Ice Cube Tray with Lid - NO SPILL Innovative Patented Ice Tray for Freezer - NO TOUCH Silicone Ice Cube Tray for Freezer - This Ice Maker Makes 18 Cubes/Serv and 54/Day - Ice Cube Mold by ICEBREAKER

I'm giving this FIVE STARS, despite some concerns. Why? Because regardless of my issues, this product does exactly what it claims to do, and it does it well! At least, so far. I've been using two of these for about a week now. I make at least one set of ice each per day. That means, I've made roughly 14-18 sets of ice so far and neither of my units have given me any trouble. Where I think people are going wrong is, frankly, not following directions. (1) There's a "max fill" line for a reason; water expands when it freezes, therefore, if you put water above the fill line, you're asking for cracks, leaks, and other issues. I filled to the line and poured out into a measuring cup – it's just a hair over 1 cup's worth of water, for those curious. (2) To break the ice into cubes you absolutely must press down with the palm of both hands - like when performing CPR - right in the center, basically on the strap. I press twice, flip, press twice, flip, press twice, flip, press twice. I don't normally need to press more than that. Ensure you are only pressing in the center of each side, never on the edges, and press pretty firmly. (3) Before you pull apart on the straps, be sure to open the cap! If you don't open the cap, you're probably going to end up with cracks, seal breaks, or broken trays. The cap must be opened before you pull apart because otherwise the suction prevents the halves from separating and puts extra stress on the plastic. (4) If you follow these steps, you don't really have to pull that hard. Sure, pull firmly, but not hard. The ice literally just "pops" out as the halves separate. I have yet to have any issues. Based on some of the negative reviews and some of the photos here, I just don't believe those folks are following the instructions. Many descriptions of leaking and bulging is likely attributed to overfilling beyond the "max" line. Many cracks and breaks is likely from people pulling so hard without opening the end or from them pressing in places other than the dead center. If you do have a leak, just press firmly around all the edges as it is certainly possible that the trays are not sealed fully. There should be no gaps between the outside of the tray (with the handle) and the tray itself. So what are my issues with the Nordic Icebreaker Pop 2.0? For one, let's start with the instructions. I've included a photo showing the conflicting directions regarding cleaning. When you open the unit for the first time, there's an insert that says to disassemble for cleaning. So I did. Boy was it difficult!!! It just would not come apart!! So I checked the little instruction booklet for tips, and there the instructions say specifically NOT to disassemble the unit for cleaning. This explains why it was so difficult to open up and clean (and an even bigger nightmare to reattach). Luckily I was able to get it all snapped back into place and sealed and have not had any leaks, but this is a major issue and could be part of people's issues with leaking after cleaning them. Secondly, I do have concerns about the longevity of the product. With the constant freezing and pressing and pulling, etc., etc., etc., I do worry that mini stress fractures will eventually start to form. It's just a thought for now, though; I haven't owned it long enough to say for sure, but just the physics of it all says the screws, handle, and/or plastic will eventually fracture. If it takes 10 years to fracture, then no issue, I got my value out of it. If it does so in 12 months or less, however, well – this thing is ridiculously expensive. Very overpriced, if you ask me – even though I'm very happy with it so far, I got it at it's lowest price ever during a recent pre-holiday sale. Even that was a bit high, but no where near as high as it's usual price. The point is, if it doesn't last, there's better value elsewhere. If it does, then money well spent, I suppose. Finally, it's a little unclear the difference between the original Icebreaker Pop and the Icebreaker Pop 2.0. The manufacturer's website is all but useless and clearly hasn't been updated (not to mention the grammatical errors, but I assume because English may not be their first language). Neither of the Amazon listing, nor any of the packaging or marketing materials, make clear what the difference is either. I also take issue with the lack of color options. Why so limiting? I'd love to get the Coca-Cola one, not for the branding, but because red is my favorite color! However, it's unclear whether that is the 2.0 version or not. All that being said, I still am giving this five-stars! Despite my concerns, I'm still overjoyed with how it's performed so far and having such large ice cubes for my water all day is wonderful! "Pro" Tip" I use a Tovolo ice cream container (the oval shaped one, 1.5 or 2.5 qt) to store my ice in. It's keeps it fresh and from absorbing freezer odors and it doesn't take up much space in the freezer either. By the time that container has emptied, both my Icebreaker Pop 2.0 units have solidified and produced me 18 more cubes a piece!

