I purchased this because I am an umpire for a little league incase of an accident, sprain or bruise. It works. Also its the same item that is used in my hospitals emergency room for the same reason. Colder than ice? Its a quick fix for incidents in the field, hiking, picnics or beach.

Doesn't cool as well as an ice pack you keep in the freezer or even ice cubes in a bag or ice pack...mostly because it just doesn't last long. I'd say you have no more than like 10-15 minutes before this cold pack is no longer cool enough to be effective.

1) You can hear it running, but it makes no more noise than my 18 cu.ft. Whirlpool. 2) The answer totally depends on the shape of the container(s). The more surface area, the quicker the total freeze. I see no reason that your container(s) wouldn't freeze just as fast in the Waynter as in your home unit. It may be best to keep the unit in the quick freeze mode, and set it at max. cold until they are frozen.

I use it t freeze dog treats. You can use it freeze ice cream but since it is advertised as 4 ounces it will hold 1/2 cup or less

I am sorry I really do not know. I bought this as a gift for somebody in Florida so there is no worry for freezing.Sorry I cannot be more help.

No, when you add water, following directions provided, the "pillow" acts like a bag of airtight jello. I found the item as advertised except that, for me, it was too cold. I have hot flashes and, while it definitely did cool me, it was, again, way too cold.

I have not tried to chill it in the freezer yet. I don't think it will be a problem. The glass is very thick and feels solid.

I have not tried to freeze it. Freezing water makes it expand and could crack it. Your question is a good one. It would be nice to have cold water. The mfg should know the answer.

Very little. The main purpose of this product is to prevent freezing. I tried on 500Gal with no noticeable temp difference. I hope this helps

I would say no more then five pounds. Since it is a gel there is little difference between frozen and unfrozen. I have used the pack to mow our half acre lawn with a walking mower and dig fence polls and am out of shape. the vest did not add any weight.

I have used ice twice. Didn't notice much difference from just using water. This is a great unit. i live in AZ and it has been 100 degrees the last few days. this has helped me keep cool.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

They seem to hold 1.5 ounces filled to the top. It's not quite 2oz. I'm guessing it advertises as 1oz because I've heard not to fill things to the top when freezing. It's a great product!!.

It freezes quite well. I have only used this cold by freezing it. And it retains the cold for well more than 30 minutes. The material in the bag is some sort of clay and it stays pliable even when frozen. So it is easy to use on your back, arm, leg, or other body part. When I put it in the freezer, I put it in a gallon plastic bag (folded in half with the cover left on it). It freezes in about an hour. When I need it, I pull it out of the freezer, take the plastic bag off, and put it to use.

Not quite -- meaning that there is a difference between ounce (weight) and ounce (fluid). The "electronic brain" in the scales converts between kilograms (weight) and ounce (weight). For water, the difference between fluid ounce and ounce (weight) is often negligible. For powders, foams, and heavy syrups, the difference can be quite large (large enough to spoil a cooking recipe). The connection between what you want (i.e., volumetric measurement such as fluid ounce) and what the device provides is called "density" (i.e., the weight per volume). If a material has a density that differs greatly from the density of water, then you can ask a friendly high-school chemistry-student to convert the values for you. Alternatively (probably more easily), you can stop using American cookbooks and start using either European cookbooks or professional-restaurant cookbooks, because they tend to use weight-based proportions in their recipes. American cookbooks use volumetric measurements (e.g., fluid ounce) because it is easier to simply scoop out or pour up a cup of material rather than weight it. The actual proportions in a recipe typically are more closely related to weight than to volume. For a simple exercise, you might try weighing a cup of dry rice and then 2 cups of water. That proportion (plus or minus 10 or 20%) "works" in the kitchen for most boil-to-absorb methods for cooking rice. Once you have such a proportion, write it down and use it henceforth. I hope that this helps. It does take some getting used to using weights rather than volume measurements. An advantage to changing your "thinking" to weight-measures is that calories are directly related to weight and are typically reported in weight-units.

I don't know if it does mix well in cold water, not actually tried it. As to drinking it iced, not tried either.

When you use these drops you have to mix the chemicals, let them sit then when you add to water you also have to let it sit for awhile. I don't know if this answers your question but when I used it there was still ice and snow around and I had no problem so it should be ok with the cold.
