The OXO Good Grips system is designed with a focus on user ergonomics and freezer organization. The chassis is constructed from high-density polypropylene, providing the necessary structural rigidity to resist bowing under the weight of water. This sturdy frame allows for multiple units to be stacked vertically without the bottom trays deforming, which is a significant advantage for busy households with limited freezer space.
A notable feature is the sliding silicone lid, which serves as a practical barrier against freezer odors. Specifications indicate that this friction-fit track accommodates minor frost buildup without jamming, though overfilling the tray can interfere with the lid’s ability to glide. The rounded cube shape is engineered to reduce surface area adhesion, allowing the ice to be released with minimal physical effort compared to traditional flat-bottomed plastic trays.
While the tray is built to handle daily household use, the capacity is limited to 14 cubes per unit. The material integrity is rated high for sub-zero environments, though the lid can become difficult to slide if significant ice crystals form in the tracks. This unit is a practical choice for those who prioritize clean-tasting ice and organized storage over large-volume production.
For those who require a much larger quantity of ice in a single batch, the Optish 99-piece system offers a higher volume alternative.
