Product review (5 stars): Cheap and great!!
I got this for a great price, so it was worth trying out. Once it's filled nearly to the top with water, it can be a bit tricky to put in the high compartment of the freezer just like any ice tray, but worse because the silicone is not a rigid structure. And with me not being so tall, it was extra hard. For those who are height-challenged, I recommend using a step stool or putting the ice tray in one of the lower shelves in the freezer. Once all the ice are frozen, there's not issue taking the tray out of the freeze. At first, I wanted to free the ice cubes like a normal ice tray by bending the corners. That method does not work. Instead, you pretty much have to treat each ice piece individually and pop them out by pushing from the bottom. Of course, this can be tricky if you push too hard and the ice cube pops out and falls onto the ground and make your efforts go to waste. But then I quickly realized I could just put the whole tray in one of those 1-gallon freezer Ziploc bags and pop out the ice cubes like I'm trying to pop the zit on some giant's face. Worked like a charm. I then just zipped up the freezer bag and put it in the freezer, which has the added benefit of keeping the ice from smelling like the rest of your food stored in the freezer. Recommend getting this as I am currently enjoying the cool taste of scotch in my mouth while writing this review...
