Blenders that grind ice?
My blender (which I'll admit is about 10 years old) still works just fine but it doesn't grind ice very well... in fact it only swirls them around.
I thought this group would be a good one to ask for recommendations about what blenders really do grind ice? I see that the Magic Bullet is advertised as being able to do that... does it?

Thx - I have heard lots of good reports about vitamix. But I'd prefer to find something right now that's not that expensive.

MustangMolly and longdivision - Thanks.
Bulleriina, don't think I've heard of that one... I'll definitely look into it. Thx.

Sounds good Wuv.... right now it's between that and a Ninja, although I'll also check into the Blendtech.
Thanks all of you for the suggestions. I just want to make sure I get one this time that will really grind up that ice! Lots of smoothies and protein drinks in my future over the coming months... having lots of ice in them will make them that much more tasty.

I have a ninja and it has 3 canisters so I can grind large, med or small quantities. Works fine.

Thx Chloe222. I've been curious about how well the Ninja works... I've certainly heard a lot about them. I'm looking forward to being able to make my protein drinks with lots of crushed ice.
Is the Ninja used in this youtube clip the type you're referring to?

I have a Magic Bullet! I've had it for about three years, and it's still going strong! It does grind ice, very well!