So these are WILDLY expensive. Like, I can't fathom how much they are. But boy howdy if I don't love them. They keep the freezer burn out, they can lay or stand any which way, they're easy to fill. It's great. My only complaint (besides price) is it says they come apart for easy cleaning, but I can't for my soul figure it out, and just hurt my fingers trying. Doesn't matter. I cleaned them like I would a water bottle. If you can justify spending 20 bucks on a small ice tray (They are small, I'd want 3 or 4 personally, much ice as I use) then go for it. They're wonderful. Edit: A few small notes. First, make sure you have firmly pushed the sides back together before freezing. I'd you didn't fully pop it back in to place, when it's freezing it'll expand and you won't be able to break the solid block of ice up and will have to simply let it melt and start over. Also, I'm not sure why but I've had some leak issues from one unit. I can't seem to figure out if it's a defect or if it's just come apart a bit where it naturally separates and is leaking from that. It's irritating, but doesn't fully take away from anything. Also, know that it's no where near as simple and easy to get the cubes out as the video makes it look. Not to mention the loads of ice "crumbs." Not a deal breaker for me personally, but just feel like it's something some may wish to know. Edit: So one of the trays is definitely leaking from where it should not. I thought maybe I caused a leak trying to figure out how to open it, but the leak is from where the handle screws into the body. So it's a defect. It's not preventing it from working but I imagine it's going to shorten it's lifespan. Unfortunate. The other fine though. 6 months edit: despite the small defect causing minor leakage, all units still work great. I would highly recommend standing them upright over laying them down. When laying down they often leak from the top (I have a puddle of ice in my freezer) and I've found the ice breaks up MUCH easier from trays when they froze upright rather than sideways. Still highly recommend them.

I needed a tray that was compact and could fit in my almost-always-full-freezer and this certainly met those expectations. The plus was that I was able to make a small 1qt bag of ice in about a day (refilled and made ice 3x) The only con is that it is virtually impossible to see the fill line and the cubes are really small . The entire item is opaque! There is a marker for the fill line on the outside and where it meets on the inside. You can't see the water line from the outside and the hole is so small you can't really see if it's goes past the enclosure which stops right about how deep the lid goes in. (There is a connection inside from where the bottle meets the sides when collapsed) Overall, it is convenient for making ice and it worked really well standing up. I wish it made 24 ct or even 27 ct because the cubes are small. I didn't take it apart to clean. I just put soapy water inside and shook it very well and rinsed, so I can't comment on it if it leaks when taken apart and put back together. It is expensive for an ice tray but IMHO worth the price as a space saver. This tray is sturdy and built well. It took mashing it to loosen the ice cubes without discoloring or cracking. I will see if this hold up over time. Summer will be the real test as I will probably make about 4 bags to keep on hand. Will post an update review. UPDATE : 10/28/2022 Haven't had any issues with this ice tray maker. I have made a ton of ice all summer and tray is still holding up and hasn't cracked. I have no idea why so many purchasers are having bad experiences using this tray. I do still stress-DO NOT DISMANTLE EVER. I have never took it apart and only clean it with hot soapy water and several rinses. I also place container on a towel and let it sit for about 3 minutes after I take it out the freezer before crushing and removing ice. But I do that with regular ice trays as well so I always have all the cubes pop out and the tray not crack. I filled it up (I did figure out how to tell when it's full since there is no outside indicator of a fill line) and set it upright in my freezer to set. It has never leaked and it has no exterior integrity issues. I'm buying another one since it's $15 bucks now. I will update again in the near future to let you know how it holds up. I purchased the water version. I still stand by my first review. This is a well made ice tray.

I have a very hard time breaking the ice from the container and then using the handles attached to pop the sides out. It's a nice concept but not something I can use.

This is the best ice maker I found for my need! I don’t like using my fridge ice, even though I change the filter when it’s due, it still gets a weird smell from everything in the fridge. This gadget works great and takes up no space at all. It makes 1 batch that’s enough to fill my 24oz cup and keeps all the smell out. Will be getting another one in the future to rotate them!

Our family has tried several type of ice cube tray looking for that perfect tray, and finally, we settled on these. It has not been a perfect ride. It took a little while to figure how they could be easier to use. My wife and kids have had difficulty getting them open. After she broke the handle on two different trays, I watched how she opened them. She was not making sure the lid stayed clear from the opening. If the lid was just a little close, it would cause her great strain, and broken handles. I guarantee you, others here complaining about them breaking have done this. You must turn the lid 180° the other direction before trying to fully open the tray. Here's my process to fill them: 1. Fill the tray directly at the bottom of the top row of cubes. Ignore the fill line! Trust me, it makes all the difference. If you fill it past the point I recommend, the cubes are much more difficult to break up. Stand the tray on its end and fill it exactly between the 1st and 2nd row of cubes. 2. You don't have to wipe off the excess water before putting the tray in the refrigerator, but I don't like random ice bits all over the other items in the freezer. My process for retrieving ice: 1. Lay the tray flat on a hard surface and place the palm of your hand (or your elbow if you prefer) in the middle of the tray and give a quick, hard shove. You should start to hear the ice breaking up. 2. Flip the tray over and repeat step one, then flip and repeat one last time. No more crushing has ever been needed. 3. Pick up your ice tray and open the top. Spin the top 180°. Don't get lazy! Spin it 180° 4. Firmly slip 3 fingers from each hand through the ice tray grips on each side with the top on the other side of the ice tray, away from your body. This uses gravity to keep the top even less likely to accidentally fall back on the opening, creating suction as you're trying to spead the ice tray. The top falling back on the opening while spreading the tray is what breaks the handles. 5. Now that the tray is spread apart, close the top, shake vigorously while putting your other hand over the top (sometimes the top will accidentally open while shaking the tray and start throwing ice all over your kitchen). This might seem like a pita, but it's not once you do it a couple times. We have 8 of these for over a year. Once everyone in the family started using these instructions, the handles stopped breaking. It has been well over a year now. These trays went from a 3 star to a solid 5 star once I figured out these little changes. They are the best ones I've ever used. Best of luck.

