He missed the point on the honeycomb one. Most people don't take the ice cubes out all at once, they individually take one out for a drink and this is perfect for that because you individually push the base out of each one while the others stay inside.

[@capncrunchgaming5613]

I usually just run some warm water on the bottom of the silicone ones to loosen all of them at once and it works pretty well

[@MrPupps903]

Exactly what I was thinking when he demonstrated it, I usually use maximum 2 ice cubes per glass ^^

[@gabrielgarcia1641]

Also the small size is good for not taking up space in the freezer. Not everyone has massive freezers to fit 17,000 ice cubes.

[@starrysock]

but... you can easily take just one icecube out of the others too? Just hold them right side up when you crack them so they don't fall out. Icecubes stay in place and you're free to just pick them up with your hands, or if you really need to, dump all at once. Never heard of a person who struggled with taking one icecube out of a normal tray The hexagon one isn't perfect either. A bunch still fell out when he turned it over so it's not like you can just hold it upsidedown and push them out one by one, because they're probably going to spill

[@keeganspring]

Don't you empty into the ice container and refill the ice tray so you don't run out?

The hexagonal prism tray was hard to get the ice out of because it was rubber. All rubber ice trays are like that. Plus, who ever needs all the ice at the same time? It's more convenient to be able to remove one ice at a time than have all the ice fall out when you're trying to get a few pieces for a water bottle.

Nice review, just about icecube trays, but they are a thing so it had to be done :-) About OXO, I work in the medical field and they design their gears for people with disabilities or lower stress on hands and joins.

I love their product because of their mindset all about ease of use and confort. Check out the salad spinner!!!

The honeycomb would actually be nice cause you do not normally take all the ice cubes out at once. If you only need a couple for your glass then you poke them out real quick and do not need to worry about all the others falling out or making a mess.

[@Roonasaur]

I bought a pair of silicone ice trays not long ago . . . the thing doesn't have a raised lip around the outside, so I'm always spilling when filling. And the ice chambers are using a common wall, so there's not nearly as much play to twist the thing and get them to pop out as you would think with silicone. Furthermore, the water would expand irregularly into the flexible walls, meaning that the cubes would bulge into the neighboring pockets and make removal difficult. Each cube fit into the next like a key into a lock. And - as if that weren't enough - with no void space between cubes, just the one silicone wall, there wasn't enough play in the tray to get air in behind the cubes, so they got held in by suction. I literally had to push and pull each cube out individually. I went back to my cracked, leaking dollar store tray after just one batch. :/

13:50 ... To be fair not every one wants all the ice out at one time, some people like to use a few cubes at a time and leave the rest in the tray and just have two trays, one for use and one for freezing while the other gets low, Silicon molds are great for that purpose since you can easily control how many you get out at a time and don't accidentally dump the entire thing onto your counter when all you wanted was 4 cubes for your drink. Between all the ones in that video if I didn't have an ice maker in my fridge I would have 2-3 of the dollar store ones and 1-2 of a silicon mold one, the 2-3 cheap ones for when I have people over and need more ice at once, then the 1-2 silicon mold ones for normal use for just myself when I want a few cubes and not a full tray. I have a pumpkin and skull shaped ice trays that are silicon that both make small cubes that work perfect, I think my sister got them from a dollar store during a Halloween.

The silicone trays like the hexagon shaped one would empty easier if they didn't make the walls of the individual ice cube area 90 degrees. Have them angled to a little more of a "V" shape and it would help a lot. Just like the OXO and dollar store models. More angle = easier to get the cubes out of the tray.

