We do not use our freezer's ice maker because of the off-taste ice gets from our not dumping stale ice periodically. (The self-defrosting action/air movement over ice dehydrates the cube surface.) I now have two of these designated for "ice" bins, just the right size for twisting ice trays, popping out the cubes with no mess! Just the right depth for storing/using a large scoop. The design of this product allows for a secure grip and the free-moving hinges will allow it to last for many years. 
As other reviewers say, these bins have countless uses and it is good to easily find them at so many retailiers.
