ICE GENIE Ice Cube Maker Review

[@Freakinreviews]

I watched this nodding my head the entire time. I don't think mine leaked the first time, but even when it functions perfectly, the amount of ice is paltry. I think they say it can replace 7 (some ads said 10) trays by the NUMBER of cubes made in three batches, not volume of ice! haha. Of course the cubes are tiny! Good job Cathy.

[@2centchick]

That’s really a stupid comparison! LOL Someone needs to be fired for this product and the commercial! Thanks James!

[@bf5440]

Freakin' Reviews everytime you say paltry I wanna punch u in the face

[@user-ev7qw8oi7e]

What's wrong with the word paltry? Do you want to borrow my dictionary?

[@donniep1951]

Hi my wife bought one an after watching ur video I took my Dremel tool an ground of f the 3 dimples on the bottom of the inter container an guess what only about less than a teaspoon leaked through all ice cubes came out ok thanks for ur video

The Ice Genie has got to be the silliest contraption I've ever seen. Five years ago I bought ice cube trays similar to the ones shown on this video. They were 2 for 99-cents at the 99 Cent Store, and they work like a charm. It only takes a couple twists of the tray for the cubes to be released. The Ice Genie infomercial makes it seem like removing cubes from regular ol' ice trays is nearly impossible. That's not the case at all.

[@2centchick]

I agree!

[@pacpac3425]

I agree too! "Silly" is the perfect word for the Ice Genie. I'm sticking with my humble dollar store ice cube trays. These trays provide good sized ice cubes, which usually release easily. If they are being difficult, just let the tray sit on the counter for a minute or two. Not a big problem. Making ice cubes shouldn't be a complicated hassle. KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid.

[@saraleedavis]

A little warm water and easy-peasy! (That's for regular ice trays.) Those cubes are waaaaaay too small, silicone bar cube trays are the waaaaaay to go if you are an ice-head and used with a thermal bottle, you can have cold drinks - with the ice still solid 24hrs later!

[@livingsaving7257]

Companies and their false advertising claims. I hope you are returning all the products that don't work and getting your money back.

[@saraleedavis]

Good thing you're not having a cocktail party! I cracked up when the tray was empty. I'm obsessed with cold drinks. Silicone bar cube tray changed my life!!!

[@RozeAbove]

I found this thoroughly satisfying to watch! You've got a pretty cool personality. Thank you SO much for your review of this, I almost purchased one of these...man would I have been disappointed!

[@2centchick]

You’re welcome!

[@FreakinBrandon]

What a piece of junk! 20 dollars for this ice cube tray is truly unreasonable... This thing can't hold a candle to a standard ice cube tray! Great review, Cathy!

[@2centchick]

I agree! Thanks Brandon! I think you and your dad should review all the new Lays flavors. Have him try to guess! 😀

[@FreakinBrandon]

Thanks for the idea!! His reactions would be great!

[@foodyfairy7172]

I thought this looked super cool too from the ad. I love ice. But I'm cheap so I bought an amazon knock off. When I tried it I had pretty much the same issue. However my insert thing actually has a bottom so works abit better lol. I like the small ice but it doesn't exactly break off in cubes and once they're left in the freezer they all stick together anyways. Great review!

[@2centchick]

I like small ice too. It’s easier just to buy a bag of ice at Sonic.

[@sheriethomas3519]

I admire you for not throwing that thing out the window! Thanks for your patience on that one. I watch all your videos and always enjoy them.

[@2centchick]

Lol it was hard not to! Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it!

[@indyduane]

like i told James no bigger the ice cubes it makes if you poured a non cold can of soda in the glass i bet they will be melted by the time your ready to drink it

[@2centchick]

I’m sure it would be! Lol

[@trinadubya3406]

I prefer tiny ice cubes for smoothies, but I think I will stick with horizontal trays. Thanks for falling on this sword to tell us about this!

