LittleStar Ice Cube Trays 2 in 1 Portable Ice Ball Maker Kettle With 17 Grids Flat Body Lid Cooling Ice Pop/Cube Molds For Hockey,Cocktail,Coffee,Whiskey,Champagne,Beer,Juice,Water (Gray)

I moved into an apartment that doesn't have an ice maker so I've had to resort to ice trays. The 5 ice trays I had all broke so I found this gadget on Amazon and it has been the best $$ I have ever spent. I have been using it for about a month and it makes my life so much easier because all you have to do is press down and the ice pops out. No more having to take the ice out one by one and dealing with freezing hands in the process. And it comes with a bucket for the ice and ice trays so it saves a lot of space in the freezer compared to individual ice trays. It makes a lot of ice too!One thing to take note is the water takes longer to freeze if you put the ice trays in the bucket so I just leave them out in the freezer and store them when I'm done. However, if this ever breaks or if I need another I will definitely be purchasing this again! Who knew ice could be such a nuisance.

I apologize to the producers of this product but... this is the worst thing i have ever spent money on in my life. I saw an ad for this and was so excited. My new freezer did not have an ice maker and I love ice. I was getting a weird taste in the trays so i thought this would be good. It is so difficult to open after its frozen. I would have to leave it out for about 5 minutes after frozen and then use all my might to rip this thing open. After fighting for my life to get this thing open i would get maybe 4 semi decent ice balls. the rest would be stuck or broken. After smashing it shut and open or banging it on the counter you could make get a few more half balls. In order to get the rest out you would have to fill it with warm/hot water and wait for it to melt and then repeat all over again. I only had to use this for maybe 3 months before the top ripped off while i was trying to open it one time and I'd never been happier. We bought a counter ice maker on sale for $40... buy the counter ice maker... it's worth it.

With how hot things have been getting, I needed ice. I bought this because the ice is sealed off in the plastic container, that way nothing in my freezer could get into the water.The first two times it took 2 days to fully freeze enough to get any ice from it. Then after that I'd do it every day around the same time and for some reason there were one or two slots on the ice that were just slush rather than frozen completely.Eventually after using this for several weeks, the plastic inside, under the ice cube trays, created shards of ice too. Got me a little nervous it might be breaking the plastic, but it seems to still be holding up.The spike top that you use doesn't always work, and can be difficult to push down after weeks of use. I'd have to use my whole body weight to push the lid down, and I can feel the plastic lid and body of the product start to bend when I do. I normally have to push the last few ice cubes out by hand.I guess I'd say I'm happy with it for the fact I can make ice cubes in a closed box, even if it takes longer to freeze than normal ice cube trays.

Loved the idea but it's impossible to get the ice cubes out and it froze shut.

Ice balls are the current fad. One big ball of ice in the high ball glass with a couple of shots of your favorite bourbon seems to be the 'thing' these days. So, why not a bunch of grape sized balls of ice in your favorite mixed drink? If that's your thing, this is the gadget for you. Following the directions, this device will produce enough ice in one making to chill down two beverages. (TIP... keep your alcohol in the freezer and your mixer in the fridge. That keeps your beverage colder longer and prevents melting and watering down. Also, use a good quality glass double wall glass.) This ice ball maker works very well. Good purchase. Five stars.

Top loop came broken, very hard to get the ice out have to use all my strength to pull it apart even after running hot water over it.

It’s a good concept and it works only if you don’t mind drinking out of it with a very long straw. the ice cubes stick together and clump up and won’t come out of the small spout if they made the spout bigger maybe they could come out this thing. Also is half the ice cubes break up and a little shards but it works just fine for my iced coffee as long as I pour my drink in the contraption.

Impossible to use unless you are Hercules. Will not push closed and never could open it, had to wait for it to melt to close and empty then collapse.Does not work.Waste of money.
