Does it blend ice perfectly?

I have used it for shakes and I do not mind little pieces of ice on my shake. It does blend the ice. Perfectly is a strong statement. But Im very happy the immersion blender

Yes I use mine to crush ice. sometimes you have to shack it because ice gets wet and sticks but it also does that in a blender

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

It blends ice well. HOWEVER, the longer I own this blender the more disapponted I am. If you use the high speed the carafe WILL jump off the base. You have to hold it down. And I have to plug my ears it's so loud. Using the low speed is quieter but it certainly doesn't blend completely unless you are blending only liquids! There will be lumps, even from old bananas. The smoothie button is very effective - spinning one way and then the other to make sure all ingredients mixed well, to include the ice.

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.

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.

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

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved. I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

It does make super fine ice. It's really nice. My only complaint is the water drainage is a little lacking but if you prop up the internal tray just a bit it drains well. Hope this helps!

Mine crushes ice very well, but the first time I tried to make a smoothie with just powder and ice it didn't do so well. It took a long time to get it smooth and then there were still some tiny chips of ice in the drink. It works great if you have a bit of liquid or fruit in with the ice (like half a cup of something).

Yes, it does produces fine, smooth pieces of ice. I love this machine. Money well spent

I haven't used it to blend frozen...only fresh strawberries...bananas...peaches and ice. Ran it for 3 days straight and made approx 250 smoothies each day. It still works great. I would recommend you let your fruit soften a little if possiblehope this helps

i was unable to successfully blend ice with this blender. this thing is more for soups than smoothies. i have no idea how other people have found success with ice. they might be using pre crushed ice from a fridge dispenser.

No because it liquifies, it doesn't blend. Get an old fashioned milk shake maker! And some Carnation malted mix powder (plain, not chocolate) while you're at it and I'll come visit you!
