Out of 50 ice balled I've made only 1 came without cracks. I tried all options between filtered and bottled water, warmer and colder temperatures. The result was the same - a giant crack in the middle of the ball witch splits it in half within a minute in your drink...

I have had this ice ball maker for a couple of months now, and I have yet to produce well formed spheres. I was pretty disappointed at first, honestly, and then just realized it's just a novelty item. The top and bottom do not fit together securely, so the water will leak out and result in sheets of ice connecting the spheres. I wish I had paid a little more for a better designed version.
The best experience I had with this was using them for popsicles! I made fruit smoothies and funneled the smoothie into the little holes on top. Then, I stuck bamboo skewers (with the sharp end cut off) into the holes and froze. The smoothies were too thick to diverge from the forms very much, and so I got almost perfectly round Popsicles.

If you're lucky enough to get one that works, they're pretty good.  But odds of that are less than 50%.  Very little quality control in the manufacturing of this thing.  I bought two for my kids for Christmas.  One worked, one didn't.  Exchanged one to replace the one that didn't work....didn't work.  So I gave up.  The one still works and seems to do pretty good.  Tempted to try again with another one, but I see the reviews haven't trended upwards.

I ordered these as a end of the year class gift to my students. I have 24 kids so I ordered 2 packs of 12. One pack only had 11 balls which left me short one a ball. There wasn't enough time to request another. The balls are cute, but I would think twice about ordering again.

I ordered this 2 pack and when i received it there was only one inside the box. Wanted to make sure people knew this because i pretty much paid for two and got only one. I was so busy never had a chance to complain but i am now. To bad my window has passed to do anything about it.

Okay, so ice-balls. Or rather ice spheres. I waited several days after receiving this product to review it. And so far, Ive made 20 ice spheres, so thats 5 times Ive used the molds.

When the molds came in the mail, I was disappointed that there were no directions or information printed on the box OR a little flier sheet. This is why I am giving the mold 4 out of 5 stars.

Granted, it IS making ice, and how difficult can it be?

Well, there are absolutely some tricks to making these.

First, you have to fill the mold all the way to the top IF you want a complete ball of ice. Ive made several where Ive ended up with flat spheres on the top because I haven't filled it enough but if you over fill the mold you end up with water freezing into the opening where you pour the water in. For lack of a better term, this creates an ice nipple. (I apologize, just not sure how else to define it.)

So. I went to You Tube and looked up ice sphere and found a short little video for how to fill these. WHOA. The woman in the video used this mold very differently than I was and it worked much more successfully for her!

All and all these molds work great. The soft silicone material releases the ice easily and quickly. The flexibility of the mold allows for overage of water to snap out of the mold without trouble. Again, the only real problem is lack of directions which I can be fixed by visiting You Tube.

I would recommend these for sure.

I did receive this ice mold at a discount.

For the squishy farm critters there is only one fuzzy ball. This is already second time that this is happening and I will greatly appreciate it if you can either send 2 orders with no charge in I have been ordering this for over a year now or just reanburst me so I can buy elsewhere please. Thank you

The ice sphere maker is pretty straightforward.  Been experimenting with amount of water to add to get that perfect round sphere.  Haven't used distilled water yet, but even boiled water still hasn't been a successful endeavor for me to create a clear ice sphere.  Overall, this product seems to work and I have a feeling it's just my technique.

I only received ONE ROLL!!! Completely misleading.

I only got one toy. I didn't spend that much money for just one toy!

We got 36 because I expected there would be some broken, unfortunately there was also some missing. Thankfully I only need 24 and have 26 intact.

Ok, it makes ice balls. And the kids actually fight over them. Seriously, right? Who fights over ice? It makes round frozen water well. And it does really seem to not melt as quickly. I'm glad it's BPA free considering how much this get used. My only regret is that it only makes 4. I'm going to have to purchase additional ones. Ironically this frustrates me because I have a perfectly functioning ice maker in my freezer. Reluctantly, I have to admit it's a great product.

It takes a few trial and errors to get it right, but once you figure it out the ice balls are just perfect!  Ice lasts longer and I only need one at a time.

Getting the water into it is s little tricky, but in the end it works out and does produce s decent round ice ball. I I am considering using a syringe (without the needle) to fill the ball. Less messy. Perhaps Froz should consider adding a syringe as an accessory  :)

I bought Intex Small Fun Ballz from BIGFLYSPORTS and balls where not 100 in count as per the description. i counted them and they where only 82. Not a big issue.  Balls themselfs look fine

I have two Balled Stainless Whisks that I have used for years which I greatly enjoy.  I wanted to give these as Christmas Presents. One of the sets had two balls missing on one of the Whisks. As I do not have time to return and order again I will have to give something else as a gift to one of the people I had bought this as a present.

I've tried a lot of ice ball makers. They are tough and they just work. The balls are smaller, only about an inch and a half wide, much smaller than most ice ball makers. I usually add two balls to my glass. What I like about these is how easy it is to open and to refill. I always end up coming back to using these, even though I have at least three other ice ball makers in my freezer.
