Yep, that’s all there is to it. Critical to clear the previous ice out of the bottom chamber, otherwise the air in your water will become trapped inside the part of the ice you want to use, causing imperfections in the clarity
Thanks for this video, all of the others are the wrong product or just don't really explain much. I was concerned there were holes at the bottom but this helped a lot.
Yes, by default one side will come up more. I tried rubber bands in multiple spots and found the best way to do it. Put it long ways across tray. Put a rubber band on the blue part right next to the black tray pull-up tabs and wrap it around the bottom. It will come up but not by much. Gap between black tray and blue silicone is normally not separated or if it is not by much.
Yeah, I mentioned in response to someone else that I should’ve done this, but I was just filming this quickly for a friend to show how it worked. Had no idea it was gonna get 5-figure views. Thanks for watching just the same!
Thanks for the video, just got me one of these. Other two comments make no sense, probably ppl don’t don’t drink nor understand why someone would buy this ice maker 🤦🏻♂️.
Thank you for watching! Yeah, had a good laugh at those other two. Gotta love someone who loses their mind over a running faucet and trips over themself in a race to miss the point 😅 Hope the ice maker works out for you. I’ve made over a hundred ice balls in mine by now and it’s done well. Using water out of a reverse osmosis definitely seems to improve the final product in my experience.
Thank you for watching! Distilled water will make a difference in any taste added by the ice (especially if you have bad tasting tap water where you live) but shouldn’t have much of an appreciable effect on the clarity, which is taken care of by the directional freezing. Hope it does well for you!
About to buy this for a late work gift exchange. Thanks for confirming they work almost as well as the Wintersmith mold for a fraction of the price. I pity the first two commenters. Just, just no.
They are when submerged in liquid. Right now you’re seeing a layer of frost on the outside surface because they are fresh out of the mold. If I would have been thinking about it at the time I would have submerged one of them in water to show this, but I was just filming a quick demo of how the box works for a friend. Thanks for watching!
This would defeat the purpose. The whole point of directional freezing is for the air (which is what makes the ice cloudy) to get pushed into the lower chamber as everything freezes from top down. If you leave the already-frozen ice in the lower chamber you’re going to end up with air in the part of the ice you want to use because there’s nowhere else for it to go.
This video has over 7,000 views. Doubt all those people watched a blank screen 🫤 Sounds like the problem is on your end. You should review your bad comment before posting… 🤭
This completely defeats the purpose of directional freezing. I explain this in the response to another comment here, but if you don’t understand what that means, then you don’t understand what you’re looking at. If you don’t understand what you’re looking at, please don’t criticize 🙂
Spark Notes: Just clean and fill it up through the hole until it overflows.

You should've rinsed off the ball that fell on the floor.
5 second rule

Thank you for watching! I posted this just to demonstrate the box for a friend. Crazy how many others found it helpful 👍
This clumsy guy is the reason we’re in a drought!! 😂😂
Ice is slippery! Who knew?
Also, I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure my faucet isn’t connected to the clouds over your house 😉😄
Thanks for watching!
Your mom isn’t in a drought though

She’s not, in fact it rained here today. Are you her neighbor?

That’s a good idea, will have to try that 👍
I normally just stack frozen meat on top of it in the freezer 😄
Mine just fills the entire thing up when I fill a hole. It makes no sense at all unless mine is defective.
Nope, that’s the way they work!
I just bought one at target and I struggle to find how this thing.
I came across your video
Thanks so much for posting it.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
How clear are the ice cubes, rinse one off so I can see!

goodness, how much water are you wasting just trying to melt the ice?
Wasting? I didn’t waste any. I USED it to melt the ice…just like you said 😉

I wish I knew it was a pain in the a. Before I bought it. It should come with a funnel to fill the tiny hole.
I use that little reverse osmosis faucet that you see here to fill it every time. I can’t imagine filling it with a full size faucet!
Thank you for the video i just got two of these, i am using distilled water

This is pathogenicly tragic
Not sure that word means what you think that word means
The balls are not Chrystal clear

leave below ice in mold. and get circle cubes only from mold. and next time just fill circles. every time.

I couldn’t see anything. You should review your bad video before posted.

You were so wasteful of water running to remove at ice in the tray, just leave them and just fill the water again!