[@2centchick]

You’re welcome! 😀

[@1953SM]

I bought one of those silicone iceball makers that's supposed to make 2 1/2 inch iceballs but when you set the top half of the iceball maker over the bottom half and fill it with a TINY funnel through the small 4 holes on top of the iceball maker it leaks in between and forms a thick layer of ice between and connects the iceballs together instead of having separate balls of ice. Even though it does make iceballs you'll have to chip off the rest of the connecting ice to free the iceballs...I put it up and never used it again.Maybe one day I'll think of something to use it for other than what it was intended for.

[@johngriffin5996]

Cathy, Thank you for reviewing this product and saving me money by convincing me that it would be wasted money. At least, did the tongs work? You said that you liked small ice cubes. How about a future video reviewing ice cube trays that make small ice cubes, but include Robyn. I missed seeing her in this video and like to see both of you in your videos - you two make a great team.

[@2centchick]

You know I was so frustrated I forget to try the tongs! LOL Small ice cubes trays are a good idea, we might have to do that! Robyn will definitely be included! 😀 Thank you!

[@kathyhicswa6666]

I am so glad I was not the only one having problems when first using ice genie. it arrived today. I pressed the cylinder into the container and was able to make ice. I bought two o them since I like a lot of ice in the summer. hah! it is now winter here I Minnesota! Yes, it is October, only. LOL I had two trays of regular ice and two ice genies in freezer. The ice genie worked for me, but as you show, it dos NOT hold as much ice as advertised. You are certainly a trooper through it all. bravo to you!

[@2centchick]

Thank you!

[@moviemakerwannabe]

I think you should spray paint it gold and use it for a planter.

[@2centchick]

Great idea! Thanks😀

Watch this my friends, and you shall soon see Cathy's frustration with the failed Ice Genie She huffed and she puffed as she struggled with it I'm pretty sure I even heard her say the word s**t. Sarcastically I say, this product's a beaut But at least I can say Cathy always looks cute Obvious to all, Ice Genie won't work For the price that they ask, you'll feel like a jerk. My regards go to Robyn (and her hubby John too) Can't wait for the next 2centchicks KZbin review!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elizabethryan8529]

I am so glad I saw your review because I was so excited to try this. Not anymore! My patience would’ve run out waaay before yours did and probably would find this thing thrown out in the yard!! I hate not having an ice maker. Especially in the summer. Has anyone tried the countertop ice makers?

[@2centchick]

Lol I was pretty frustrated! I have not tried the countertop ice marker, if I had the room I would love one. I love the ice from Sonic, I buy a bag every few weeks.

[@revolution51]

I am copying and pasting my comment from a previously viewed vid. Have added a few insights here to this one. This thing does work.!! Very well, in fact.!! This ice mold makes the perfect sized and shaped ice for 'White Russians', my preferred drink, and works as good as any ice tray. It is just a step or 2 up in technology from previous 1 piece ice molds and not immediately appreciated. It is as simple as: Step 1 insert clear sleeve into blue sleeve Step-2 fill 40 hemispherical grid pattern mold volume with water Step-3 put on lid Step-4 place in freezer Step-5 remove ice and replace clear sleeve, place ice 'hemis' in inner storage volume Step-6 repeat until inner storage is full The following is a step by step, explanation of the above 6 steps: 1-place blue outer container on flat stable surface 2-insert clear inner sleeve into blue part with '3 evenly spaced tabs' end first Top end is identified by two thumb grips for use later. 3-press down firmly on thumb grips on clear sleeve until bottom of inner sleeve (clear cylinder) is fully pressed into the sealing rings molded into the bottom inner diameter of the blue sleeve. Note: the bottom of the clear cylinder with the 3 tabs does not seal against the bottom of the blue cylinder. It is sealing between the clear cylinder and the molded in seal rings at the bottom of the blue cylinder. 4-take lid, note 3 internal holding tabs for locking to the outer blue body, push down over top rim of the blue outer cylinder until 3 internal lid tabs 'pop' over blue container top rim, locking unit together, keeping bottom water seal intact. 5-Fill outer 'ice ball' molds with water, takes very little. inner large space takes no water and is designed into the unit for use when crushing the ice for disassembly after freezing. 6-place in freezer until frozen 7-remove from freezer and squeeze entire assembly gently to 'crack' the mold. disassemble and remove ice. This unit is like traveling 100 yards to a well for a cup of water. Not much return on investment, but may provide a quick turn around if you are making 'White Russians'. UPDATE: just took it out of the freezer. It worked great. Larger inner volume is for storing the ice as you make more and more.

