I love the idea of a durable ice cube tray. I've quite accidentally destroyed many plastic ones over the years, and I grow tired of adding more stuff into landfills needlessly. When i saw this, it was elated to think I'd have something that would be quite durable.
I'm torn about this product, for i like the concept. For 38 dollars with shipping, this thing should be built like a tank. Given how it's built, it should be [...] So I've given it 3 stars for this reason. The lever/cube mechanism (quality) is far too weak and thin---after all, i was looking for durability and longevity. I'm not confident that it will last for decades unless treated quite cautiously. In my first few trays and testing, I've put a sleight bend into the cube separators where the lever puts pressure on it. *It can be bent back* but anytime metal is flexed to the point of distortion, and flexed back, eventually it will crack if it happens enough. Now that i know, i can be more cautious with it, but as i said, it's not built like it should be for the price.
Dimensions of tray interior where cubes are made: 4x10x1 (but as i said, fill to only half full, so 4x10x0.5) Smaller than i would have estimated from pictures, but still adequate in my opinion.
No instructions: A Recommended fill level would be nice. After my own little testing, I don't recommend over half full, maybe a bit less.
Freeze it with the lever down, as the description says. For someone with grip issues, do not freeze it with the lever up and try to push it down to separate cubes--the lever is not designed for stress in that direction.
One more thing: being all metal, I feel it certainly makes solid cubes faster than plastic trays ever will. As a single person, with a small cube bucket, i feel no need for more than one of these trays.

I have an ice maker in my refrigerator, but it's extremely old (and plastic). This is an awesome ice cube tray, and no more plastic! It looks beautiful; it works beautiful. I've made tons of ice cubes with it, and will continue to do so. I keep my ice cubes in a stainless steel loaf-type pan, so I just make the ice cubes whenever it starts to get low. I don't think I'll ever need two trays. If for some reason I do, I'll get another one of these. This would also make a great gift!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this ice cube tray because I was tired of using plastic or silicone ice cube trays that made my ice cubes taste funky. On that count, this tray has delivered fantastically well--my ice cubes taste great! The water also freezes super fast. I transfer the cubes from this tray into an enclosed container in my freezer, to prevent evaporation, retain flavor, and to keep more cubes on hand.
The handle for removing the cubes was very stiff the first time I tried to use it, and the metal was so cold, it actually cut my skin, so I'd recommend using a towel or gloves the first few times. After that, it does loosen up, but is still sturdy.
I don't get whole ice cubes--it's more like big chunks with a lot of crushed ice.
I think the price is too high for an ice cube tray--it should cost about half as much, but it's commensurately priced with all other stainless steel ice cube trays that I looked for, so I doubt you'll find a cheaper stainless steel tray anywhere else. You can find cheaper metal trays for about $8, but they'll be made out of aluminum, which is arguably less safe than stainless steel.
Overall, I am satisfied with this product.

Heavy Duty Heirloom Quality
This thing could be passed on to your daughter and her daughter. It has weight and as long as you don't overfill the mechanism works as expected.
