We don't buy bagged ice anymore

I love this ice ball maker, the balls are fun to have in our drinks. I followed the clear directions and have been successful every time. But I have found if I put the FIBM out on the counter for about 5 minutes the balls come out even easier. You do not have to be gentle with the silicone rubber when ejecting the balls. I have also found that my water (in Hawaii) is just as clear and tastes even better than using distilled water. If you live somewhere like Southern California where the water is full of minerals you would definitely want to use the distilled water. We also like that the balls of ice don't slosh to the front of the glass while your trying to take a drink and you end up with drink all over your shirt. Because the balls melt more slowly you can use less ice and even add it to beer to get a really cold drink.

Worth the buy.

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He always complained about how standard ice cubes melted too fast and diluted the taste of his beverage. When these arrived, he was so excited. They come in a black, silicone mold that can hold four ice balls (as pictured). The ice balls melt much slower than standard ice cubes. They are very "pretty," showing very little breakage, cracks, fractures, etc.The silicone mold fits nicely in any standard freezer, taking up very little space. This is now the only form of ice we use for our beverages. I would definitely recommended buying this product.

My picky Dad loves this better than the "Whiskey Stones"

I had originally ordered "Whisky Stones" as a christmas gift for my dad thinking it was such a cool concept and they'd be perfect in his Jim beam. Well, apparently that man is VERY particular about his Jim Beam. Unfortunately, I learned all this on Christmas Eve. He must have "4 cubes of ice with the beam just slightly covering it." I made him his drink and after seeing how particular he was about his Beam, I decided to I ask if he ever heard of whisky stones before. His reply was "oh yea I hate them! They don't get cold enough and I like how the ice melts a little in my Beam. Those stones don't melt and are useless!" So on christmas day, I reluctantly gave him the wrapped whiskey stones I now knew he hated. I immediately apologized before he even opened it and told him I'd send them back. He laughed when he opened it, felt bad and said he'd keep them but I knew it was just out of sympathy so I ended up sending them back. That's when I came across the Froz Ice Ball Maker. Wasn't sure if my dad would like it given how picky he is, but I know I loved the idea! So I thought, if he doesn't like it, then I'll just keep it for myself! Well, I was so disappointed when he called me cause now I have to buy another one for myself! He told me absolutely loves it! He said it's perfect cause it keeps his drink super cold and doesn't melt so fast that he needs to keep getting more ice cubes when he refills. Very happy with this product :)

Go for it - Fun Drink Novelty

Wash casing thoroughly with warm water and soap before using, as the directions indicate - if you skip this you'll get a white-ish film at the top of your drink. I saw most ratings on Amazon complained about this, and as it turns out those folks didn't wash before use or read the directions. The ice balls do hold up for a long time in your drink. For the clearest ice balls, I used RO/DI water, but you can also just use readily available distilled water. The directions state to boil or heat the water before making the ice with it (I think, I last read them a while ago so don't quote me on that here), and I think the point of boiling the water is to remove any gasses that might be dissolved in the water. Any gases dissolved in liquid water will lead to cloudy ice, because water freezes from the outside in, trapping gasses at the center of the cube. Okay, enough science. If you are having a party and want to impress, preparing these ahead of time (store them in the freezer) and your guests will surely be talking. For me, the ice balls have always kept their shape after freezing, but it does take practice to learn how much to fill each one so it comes out a perfect sphere, and not something that looks like a round Christmas tree ornament. The rubber casing is also very durable, and getting the ice balls out of the rubber casing after freezing isn't that hard. Actually, if you don't use distilled water and you use tap water instead, the dissolved gas bubbles from the tap water that accumulate at the center of the frozen ice cube leave the ice ball vulnerable to cracking in half as you try to get it out because sometimes you do have to press hard. For that reason, I do not recommend using regular tap water with these. The learning curve is the fun part of it though. They are fun, they will both cool down and spice up any drink they get dunked in, I say give them a try.

Love it. It's durable and just what I need.

I originally bought this ice tray to put inside my glass of whiskey and it's phenomenal at doing the job. I also sometimes put it inside of a bowl of hot soup to cool it down, but that's another story. Filling it up is a bit tricky, but for the most part it's pretty easy. You close the two molded parts into each other, and then with a small stream you fill up the tray through the top holes, doesn't matter which one you use. In case the water goes out the sides, just hold the device shut, you can have a little water spill over the top. Extracting your ice spheres: Be aware that this tray is pretty durable, you can pull stretch and twist it pretty hard and not have to worry about it breaking. So when you're trying to get to your nice ice spheres don't be afraid to rip the that sucker apart, because it get's a bit sticky, just don't pull at it so hard it flies at your roommate. That might end up being bad ... and painful. All in all, this a great tray for large ice spheres if you're ever in the market for them—also note they are "about" as large as a medium male hand making an "O" shape. Hope this helps.