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

Sorry to see it is such a frustrating product. I really understand why you got the ice cream at some point ;) Good to have seen the review, looks like something I would leave in the store, collecting dust on a shelf there. Go with the regular ice tray instead.

Thanks!

[@annetomlinson9983]

What a waste of money. Thanks for the review.

[@Kelli_D.]

This is the 2nd review I've seen for this, 1st one didn't have as much of an issue with the leaking, but the only use I see for this would be to make cubed ice for coolers, which my boyfriend makes using old storage containers or empty washed out sour cream, type containers then fill them with water, put them in the freezer then when done pops them out and puts them in the cooler instead of bag ice - he does this because it lasts way longer than bag ice, he does for his week long trip in the middle of July which is typically our (Indiana) hottest part of Summer, and the ice lasts him all week, even when it melts it stays freezing cold, often when he gets back and I'm empty out coolers I'm tossing still have frozen chunks of ice into the sink but for that price I'd still stick with reusing cottage cheese, sour cream type containers lol

[@2centchick]

That’s a great idea! I guess I need to start saving my containers. Thanks!

[@lauramelton91]

I use the small cottage cheese , single serve jello or applesauce containers to freeze ice for my cat's drinking water during the Indiana summers as well

[@ashleyguillot3582]

I love the idea of having ice in that shape and size, but it seems like there would be an easier way to achieve it. I also don't understand where they are getting the space saving part from... Maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks for the review!

[@2centchick]

You and me both! I don’t understand either. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for watching!

[@ashleyguillot3582]

They must be counting the number of cubes but not the size of the cubes when talking about how it creates more than the seven standard trays.

[@2centchick]

Oh probably! Thanks

[@searose1335]

Thanks for the excellent review Cathy. That had to be a very frustrating one since there doesn't seem to be any redeeming qualities to it. Also a lot of work for basically nothing. The little bit of ice you got in one batch wasn't enough for one drink. It would take a week to have enough for any practical purpose. Best use looks like for the wine bottle but even that wouldn't keep it cold for long. Only other thing I can think of is to use it as a mold (without the inner part) for a giant cube to float in a punch bowl or drink dispenser. Or let the kids use it at the beach to build sand castles. Basically a $24.95 solution to a $1 problem.

[@2centchick]

Oh I love those ideas! Thank you!

[@donapedersen3181]

You need to review one of the awesome portable ice makers that sit on the countertop. Nice small chewable ice. Mine runs constantly.

[@2centchick]

I have thought about! Does it take up much room?

[@donapedersen3181]

2¢ Chicks, there are different sizes, one type of model takes about the size of a stand mixer and one bigger takes up more the size of a bread maker. There are many different brands but seem like they are manufactured in the same place. I had one that I liked but it started to act up, which was the smaller model. I purchased another larger one. It made the same amount of ice but held more and didn’t have to be filled as often. The bigger model which was an Igloo I bought after that was less finicky. You’d have to use one to know what I’m talking about but the ice is worth the small aggravation. There is an ice maker that is really expensive that supposedly makes Sonic ice. Much different model than the more common ones.

[@JellicleKat]

[@2centchick]

That’s a good idea. Thanks!

[@PatriotNC1]

Just doing the math in my head, I knew that 4 Oz of water would not equal the amount of water in 7 ice trays, even with smaller cubes. To compare, you use about 10 Oz or so of water in your coffee mug. But when Cathy growls, you know it's a piece of junk. 😁

James from Freakin' Reviews did the Ice Genie recently and I THOUGHT his inner container had a solid bottom. It seems rather labor intensive and not cost effective. With the heat we've been having the ice would melt before I got it open. Another device that won't be in my kitchen ;) Thanks for your review.

