Ice Cube Tray with Lid and Bin, PHINOX 84 pcs Ice Trays for Freezer, Ice Cube Trays for Freezer with 3 trays, Container, Lid & Ice Scoop, BPA Free

LOVE this tray. I used to buy bags from the gas station and now I don't have to anymore. It's sturdy, holds enough ice for a 2 person household, and very easy to use. Cubes are a desirable size and easy to remove with the lid presser tool. Stacks perfectly and securely, and the shape makes it easy to stash in the freezer- doesn't take up much space. LOVE the little scoop that comes with it- perfect size. My only improvements would be: 1. A latch of some kind to keep it all together securely so it doesn't get knocked over - I have not had an issue with this but it is worrisome. No spills yet because it has decently high sides on the ice trays- just don't overfill it. 2. Make it dishwasher safe

this thing is great. ive long been frustrated with the ice tray options out there, it seemed like there had to be some smart solution but it was always the same variations of trays that dont solve anything. recently i saw this and it looked great. decided to give it a shot, and yes, it is great. how great? im writing a review about an ice tray. its compact, the ice cubes are perfect sized, everything feels high quality, functions as it should, and its clean. i can make ice, pop it out, store it and dispense it in a 100% sanitary way.

Since my refrigerator's ice and water dispenser started leaking, we've turned off the water connection and needed a good way to make and store ice. I use ice daily in my protein shakes and like to add ice to sodas that I have not stored in the freezer, so I really want a ready supply. This setup makes a good amount of ice--maybe three to four cups or so at a time. You fill the trays at the sink, stack them on top of the storage bin, put on the cover and freeze (overnight in my freezer). When the cubes are frozen, you remove the trays of frozen cubes, place one upside down on top of the storage bin, put the cover back on and push down. The prongs in the cover push the cubes out into the bin. You do need to put a good amount of pressure on the cover to make the cubes all release. I'm short, so I have to do it on a lower table so I can put my weight on it, but it works. If any cubes don't fall out, you can press on the bottom of the individual cup which should push out that cube. I had some trouble getting the pronged plate to fit into the lid; it's quite snug, but after a little maneuvering and effort, it snapped in. The trays, lid and storage box all seem sturdy and well made. There was a little bit of a learning curve, but I've grown to really like this setup. You can carry the water-filled trays on the storage container with the cover on from the sink to the freezer with no spillage. The cubes are smallish, about half the size of a standard old-style freezer ice tray, but they are plentiful and work well in a variety of sizes and shapes of glasses or cups. There is a handy scoop included as well. Definitely a keeper! My only problem is remembering to refill the tray in the evening every few days so I have a steady supply of ice!

I love this "ice maker"! I live in a camper at the moment and I have a fridge that is sort of in-between a mini fridge and a regular fridge, so there isn't a lot of room. I was buying ice at the grocery store, which is 45 minutes from my house, so by the time I got home it was all melty and would be one huge chunk after if refroze. So I started making my own ice. I had some silicone molds but they were leaving a weird residue on my ice and the ice was really hard to get out of them. Not to mention, they were really flimsy, hard to get in the freezer without spilling them, and the ice was very difficult to remove. Once I got the ice out, I had nowhere to put it other than a ziploc bag. This "ice maker" solved all of those problems! It fits perfectly in my small freezer. I can't stack the ice trays on top of the bin due to my shelf, but that's okay. The ice trays are rigid, except for the bottom where you push the ice out, which makes filling and moving them to the freezer so much easier than the silicone molds. I haven't spilled a drop yet. I'm not sure why my silicone molds left a white residue on my ice, maybe minerals from our well water or something leaching from the silicone, but these ice trays don't do that, thank goodness. It was really hard to clean off of my cups. The silicone molds would also freeze to the bottom of the freezer if they were even ever so slightly wet, but these trays don't do that either. The ice generally pops right out of these trays, especially the top tray, for some reason whichever tray is on the bottom will give me a hard time sometimes, but I promise you it's a million times better than the silicone molds where I had to fight each individual cube. I really like the way you dump the ice by pressing the lid, instead of having to fight each individual cube like with the silicone mold, they all dump at one time right I to the storage bin and you're done. The cubes aren't the biggest, but they're still a decent size and will usually last all day in my swig cup, depending on how many times I have to refill it. I can get probably 3 trays of ice in the storage bin, so I wish I'd have bought the 3 tier set. If I empty and fill the trays every time I get ice the bin stays full. We are ice-aholics at my house and my son is notorious for filling his cup, but not dumping and refilling the trays. I will go to get ice and he's left me 10 cubes. I ordered another 2 tier set because I couldn't find where to order just the trays. I'll have to make room in the freezer for one more (I have chest freezers so that's not a big deal) so that I'm never out of ice! The trays are also really easy to refill. If you overfill it's easy to dump a little out and redistribute the water amongst the cubes. There are little indents around each cube that allow the water to flow from one cube to another so that you can fill them evenly. While I would definitely prefer a real ice maker over this, I won't have one of those until my house is built, so for now this is the best option for me and I absolutely love it!

