I used to get those tiny ice cube makers.... but don't need them anymore since I got a new Whirlpool fridge last year. Its built-in icemaker can dispense regular size ice cubes as well as crushed ice that was so tiny(almost the size of Tic Tacs) :)

Don't you think the crushed ice melts too fast?

Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to make ice in this tray using fruit juice, and to capture the squirted out juice as you squeeze the trays together, in the actual storage container, itself, temporarily, before freezing. It wouldn't be a big deal, for my purpose, as it will need to melt anyway, like it would be a bit messy and sticky and a lot of juice could be potentially wasted. However, I bought this as an easy way to preserve grape juice for communion at home, since it would fit in the tiny olive wood goblet designed for that purpose, and thwart the grape juice gnomes who have no respect and seem to guzzle the entire bottle while I am sleeping. I want ease of use, less mess, something easier to disguise from prying eyes. Might it squish OK inside the storage carton, to preserve the remaining juice, which could be lost otherwise. And that excess juice could be reused. Or perhaps a large bowl might serve even better for that part of the process? Any better ideas??

Thanks for the review! I've been seeing these at the thrift stores and didn't know what they were. Not the quickest and easiest to use so I'm guessing that is why they are donated.

These would be great for using in my BlendJet! It has a strong motor and it can break down full ice cubes, but using something like would make sure I'm not overstressing it. And I'm the only one who really uses ice in my apartment. With how small the ice balls are, you could probably add some directly to a soda or energy drink can to help cool down the drink without using a glass.

While really unwieldy, they look adorable. Coincidentally, I have been looking for an icemaker or ice. You can't buy a small bag of ice - has to be a huge 7 or 20 LB bag. My water is not good or safe enough for tap water and I don't have an icemaker in my stupid freezer/fridge. I was going to buy ice trays again but then was thinking I need to use bottled water to fill them based on that water issue. $23 seems a lot of money for a few trays and a bin but it is a cute idea and I always appreciate your videos! I appreciate your willingness to try things and present them to us. You rock!

Thanks for the review. Very helpful. I just got mine today. I am legally blind. I had a friend look at the video from the QR code. He thought I Could put all of the trays in the bin and stack them on top of each other. Then pour the water? Since there are the little holes in the bottom of each tiny ice cube mold. I would think that it might be a faster way to fill up the ice trays. But maybe that would make even more of a mess. I’m just thinking out loud but I’m not sure. What do you think?

Have had ice and filtered water and ice for nearly 20 yrs, but just moved and have none. I just bought a countertop that is highly recommended with extended warranty. Was excited, before I saw this review. However, after this is a TON of work for not much ice and a mess. Gonna pass. Plus plastic trays will likely crack over time.
