Our review
Every hard plastic ice tray I've owned ends the same way: twisting it until a cube cracks free, or running it under the tap. This DOQAUS set just flexes. Fill a tray, freeze it, and each cube pops out of its own silicone well with one push from underneath — no prying, no twisting.
It's a full little system rather than a lone tray: four stackable trays, a storage bin and a scoop, so once the cubes are out they have somewhere to live and the trays go back to refilling. The lids let you stack them in the freezer and keep the ice from picking up last night's leftovers as a flavour. With 4.5 stars across more than 13,000 ratings, most people love it for exactly those reasons. The honest caveat, echoed in the reviews, is durability: the silicone and the bundled bin and scoop feel light, and a minority report a tray cracking over time, so treat it gently. The cubes also run on the smaller side — fine for everyday drinks, not for slow-melting cocktail cubes.

FAQ
Do the cubes really pop out without sticking?
Yes — pushing the silicone from underneath releases each cube individually without twisting or running it under water.
How big are the cubes?
On the smaller side — great for everyday drinks and water bottles, but not large slow-melting cocktail cubes.
Are the lids airtight?
They seal well enough to keep freezer smells out and allow stacking, but they're not fully airtight or spill-proof, so fill below the line.
Is it durable?
The trays handle normal use well, though the silicone and bundled bin/scoop feel light — a minority of buyers report a tray cracking over time, so handle gently.
