Tovolo Mini Ice Cylinder- Squeeze & Release- Set of 2, 1000422, Gray

This is the best mini ice tray I've purchased to date and it exceeded my expectations! My previous ice tray made the same cubes but in a flat tray and it was a painstaking process to free each individual cube. This system is easy to fill and even easier to free the cubes. It freezes fast because the cubes are so small and it feels really durable despite daily use. Each cylinder provides a generous amount of ice cubes for a large drink. My only complaint is it does leave a mysterious white film in my drinks that I can't seem to wash or rinse off the trays but it doesn't change the flavor of my drinks. It takes up much less space in the freezer too.

I love ice, this thing is awesome. I just put water in it, put the lid inside, put it in the freezer and boom cute mini ice cubes. The material is very nice and there’s no leaking, ice taste normal. Word of advice for getting the ice out is thawing it by running it under warm water for a bit then using a fork or knife to kind of ledge the two pieces apart. It’s very easy I’ve used it over 20 times now with no issues. Love that it comes with 2 cause using one you’d realize it’s not much ice. Perfect little snack though. I personally freeze it upside down because for some reason the water all collects and makes a bowl on the bottom if you use it normally.

I had a nugget ice maker. I’m moving so I sold it. I miss the ice I could just crunch on if I wanted. I love this ice maker. I only gave 4 stars because sometimes it’s a little hard to get them out of the container.

Amazon purchase and delivery was easy. Instruction on use of the product was provided, but not necessary as the design is not only innovative, but intuitive. The Fill line is a bit hard to see, so its easy to overfill. You fill what looks like a whit rubber can coozie, the "ice tray" with water to the fill line, then insert what looks like a plastic cup holder into the coozie which pushes the water up the inside of the ice tray. Watch out for overflow, it can make a mess...best to insert the cup holder into the ice tray over the sink. Convenient placement in a freezer, especially if you don't have a lot of surface space, which is required for traditional ice trays. Freezing takes a few hours. When removing ice, you need to massage the ice tray, then try twisting out the cup holder like insert. Once the insert is out, it takes a bit of massaging the ice tray to get all the small cubes out. I find that working from the top down is the best technique. About half way down, pour out cubes, then work the other half of the ice tray. My daughter loves the tiny cubes "they're so cute". The cubes help cool a drink fast, but they do dissolve fast, so anything you are drinking will dilute, which is perfect for strong cocktails or water based drinks. Cubes are also perfect for packing objects in coolers...good surface area coverage.

The best ice mold ever, it's super easy to use and makes the perfect small square size ice cubes, especially perfect for anemic pregnant woman that just wants to snack on ice all day, best invention ever!!! Also I seen cheaper molds that ppl had a problem keeping lid to stay down, not on this one the lid stays on fine also there is a line to fill water too but if you put to much water there is a hole at the top of lid to let water out so you have the perfect amount, they thought of everything... I love this product!!! Consumer to Consumer, Hurry buy this product!!!

I bought these specifically for my iced coffee. I like smaller ice cubes/nuggets for that. They work great, freeze quickly, and come out easily. Very durable. I have told 3 friends that also enjoy iced coffee about them! I read the reviews before I purchased and haven’t had any of the issues with leaving plastic or residue in my drinks. I will be buying more for the summertime drinks!

Liked the idea of small ice cubes, however it’s a lot of work just to get a cup full. You have to wait 30 seconds, after putting hot water in the center of the cylinder, then pull out the center, crush the outside container to get the ice, and then there is about a half cup of crushed ice. You need both cylinders to get a full cup. The material is very durable, and the cups are easy to handle. I will probably make a lot ahead, so I have it on hand. Still love the idea of this product.

I really want to love this product but it is so hard to get the ice out. Once you can get the ice out it is great. But I spend a lot of time running it under hot water to get it to release. Even my husband has a hard time.

This is an amazing product and works as advertised. I am buying another set to replace my small ice-cube (1cm) trays. This makes small ice cubes, which are perfect if you are an ice-eater (like me), and enough for 1 drink if you like a lot of ice in it (like me). For regular folks, one of these makes enough ice for 2 drinks. You can de-ice it right into itself or a glass so there isn’t need for another container, and refill is quick and easy so you can do it right away. These do fit into my freezer door so they are easy to grab and don’t take up room inside. Tips: 1. When re-filling it, put it on a flat surface and press the top down until all the extra water is removed from the two holes on the top. (Watch out for the fountain!) This will also create suction keeping the water inside in place. 2. When de-icing, fill the center with hot water to detach it from the ice. This makes it easy to slide it out. 3. You do need to run it under hot water or let it sit to de-ice easily. 4. You do need to make sure the bottom is flat when freezing and the lid is secure in place. Otherwise it will sag and make flat ice at the bottom.

When I first bought these two ice makers — the type where you fill the sides with water and put the lid on top — I was a little sceptical about how well they’d perform. But after using them for about two weeks, I can honestly say I love them. They do exactly what they’re meant to do. You do need to give them a bit of a tap or twist to release the ice, and removing the plastic centre helps, but once the ice comes out it’s crunchy, solid, and in neat little square pieces. The ice lasts all day when used in an insulated cup. I use one tray at a time and keep the other as a backup, though I rarely even need it. My iced coffee stays cold and refreshing for hours.

best ice mould i’ve ever used, perfect little cubes, great for iced coffee

El diseño del producto es excelente, uno de los mejores que yo he visto en hielo, para quienes necesitan cubos pequeños. Había comprado ya un par que me tiene muy contento y en una comida llamaron la atención de mi pareja, por lo que quise regalarle unos. El problema fue que cuando llegaron, venían con un defecto de fabricación o de manejo. Los habría vuelto a comprar sin problema si no hubiera sido porque entre que los compré y que llegaron con el defecto, habían perdido el descuento del Hot Sale y costaban casi 50% más.

Es perqueño, como para un vaso cada recipiente, los hielos son pequeños, a veces si no presionas hasta abajo la parte gris, queda abajo un hielo grande.
