PHINOX Ice Cube Tray with Lid and Bin, Easy Release 84 Cubes for Freezer

I waited for this set to drop in price, and I’m glad I did. It’s a solid value for what you get. Nice‑sized ice cubes — bigger than I expected — and the trays themselves are small and compact, which is great for saving space. The cubes release easily; I haven’t even used the top mechanism yet. A light twist and they fall right out, which I appreciate. The only downside is that it takes a bit longer for all three trays to freeze when they’re stacked on top of each other in my freezer. The storage container is a great touch — compact but still able to hold a generous amount of cubes. I also like that the manufacturer included a scoop; it fits perfectly in the hand and works surprisingly well. My older eyes sometimes miss a cube when I’m filling the tray, so I’ll accidentally overfill one area. When that happens, I just tip the tray gently back and forth until the empty chamber fills — quick and easy. If I could change one thing, I’d make the cube chambers fully silicone instead of just the bottoms. Maybe a stainless‑steel exterior paired with full silicone chambers — durable on the outside, effortless release on the inside — would make it even better.

I love this "ice maker"! I live in a camper at the moment and I have a fridge that is sort of in-between a mini fridge and a regular fridge, so there isn't a lot of room. I was buying ice at the grocery store, which is 45 minutes from my house, so by the time I got home it was all melty and would be one huge chunk after if refroze. So I started making my own ice. I had some silicone molds but they were leaving a weird residue on my ice and the ice was really hard to get out of them. Not to mention, they were really flimsy, hard to get in the freezer without spilling them, and the ice was very difficult to remove. Once I got the ice out, I had nowhere to put it other than a ziploc bag. This "ice maker" solved all of those problems! It fits perfectly in my small freezer. I can't stack the ice trays on top of the bin due to my shelf, but that's okay. The ice trays are rigid, except for the bottom where you push the ice out, which makes filling and moving them to the freezer so much easier than the silicone molds. I haven't spilled a drop yet. I'm not sure why my silicone molds left a white residue on my ice, maybe minerals from our well water or something leaching from the silicone, but these ice trays don't do that, thank goodness. It was really hard to clean off of my cups. The silicone molds would also freeze to the bottom of the freezer if they were even ever so slightly wet, but these trays don't do that either. The ice generally pops right out of these trays, especially the top tray, for some reason whichever tray is on the bottom will give me a hard time sometimes, but I promise you it's a million times better than the silicone molds where I had to fight each individual cube. I really like the way you dump the ice by pressing the lid, instead of having to fight each individual cube like with the silicone mold, they all dump at one time right I to the storage bin and you're done. The cubes aren't the biggest, but they're still a decent size and will usually last all day in my swig cup, depending on how many times I have to refill it. I can get probably 3 trays of ice in the storage bin, so I wish I'd have bought the 3 tier set. If I empty and fill the trays every time I get ice the bin stays full. We are ice-aholics at my house and my son is notorious for filling his cup, but not dumping and refilling the trays. I will go to get ice and he's left me 10 cubes. I ordered another 2 tier set because I couldn't find where to order just the trays. I'll have to make room in the freezer for one more (I have chest freezers so that's not a big deal) so that I'm never out of ice! The trays are also really easy to refill. If you overfill it's easy to dump a little out and redistribute the water amongst the cubes. There are little indents around each cube that allow the water to flow from one cube to another so that you can fill them evenly. While I would definitely prefer a real ice maker over this, I won't have one of those until my house is built, so for now this is the best option for me and I absolutely love it!

My fridge doesn’t have an ice maker and I got tired of wrestling with the cheap plastic trays that always crack when I try to get the ice out. I saw this setup and decided to try it, and I’m so glad I did. When the ice drops into the bin all at once, it’s honestly satisfying. It doesn’t take a ton of force, and if you don’t overfill the tray, the cubes come out cleanly. Just leave a little space when you fill so the water doesn’t freeze over the top and turn into one solid block. I like smaller ice anyway, so this is perfect for me. The scoop is a nice bonus. I keep it inside the container and give the bin a quick shake when I pull it out of the freezer to loosen the cubes, since they can stick together a bit. The scoop helps break them apart and makes it easy to serve ice without grabbing it with my hands. It feels bougie even though it’s not expensive. I did get a small tear in the side of one tray after a while, but it still works fine as long as I don’t overfill it. It’s lasted over a year so far, and I’ll probably buy another soon so I can rotate through three trays. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add little covers for the trays themselves to keep anything from falling on them in the freezer. Even without that, I’m happy with this setup and use it every day.

Charming and petite. Great for tight spaces in the freezer. It’s a fairly complete set up. Fill the trays. When frozen, invert, use the blue “lid” to press on the inverted tray, over the little container, and the cubes pop out. I made the mistake of overfilling the trays, and the lid didn’t work as well, however, it was simple to press the inverted tray with your fingers and all the cubes came out easily. There is even a handy little scoop. It only holds about 3-4 cubes, but is better than a spoon for that purpose. Works well, takes up little space, and provides 2 trays of ice at a time. The container doesn’t really hold more than the 2 trays of ice, so if you are making more ice and the container is full, you’ll need to store the ice in something else. But I really like the set up and my freezer is the drawer-type, so the small size is perfect and I really do like ice in my beverages in summer.