[@2centchick]

I can see where you thought that! I think you probably saw the ice at the bottom, his leaked too. Thanks for watching!

I bought two of these and what a waste of money. The inner sleeve on mine does have a bottom to them though. Crappy product.

[@2centchick]

[@wendyeshelman4229]

I wonder if this little tip would help. You showed that the insert had little feet on the bottom, making water leak through. Try using nail clippers to clip those suckers off. I just bought one for my mom. I'm beginning to regret that decision, but don't wanna lose hope.

[@2centchick]

It might! Thanks

[@shannonaskew149]

Did u put the lid on it when u did the jello? It looked like the jello didn’t leak. Maybe snapping the lid on makes the movement to leak the ice. Definitely a waste of money. Thanks for the review

[@2centchick]

You know I don’t think I did. Maybe I’ll try some more ice without and see what happens. Thanks!

[@nicolesweetz3123]

Something you might like is the Rival Snow Cone maker . They're like $30 on Amazon. I just ordered my second one. Can ya'll do a review for the Rival, please and thank you.

[@msjenjenp]

Add $75 and get yourself an electric ice maker. They are all pretty much the same. They generally last about a year +/-, but so worth it and you have to buy another one. All the ice you want, every day, all day long. Can't beat it. Cleaning it out once a week, however, is mandatory. Use a spray bottle of white vinegar, remove the little filter thingy and clean, wipe down with a sponge, rinse with the spray nozzle and back in business. Make ice and throw it in the freezer in a storage bag. Bang it on the counter. . . poof. . . use for Cosmos, Maragritas, Ice Tea, Smoothies, Snow Cones, etc.

[@rochellehasson3931]

ok... opened the Genie... had a HARD time releasing the inner chamber, but once i did, cubes came out fine. They are little roundish cubes... cute... and popped them in the freezer along with my regular ice cubes. Don't agree with the manufacturer about them "replacing 7 regular ice cube trays"... but I didn't pay for this gadget, and glad I didn't. NOT what it's cracked up to be (PUN INTENDED).haha

[@donnabullock5761]

Try freezing a little water in the bottom and after that freezes then fill up the sides. Might do something!

[@2centchick]

[@brenrose8682]

I just bought one for my son. Put it in the freezer and the same thing happened to us. It's dumb I'm returning it. Bought it at JC Penney's.

[@kanokaninja7121]

Yes, returning mine today. Very difficult to get the insert in without water leaking from the seal into the bottom, just like yours. I got to the point where I was trying multiple times to get it to seal. Too much time and frustration. UGH. Not worth my time fighting it. You did miss-pour, if you watch it after pouring a bit of water in, you will see it leak from the bottom seal. I noticed the same thing with the little "feet" at the bottom. Not a good product, UGH.

[@bethnugent7629]

Love it. Calling them out. Well done.

[@2centchick]

[@rochellehasson3931]

The white inner thingie DOES snap into place...after a few tries!. I filled it up and had a REALLY hard time getting the lid to "snap" closed. I have not yet tried to get the ice cubes out... will report back later on.

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

Normal Ice tray, 16 cubes per tray x 7 trays = 112 cubes. Could it be that they are counting the amount of cubes ? Not a fair way to compare it like that, but I could be that they are counting like they do.

[@2centchick]

Ohhhh you are probably right, but yeah that’s not a fair comparison at all. Thanks!

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

YW

[@1953SM]

Maybe if the insert had a bottom it might work...what was the sense of not having a bottom to it in the first place? A bottom would at least get rid of the leak problem and the majority of the water would stay along the wall as intended.

[@2centchick]

I agree, that would be a much better design!

[@2centchick]

[@brittany8546]

I like the idea of faster cooling beers in the freezer, maybe a piece of styrofoam at the bottom to dig into can help or just filling up extra since it will leak into the center? (Which is stupid but at least more ice would come out) as is and for the price of 25$ I would say NO, if I ever saw it for maybe like a few bucks a few years down the line I'd get it for chilling drinks only :) thank you for the review! Glad to know this thing is basically garbage!

