In the photo the cubes look white and cloudy. I want a clear clean cube. I am trying to avoid the ugly cloudy cubes. How are they?

They are cute little long round cubes. Mine has 3 sizes. Not a big difference between sizes but you can tell there is a change in the sizes. As far as clear, I don't think they are see-through if that is what you mean. I would have to check them out and get back to you. However, they do look clean. This might very, depending on hard water or not.

Not sure what you're asking bc I'm not a big "cuber" but my son is a HUGE cube kid (14yrs old) and was happy but the color was white instead of black- but then he ended up liking them as well. The squares are not stickers, but imprinted with the color.

What's the date on the product? I don't think it's supposed to be cloudy. I would contact the seller for an exchange.

Mine have "flakes" that appear on the surface of my drink if I don't wash the ice ball off before using it. I have run the molds through the dishwasher several times, washed in hot water by hand, used vinegar to wash, towel dried them and let them air dry, used tap water, filtered water and bottled water. Nothing works. The ice from my freezer does not have this issue, so it must be the ice balls. I wish I had gone with a different brand.

To answer your question, I must address your concerns about "white" and "bitter-flavor" separately. Yes, these ice cubes are white, not crystal clear. The white color is from air entrapped as the cubes form on the refrigerated rods. The entrapped air makes the ice cubes "soft" and easily chewed if you are inclined to chew ice. We love this consistency. These ice cubes do not, however, have a bitter flavor. As I stated in my review, you must clean the ice maker when you first use it to get rid of the slight "new plastic" taste, but after that the ice does not have any bad flavor. We love this ice machine! Hope this helps.

not clear but not exactly white either. you can see what is inside. maybe opaque might best describe them?

They're really light pastel colors. There are two pink sides, not red, adjacent to each other which makes solving the cubes annoying because they're pretty similar. The other colors as you can see are a light blue, yellow, and light green. Hope this helps

Hi, the bottle I purchased it was cloudy. I didn't even notice it was clear in the picture. It is thick solution. Nothing is wrong. I have used half the bottle and have purchased a second bottle to have on hand. Hope this helps.

Soft cloth, warm soap and water. Do NOT use soap on the cube. Clean it separately.

Unless they've changed their design, they should be clear -- mine were. I think if they were "milky", they would be described as opaque.

The ones I bought for my mother are clear. I wouldn't describe them as crystal but they are beautiful and very finely made. I have some in the Dragonfly pattern and my sister has the Versailles in wine, water and carafe.They can also be put in the dishwasher but make sure they don't touch each other. I chipped the rim of one of mine that way.

They are supposed to be clear but the lens is made of cheap cloudy plastic. I wasn't pleased with them. They are not sunglasses. If you're looking for glasses ebay sells nice ones for American Girl type dolls. I bought a clearish purple from there during the same time I bought these and you could really tell the difference in quality.

They are not as clear as glass but not completely frosted either. I'd say more clear than white. You can easily see what is inside. Hope that makes sense. They have held up very well. I haven't had one bin or lid crack.

Boil the water first. If you have very minerally water (ie well water) try using purified bottled water. Regardless boil it first. The hazyness comes from microscopic bubbles trapped in solution. Boiling causes those microscopic bubbles to dissipate and you get left with crystal clear ice once its frozen. Makes for quite the dramatic effect with this ice cube maker, IMO.

I actually had to go take one out to look at it this morning. The best way to answer it is both square and round, they are flat sided and have rounded edges, so they can stack close together nicely as a square and yet no sharp edges. They really are nice looking and work effectively as a storage that can keep the air out nicely.

They are Clear as far as clear can get for hot melt. Not like the cloudy ones that look white upon application.

I've tried the boiling water trick but they still came out cloudy. Honestly the best thing I found was distilled water. I use a jug of super distilled water and they come out clear as day.
