will this crush ice?

NO WAY! It barely has the strength to mix Metamucil which is what I use it for every day. It's very well constructed but not very powerful!

No, the 'blade' is plastic and isn't sharp. It mixes liquids well, but won't crush ice.

I am not sure. We did pour it over crushed ice and it was good. Why not try? What' s thr worst that could happen?

I'm sorry, I never heard of "sonic ice". It is a great ice crusher. It's electric it is nice. Only problem isI have to put a non breakable place on top to keep it clean.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.

Yes, as long as you have free flowing salt. I find it works best with Ice melt (not salt) as the size is more consistent.

Not that I am aware of. It should make ice until you manually cut it off by pushing the arm all the way up until it locks in place.

As long as you put ice in it and use good water you should be fine. But hard water destroys this thing

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.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..

yes it would be if using ice from an average icemaker or bagged ice - might not be big enough if using actual ice tray ice

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

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 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!

I used the ice from a bag in this. It seemed like the thick, dense, cubes from a tray were too much for it....although it still crushed them. Just made really loud sounds like it was too much for the small motor. Using bagged ice was no problem for this blender and lasted a few years for me with lots of use.

It crushes it up to about the size of regular crushed ice you get in your drinks at restaurants. It's perfect.

No. This is dangerous and will break apart as you use it if you attempt to crush ice.

You probably don't want to try this to crush ice. You can use it for soft, cooked potatoes to make mashed potatoes.
