Customer Reviews for VEVOR Ice Ball Press Kit Ice Ball Maker 2.4"/60mm Clear Sphere Whiskeys Scot

Do not buy anything from Vevor. First ice ball ok but the third took over 15 minutes and Vecor would not respond. Their customer service not good.

This device makes a perfectly smooth round ball. First block of ice is melted fast and the mold becomes cold. I run the mold under water to warm it up for making the second ball otherwise it takes longer to form the secind ball. Note if you have hard water, dry off the mold after use. Hard water spots will dry on the mold and feel rough which could affect the performance of making a ball.

We ended up buying a large ice tray to use for this machine. It works great! It is quick in making the ball, guests love it and it melts slow.

It works flawlessly, even better than ice ball mold molds because those leave seams around the circumference. The ice balls that come out of this thing are seamless, perfect spheres as long as your ice block is big enough. As for how to source such ice, simply use an insulated 20oz tumbler, fill about 80% full, leave in your freezer with no lid for about 24-30 hours, let thaw long enough to release the ice from the interior cylinder walls (about 30-45 min); and voila, you have an ice cylinder ready to be pressed into a sphere. If you do it right -- that is, don't let the water in the tumblers freeze all the way to the bottom -- your cylinders will come out crystal-clear and yield crystal-clear spheres.

Works fantastic, its amazing how quickly the ice melts to form the ball, which is quite large. My only improvement recommendation would be to lift the base a few mm off the surface it sits on to allow the water to escape through the lower hole. A couple of little clear rubber feet is all it needs. These things cost almost 5x as much on "other" sites. Get this one. The ice ball looks great in a neat spirit and melts slower over a longer period of time as well. Learn to make clear ice and take it to the next level.
