How well does this blend up frozen fruit? Does the blade hold up well?

It's does a great job. I've added fruit to some of my frozen mixed drinks and it chops it up really good. I've even used it to make dips too

I have only done margaritas without fruit but the way it blends all ingredients it would be my expectation that it can handle it.

I have not used frozen fruit yet. I would guess that completely thawed and drained fruit would work ok. Good luck!

It does a good job. I usually juice the apples and then blend it in the blender with kale and other greens. I've had no problems with it

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.

I am not sure about the exam spacing, but I can make smoothies out of the hardest frozen fruit. It chops extremely fine. My frozen fruit and juice are chopped almost to liquid. I believe it would be able to chop fine enough for baby food.

I personally bought this Ninja for fruits and vegetables. I found no problem using it. It blended well. I also tried some meat and fish, not bad as well. It is only one speed with no botton. easy to use. I would give 5 star for it. I do mostly fruit smoothies, absolute no problem at all and satisfied.

This blender has handled everything I've thrown at it beautifully! Big ice cubes no problem. Frozen whole strawberries, carrots and apples, no prob. We regularly add spinach and other greens to our smoothies but haven't tried kale however if you strip it from the stalk it would be fine. We use it to make salad dressings and its perfect for that. Baby food would be a breeze in this. I highly recommend this blender, so convenient for travel too!

Very good. Whether you use hard ice or frozen fruit it chops it up pretty well. My smoothies come out great. That's the main purpose I bought this blender and yes I would buy it all over again :) but it is very loud when you blend. If that doesnt bother you then it's perfect!

it will process fresh fruits & veggies, but don't try frozen fruits. it will destroy the cutter assembly! try putting as much liquid in first. good luck. after I had the Kitchen aid, I got a Waring Pro-same trouble. I finally got a NINJA and is wonderful

Yes, I love mine. I make fruit smoothies with mine, using fresh or frozen fruit with a little Greek yogurt. I usually let the frozen fruit thaw a bit first. Great little "blender" and I also love the grey ring around the cups that protect your fingers from the cold when drinking the smoothies. Can't go wrong with this unit, especially for the price.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

Yes, does an amazing job! I've used on frozen strawberries, peaches, etc. Just need to move blender in and up-and-down movement so you start blending top layer of fruit ... don't push down hard into all the frozen fruit at the bottom initially.

I have not tried any frozen items but it is very sharp and may work. It does not slice tomatoes well, it tears them up some. It grates and slices carrots well and onions.

Yes indeed, it's fine with frozen fruits. The mincing nozzle gives a thicker texture, like ice cream. The juicer nozzle makes snow, which is neat. It's not like crushed or shaved ice, it's actually the texture of snow. Make your own snow-cones or sorbet.

Yes, it crushes ice well. It has 3 speed/power settings, and one of them is ice crushing. The only things I make in this blender are frozen drinks, and it does well with a bit of stirring with a short wooden spoon.

Depends in the contents. Most fruit smoothies come out good. Leafy add ins don't get fully blended. For some reason frozen blueberries don't turn out so well either.

i have been using the replacement blades for two months and they are holding up just fine. i have used the bullet to make tomato sauce, margaritas with ice cubes, and many other dishes.