[@fusionchef1]

[@2lmdi]

I'm 75 and in shock that the metal on with handle is $30... OMG.. these were standard in my day and so inexpensive as to be insignificant... probably the cheapest thing in the kitchen next to metal manual can opener which are just used for camping and outrageously priced also. I guess the advent of plastic made everything metal more expensive today. But "more" shouldn't mean ridiculous. And let's talk cheap: Save a potato salad or other medium sized plastic container, fill with water and use and ice pick. Ice cubes are the cost of the ice pick. Or buy a few JackInTheBox breakfasts and save those containers that come with lids and are very stackable and thinner layers of ice to go through with the ice pick. Just sayin.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

If you calculate inflation, something that costs $30 today would have cost $2 back then. So if you're thinking they where priced around $1.50 to $2 back in the day, that would be correct.

[@2lmdi]

@@scarffoxandfriends9401 No, when a 5 pack of gum was 3 cents and a bottle of pop was a nickel, $1.50 or $2.00 for an ice tray would be unthinkable. Think a quarter for it if that.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

@@2lmdi a quarter would translate to about $7.50, I've seen these trays for $10 to $12. But that is still more. Technically speaking stainless steal and aluminum have dropped in price, my best guess is a common tactic seen with higher grade materials. Most people don't know the price difference between plastic and metal, so stores will sell them at much higher prices then they are worth. A lot of people have this "the more it cost the better it is" mentality, so they spend more then needed. Another place this is seen is how Apple will sell a iPhone using $300 in material for $1200. People see the iPhone costs more then the other phone, so it must mean it's better, but in actuality it's the same or worse then other cheaper priced phones.

James, I totally agree that the $store ice trays give you the best bang for your buck!!! Now, let me give you a different POV...I have a disability where I am completely unable to use my left arm; hence, twisting the $store trays is pretty much impossible. I bought a fridge with an ice maker. Sadly the ice maker has been on the fritz & repairs have been short lived. I've been on a quest for the perfect "one handed" ice cube tray. After a lot of trial & error, I found the honeycomb to be very efficient & the easiest of the ones you reviewed for me to use!!! I turn the tray onto it's top, lift each end so it stretches a little. Then I take my thumb pressing every little honeycomb. Most of the time when I lift the tray, all 34 of the cubes are nestled in the tray cover. Occasionally, there is a stubborn cube & I have to press the bottom of that particular cube again. With the way the silicone stretches, I get ALL the cubes out with minimal effort. I have a 40 oz Rtic cup & I put all 34 cubes in my cup, add my beverage of choice. After replacing my lid, my drink stays cold & drinkable for the next 24 hours. I can see how this tray is frustrating for those with 2 perfectly working hands; but, for those of us physically challenged, it is a doable alternative. My biggest complaint with the honeycomb is that it's a pain in the butt to fill up!!! Now, another suggestion that I like even better. I bought 2 of the silicone egg bite trays. I fill them about 80% full, put on the lid, & pop in the freezer. They only have 6 molds but the mold is large...like 2 oz or maybe 4 oz each. The molds are large enough that it takes some extra time to freeze. They are sometimes tricky to remove but the ice looks like a large bullet & they melt slowly. I've also discovered with these that I can run some tap water over the bottom & they release easily without the ice melting. I use 4 pieces of ice in my 40 oz Rtic & it will easily last me for 24 hours. With 2 trays, I'm using one of them while the 2nd one is freezing & then I rotate the trays so I always have a frozen tray ready to be used. Since it also has a lid, I can press the ice into the lid & then put directly into my cup. Although they're not made to be an ice tray, I prefer my egg bites ice trays to the conventional trays. With the lid, they are stackable. IF you're willing to look around, they make baby food trays similar to the egg bite trays that has 9 molds. I've ordered one of them but it hasn't arrived yet. I see NO reason to believe it won't work the same!!! I thoroughly enjoy your reviews...I just have to alter my thinking to my physical challenges & you give enough info that I find that easy to do!!! You've saved me a small fortune in watching your reviews. I passed on buying the Ice Genie after seeing your initial review. Although it sounds easy to use, you had enough trouble using 2 healthy hands that I knew I couldn't use it 1-handed...THANK YOU!!!