Fun and Easy-to-Use Novelty Ice Mold

The little holes in the top of each mold are for overflow. Fortunately, they're not fill holes. Instead, you fill the bottom half of the mold to (slightly below) the fill line and press the top mold into it, which forces the water into the spheres. The "tray" area in the top of the mold is very useful for catching the inevitable overflow when you press it down into the bottom part of the mold. (Plus, although the resulting ice from the overflow may not be as attractive as the spheres, it's still ice.) Please note that you need to kind of "lock" the two halves of the mold together when you press down the top one. I use my finger to sort of "click" each edge into the bottom half. You want that tight seal so that it forms a true sphere. In my freezer, it takes about four hours for the ice spheres to set. YMMV. I like the included instruction sheet. It's humorous and actually helpful--without them telling me to really twist the mold, I might've been too cautious with it when removing the ice. You have to twist it back and forth to separate the spheres and break off any edges there might be. It's worth cleaning the mold after each use because it helps prevent it from sticking (even though "sticking" is probably overstating it). Without cleaning, it's just a bit more difficult to peel the upper mold off the ice. No big deal.

My bad. That said

Full disclosure, I thought I was buying the same "rounder" molds I had seen used in my local bar. It would seem that those are 2.5" molds rather than the 2" molds in this product. My bad. That said, the 2" balls still work great and look cool (all important). There is a mild art form involved in getting the end-product "just right", but it is nothing terribly difficult. The instructions are very clear and the actual mold is a fairly sturdy piece of silicon, so I expect it to wear nicely. Best of all, I can't really see any reason that a more expensive option would perform any differently than this product. I'm quite happy with it and just wish my kids would stop stealing the rounders for their drinks because they are "cool".

They make decent ice balls that are fun to use

They make decent ice balls that are fun to use. However, if you are a perfectionist and want perfectly round, clear ice spheres, you will be somewhat disappointed. At least one of the four balls has a bulge in it because water gets between the flat sections and expands when it freezes causing a distortion in a ball or two. However, I've discovered that if you also add water to the inside top of the mold about 1/2 to 3/4 around the outside of the ball, it adds some stability to the mold when it freezes and helps reduce bulging. I also fill it with hot water which freezes slower and produces a little clearer ball. Perfectly clear ice balls are nearly impossible to make but once the ice is in the glass, the ball roundness and clarity don't seem to be as noticeable. These molds are still fun and are a good value for the money. UPDATE: I'VE DISCOVERED THAT IF I ONLY FILL THE CAVITY ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY, LET IT FREEZE, AND THEN FILL IT THE REST OF THE WAY THAT THE ICE BALLS WILL TURN OUT NICE AND ROUND. THERE IS NO NEED TO ADD WATER TO THE INSIDE TOP OF THE MOLD BECAUSE THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE BALL TO EXPAND WHEN IT FREEZES. I'M NOW GIVING IT A FULL 5 STARS.

Love these! Read the INSTRUCTIONS & you won't have a problem!

Very 'COOL'! Read the Reviews on every brand and chose these (bought 2 sets)..so happy I did! I received them yesterday, washed them, READ the INSTRUCTIONS and this morning, popped them out of the mold and VOILA! Perfectly round ice spheres! Today I'm going to add lemon & lime zest to some. Someone wrote they freeze Chardonnay and use them in their wine glass to keep their wine from diluting..in theory it's a fantastic idea..reality is that wine doesn't freeze. The cork may if you put a bottle in the fridge, but wine alone...nu uh! Alcohol doesn't freeze. I read some reviews where people had a lot of issues. All I can say is if you read the instructions, you shouldn't have ANY issues making perfectly round spheres. I nailed it on my first try. Just remember, liquid expands when it freezes so you don't have to fill it to the top once the lid is on. When it's time to remove them, place your hands on each side of the tray and twist the tray using wrist action (not twisting as you would a lid off a jar but as if you had a stick in each hand and were banging something right left right left). You won't break the mold because it's silicone. And again, if you read the instructions, you won't have any problems.

Nice, sturdy mold for ice balls

We ordered this ice ball mold in February 2016 because our dog LOVES to chew on ice. He's a mini American Eskimo mix and gets VERY WARM. Our daugther plays competitive soccer, so in the summer we will be outside in the heat, tons. We can freeze these over night and have them for the games the next day. We give them to him now as 'treats' and he goes NUTS for them! They're about 2" x 2" fully frozen. It takes a few times to get the hang of filling the mold to make them 'perfect' balls. There's a small hole in the top of each cavity. Fill it up as far as you can, then move the mold to the freezer. Make sure it's flat in the freezer. Use a measuring cup with a pointed spout, add extra water through the hole in each cavity. There will be some excess water on the top around the outside mold, but once it's frozen it will break off easily.