[@2centchick]

[@puppypower84]

If they're going for the idea of covering your ice cube they don't taste like your freezer, wal mart grocery area has regular trays that come with covers....so no freezer funk taste.

[@cestmois9959]

Tray = 12 oz. Thingie=4 0z. It holds 3 fixings. 3 × 4 = 12. Same amount. You would need to store bbn several fixings in something else to accumulate enough ice. It should still take up less space. Try making flavored cubes i.e. make Coca Cola cubes to out into your Coke.

[@andrewmcphail1708]

Either you are doing something wrong or you have a defective unit. James White from Freakin Reviews got it working every time.ask him what he did differently. Great review none the less.

[@2centchick]

I think his might have leaked a little, that’s why he had a big chunk at the bottom of 2nd and 3rd batch. We have talked about it, and both agree it’s probably going to be the worst product of 2018.

[@TomMaynard--TCM--]

I was cringing the whole time, worried about your fingernails! I'd have bent or broken at least two, for sure.

THINK ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A ICE BUCKET" IN CENTER. NOT A OPEN CYLINDER TYPE INSERT.. THER ARE TABS SO BOTTOM LID IS MISSSING.. ( THINKIN..?) A FREEZER... CAN HANDLE FREEZING ABOUT 2" ALL WAY AROUND PRETTY EASILY .. SO THAT PART SHOULD BE GOOD.. .... I STACK S/S BOWLS INSIDE EACH OTHER AN FREEZING (FASTER..)W OVER INCH WATER IN EACH...

[@jamie514]

Before you showed the bumps on the bottom of the insert, I was gonna comment that maybe the blue material is too flexible so when you fought to get the lid on is when it leaked. Looks like just really bad design. I’ve seen ice trays with the small half-sphere shapes like that at dollar stores tho so theres that :)

[@2centchick]

Yes, a very bad design! I went to my dollar store looking for ice cube tray and they didn’t have any! Lol

[@Shelzbells]

Oh I would have been so frustrated with that thing too. What a joke that is , right? Can you take it back, I would. Pricey too. I watched the commercial, and I gotta say, I dont see where they get that it replaces 7 trays of ice either lol. You said you buy sonic ice? Do you mean the drive in sonic???

[@2centchick]

I might look into returning it but I would have to pay for shipping I’m sure. Yes I do mean the sonic drive in, sorry about that.

[@sshhh2]

Hey would this product work better if you turned it upside down when freezing ? Means it wouldn’t leak at the bottom that way ? Just a thought.

[@2centchick]

I’ll have to try that! Thanks

[@michelj.gaudet5048]

While I am NOT endorsing the following, it worked for my buddy. He carefully, using an X-acto knife, removed the three nubs at the bottom. According to him, it now works great, but like YOU discovered, the capacity claims are false advertising. It is a piece of junk.

[@2centchick]

Yeah, I did think about doing that, but for $24.95 I shouldn’t have to. But now that I’m stuck with it I just might try it. Thanks!

[@michelj.gaudet5048]

Thanks, almost buy it...

[@monicabermea7652]

Thanks for the review. I wish I would have watched before buying. I do not like this product.

[@codyxw98]

You should do the no spill chill. Also you should do a day in the life vlog, that night be interesting. Good video.

[@2centchick]

Someone else mentioned that, but I heard it was discontinued. As for a day in a life vlog, it would probably put you to sleep. LOL Our lives are not that exciting. However, in Oct we our going on a cruise have we have talked about vlogging a little on the cruise.

[@codyxw98]

2¢ Chicks Will look out for that!

[@mjhonold8530]

Thanks for the review. Seen a few reviews on the Ice Genie and you are not the only one that had that trouble. I call that product a piece of c**p. Waste of money!!

[@2centchick]

That’s exactly what it is! Lol

[@WaterburnerActual]

Yeah, I dont see how it could sit flush on the bottom with those tabs. So w/o being able to see the insts, which you are more than intelligent enough to follow them, it doesnt look like ya did anything wrong. I was feeling bad for your getting frustrated! Clearly wasnt worth it, and plz let us know you got your RA nr fm their Cust Svc for your refund!

