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!

Love this! its so perfect for my tiny freezer and it does hold a surprising amount of ice cubes in there (i can prob fit 2.5 trays worth of ice in the container). I have the 2 tier and I can get by with 3-4 iced drinks in the week before needing to make more ice. Some reviews and the product description itself are saying to let the trays thaw out for a couple minutes before punching out the ice, but I DON'T recommend this! It actually makes the ice prone to sticking to each other once you put it back in the freezer because they're basically wet again. It really does not take a lot of effort or muscle to punch them thru while its freshly frozen. I love that it has a lid to keep the ice odor-free and tasting clean! The size of the ice is small, but it doesn't bother me and gets the job done.

I purchased this ice cube tray with lid and bin set on Valentine's Day, and thanks to excellent timing, it arrived at my front door yesterday... President's Day! I started the preparation process at 2:34 in the afternoon. When I opened the box, which was cold to the touch as it was waiting for me on my front porch in chilly Eugene weather, I found two really cool ice cube trays, a wonderful little ice bucket, a great and magnificent ice scoop (which kind of reminds me of one of those little shovel-style scoops you'd find in bulk bins), and a cover that works like magic! I started by cleaning all the components with warm soapy water in a dishpan, which took little more than a half an hour! While I was preparing my supper, I put all the components in the dish drainer to dry off completely. About an hour later, I put the components in my freezer on the top shelf, so they would reach optimal chilled temperature for the moment I've been waiting for. After supper, I took my 2-cup measuring cup, brought the ice trays over to the sink, and slowly poured fresh water from my refrigerated Brita filtered water pitcher into the trays. then I put the cover on, and carried the trays one at a time to the top shelf of my freezer, where I scoped out a nice space for everything. The first tray left a teensy weensy puddle on the floor, probably because I didn't have the cover on tight enough. And perhaps because I filled it up to the top! But that's OK! Those who say "don't overfill" are simply full of baloney! Filling to the top is the best way to have ice cubes full of maaaaaaaaa-gic! The second tray's freezer trip was successful without a single puddle! By 9:00 PM, they were on the way to making magical ice cubes, undisturbed! Fast forward 8 hours later, I woke up this morning at 5:23 AM (my usual wake-up time), and when I checked on the ice cubes, the first tray had nice ice cubes on one side, but a solid sheet of ice on the other side. Possibly because I used the majority of 2 cups of water to fill them, which may have led to that uh-oh puddle. Meanwhile, the second tray had ice cubes on one side, but empty homes on the other side. Simply because I didn't have enough water to fill them all! Fast Forward to 2/17/2026 at 2:49 in the afternoon. My provider witnessed the moment of magic, when I pulled the trays straight from the freezer (I didn't need to let them sit at room temperature), pressed down gently on the top and... pop pop pop! The ice cubes came out 100% clean, with no leftovers sitting in the trays, and best of all? Nothing got broken! It's a touchdown! I give this Phinox Ice Cube Tray a solid 5 stars! It's a manual ice machine, full of magic! Update: for the last two days, I've had more success with magical ice cubes, and no more "uh-oh" puddles on the floor! Wanna know the secret? What I do is put a large, wide plastic bucket underneath each ice tray when carrying them, cover on ice tray, with the tray in the center of the bucket, to the freezer. So that whatever "uh-oh" puddles may happen, they go into the bucket instead of all over the floor!

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.

As someone raised in a hot climate, I developed the love of ice cubes at a young age. lol I love the simple joy of a glass of iced tea, iced water, or iced soda at home. (For those who get me, you know what I’m talking about.) But since we live in a home that was built in the 1950s, getting ice cubes at home has not come as easily. I have tried an embarrassing amount of ice cube trays, for cubes of all sizes, and none of them have worked well for me, an ice cube “connoisseur.” Size and shape of ice cubes do matter. I’ve purchased the singular, large balls for alcoholic drinks, the half-inch cute balls for sodas and such, the square cube trays that are silicone, square cube trays that are plastic, and square cube trays that are stainless steel. And now…this set, which is a combination of plastic and silicone. And yes, it is the correct combination! The plastic provides structure and support where you need it (the 100% silicone trays usually droop once they are filled with water, which leads to spills and difficulty carrying across the kitchen). So, enter this ice cube tray… I bought the 1-inch cube size. The top rim of the tray is plastic, which prevents the tray from dripping when you fill it with water. The bin and lid are plastic too. At first, I was thinking I didn’t really need the bin, but let me tell you, what a great idea. Helps you rotate cubes so some are usable while others are still in the process of freezing. This allows a constant rotation of ice cubes. If you can’t tell from the photos, the underside of the lid has plastic pointy thingamajigs that allow you to flip the ice cube tray upside down on top of the bin and then push them all out with one press on the lid. Literally one second to get them all out. Adorable shaped cubes that are easy to release, and the tray is easy to fill. What more could you ask for in a tray? Note: if you do ever have slight difficulty getting the cubes out, you can let them sit on the counter for just a few minutes and then try again. (This can happen if you overfill the tray, so don’t fill it all the way to the rim.)

Pretty disappointing. the best feature of this product are the big Amazon ads-which make this look spectacular, which it isn't. 1) This is made with hard/brittle plastic, I don't see it lasting very long. 2) pay attention to the dimensions advertised-this is tiny, good for a small camper frig or similar, but as a main source of ice, forget it. 3) it takes forever to freeze even one tray-in 24 hours in my very cold freezer, there were still half-dozen cubes that were liquid, so I guess the plastic makes a good insulator. 4) I hate deceptive ads, which purposely try to make this bigger, more substantial than it is. It feels more like the little toy kitchen appliances made for children. so this is the new normal-downsize-quality-quantity-durability. But up the pictures, the pictures look nice. Seems the majority of these "new" style ice cube trays have one thing in common-cheapness-even the metal ones look nothing like what I had in the past. Look like one move of the handle, and it will fold in half like a cheap deck of cards. Please, doesn't anybody make good solid quality ice cube trays anymore? Even the so-called "restaurant grade" look like throwaways from a cheap garage sale-and can cost ridiculous money. Definitely would not buy these again-and almost any other ice cube trays I've seen on Amazon or elsewhere, what a shame. Upped to 3 stars-at least it does make ice cubes.

Definitely happy with the compact size for our limited freezer space but still allowing us to have a bunch of ice. Very simple and fun to use. The trays fit perfectly upside down on the container, so after twisting the tray, the silicone bottom allows me to see which ones didn't fall out on their own, so with minimal touch, the others fall out. It is so sealed, that even after a week the ice in the bottom and in the trays were not freezer burnt at all, no fuzz!!! Everything in my freezer gets "fuzz", but not my ice! Totally recommend!

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.

Ottimo, lo consiglio assolutamente.

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!