[@ericbartol]

I think there should be another couple of categories. Space should be a consideration. The hex and the OXO seem to be more slender units, but the volume to quantity should go to the hex. They are stackable and produce a good volume to space used. I'd have to get measurements to compare them to the dollar store option though. The hex also has the lid to prevent spilling, so that's a plus. The other thing to consider is the durability of the trays. I throw out about 6 of the dollar store type per year because they crack and leak. The hex seems to stay pliable even in the freezer, so they might not suffer from the material failure the hard plastic ones do. If you are concerned about plastic waste and the environment, you may want to think about this. On this point, what are they made of?! Is this a material that is worth producing for it's durability, or is it too damaging to the environment to even consider? That then brings up the OXO again. Is the fact that it just falls out of the tray going to give it a longer service life, making it more valuable? The $29 option seems to be the most durable option, but it is not stackable and will take up much more space as a result. It seems that you could hand these down to your children and grand children, but I would need to see the results of a durability test to see if $29 is worthwhile. Will metal fatigue be a factor on some of the moving parts? Just thought I should bring up some other things to keep in mind about these results.

[@sharonflowers66]

The honeycomb one is perfect for storing excess fresh herbs. Put them in water, freeze and you always have that fresh taste available. The fact they don't come out easily is an advantage if you only want to pop out one herb. The icenator is also great if you want ice on hand to soak your feet.

We would put several trays in, freeze and then pop out into a bowl to keep in the freezer while the next batch was freezing. I will stick to the dolla sto cheapies.

The difference between the dollar store trays and the metal 'Icenator' is 50 yrs from now the 'Icenator' will still be making those nice large cubes and you will have purchased 500 of those 'cheap' trays because they crack and leak over time(edit: by "Over time" i mean about 1yr max life). Ever wonder why one of the slots only has half an ice cube in it?? Check under that bag of frozen peas....if you can pry it loose from the ice block! I know what I'm talking about because I still use a set of 4 of that metal type tray that I inherited from my Grandparents 30 years ago and they were using them way back when I was a kid. And to use it properly, you turn it on its side and run water over the base just long enough to separate the ice from the base. Use your thumb to hold down the first rung and with your other hand pull up on the handle. Its nowhere near as difficult as you made it out to be.

[@galememeeof6688]

I remember the Icenator type trays from the 60s. They were like using the spawn of the devil. When we used to take them out of the freezer and if we were the unlucky ones to have to remove the middle you would always have to fight with it. I guess if you wait 10 minutes until they start to melt it would be OK but, especially with a family, the kids want their Kool-Aid now. If you were able to raise the handle at all the ice cubes would shatter. Then by the time you got them back in the freezer there was melted water in the bottom that caused all the bits and pieces to freeze to the bottom of the tray and you'd have a solid mess. And if you stored the tray with the cubes you had to figure out where to put the middle piece. Everybody would leave just enough pieces in the tray to not have to be the one to refill it. Then you'd have to run water in the tray to get the ice out of the bottom of the tray so the middle piece would fit all the way in or else you'd have a big sheet of ice under your cubes the next time from water getting under the sections. Sorry this is so long but I lived back in the dark ages when this was your only choice and it made for some horrible memories. lol I didn't even include the feeling on your teeth like nails on a chalkboard when the metal middle piece screeched on the metal tray. Eeeekkk

[@greggv8]

The old ones were made of aluminum. What sticks *really well* to bare aluminum? Ice and snow! In the 70's I had an aluminum snow saucer. Had to wax it like crazy to make it slide. A couple of runs downhill would have all the wax off and the snow would stick. The stainless steel one reviewed showed the whole chunk of ice popping out easily, but he still struggled with the lever. Once he got it to move a little the ice cracked apart and unlike the old aluminum trays none of it stuck to the metal. Still too expensive and fiddly, even if it only cost $1. There are good reasons why the aluminum ice trays went buh-bye when plastics that remained flexible below freezing were invented.

[@louise3993]
