How does this handle ice?

I don't know - haven't used it on ice - but it's working great for all my usual tasks like soups.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, I bought this ice maker and gave it as a gift.

It shaves the ice like snow. A small amount is in little chips. The thing I like about this machine is that you can use ice cubes rather than freezing larger portions. I hope this helps.

I use ice cubes out of my icemaker on the fridge and it works great! I have not tried it with a block.

We use ice from our commercial ice machine - half cube. They are a little smaller than bagged ice.

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.

Sorry, I have not tried to do ice. I use mine for making nut butter. It does a verry good job for that and I am pleased with my twister jar.

Not a bag of ice but a freezer pack is OK.(you know, the hard shelled kind that have gel in them.)I freeze bottles of water and they cool it down quicker in the beginning. NEVER EVER let ice melt in it. It will ruin the motor.

Yes it takes any kind of ice, if it is to large of a piece, which has to be pretty large just break ice into pieces. I use store boughten ice but it will take ice trays and or ice from an ice maker just fine.

This is kind of a mixed bag. It makes lots of ice and it makes ice fast. However, there is a design weakness in that if the ice sensor breaks off (easy to do). The unit stops working and as far as I can tell can't be fixed. If you get one, be very careful not to damage the ice sensor. Boudraux

Pretty heavy, particularly if there is any water on the unit. Worth it though because it makes good ice very quickly

Yes it makes very fine ice... The blade can also be moved to shave it even finer...and as crazy as it sounds the type of ice you use makes a difference also the best is the half moon from your ice make... We love love love our machine a friend of mine bought one also and they love theirs also !!! It's Great!!!

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

The ice is about the size of a playing marble...maybe a little bigger, with a hole through the center. I hope this helps.

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

I have had no issues with snow or ice. The mesh is very stout screening. This has worked great for me and I've had over a foot of snow with ice and no problems
