My husband and I love these giant 2-inch silicone ice cube trays and whine like babies when one or the other of us forgets to promptly refill it after taking out the last ice cube. We sometimes relax with an end of the day scotch and soda, which we leisurely sip as we discuss our respective days. Our toddies no longer become watered down because we don't sip faster than the ice melts. Of course it takes a bit longer for the cubes to freeze thoroughly, but if I fill the tray with water by 10 AM they are set to go by 4 or 5PM, easy.
Speaking of easy, the only downside is that the cubes take effort to pop from the tray. I turn the tray upside down and use all my strength to force cubes out, using the balls of my thumbs to push on the bottom of the cube. It seems, however, that cubes that are not filled with water completely up to the top are easier for me to pop out when frozen. (Hubby doesn't have to struggle as much as I do to get the cubes out of the tray.) That aside, we both love the tray and would cringe to have to go back to regular-sized ice cubes for toddies. Amazing as it seems, even when frozen the trays remain supple and soft. At first I was hesitant to wring and twist the tray around when removing the cubes - afraid that the tray would tear or split - but no. These silicone trays are very durable and hold up well under any abuse we give them when removing the cubes. JULY 10, 2016 UPDATE: the trays are holding up very well under regular use, and it is much easier now for me to remove the cubes. Perhaps part of the problem was hesitating to really wring and twist the tray, afraid that it would tear. But this hasn't happened and hubby and I are both very happy with how the tray is holding up.
NOTE: one reviewer complained that her giant cubes appeared cloudy. This wouldn't be due to the tray itself, but rather to quality of water being used to make the cubes. We always use distilled water for drinking anyway, so our cubes are lovely.
PROS
produces huge cubes that help omit water dilution in the drink
silicone material remains supple even when cubes are frozen, which helps in efforts to remove the cubes
silicone tray material is BPA free and FDA approved
one giant cube can last through more than one drink
CONS
some persons may find removing the cubes from the tray to be a bit of a challenge
you risk becoming spoiled - once you begin using these giant cubes in your end-of-the-day toddy, you'll no longer be satisfied with ordinary-sized cubes

These trays make the biggest ice cubes I've ever seen. If you live in a hot climate as I do, you'll definitely appreciate these trays. I take a large double-wall insulated cup to work every morning filled with either sweet tea or cold brewed iced coffee. The ice cubes I get from the fridge do not last very long. But these cubes are jumbo sized and last a good long while. Now you may be thinking that your beverage will be watered down, and you're correct. But when I consider how often I have to add the wimpy refrigerator cubes to my drink to keep it cold, I think it's about the same. I brew extra strong tea and coffee to make up for the melting ice. And in the evening when I mix an adult beverage, I simply add extra alcohol! But my beverage stays cold even in the South Texas heat! Trust me, you'll love these ice trays as much as I do. Check out the two pictures for a comparison; I used a standard 5oz. can of tuna for scale. Oh, one more thing, to the people complaining about how they can't get the cubes out of the tray, I cannot imagine how you've managed to survive in this world. Seriously, it's just a freaking ice cube tray, not a Rubik's Cube!
