There are 3 sizes Small Medium and Large. All 3 are same type like the end of a bullet with a hole.

small, medium and large ice "cubes", but they look more like mushroom caps. :) Very slight differences in thickness of the walls of the ice.

The 3 settings are small, medium and large. It does not make different types of ice. I love the dome shaped ice. We let the basket fill up and then freeze it do the ice maker can keep on making!

the first one is tiny the second is medium and the third is just the right size almost the size of a ice cube tray size. love the larger one

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

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!

Specifying it holds 12 cubes makes it confusing. My freezer makes large cubes so it only holds half that, but it doesn't really matter. I keep my ice cubes in a container next to the machine & keep adding them as needed. The box holds a lot of shaved ice. A couple days ago I made shaved ice for 5 people. I had plenty left over & I didn't even fill the box all the way.

To operate, place cubes in top hole, position cup in front, push button on top, bam, shaved ice. It isn't vintage Snoopy bs.

It does not close. You are supposed to press down on the top to press the ice block onto the shaving blades. It does not close and do that job for you. I assume you are using frozen ice blocks you made in the plastic mold that came with it. It does not work with ice cubes.

There is a setting for 1, 2 , or 3, drinks and you can manually adjust more shaved ice or blending if you prefer.

Yes it picks up 2 cubes if you are adept. Tongs are small. I prefer using my scope-easily picks up all the ice I want.

No, it will make small, med, large cubes, but it doesnt make little pebble ice or ice chips.

Hey there! I know there are blenders out there that impressively make "snow" from the ice cubes you put in it, but I have never even tried that with this blender. This blender has a 1200 watt motor and has made the creamiest smoothies from frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, and about 8 oz of liquid base, so simply grating ice to the consistency you are hoping for seems a task this blender would rise to. The NativeJuicer website has recipes and blogs that may be more helpful to you in answering this question, and I highly recommend you visit there before you buy!

It has 5 heat settings and 3 fan speeds. We used it last winter and love it.

The ice is a half moon shape and ours is what I think you are calling white ice, a little white a little clear. I think the color of the ice has a lot more to do with water/air etc. in the ice than the ice maker itself. We have it in an office of about 55 people and it seems to do the trick.

I cannot attest to the outdoors question but it makes solid square ice cubes with little indentations in the back like the ones large commercial ice machs make

This machine can shave a 10lb bag of cubed ice in about a minute and a half, counting loading and unloading the hopper. It makes about 3 gallons of a finer shaven "snowflake" kind of ice that can be packed down into a more condensed crystal "snowcone" type ice to fill approximately a 2 gallon container...i.e..10 lbs of cube/pellet ice appears to make about 2 gallons of snowcone type ice.

Yes, it has 3 settings... cool, warm & hot. Also, has a cool shot button that you can press while using if the temperature gets too hot.

You can make anything you want in this bad boy. You put the liquid in the pitcher and the ice is on the top of the machine, so you can mix up anything you like. Hope that helps!

It's very easy. The top part makes is so they won't all pop out if you gently press the tray. Then you just peel back the top and fish out one ice cube or however many you want. Personally, I dump them all in a plastic bin after they freeze. It's a really great tray. I have 3.