These are pretty cool. They don’t take up much space and act as both an ice tray and a container to store the ice. The ice cubes are smaller in size and square shaped. One tray basically fills one entire 16 oz glass with ice top to bottom. One trick I learned, each container can hold two trays worth of ice when the sides are pulled out. So if you want to stock pile extra ice leave them expanded and use one tray to fill the other containers with double ice. Breaking up the ice up and pulling the sides out is a little physical so keep that in mind. I really like them for the space savings and function. I love multi functional stuff like this.

The icebreaker Clear Pop 2023 is a convenient and spill proof icemaker that's much easier to use than regular trays. It freezes water cleanly, and the "pop" feature makes releasing the ice simple. The cubes are a bit small, but the design is space-saving and very hygienic. Overall, it's a handy everyday ice tray if you want something cleaner and easier than traditional ones.

Quality and appearance are poor. Price is very high

Das Produkt wurde schnell geliefert und war gut verpackt. Es erfüllt ganz seinen Zweck. Manchmal ist es schwierig das Teil auseinander zu ziehen wenn gefrorene Eiswürfel drin sind. Aber mit ganz viel Kraft funktioniert es. Guter und preiswerter Ersatz gegenüber einer eiswürfelmaschiene. Kleiner Manko es könnte größer sein das mehr Eiswürfel hergestellt werden können.

Ho avuto modo di provare la vaschetta per ghiaccio Icebreaker Pop e devo dire che ne sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. Si tratta di un contenitore porta ghiaccio innovativo che presenta numerose caratteristiche interessanti. Innanzitutto, il design della vaschetta è molto moderno e accattivante. Le dimensioni contenute consentono di posizionarla facilmente nel congelatore senza che occupi troppo spazio. Inoltre, la forma allungata e snella rende il prodotto facile da maneggiare e da usare. La cosa che più mi ha colpito della vaschetta Icebreaker Pop è la possibilità di estrarre i cubetti di ghiaccio singolarmente, senza doverli frantumare con la forza come accade con le classiche vaschette rigide. Questo è possibile grazie ad un meccanismo innovativo presente nella vaschetta, che consente di far uscire i cubetti di ghiaccio uno alla volta, semplicemente premendo leggermente sul fondo. Altro aspetto interessante della vaschetta Icebreaker Pop è la presenza del coperchio, che impedisce al ghiaccio di assorbire gli odori presenti nel congelatore. Inoltre, il coperchio consente di impilare più vaschette una sopra l'altra, occupando così meno spazio nel congelatore. Infine, la vaschetta è realizzata in materiale resistente e di alta qualità, che la rende molto durevole e facile da pulire. In conclusione, se stai cercando una vaschetta per ghiaccio innovativa e di qualità, la Icebreaker Pop è sicuramente un'ottima scelta. La possibilità di estrarre i cubetti di ghiaccio singolarmente e la presenza del coperchio la rendono un prodotto estremamente pratico e funzionale.

I like it. After just a few refills the side has split open so the water spills out. Pushed it back together and seems to be holding.

I have had this product for just under two months. It was brilliant at first, so many beautiful ice cubes! If you followed the instructions they weren’t hard to free up, it was getting them out through the hole that was fidgety, but that was only a mild inconvenience. I soon figured out that if you run it under cold water for a moment (Often you can hear the ice begin to crack then) on each side before pressing on it it helps loosen things up. I’d bring this up to my boiling loft room having used half of the ice and stored this in my mini fridge so I wouldn’t have to go all the way down for ice. It kept the ice fairly well, but I don’t know how it would fair on a picnic or if you’re out somewhere hot without a mini fridge or cooler. I previously had given this a lower rating because it came apart. Turns out I was just dumb. Obviously these are, as advertised, able to be broken down for cleaning. When you put them together again, make sure you're trying to attach the sides the correct way up.
