Combler Ice Cube Tray with Lid and Bin, Small Round Ice Cube Trays for Freezer 2 Pack, Upgraded 53X2 Pcs Wide Thin Ice Tray Easy Release, Small Ice Maker, Mini Sphere Ice Mold for Chilling Drinks

I thought these might be fun for cocktails and mixed drinks and a little more versatile than normal tray cubes. Easy to fill but hard to guess how much to add. I find bottled water makes nicer, clearer ice, but the trays don't have a very good fill level line so I end up with either small flat spots or over-fillage (and that results is ice that's a little harder to extract and sometimes flanges on the balls. I pop the two halves apart and then gently twist the bottom mold to release the ice. A quick splash of water (tap cold is fine) before separating helps a little to loosen the ice if you find it's hanging up, but a little twist and then invert over the bin and gently tap once or twice and the ice is out. The tray is good for storage of the ice balls, but the top fits pretty close so you might need to be careful it doesn't bind when you take it off. Also--plastic gets brittle when it's cold, so be careful. Last, the ice will freeze pretty as long as the trays aren't in a tight space (for example, trays inside the storage bins while trying to freeze.) Hope they continue to hold up.

I absolutely love these ice trays! I followed the directions which were very simple to understand and they've come out perfect everytime. They freeze faster than my regular ice cubes do. The plastic that the trays are made of is more durable than expected and I love how easily the ice is to remove. I don't even have to run the trays under water to get the ice out. I slightly twist them with the lids on and they are easy to separate and it loosens the ice. Then I just dump the ice into the provided ice bin. I really like not having to run the trays under water. The ice balls are the perfect size to put into the Swell water bottle that I use and I also love them for my iced coffee. I use this ice for all of my iced beverages now. If I had more freezer space, I'd order more trays. I'm very pleased with these ice trays.

It works really well. Makes great small ball ice (or pebble ice) that my wife just loves, but they’re hard to get out and one has already broken in half after about 1 week of use. So you have to be very gently and not try too hard to get the ice out.

The media could not be loaded. So I, like every millennial who watches instagram or tik tok, am obsessed with having a gram worthy organized freezer full of different types of ice, an unrealistic fantasy since mine is full of frozen Dino nuggets and popsicles, but I gave it a try anyway.I have refilled these trays three times so far and emptied them into the included storage container and here are my thoughts and why I gave it three stars;1. It’s impossible to get perfect balls every time (that’s what she said, just kidding, but seriously)I’m not sure if it happens in the transfer to the freezer, or if I haven’t found the perfect balance of water, who knows. Sometimes there’s a few perfect little spheres, a lot of half circles, still cute, but sometimes they all stick together to create a honeycomb kinda ice cube…cute in its own way I guess.2. I admit, I’m not as physically fit as I once was, but getting these ice cubes out are a work out in themselves. Unlike the preferred silicone trays, these plastic ones don’t bend and it’s more time consuming than I’m willing to do to pluck out each half moon out individually. (Clearly my time needs to be spent back in the gym instead)3. The process of filling…you fill it with water, then press the lid on top of it so water squirts everywhere…and I mean EVERYWHERE. That’s fun. Forces me to give my neglected countertops and floor a good wipe down I guess.4. Although the plastic container was a nice touch, (I mean, the ice cubes have to be put into something right?) it’s pretty flimsy. Every time I lift the lid from it, I hold my breathe and hope it doesn’t snap/break, and it’s worked so far, but I don’t have a lot of faith in its longevity…However, I’m keeping it. I like the cute scooper that was included, so there’s that. 😊

This comes with two ice trays and a container (& lid) to hold the ice balls. The container holds 4 trays of ice balls. I like that it comes with a little scoop and small ice tongs.I had trouble twisting the ice trays at first due to weak arm muscles. In frustration I had placed the tray on the divider in the sink (because my counter was cluttered) and pushed a little. I heard a Crack and realized I could use it and my hands like a teeter totter.Then it became easy, using the sink divider, to gently twist the trays. I lifted the lid off, and twisted a bit more loosening up most of the ice. I slowly turned it over the container bin and twisted a bit more. There's always one ice ball that doesn't want to leave.I love having this tidy bin full of ice, instead of a 5lb bag of ice that takes up so much room in my freezer.I keep the ice trays in the top of my cupboard until I need to make a new batch. My friend said I should place it in a bag to keep the dust off, but I haven't yet.

When I first started using these ice trays, I wasn't much of a fan. The ice didn't come out easily, water, which later turned to ice, was everywhere... I really thought this purchase was a bust. Then, I started experimenting with how much water I was using and found the sweet spot. Now, I love these ice trays. They're awesome and are the perfect size. B/c it's smaller ice, it'll chill a drink quicker and longer than larger ice cubes. I'd buy more if I needed them. They're great.

These are the best little ice cube trays ever! I use them with my 40 oz Stanley tumbler and they stay in my cup all day long. I love these because they make ice that is the perfect size for eating!! They are super easy to use and even came with an instruction sheet that had pictures! The box that comes with it to dump the ice into once it’s been frozen makes it super easy to keep this ice stocked in my freezer. It does make a little mess but it’s alright for me since I’m only freezing water in them. Overall a great purchase and new staple item in my household!!

It does what it says. Makes ice and provides a place to store said ice, so no complaints. Only a 50-50 chance of round ice. Of course even just how flat the tray sit can probably change those chances.