Works as described. Loving the perfectly shaped little ice cubes. I have a smallish freezer so I am happy that this does not take up much space but gives a full bin of ice. Haven’t had any trouble with spills. The trays stack perfectly. The lid fits fine. Haven’t had any issues with odour. The very first time I used it there was a white-ish film on the ice cubes even though I washed the trays and ice bin before using. I ditched them, rewashed and redid the ice. No trace of white and no funny taste.

This is my second ice cube tray in this style, and it's a winner. Why this tray works where other similar products fail: 1. The top "cube popper" is guided so it won't slip off when you're pressing down to pop out the cubes (my last one failed miserably here, it kept sliding off when popping out the ice cubes). 2. The ice cube trays easily fit upside down in the ice cube bin (you'd think this was a given, but the last model I owned had lots of problems with this, it was very hard to hold the ice cube tray in place upside down when you apply force). 3. The cube trays stack without touching the water in the tray below. This is important because if they touch they'll freeze together and be hard to separate (again, a problem with the last model I owned). 4. The effort needed to pop out the cubes is about as expected, and far less than my last model. This model is quicker and more pleasant to use. All-in-all this ice cube system is designed well. You'll find other similar looking models lack in many little design flaws that this one solves. Thanks to the designers for not being lazy with the details. Tips: - Give the cube tray a little twist before popping them out, it'll make it easier. Some effort is needed to get them out, if it's hard still, start on one end and press just a third of the cubes at a time. - All of these ice making systems take longer to freeze than simple ice cube trays, about 24h, so maybe estimate 1 more tray than you think you'll need. I do like having the 3 tray version (I had 2 trays before and it didn't quite keep up with a house of two ice coffee drinkers and a dog that loves ice cubes).

I wanted to wait about a year before I reviewed this item for a couple of reasons, one to be able to comment on how well it worked, and two to be able to comment on how well it held up. What made me by the system in the first place was because my 12 year old refrigerator ice maker decided to die and I was not wanting to pay $500+ to fix the ice maker. I found the PHINOX ice trays, and they happened to be on sale when I bought it. When I first got it, it felt somewhat light weight and I was concerned that I would break it after a few weeks. Fast forward about a year and it is still going strong. In fact it worked so well I had to buy another one for the Lady in my life after she decided the "high end" ice cube trays that she had were cumbersome and really did not work for her needs. First glance opinion. They look like a gimmick with the stacking trays and the lid with the pins to push out the ice cubes when they are ready to be used. The cubes look small but when you place them in a glass or a mug the small cube shape actually fits better and you are able to have more cubes in your drink. Plus I was used to an ice maker that also made smaller cubes. They can take a while to freeze at first. It seems like over time they freeze faster, especially if you have ice in the storage tray underneath. After a year: The trays are solid and the silicon rubber in the trays does not seem to be showing any signs of wear or tear. I have seen people say they had issues "After they ran them through the dishwasher." Um.. sure.. who does that? I have been making ice once or twice a week, and I have not had any problems. I sometimes use the little ice scoop that comes with it, especially if someone is watching me. The storage bin can hold about three trays of ice, and the lid seems to help prevent the ice from gathering any food smells from items in the fridge. It takes up about the same amount of space as the traditional old school ice cube trays but it is a bit taller. I can see that if you are not paying attention it would be easy to spill water out of the trays when you put it back in the freezer after filling them, so you need to make sure that you keep it very level when you carry it. Overall I am happy with the (double) purchase of the item and find it quite easy to use.

Pros: I like that they all stack together so that they take up less space in the freezer and that it comes with a bucket and a scoop Cons: I find it almost impossible to push them out with my hands. My solution: 1) Turn the tray upside down over the bucket, put the lid on top, put a towel over the lid and put on the floor 2) put your foot on towel (towel keeps your foot from sliding off and keeps it clean) grab ahold of the counter to steady yourself and stand on the tray while bouncing up and down. 3) Before you turn remove the lid and change trays, move it over the sink, as little ice chips will fall out and get all over your floor if you don't. Yes, this is a bit of a hassle, but it makes them usable.

Les bacs à glaçons ont un rebord qui empêche l'eau de couler à côté lors du remplissage. Ils sont super facile à démouler grâce au système de couvercle par pression. Petit plus, on peu les empiler pour gagner de la place au congélateur.

Muy bien el producto. Facil usar.

Buon prodotto funziona bene come descritto

Grande contenance, facile a utiliser (sauf quand on déborde en mettant l'eau..) Permet d'avoir toujours des glaçons fait, ce qui avec les canicules de 2026 est fortement apprécié!

This 3 layer ice cube tray set is a very compact and stylish design. The soft bases in the cube molds make cube extraction simple and fast using the extractor plate that has small prongs designed to help press out the cubes from the flexible base of the molds. Having three stacked layer trays means that it fits within tighter spaces in the freezer. The storage tray mounted beneath the tray stack adds to the space efficiently. A small trowel to collect ice cubes is a convenient extra. The ice cubes are perhaps a little smaller than you might usually be accustomed to but I believe this not a disadvantage; you can use cubes sparingly or as multiples if required. I selected this item because of the need to store juice from a prolific fruit bearing lemon tree; too many to consume but worthy of juicing for later use. A good overall. choice