This product ("Phinox") is sturdy. Each part, the lid, the bin, and each tray is made of sufficiently thick plastic that should last for years. The product comes in its own thick cardboard container and, hence, is well protected from damage during shipment, especially if the shipment includes other items. Each tray has 32 cells. The bottom of each cell is made of silicone, which facilitates the release of the cell's ice cube (technically, cuboid because the three dimensions differ, as discussed below). The trays are easy to fill and insert into the freezer without spilling water. The cubes are easy to release. The included pillar plate with 32 "fingers" (one finger for each cell in a tray) is inserted in the lid and the lid is placed over an inverted tray, which is itself placed over the bin. Pressing the lid against the tray at the center and, if necessary, each end of the lid, causes each finger to press against each cell's silicone bottom and release each cube. I let the trays sit out for about 5 minutes before emptying them, but I may find with experience that the trays are equally or nearly equally easy to empty without waiting. (Remove the pillar plate from the lid if you wish to use the lid as a cover over the stacked trays in the freezer.) Each cube is stated to be 0.9" L x 0.9" W x 0.7" D (2.3 x 2.3 x 1.8 cm.). Its calculated volume is 0.57 cu. in. / 0.31 fl. oz. (9.3 cu. cm. / ml.)--perfect for my use. (Below, "volume" means calculated volume.) I previously tried another product sold on Amazon that produces 1" (2.5 cm.) diameter spheres of ice because I liked their shape and size. Each sphere's volume is 0.52 cu. in. / 0.29 fl. oz. (8.6 cu. cm. / ml.). Hence, the Phinox's cube is only 8.2% larger, a negligible difference. I returned the previous product because it was damaged (cracked) on arrival and flimsy. Moreover, several 1-star reviews noted that the product cracked after light use or a short period. I am glad that I found the Phinox. Compared to the returned product, the Phinox is far superior in quality, ease of use, and likely useful life for about the same price. In addition, unlike the returned product, each tray can be filled and transported with no water spillage. You need not search further on Amazon for a quality product that makes ice of a similar size. You will not find, as was true for me, many similar products that have a comparable rating as of today (4.7 average rating; 700+ ratings; 93% 4- and 5-star ratings; 2% 1- and 2-star ratings). The three-tray set, which I purchased, gives me the option to use all three trays to make 96 cubes with a total volume of 54 cu. in. / 30 fl. oz. (890 cu. cm. / ml.)--or to use one or two trays that make 1/3 or 2/3 the number of cubes and volumes, respectively. Sometimes the Phinox may be offered at a discount from its regular price. On my purchase date of 2023-03-28, the price of the three-tray set was $18.99 vs. its regular price of $22.99, a 17.4% discount. (The price of the two-tray set was then $14.99 vs. its regular price of $18.99, a 21.1% discount.)

Best ice maker ever! So easy to use and it has its own handy storage container. I originally bought this for our camper but use it in the house now!

This product was exactly what I was looking for when I came to Amazon looking for an ice cube tray! I needed a covered tray because my freezer smells funky, and anything unsealed will gain an odd taste (I rent my house, so I don’t own the freezer and I haven’t been able to get rid of the smell unfortunately). For that same reason, I was also looking into getting a freezer-safe container to keep the ice that I made in. I also wanted a silicone tray for easy removal, but the trays made entirely from silicone don’t have complete lids because they’re flexible. This product’s trays have hard plastic framing, but the pockets that hold the ice/water are silicone, allowing the ice to be removed easily. The lid seals the trays enough so that my ice tastes and smells great, and the storage container is sealed sufficiently as well. Basically, this product hits all of my bases, and after 6 months of using it consistently, I’m very pleased! While the plastic doesn’t appear to be of the nicest quality for a reusable kitchen gadget, I’ve found it be very durable. Considering the price, the quality is good. No damage (major or minor) has occurred within 6 months of regular use. The product came with good instructions that clearly state the item shouldn’t be put in a dishwasher, so I use warm water and dish soap to wash it by hand. Not a problem, because it doesn’t need to be washed very often anyways. To remove ice from the trays quickly, I tried another reviewer’s advice: run warm water over the back of the ice tray. The ice comes right out! I do this almost every time the ice is ready.

This makes enjoying ice so much better.. it’s easy to use and way better than a traditional ice tray.. you have 2 trays of ice ready while you have some in the main part.. and the cubes itself it a great size not too big or small.. such a great product thanks
