There are many competing products. I studied the reviews and compared the prices. I went with this one after verifying it would fit in my bottom freezer drawer. Now I get 4 beautiful clear ice balls every 36 hours. I use the filtered water from my refrigerator water dispenser. The ice comes out crystal clear. I was afraid it was going to be hard to get the mold out, but I find it fairly easy and can see where letting it thaw a little would help people having trouble. I read up on "tempering" the ice. I keep my alcohol in the freezer and the refrigerator, so it seems like I don't have to use tempering to keep the ice from cracking when I pour the liquid over it. But I have inadvertently allowed a little time at room temperature before pouring, so maybe I am partially tempering my ice. This works great with old fashioneds and whiskey sours :)

I researched multiple different ice ball makers on Amazon and decided on this one as the best model for the price. I have used it several times and it really works well. I just used regular room temperature tap water and was very pleased with the results. I did have to adjust the time required in the freezer. I tried 37 hours the first time and that was too short to get the balls completely frozen on the bottom. Turns out my freezer requires about 41 hours. The extra time is probably based on the settings I am using in my freezer. On the plus side, the slower freeze probably allows the ice balls to be more clear. Also takes a little practice to get the rubber mold out of the plastic sleeve but just work it back and forth from both sides and it will come out. Initially, I wasn't sure if I was better off getting the model that makes 2 or 4 ice balls. Based on how long it takes in my freezer, I am very happy with the unit that makes 4 ice balls. Overall, very nice product to use for yourself or give as a gift to someone who drinks whiskey/bourbon.

Simple yet effective - makes crystal clear ice spheres - look great in cocktails.
