Amazing stuff, one can indeed make perfect ice spheres with it. The cubes are HUGE and lovely, I've stopped buying ice cubes altogether. Thanks to the large capacity it's more than enough for me to make 2 batches and store them in the freezer, even if multiple friends pay us a visit. I'm very satisfied. I had no issue with the products durability, but I must add that I do take care of my tools, and I am gentle with them.

Yup I said it, smaller balls than the last ice ball maker I had. It does make very clear ice with the Reverse Osmosis water we use at the house. If you bag them up and save them, they will frost over a little, but that goes away when you pour a drink. Let them sit out for a few minutes in the glass before you make your drink or they will crack.

Tap water, clear ice first time. Fantastic, but be aware slow freezing is the trick, so 48 hours is required. Nice big cubes, crystal clear.

For the same price Berlinzo makes a superior product with a hard outer shell over the foam cooler providing further insulation, and includes air tight bags to store finished ice in.

Quality for the price, I see it lasting a reasonable time. I bought the 2” square.Construction: It’s has a dense styrofoam base, lined with a silicone insert, plastic tray to hold the silicone cube tray both with holes for filling and leveling. I froze for 48 hours and I think a bit too long, but still turned out great.It freezes the ice from the top down, pushing the impurities in the water down for clear ice. This is a method I’ve been using in just a small cooler with no mold and chiseling cubes out of it. The method works.The ice cubes will clear further when tempered (letting the cube warm up a little). This will also aid in the ice NOT cracking. Be patient with your ice and have fun with it . . it’ll turn out great. Again this was my first shot out of this tray/maker and I think less freezing time will yield a better cube.I saw a review that said the ice cracked or shattered and video showed cube under running water. The cube will crack if the ice is directly out of the freezer and held under a running tap!!! Let the ice warm a few minutes, it will clear a bit, resist cracking and look better. I’ll rub the cube in just my washed hands works well.Not only does this cube look great in your drink, but it will also melt much slower than icemaker ice, NOT watering your drink as quickly.Very happy so far and do not see a reason I’d be unhappy any time soon. Take your time, use a little science and enjoy!!!

The square ice came out fine. Of the 8 cubes, 4 were completely clear. For the ones that were not clear, it might have had to do with the lid in contact with the water, shearing, and bubbles, and I'll try to avoid such things on the next round. I used (bottled) spring water (from Trader Joe's) that I boiled only once. Make sure you have space in your freezer. I placed the unit at the very back of the freezer. After the process, I placed the 8 cubes in individual, small Ziploc bags. If you store them all in a single Ziploc, they'll freeze together. The cubes are much too large for your ordinary drinking glass. If you have a wide mouth glass (I use a mug for ice tea), it's fine. I don't drink alcohol so I'll never know how well they'll fit into a bourbon or whiskey glass. Since it makes only 8 cubes over 30-36 hrs, you'll have to plan ahead for a large party. I like the look of clear ice so it was a fun science project. The very simple instructions include the science on how the ice remains clear.

Pros:- It makes good clear round ice. These are ~ 2 inch round and easily fits in a standard old fashioned glass/lowball or even a smaller whiskey glass. The glasses in my pictures are about 3.5" tall x 2.75" diameter aka not a true standard old fashioned glass/lowball or 3.5" high x 3.25" diameter.- Worked great with my well water with softener. I used water straight from the facet set to cold for these pictures. I did not use filtered water, but if I do, I may come back and post an update.- It's easy to fill with water. See fill Instructions below for more information.- It's easy to remove the molds. See removal instructions below for more information.- Makes 8 ice rounds in one go.- Works great to stack in a highball glass for other cocktails.- Noticeable difference in my old fashions as the ice melts. Less mineral or diluted tasting. I feel like the rounds has to melt more compared to normal ice from any standard mold I own that are the same size before the cocktail tastes less potent.- I also feel like they do melt a bit slower compared to standard ice. I can finish the cocktail and usually be able to make another before the cube is gone but that's subjective to how fast the drink goes down 😁.Cons: **personal opinion** if you disagree with the below, rate it 4.5 to 5 stars.- The giant ice block at the bottom seems a bit waisted. You can let sit for a few than take out and store for other drinks like big batch punch or tea when hosting. Wish it had another mold at the bottom to turn it into cubes, rounds...something instead of a giant rectangle for reuse. True Ice molds do this with their cubes and I find it a very nice touch. However, their cubes can be a bit more "fun" to remove 🤷.Fill Instructions:You fill the unit until ~2 inches from the top, place the molds inside the unit. If water does not flow from the top as shown in one of my pictures, you need to top off with more water by filling through one of the holes. It doesn't take long at all.Removal:As stated earlier, to help with removal try to stay within the instructions limits. I usually let mine go for 24 -28hrs without any issues. Could probably do 30 without much fuss. Pull one handle of the mold out. I usually pull one of the ends first than the middle. For the big block of ice at the bottom. I usually let sit for a few minutes on the counter than dump into the sink or store for later uses like big batch tea when having guests.Other:Material, like many other molds that use silicon, can be a dust magnet. Not really a con but fair warning for those that would store this sitting out instead of in a cabinet or drawer.

Este producto sin duda es fantástico y lo recomiendo por lo siguiente: buen precio, exelentes materiales de construcción, fácil de desmoldar, buena cantidad de cubos de hielo y exelente tamaño de los cubos.Puntos negativosMaterial del aislamiento, si bien es de buena calidad recomiendo ponerle una cobertura o forrarlo como yo con cinta amarilla/negra, esto para evitar que se maltrate o se le adhiera el agua.Demaciado agua, al final tendrás 8 cubos y un bloque grande de hielo, pero mira lo podrás usar para enfriar vibras que no requieran un hielo transparente o enfriar latas en tu hielera .Resumen: 3B 100% recomendado.
