Disappointed

Ice did not look like the photos at all. Very little detail - photos misrepresent how the ice looks. If you want very large round ice balls without much detail, this product will do that.

No too bad.

No matter how many times I've washed them - it leaves a film on the ice that transfers to the glass and can be a bugger to wash off. It's hard to see the details of the Death Star with how cloudy the ice is. No matter what kind of water I use. Distilled, filtered, normal.

Does an adequate job

I'm making about 100 of these for an upcoming party. The product works fairly well, but there are a few things to understand.
1) You WILL NOT get a crystal clear sphere because when ice freezes air gets trapped in the center of the ice and occludes visibility. You can jump through a bunch of steps so you do get clear ice but they are actually reasonably difficult. Just using distilled water won't do the trick.
2) Some spheres will break along the diameter where the molds sit together. That is just the way it is because !SCIENCIE!. That happens fairly infrequently and is a pain, but not horrific.
3) Getting the spheres out of the mold can be a PITA.
4) The ice takes a long time to freeze because the silicon mold is actually insulating the water so it stays warmer longer. You can greatly reduce the time to freeze by putting a large glass of water in the fridge for a few hours beforehand and fill the molds with that water which shold be around 37 degrees F. I can get at MAX 3 rotations per day if I don't use the water trick, 4 if I use the trick.
5) Over time you the molds will gradually warp and you'll lose one or two to use. It sucks, but it's life.
In summary, it does the job moderately well. Worth the money, but it has drawbacks.

Not ideal. Won't close correctly and the ice cubes have lines across the spot with seal doesn't close. Great return policy and easy to do

You have to make a lot of tests to get one right. I still don’t know how to make cristal clear ice. Anyway at the end you get a nice ball of ice for your drink

I love the tray! But that’s what I’m disappointed about, I only got one tray. There were supposed to be 6!

A nice set but don't be fooled by the pics they are all the same size and you will need a large glass to put these in

Fun ice cubes. They are a little bit hard to use and my Death Stars often came out misshapen.

You could just buy any spheres. There is not nearly the detail on the ice cube as in the picture.
