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

These are amazing! I'd like to see the negative reviewers remove ice from the old metal ice trays with the lever. Hahaha these are a piece of cake compared to old ice cube trays! Will definitely purchase more! I love the size of the little cubes! They seal so your ice doesn't taste or smell bad. Stackable I have no clue why? You fill to the line and then slowly insert middle. Filling is easy. If you over fill the 2 holes in the top let the water out. Don't overfill does nothing but make it take longer for ice and harder to remove. I love the shape and size. Lid? Durable I would say so I filled and froze night before trip to the beach 2.5 hours in a cooler with other types of ice and food and it stayed frozen. Removal.... I see alot of complaints about this part of the process. If you read the directions and got ice so far then keep following them. I rinse the entire thing. Fill middle while rinsing the second one. Then try and remove inner part. If it doesn't come out I fill it again while trying the 2nd one. If it takes a few more seconds rinsing with warm water they do come out. Forcing it out like one video shows is just showing you don't read instructions and follow them. Its not rocket science its just nature. If it doesn't come out easily rinse for 10-30 seconds longer. I let the warm water sit in the middle for a few more seconds. They do come out and these are great for travel. I'm buying 2 more for when I travel with more than a couple friends. Even with the less than stellar reviews I've always loved this brand so I gave them a try and I love them!

They are extremely convenient and they fit perfectly in my freezer. They could leak if they aren’t upright so if you put them upright, they’ll be fine. I’ve used them for around two weeks and they are still durable. The size of them make the perfect amount of ice!

Love these Tovolo ice cylinders because you can fit them nearly anywhere and take them with you, if needed. My ice machine made too much noise, took up too much space, and is useless in winter so turned it off, removed the bin, and looked for an alternative that didn't necessarily need a flat space -- these are perfect. Works as indicated with no issues. No pooling at bottom, easy release, cute little cubes pour out. I also freeze my glasses in summertime to add frostiness. I have other Tovolo products that are amazing so felt confident to buy during a limited-time discount period.

I like the Tovolo ice cylinders worked just like it says. Easy breezy

These were a cheap stocking stuffer idea for my girlfriend, and she really enjoyed using them for a few weeks. They were easy to fill to the marked line, and the lid pushed any extra water out through the weep hole, which made the process simple and mess-free. They also froze pretty quickly, usually in about an hour and a half. Getting the ice out was easy as well. After removing the lid, you just roll the mold, and it releases perfect little nugget-style ice cubes. The only issue we had was that the molds eventually started to smell like the freezer, and it became pretty hard to ignore. Ultimately, we used these to confirm that nugget ice really is superior, and we ended up buying a countertop nugget ice maker. Overall, they were a fun and inexpensive way to try nugget-style ice, but they were more of a short-term solution for us.

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.

Love this! I used mine to freeze coffee for my iced coffee. Worked great! Doesn’t take up a lot of space. Super easy to fill and get the mini ice out. Seems pretty durable and easy to clean!

I picked up the 2 pack of the mini ice cylinder. Easy to use and great for personal use. Just fill the silicone container up to the fill line and secure the lid on top. Give it a good squeeze, place them in your freezer and in a few hours all you have to do is remove the lid and squeeze all the ice out of the silicone cup.

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.

too hard to figure out how to make it work

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.

Really good solid icecube mould. Easy to use and really nice compared to the usual large cubes. Very satisfying to squeeze out the ice cubes out of silicone mould.

Wowww estoy impresionada con este producto los hielos son super faciles de usar y sacar y sale una buena cantidad (para un vaso) o si no te gusta taaan frio para 2, tiene sentido que el precio sea mayor que el resto de este tipo de productos en internet, la calidad es muy notoria
