PHINOX Ice Cube Tray with Lid and Bin, Easy Release 56 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!

I just received this teay yesterday, so this is just part 1 of 2 of my review. Will post a part 2 when fully used. Upon unwrapping, there was a definite chemical smell in the actual ice trays. I was expecting something similar since it's made of plastic and silicone, I believe. It's NOT dishwasher safe, as mentioned on product page. You will want to pre-wash it, or sure the ice will have an awful taste I pre-washed it by hand, using a brush from a set of dish washing/bottle cleaning brushes I have. The one that is a size larger than a straw cleaning lĺbrush was EXACTLY the right size for cleaning inside the ice cube areas of the trays. I got lucky! I have no idea how someone would clean these out without one of those brushes. I would suggest this company add a cleaning brush to the product set. One thing I want to point out for others who may not notice this. I read the title on this item and it said "..64 pcs ice trays for freezers...". Then I saw on the image that the storage bin can hold nearly 120 cubes. But when I got it I realized that the bin could prob hold 4 of the trays worth of ice, not 2. So I was confused about that! I counted and there are actually 32 pieces of ice PER TRAY. I bought the item that has 2 of the trays with it= 64 pieces of ice at once. I looked again and saw that on (I think it was) the 3rd picture in, it says at the bottom of the picture what the storage capacity is, then below that it's says "2 trays can make 64 cubes at one time". Point here is that I thought each trayade 64 pcs. because of the title of the item. But each makes 32! I usually noticed everything before buying but this time I must have skipped seeing that 3rd photo. I used a lot of words to say this: Essentially, yhe actual product makes ice that is twice the size I thought, but it's still smaller than standard trays. The size is very nice!!! Smaller pieces are much more versatile! AND that the ice bin actually holds about 4 trays worth, which is twice what I was expecting. Much better!!! Lol. As for filling the trays with water, that was a little more difficult than a standard tray, due to the size and caution I took to not overfill, and to attempt to keep the pieces around the same size. Usually I tip a tray while filling and it levels itself out. This one didn't do that. It became very uneven when I tried it. I put my faucet running very low, then held the tray and slowly moved from one space to another until they were filled. Stacking the trays on the bin, and adding the lid, was a bit shaky. It takes a tiny bit of care and effort to make sure they are on in exactly the correct spot, otherwise they will obviously tilt and could possibly spill a bit. Would probably just get uneven ice that wouldn't pop out as easily though. I can stack these without an issue, but my husband isn't as good with things like this. He has a tough time, for ex, with storage container lids that have sides with clips that lock downward over the edges. This has a similar feel when stacking, even though you don't lock anything on these. Someone didn't close the freezer all the way, and it got in the way of the ice being totally frozen. That's why I can't finish my review just yet. Will come back for part 2 soon! Part 2: After frozen, I followed the simple steps to empty ice trays into the bin. Very easy to do, they all came out fast and without need for a lot of pressure on the lid, which I appreciated. Overall opinion on this ice tray set is that it's wonderful! Totally worth getting! For me, much nicer than having gotten standard trays and an ice bin. I like the smaller cubes, and the overall footprint in the freezer. Allows for plenty of ice while leaving room for the frozen food I keep for my family of 5! Highly recommend!!!

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.

I'm glad I ordered 3 trays and not 1 or 2. Cubes are small but right size for drinks and water bottles or containers. Some times the cubes fall right out, sometimes you need a strong vice grip to pop them out, don't know why. I'd like to order 3 more trays, they stack really well.

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.

Works as described. Loving the perfectly shaped little ice cubes. I have a smallish freezer so I am happy that this does not take up much space but gives a full bin of ice. Haven’t had any trouble with spills. The trays stack perfectly. The lid fits fine. Haven’t had any issues with odour. The very first time I used it there was a white-ish film on the ice cubes even though I washed the trays and ice bin before using. I ditched them, rewashed and redid the ice. No trace of white and no funny taste.

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!
