How does it work on ice cubes?

Larry we have not used it to break up ice cubes. It puree's, blends, mixes, chops nuts and spices very well. We are very happy with the Bamix and would recommend it. Sorry I could not give you an answer on the ice cubes. Brian

Many people use the Bamix for making fruit smoothies (that may or may not include ice). I have never heard a single complaint. We primarily use it for making soups and in that the Bamix is unrivaled.

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.

This unit does not use any batterries at all. Make sure if you want cold air you must put ice in the bottom holder. What I do is freeze water just under the measurement of the opening in the shape of a small block and it last longer than ice cubes. it works great, Verry happy with it.

I give the tray a slight twist and it loosens the cubes easily for removal. They ice comes out easily by "grabbing" the sides, but when the sides are not sticking up, you can simply push on one side of the cube and it slides right out of the tray. Very nice.

I would imagine it depends on how much ice, how big the cubes are, etc. It also depends in outside temps, I believe.

Sorry, I've never tried it on ice. I mainly use it to puree soups and sauces.

Yes, however, I have this in my house in Ecuador and the ice cubes are very small, I don't know how this would work on large cubes.

Works fine on snow and ice. I apply it once, at the beginning of a run. I haven't had problems with snow or ice clumping in her paws or anything...but I also don't recall ever having that problem even without the musher's secret.

I make a smoothie everyday and I first put in 4 ice cubes, followed by a handful of frozen strawberries - I cover those 2 layers with a liquid, then add a kiwi, fresh pineapple and top it off with a bit of yogurt and it comes out fantastic (start on low, then put in high for 20 seconds or so) - so yes, it works with ice and frozen fruit - I love this blender!

although it says it does, I can't verify - I haven't tried it. Consumer Reports stated it did a nice job of turning ice into snow, but that's from them, not me. Sorry, I just haven't tried it yet.

I have used all kinds of ice cubes in mind, it looks like it will not hold up but has done a wonderful job so far!!

It does a good job with ice cubes. It should be easier to shave flavored cubes as long as they are well frozen.

I mainly use it for smoothies. I do add ice and it works great, so it should work on any frozen drink. Blades blend fruit and ice very fast. I hold blades under hot water and they clean up fine.

It works in a few minutes just like other ice melt. FYI, some of it was crumbled and I had to use it just like the other ice melt I have.

The top ice chamber shaves the ice and sends it to the bottom. The ice is perfect for snowcones. No chunks. Makes good frozen drinks. Best I've seen for shaving ice, but there may be some more out now as I have had mine a while. You can use ice from your icemaker if you let it set out for 15 minutes, otherwise use bagged ice.

I haven't had good luck mixing it with cold water. It doesn't seem to dissolve properly. I mix half the water (hot)called for with the needed powder, mix until dissolved then add ice cubes. If more cold water is needed to get to necessary amount I add it.

I have found that no matter what purees I've put in this tray to freeze, if I run hot water over them for 30 seconds or sometimes more, or just set them out for a little while, the cubes come out easily. With this tray you don't twist, you just use your finger to push the cubes out. I love it!
