Rubbermaid Easy Release Ice Cube Tray, 2 Pack

I received "Mr. Kitchen" ice cube trays, NOT Rubbermaid. There was a sticker on the shrink wrap saying it was Rubbermaid (same as some other customers have posted - I should have read the reviews before ordering). Do not order these. It's more hassle than it's worth for me to return them, and based on actual listings for Mr. Kitchen these are BPA free, so I'll keep them but I am really annoyed to have received the wrong item.

I ordered 12.5" Rubbermaid ice cube trays. I didn't look at the reviews before ordering these because we already use and like this size of Rubbermaid trays. Instead of the 12.5" Rubbermaid, though, we received 10.5" Mr Kitchen ice cube trays. Big difference in size and quality. Please see the photos I posted. The first is our existing 12.5" Rubbermaid tray next to the 10.5 Mr Kitchen tray. The other photos show the stamped Mr Kitchen brand on the new tray, and the stamp from an actual Rubbermaid tray. The Mr Kitchen trays are flimsy and look like something from the Dollar Store. Looking at the 1 star reviews now, I see that others are ordering Rubbermaid but getting these smaller Mr. Kitchen trays too, so it wasn't a mistake in fulfilling our order. Don't order these.

These trays are horrible. The old Rubbermaid trays used to be much taller and the plastic was thicker so that the cubes easily popped out—these trays have “Rubbermaid” stamped on the sides, but it’s hard to believe given how terrible the quality is. They most certainly are not easy-release—ice just sticks to the sides, and the cubes are tiny, meaning I’m constantly having to refill the trays. Can’t believe these have so many positive reviews. I wonder if the ones I received are knock-offs, because when I went to the Rubbermaid website, they said each tray was supposed to be 2” tall, whereas the pair I received are 1.25” tall.

Although this ice tray may look like the one you had growing up, I promise it's better. I was going to buy a tray that had a silicone bottom because the idea of just pushing the ice out sounded convenient and cool, but the reviews on those trays all said it only *kinda* worked like that or that you had to run the silicone part under water for a minute.Absolutely not. I want to take the tray out of the freezer, twist it to break extraneous ice bits, and pop ice cubes into a glass until my heart's content. And I definitely don't want to have to fling one side of the tray up to tray and catch an ice cube like a cartoon character catches a piece of toast out of a toaster.This tray has none of the aforementioned ailments. Once the water freezes in the tray, you just twist the tray to loosen the cubes from the molding, then push one side of a cube down and boom - the ice cube is in your hand. There's no other steps. The cubes come out just like that. Plus, they're never the broken/semi-shattered half cubes that you used to get sometimes.I know that's a lot to say about an ice tray, but that's how I feel. I can't help my emotions. It's just a great ice tray.

Boring is good. These are the ice cube trays you're looking for if you just want ice with no drama, and no questions asked.Now, they're not sexy, they're not cutting edge design, they're not super-sized nor do they make interesting ice shapes. They don't come in wild colors or materials. As I said, they're actually pretty boring. And boring is perfect when you want to do something as mind-numbingly simple as make ice.They stack nicely and they last a long time -- we've had 2 for 5 years and recently added 2 to the rotation and it's not possible to tell by looking which are newer.

Poorly constructed. Found that they repeatedly cracked. You're better off upgrading to a cheaper silicone option in my opinion.

For almost 8 years, I've lived in my apartment with a variety of dollar-store ice cube trays. They worked, sometimes, popping out the cubes after some coaxing. Sometimes, I'd have to heat them up over a gas burner to melt them enough so they'd release, sometimes, I would leave them on the counter before I "cracked" them, and then I'd end up with wet, half sized cubes. Sometimes, I'd slam them into the counter, surely driving my neighbors crazy, Sometimes, I'd try to crack them, and the tray would snap in half in my hands. I even have a scar from where one cut me, although it wasn't the first time an ice cube tray cut me. That was just the one that left a scar.One of my life mottos is, "a good home is one where you can get a good glass of ice water." But what good is ice water if you're slicing your hand open getting the ice? No good, I say!Enter, Rubbermaid Easy Release Ice Cube Tray - Pack of 2. I've had these trays for less than a week, but I can say without a doubt and (I swear to God) without any sarcasm that these ice cube trays have made my life at home considerably better. You barely twist it, and the cubes slide out. Did you read that? They slide out! They don't pop up in your face, they don't crack in half and fall on the floor (only to leave the other half stuck frozen in the tray). They slide out and into your glass or ice bucket and life is good with your perfect ice cubes.The only thing that I don't like about these is that you have to place the top tray directly onto the bottom tray, you can't slide it back. You'll know what I mean when you buy them. And you should buy them - it's such a minor, minor thing that I debated even mentioning it, but here I am professing my love for ice cube trays, so why not mention the one thing they could make better the next time they redesign these (which, Rubbermaid, they're otherwise perfect, so maybe don't redesign them, eh?)

This item is identified as a Rubbermaid product but I received trays with "Mr. Kitchen" on them. The bag the trays were in had a laser printed label that said "Rubbermaid". There is no country of origin and the type of plastic is not identified.

the trays are not similar to what i had previously purchased a few years ago. the length, width and number of ice cubes is the same but unfortunately it is shorter in depth by 1/4" which creates a smaller ice-cube volume that i am not a fan of, since it melts quicker in a drink. I inquired by email to the company to see if i could source the old product but have not received response. There is no issue with quality or function, they are just smaller.

I wasted so much money on multiple brands of the “modern soft silicone trays”, but they all make the ice taste like rubber, even after dozens of uses. Had to go back to the tried and true plastic trays, and these ones are perfectly fine. Just the right amount of twisting to loosen, and cubes are not too small or too large.

We really like this item. Makes great ice cubes and they are easy to remove.

Yes I would recommend this product

Excellent tray
