The Shake N Take will crush ice quite well. I’ve owned one for about a couple of years now and use it every morning for my chocolate protien shake, with lot’s of ice.

I bought one of these. My son and I just love it!! We make smoothies everyday, including blending frozen strawberries and blueberries each use. It seems to be fine. I don’t run it constantly, it only take a few second at a time and quite quickly your smoothie is ready I love it.

OMG…who would pitch a vita-mix against a shake-n-take? The have two different purposes. A vita-mix is great for a food processor, juicer or blender. But its HEAVY. A shake-n-take is small & portable. Great for parents with disabled kids who need to blend all food for their child. Just throw it in your bag & go.

Vita-Mix FTW…. With a 10 year warranty, your only paying ~$500/10 or 50 bucks a year. After that, its 30 bucks a year to renew it. And that thing can make snow out of ice in literally seconds.

Problem with above device is that I doubt it will have enough guts to really blend properly. I can throw a whole, unpeeled apple, seeds and all, in my Vita Mix, add in some whole, unpeeled cumquats, a peeled banana, maybe some strawberries + syrup, and 20 seconds later it is so pureed you could never find the seeds…

IMHO, its not hard to pour it out of a cup. However it takes far longer to properly puree a smoothie. Plus, you can make steaming hot soup in a Vita-Mix in no time… friction for the win.
