Silicone Ice Cube Maker - Hexagon-Shaped Nugget Ice Tray - 96 Pieces - Blue - Includes Mold, Storage Cup, Airtight Lid

This little ice maker is brilliantly designed. I like having crushed ice around and this ingenious gadget lets me make it. It freezes quickly and makes enough for one drink. When I am expecting guests I save it up for a few days. I have been using this for several months now and I am very happy with it. After the first couple times there was no imparted taste from the maker.

Only writing bc I was really hesitant to buy. I don’t have an ice maker at work and I neeeeeeed ice water 24/7. It works. It doesn’t make like diamond shaped ice cubes it’s more like big chips. So if you need ice, it works. If you need pretty ice, look elsewhere. But it is kind of expensive for what it is.

Way smaller than I thought it would be. It works as it should, you fill the silicone part with water while the white insert is in it freeze it remove the insert squeeze the silicone container and the ice comes out and you pour the ice into the white container. You only get one maybe two servings of ice ...not full glasses. The white insert gets frozen to the ice so I have to squeeze it a bit to get it out and I'm worried about breaking it and it's way smaller than I expected.

I was a little skeptical after reading reviews of this type of product (and purchased this one because it had better reviews than others did). I don't use a whole lot of ice, but freezer space is tight in my home, and I hate having so much space taken up by regular ice cube trays that I can't really put anything above (because the ice would get dirty) or below (because it would be uneven, so water would spill). This is not a huge thing - it doesn't hold a ton of ice. It doesn't make big cubes. But it does what it says. I like that it has a lid, too - everything stays clean.I didn't find it too hard to get the ice out in between making batches - just press around the sides before removing the cup, to loosen things up. The cup holds about 3 batches worth of ice. In my photo, I have 3 batches in the cup and a 4th batch being stores in the edge compartment.The tricky part is trying to get the outside (ice-making) area as full as possible without spilling any water into the center cup. For the first fill, it's easy because if you mess up, you can just dump out the water and start over. (Or if you end up with a little spilled in the bottom of the cup on the first batch, no big deal.) For 2nd and 3rd batches, when the cup has some "made" ice in it, you really don't want to spill water into the cup of ice, because it will just freeze the already-made ice cubes together into a block. I've found if I'm paying attention and being careful, it's easy to avoid this. Holding the cup down while putting water in the edge section helps. If you realize the cup started floating a little, tilt the whole thing to pour out some of the water, push the cup back down, and start filling it again. (If you fill the sides, realize the cup has floated, and *then* push it back down, water quickly spills over the top, which you want to avoid.)

I bought this so I could make ice while camping and traveling. It takes up have the freezer I’m sad to say

It WORKS! And it is very easy (and kinda fun) to use. Just a few minor details that dropped it to a 4 star rating:1. If the inner plastic container is empty when making ice, the container may end up floating, causing the water to pool under it thus creating one big solid block of ice. *tip: make sure to double check that it is NOT floating once you set in freezer, the cover will not sit properly which will be your first hint; place it on a flat surface in your freezer (instead of on, I dunno, a bag of frozen chicken) and place something heavy on top to keep it weighed down. You will probably only have to do this for the first round of ice.2. You cannot pour the ice out (as I like to do to save time) while trying to freeze another batch of ice because all the water will pour out (haha!), however I like this product so much that I will be buying another one to have in rotation.*Also, I would suggest on your first fill, to fill the water, then take the container OUT and see where the water line is, and use THAT line to fill water WITHOUT the container inside, and THEN pushing the container in, thus displacing the water accordingly. RATHER than having the container filled with some ice already, trying to refill water in the tiny space provided by tugging on the silicone, and accidentally spilling water into your ice bucket, either melting your ice or creating an ice block on the bottom of your bucket ;)IT IS WORTH IT!

Only kind of makes diamond cubes. Nothing as pristine cut as in the pic. More slivers and odd small chunks of ice.

I got this to have ice on hand at work. It does create ice and the cube size is nice. My first go at making ice I filled the whole sleeve with water and pushed the bucket down inside. I was shocked when I came back and had a huge piece of ice only on the bottom. It must be filled by pulling the sleeve away as instructed.

This was an unsatisfactory purchase as not only the ice a small, it's also very messy to use this product.You are supposed to pour water and press down the translucent container inside it to ensure the water freeze to the specific size but once pressed down it just comes back up despite numerous efforts. The lid is merely a silicon flap that can't shut the container tightly prevents the translucent container from popping back up.This might be the product for those who wants a semi-circle shaped ice. All in all the size of the ice is too small making the quantity required more and its not as functional.

I like the ease of getting the ice out but they're tiny malformed ice shards. Don't expect a cube of any sort. The shards also melt into a disc if you use the centre for storing your shards while making new ones.

As promised in the right size.

Buenos materiales, sin embargo es un poco dificil de utilizar, ya que al llenar de agua, el bote interno tiende a subir y es dificil poner la tapa

Simple to operate
