Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For those desiring to use this tray for actual ice, take a moment to peruse the previous reviews and note that half the folks are utilizing the tray for garlic or herb prep/freezing. For this purpose it appears to succeed quite well. But as a gal whose ice maker recently went bust, but who failed to read the reviews, this tray is a giant miss. First, it's cute--should the appearance of your freezer accessories be a make it or break it deal. Probably not. But it's worth noting because when I received the tray I actually let out a wee girly squeal. I love ice, I eat ice like it's a required food group, and I go through a LOT of it. Just ask my dentist. So the first strike goes against me as I didn't pay close enough attention to the dimensions. It's tiny!! It makes enough ice for 2 regular drinks....1 drink if you're greedy OR pouring a warm beverage. This teeny ice cannot withstand your freshly brewed tea, just sayin'. Melt city. I have fully embraced the silicone trend in kitchen ware so I was expecting the same brilliant function from this hex tray. Alas, the ice is just waaay too difficult to remove. I don't feel like having a big debate or holding my tongue just right to deliver ice from a tray to my glass. Nope. So because there's so little of it, because it's hard to pop out, and because my old hard plastic trays are, I begrudgingly admit, far superior in every way, it's with a heavy heart that I recommend skipping this. It's too pricy for what your getting (and will make your rectangle cubes feel so square), and though I appreciate it's dishwasher safe, even the 'wait 90 seconds' rule after removing from the freezer doesn't help out the Hex. I also purchased some new standard size Rubbermaid trays, sold here on Amazon, and for an equally frozen water based product with less hassle for removal, they blow this guy outta the water. Sure, it's boring old hard white plastic. But it works. This tray is only for super hard core fans of 6 sided things. Tho personally feel it fails even for novelty purposes. But if you have patience, only need teeny ice a few times a week, and like to keep a hipster freezer compartment, by all means. Oh, and apologies for the geometry humor.
