks with very little chunks left over if any at all. It kind of depends how long you blend for. Usually a minute or two is sufficient for my needs. Hope this helps.

Yes - we have used the blender for carrots, turnips, and making tomato paste from our own vegetables. The process takes a while at several speeds. My wife also has a dedicated food processor that she prefers for "soup work".

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.

Honestly, I would say avoid this blender for smoothies. Mine burned up on Kale. Take the plunge and buy a Ninja. If I had done so, I would've paid only 100$ instead of 150$ (50 for this blender and 100 for the Ninja.).

I make green smoothies with spinach, kale, and / or chard (including stems) in this blender 5-6 times / week, and it produces very smooth results.

Probably not. It is not the intended use.The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

Most definitely! I have juiced about everything in this juicer. It does a particularly great job on greens compared to centrifugal juicers, but it will pulverize the juice out of just about everything.

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.

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

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

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.

This is a commercial model and should be fine but I have never made hummus in it. Usually would use the 1200. Blender or champion juicer with blank
