The Fusionbrand IceOrb, vertical ice cube maker, is the first vertical ice tray that makes, chills, serves and stores. The Iceorb will make 21 cubes of ice on its vertical wall and will store up to 51 cubes. Simply remove the inner bucket and fill the orb with water to the indicated fill line. Place bucket back in the orb (displacing the water), place lid on and pop into the freezer. Once frozen, again pull out the bucket, pop the ice cubes out of the wall and either use, or store inside the bucket. More ice cubes can be made at this time. The inside of the orb is airtight and therefore odor free! The orb doubles as a wine bucket or as a serving vessel. Use as a cooler to keep cold foods fresh while serving…great for ice cream. The lid can be placed under the orb to catch condensation. The orb is top rack dishwasher safe.

Sure this item is sort of a cool idea...but does it perform well? NO. It's simply a novelty. Inner bucket is difficult to remove, ice cubes are very small(it makes enough ice for about 4 glasses), lid is not a tight fit on the bucket = not a good ice maker.
I returned mine.

The Ice cubes are a perfect size and the tray saves space.. the extra storage is bonus! It is slightly hard to get the ice out on the first few tries but once you know how its a lot easier after the plastic loosens up. It is a great conversation piece for your freezer! not to mention it can hold a bottle of Wine! I seriously don't need or care bout that feature BUT I know a lot of people that would love it! I liked it and use it so much now i have ordered a Second one!

yup, i like it! yeah, getting the ice out can be a bit tricky, but i love how compact and versatile it is. my method for ice removal is: let it sit for a minute or so; squeeze all around the top to break up the ice on the sides; start pushing on the bottom. i use a corner of the counter to get started. and then, POP! i have ice!

This Ice Orb tray has been the solution to our problem. We never have enough room to put an ice cube tray and this has solved that. It don't even have to be sitting up right in the freezer. There is a fill line on the container to fill it up to, but I would go a little below that line because when you go right to it, it overflows a little bit leaving a little water to ice up and make it harder to get the container out. Doesn't hold 2 trays full of ice inside but holds probably 1.5 trays. Definitely worth buy! Don't wait..BUY NOW!

i've been trying to give this thing a chance but i've given up. like most of the negative reviews, i too have a problem removing the container. and it doesn't make enough ice in one go, 3 tall drinks and you've used up that batch of ice. i bought some standard generic ice trays (like the one's that your grandparents used) and they are so much easier to use, make twice as much ice and costs $1.50 per tray. i guess if you want cute little ice cubes, like to keep making ice, don't mind taking time to get them out and want to spend 4 times more than a generic tray then this is the one for you.
