    Yes, it handled ice great! I would recommend, though, get a few ice trays with smaller cubes. The large cubes crush well, and I haven't had a problem before, but smaller cubes "feel" easier on the machine.

    I have a Ninja Master Prep that's probably 8 years old. It does a nice job, but the lid is hard to clean, and I never feel like it's clean. Just plan on soaking it immediately after each use. Not sure all models have the same lid.

    America's Test Kitchen did a testing (subscription-required) of mid-range blenders and they highly recommend the Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender.

    Vitamix if you have the money,
    Ninja if you have less of the money,
    Anything else if you just want to throw away money.

    I've used a bunch and they all seem to work reasonably well. I haven't seen a significant difference in the $150 one vs the $50 model. For me, the biggest factor in which one I pick is the size of the container you blend in. Some of the smaller ones only have 12 or 20oz cups. I need bigger than that sometimes.

    I'm currently using this one and have been really happy with it.

    If the money is right, then either Vitamix or Blendtec. I have and love a Vitamix.

    vitamimix will always outdo outlast over perform with incredible warranty and mission statement. stop repurchases of cheap blenders and juicers. my latest lesson anyway. good luck a stay well☆
