Will this crush ice if I add a little liquid to ice cubes to make margharitas?

I tried making a smoothie and all it did was make a bunch of noise. I wouldn't even risk it.

I have used cube ice and small blocks of ice and still get the same result. It has a good grinder on it. You just can't over fill it or it won't grind the ice.

Sure, as long as you add the alcohol to the mix after it has already turned to slushee.

Yes, but it only makes a very small amount of slushy, and the cubes can leak easily. I would invest in a Slush Mug instead. I have this and the slushMug and I like the slush mug better. :)

I haven't try that, I am using for clear ice for the scotch only! and its a great looking large cube.

We use ice cubes but you could use a block of ice if you break it up. As long as it fits down the chute the machine will chip it up. I would not use crushed ice because that would make slush.

Have never used yet to make peanut butter, I would say no and a definite no for trying to crush ice.It is a VERY nice, heavy duty hand blender... makes great salsa, mashed potatoes, puréed.

The spout that feeds the ice to be crushed would hold about 12 cubes by itself. So yes, once you crush 12 ice cubes you can add more to be crushed into the box.

The machine I have only makes snow ice that is very fine. It doesn't make chunky crushed ice. If it does do it I don't know how to make it do it.

Yes, very powerful. Crushes ice with ease, have made soups with heavy ingredients. Something really dense would be helped by making smaller chunks. I am very happy with this blender.

Tried it--suggest leaving out ice a few minutes to before blending - then it does not blend into real small pieces very well. BUT Oster has ice crusher blades to buy, on Amazon, I think. OR call Oster Customer Service 1-800-334-0759

It all depends on the ice that we used and if the ice doesnt melts up together.If we use smaller ice chips, it can produce shave ice, but with regular ice cubes, it will be more like ice chips. But never less, it works great for snow cones and margaritas..

No, it will adjust a little to shaved ice depth of cut but not like real crushed ice. You need a hammer and a towel or a polycarbonate pitcher (that won't break from ice chunks) blender for that.

I haven't tried this one specifically for ice cubes, but I do have silicone ice molds that work very well. Seeing as it's made of the same material, I don't think why it wouldn't.

Yes, but do not use for crushing ice cubes, it will break easily. It is made of cheap plastic.

Yes it will crush ice but you have to be careful with it. It will easily burn out the motor as I found out with my first Cuzen. Don't know that I would recommend it for that purpose only on a daily basis.
