BERLINZOClear Ice Ball Maker Mold - 2 Large 2.4-inch Crystal Clear Ice Balls for Whiskey Cocktail - New Easy-to-Remove Ice Sphere Mold, 2 Round Ice Spheres

Easy to use, ice comes out clear. Bottom cubes are to throw out as they have all the impurities in them. They freeze clear and melt slow so my drink doesn’t get watered down but stays ice cold.

Bought this as a gift. It actually works! The ice cubes come out completely clear. I didn't read the details completely so this is on me, but from the picture I couldn't tell that the outside was bare styrofoam. For the price I guess I expected a hard plastic protective outer shell of some kind, and was a little disappointed to discover it was just styrofoam. There may be a reason for this but either way it's just more fragile than I originally thought. Thought about subtracting a star but the product works as intended. Just be careful not to accidentally destroy the styrofoam shell; I think it'll render the product useless at that point. The styrofoam is dense so that helps a little.

This works as far a as making clear ice in the molds but…The inserts for the cubes that allows “cheers” or “delight” to be imprinted into the cubes stick out so you don’t get the full word.No big deal really.The big issue is that the overall container is bare styrofoam. This concerns me as to how long it will actually last.The kit I bought that makes ice skulls is encased in plastic thereby protecting the styrofoam.A little side note: the ice in the bottom, below the intended cubes and balls while not clear, are a nice byproduct. I can put one in my Rtic tumbler and it lasts for most of the day here in Arizona where it’s still topping out at over 100 degrees during this first week of October.

expensive but worth it. Ice is crystal clear. Hard to operate for elderly with arthritis

To put it simply - this cooler mold setup works. See pictures.

I like having one clear ice sphere in my cocktails but the mold I had only produced cloudy ones. For me, it wasn’t aesthetically appealing so I did my research and learned there was a process for making the type of sphere I wanted. The main reason I chose this particular product was because it provided a way to make spheres and cubes! This product makes two of each but it takes 24 hours. No big deal, I make them then fill freezer bags with them. Follow the directions to the letter and you won’t go wrong.

It took me a couple of attempts but I did get some very clear ice. My cubes have cracks but that was because I put water on them to see how clear they were. My pictures don't do it justice but you can tell the different in the taste of the ice too.I used hot water from my faucet. After you make your first batch, clear out the bottom frozen ice and start process over again.The covers for the cube ice isn’t great and my freezer in the garage is slight in even so frost formed.

This is a Great Cube makerMakes a drink so much more enjoyable
