I love these! These make any drink 10x better! I’ve used them for about a year, and let me share what I wish I would’ve known sooner, as these take some work.First, you need to have about 10-15 of these trays handy to even partially fill up a bin like I did in the first photo. If you don’t want to dedicate 10 minutes to do this task every time, then this product isn’t for you. If you don’t want to remove the ice from the trays in advanced and instead do so each time you get a drink, don’t bother. It’s too much work to remove ice from one tray at a time; they need to be done in batches with at least 10 at a time. Also, for removal, you’ll need an ice bin and a scoop.After removing them from the freezer, thaw the trays for about five minutes. This is optional, but it may make things easier. After that, wring them out like you would a washrag and shake the cubes into an ice bin. I do this in the sink because not all of them will make it into the bin.Now, a lot of people complained how they couldn’t remove every ice cube. People… There are like 160 small cubes in these trays! If you have ten, that’s well over 1,000! Don’t stress over removing every single cube… If it’s too much work, move onto the next tray. Lol. In over a year, I have *never* removed every cube from a tray before.Now, this next part is important! If you don’t do this, all of your hard work will be ruined. Whenever your bin is full of ice (okay, it won’t be full, it probably takes about 30 trays to fill an entire bin lol), place it into the freezer. Next, set a timer for five minutes… After the time passes, open the freezer again and give the ice bin a good shake.Earlier, while you were dispensing ice, all of the cubes melted a very small amount. Therefore, all of the ice will freeze together into a single block if the bin isn’t shaken! You may want to do this again after another five minutes…. It greatly varies depending on your freezer, but the key is to make sure the ice fully freezes again, but *without* freezing to one another. You can refill the trays or something while waiting for this time to pass.Last part. When it comes to cleaning, *do not* make the same mistake I did and leave these in stagnant water with other dishes. Dirt will essentially glue to the silicon and will create dirty ice! Gross!! If you have to clean them though, I found success placing them into a sink and fully covering them with a degreaser, like Comet. After letting the trays sit in a degreaser for ten minutes, I poured boiling water over them and let it soak for another 10 minutes. Then, I rinsed the trays with a strong water pressure to fully remove any leftover dirt. Good as new!I promise, this isn’t as much work as it sounds. Dispensing about 15 ice trays into a bin will take ten minutes + five minutes of waiting before giving the bin a good shake in the freezer. I only have to dispense the trays every 2-3 days or so. It isn’t much work at all, especially if you just keep the trays clean.

The audacity this thing has to say it's an ice tray is hilarious. Not only after washing it 5 times does the ice still taste like licking the bottom of lightning McQueen tire( and when you do wash it, its like getting water boarded by a dominatrix niagra falls), getting the ice out is a WHOLE other ordeal. Not only does it take a prayer and a contract with the underlords themselves, once you get a rhythm after decades of trying to get the ice out, it chucks out ice in a farther spray than the Disney Fireworks display. I'm pretty sure I have mold growing somewhere from ice that's in my guest bedroom that's how far this bish throws ice. Not to mention this ice is for the people who ask for coke and have to settle for Pepsi, absolutely MICROSCOPIC ice squares. I get it, it's not the size of the ice but it's what you do with it, sure keep telling yourself that when the ice doesn't even know how to ICE properly. I grew so frustrated with this ice tray I immediately went to Best Buy and dropped more than I needed to on a nugget ice machine. It's not me, it's you ice tray, you were the problem. My low iron @ couldnt even justifying filling it with water and would have rather resorted to crunching on my grandmothers 130 year old cast iron skillet that has dust on it from 2 world wars.

While the bottom is a solid piece of silicone that adds some stability, the trays are hard to fill & spill easily on the way to the freezer. Then when frozen, hard to get them out. You have to bend the tray backward & pick at the cubes with your fingernails. A fun size once you have them, but not really practical at all.

I love having the tiny ice cubes. The only problem is that it can be a chore to get the ice out of the trays.

These work great, you need patience when removing the cubes, but I do like them, have held up very nice, the one issue I have had is that when stacked it takes a long time for the tray in the middle to completely freeze, thought IF this can with 2 more trays and some type of a 3 sided shelf for the freezer would be real cool for proper freezing.
