Works good

These are an excellent value, and easy to use. It takes a try or three to get the hang of how to fill them just right so that you don't get a little stem. But, this is purely cosmetics -- ice is ice, and only as good as the water you use (we use filtered water, but boiling your water twice gives the BEST ice [look it up]).if you are a whisky drinker, this ice ball maker makes the perfect ice for your next dram.=========Update 2/12/2015Ok, it is clear by reading some of the more negative reviews that people just don't read directions, and complain about the results here. Here is a quick run-down:1) Clean the trays with hot water and soap, rinse and dry them thoroughly. Do this EVERY time. If you just rinse them, you won't get the results you expect. This is because as water freezes, it slowly pushes impurities away from the frozen parts. This is what gives a cloudy center. But it also pushes some impurities outward, and they adhere to the mould, causing uneven freezing next time. uneven freezing will cause the ice to fracture, splitting into pieces. So, WASH.2) Fill the bottom tray without the top of the mould in place -- don't try to pour water in through the little holes (read the directions). You will need to fill it to about 1/4" above the flat area.3) If you want clear ice, you either need to boil your water twice, or used distilled water.4) If you want VERY clear ice, you need to allow it to freeze from one side toward the other. This is called "directional freezing" and it is what professionals use to make the clear ice you see in sculptures, etc. -- most of them use elaborate combinations of open-top coolers to do this.Fortunately, this is quite easy with this mould, because of the shape of the top. Here is what I do:a) Boil the water in a pyrex measuring cup using the microwave.b) Pour about 7oz of the still HOT water into the mould (you will HAVE to adjust this to figure out what works for you -- because of various differences your amount may need to be slightly more or less).Now put on the top of the mould.c) COVER the top of the mould to seal the airspace -- tinfoil will do. I actually found a 5"x5" box and cut it to make a "top." This will seal the air space above the balls, which will create an insulating affect on the TOP only, leaving the bottom exposed.d) Place the sealed or covered mould on a TOP rack in your freezer, so the underside is as exposed as possible.By sealing the top, and exposing the bottom, your water will freeze from the bottom up, pushing the cloudy bits toward the top (and some of it out of the top), so that you will get mostly clear ice, with a small cloudy bubble patch at the top.It takes mine overnight to freeze, your timing might vary depending on the temperature of your freezer.e) Remove from freezer, grasp the edges and lightly twist the mould to break away the ice that remains in the seams surrounding each ball -- this part is in the instructions included in the mould.

Had a hard time making a full circle. Not sure if it was because in our foreign country we didn't have electricity all day.

I originally bought this ice tray to put inside my glass of whiskey and it's phenomenal at doing the job. I also sometimes put it inside of a bowl of hot soup to cool it down, but that's another story.Filling it up is a bit tricky, but for the most part it's pretty easy. You close the two molded parts into each other, and then with a small stream you fill up the tray through the top holes, doesn't matter which one you use. In case the water goes out the sides, just hold the device shut, you can have a little water spill over the top.Extracting your ice spheres: Be aware that this tray is pretty durable, you can pull stretch and twist it pretty hard and not have to worry about it breaking. So when you're trying to get to your nice ice spheres don't be afraid to rip the that sucker apart, because it get's a bit sticky, just don't pull at it so hard it flies at your roommate. That might end up being bad ... and painful.All in all, this a great tray for large ice spheres if you're ever in the market for them—also note they are "about" as large as a medium male hand making an "O" shape.Hope this helps.

I love these big ole balls of ice. They clunk real well when I shake my tumbler. I didn't really need the funnel
