Joie Ice Sticks For Water Bottles, Ice Cube Tray, Makes 9 Ice Sticks, Assorted Colors

I have purchase several ice trays from the Joie line. This particular ice tray is not silicone, which I thought before I purchased it. Instead it is a hard plastic, but surprisingly works well. It’s easy to remove the ice, and it is perfect for water bottles. The only downside is that if the ice tray is not filled up properly then ice will be uneven and will break upon taking it out. But other than that it works fine.

I use these on my bike in hot conditions. I can fill my bottle mostly with these ice sticks and then fill the remaining space with cold water. In this manner, I have cold water available later on in my ride. Works much better than crushed ice in the bottle and certainly way better than those 'half moon' shapes common in ice makers in the refrigerator. I don't really use the latch/door that the top has, though. Just easier to take the top off, fill it up and put the top back on. If you are considering this vs. the silicon ones that are on the market, by all means get this type. The silicon once are a pain to get the cubes out.

Works fine, easy to use. I’m giving it a 3 star only because I was under the impression you get 3 trays. You only get 1, and one tray for almost $9 is not worth it.

The water filled up and stuck to the top so it was kinda hard to take off and get the ice out.

The aluminum highly-insulated water bottles that are so popular have, in my opinion, one big flaw: they have such a narrow neck that ice cubes won't fit! This little tray is perfect for long narrow cubes. You can fill it with the cover on, which makes transporting it to the freezer spill-free. Twist to loosen the ice, and you can push on one end of the ice sticks and they pop out easily. It easily fits in my tiny office freezer. They don't offer a choice of colors -- they sent red, which is vibrant and fun.

A good idea on paper. But when put into practice, it all fell apart. The size of the "cubes" are either too big to fit most bottles, or they're too small, and they melt right away. If you like cold drinks. And I'm assuming you do since you're looking for ice trays. Don't buy these.

We initially were a little bummed that this was rigid plastic instead of soft silicone, but it only took one batch of ice to make us believers. It turns out that a small flex is all that's needed to loosen the sticks, and a poke with a finger is enough to slide each one of them out of the tray. The snap-on lid makes it easy to fill the tray and distribute water to all molds without spilling water -- just rinse it when you are refilling the tray so it doesn't fog and keep you from seeing what the heck is going on beneath it. ;-) Our tray has been in heavy use for nearly a month and we love it!

Fast/free shipping. Got the color of my choice. Really well made ice tray and works perfectly for most water bottles. No weird plastic odor. Love that it has a well fitting cover. Highly recommend.