[@2centchick]

Yeah, I don’t understand the design at all!

[@samuelfellows6923]

🇬🇧 - I have bought this as a present for my dad, we currently have a white silicone traditional, big & small ice cube tray which we have to wrestle the cubes out - tend to stick to the sides and now has a crack in one corner and a chip in one of the cube moulds, as a result of the wrestling and age of it. 🧐 In case of this ice Genie, if there are not slots for the tabs on the bottom of the inner sleeve I’ll sand the tabs off to make it flat myself 😉

[@gayelee2048]

Love small ice but give me Sonic ice!! Great review!

[@2centchick]

It’s the best!

[@meenasworld79]

Freeze the jello and you will have better luck! It's a great treat.

[@2centchick]

Thanks for the tip!

[@KristineT8]

I watched the video of it after watching your and the insert doesn't look the same as yours, yours looks like it has handles on the side and the product video one doesn't? maybe that's one of the problems, wrong insert?

[@stitch-xx2oo]

Sorry it didn't work... I'm hope you got your money back?

[@THATHATSALLFOLKS]

would have made sense to have the inner part be a cup,not a tube that snapped in place so the water/cubes would freeze on the outside. then when done break them up.. fill the cup with the new cubes then start your next ones by filling outside with water again..BUT...NOOOOOOOO

[@2centchick]

Yes, I agree!

[@rogers53]

Cathy I like a little ice too.

[@2centchick]

It’s the best! 😀

[@lindamaxwell4788]

You seem to be such a nice lady you really worked hard at it tooooo much work for that little ice 😂😂😂😂😂

[@2centchick]

Exactly! No one should have to work so hard for ice! 😂

[@malavalla]

love the review I kind of knew it was "shit" lol from watching freaking reviews, but my question is what do you mix with your Rum Chata , I'm a bartender and people always ask, I say coffee or rootbeer because that the most requested

[@2centchick]

LOL good eye! I don’t mix it, I just shoot it. I have heard of people mixing it with Fireball.

[@sesimiller5169]

yea, idk about this thing, but Sonic ice is AMAZING!

[@2centchick]

I agree! I buy a 10lb bag every few weeks.

[@sesimiller5169]

@@2centchick sadly, we dont really have one near us.. but i would too if we did.. id have to take a cooler with me to go get any, the closest one is prob 50 miles away, lol..

[@vfpdesign]

I hadn’t heard of it until I saw the latest Aldi circular tonight, where they have it for $9.99. Sounds like a clever idea, but what a POS! Not worth 99¢! Thank you for being our guinea pig. Great review. Sorry you lost the $25 plus whatever the Jello costs.

[@2centchick]

You’re welcome! Definitely one of the worst products I have reviewed.

[@badpizzadays]

I really like the name, it reminds me of another genie product. Let me think... Oh yeah, the diaper genie. Perhaps they could combine purposes called the frozen diaper genie, it could make ice cubes and preserve those stinky diapers until you have time to throw them out.

[@2centchick]

😂🤣😂

[@badpizzadays]

2¢ Chicks ain't nothing magic about this genie!

[@2centchick]

badpizzadays you are right about that!

[@karenaquadro1817]

Right on.

[@charliae7155]

Boy did you do a great job. Certainly showed me it's not for handicapped handed. Sheesh!

[@kaffepojke]

I felt so sorry for you as I watched this video. You poor thing. :( My question is do you or anybody actually use ice cube trays anymore? That is what ice makers are for. Thank you for doing the suffering for us.

[@2centchick]

Good point, I don’t know of anyone who uses ice trays anymore. It is really a bad design, probably the worst product I have reviewed. Thanks for watching me suffer. LOL

[@EpicConspiracy]

Lol. When you poured the ice in the bowl you had a look on your face like you’re pouring $24.99 away

[@2centchick]

😂 Exactly 😡

[@kholdstare90]

I honestly don't think I've seen a positive review of that thing. I was getting frustrated at it with you!

[@2centchick]

It’s definitely one of the worst products I have reviewed!
