It takes less time to just fill up the ice cube tray. You just fill it up with water and put it in the freezer. No need to squeeze and check for gaps, suctions, Bigfoot etc
That's the point though some pepole like haveing lots of small ice cubes instead of large ones. This is one of the better ways to make small ones. Most ways to make small cubes suck.
I agree wholeheartedly. This occupies too much space and the cubes are too tiny. If a strong guy has problems squeezing this thing then a person with limits won't be able to.
I loved his review. He's saying it's difficult. He says it's problematic. I commented that I felt stupid for buying one from an Instagram click-through and was sorry that I wasted my money! I saw his video after my unfortunate purchase. But he's done a great job in this series and test products such as this waste of my money. He underscores the points needed to make the decision to avoid it. And he's got the real product. Mine was some sort of rip off similar but not same which added to the failure and my lesson has been learned! Fantastic video channel here.
Actually the TH-cam algorithm promotes videos with higher levels of engagement. Likes or dislikes don’t matter as long as there’s someone clicking something. That’s why everyone tells you to like, favorite, comment, and subscribe- to get more views on their video because there’s a higher engagement. They don’t take his money away or send it to the dark reaches of TH-cam. Videos with a high dislike ratio still get views and it’s because there’s engagement
Kodopuna I have to disagree. Think about how much space four of those would take up in your freezer. Opposed to having four ice trays. Sure they are longer, but you can stack them on top of each other. Then once you’re water is frozen you can put other things on top of the trays. So having really thought about it now in detail. The fact that you can stack trays makes my statement true, not an opinion. Also there is the fact that you get far more ice from the trays.
Could someone please explain to me why this guy has so many dislikes on his videos? like nearly 1/3rd dislikes I only found this guy yesterday but most of his videos has this... but I cant figure out why... His videos seems pretty harmless and are pretty good if you've got nothing to watch, I just have no clue why people are disliking him.
I appreciate you reading instructions on products. Unlike some people who give bad review and don’t even read the instructions. Thank you for being a smart person.
Thank you! I have seen a few other reviewers just tear into a product without reading the instructions, which isn't useful at all! I appreciate the comment!
lauren thomas me too. bc I love lots of space in my freezer even though iys huge anyways. I would have probably thrown the thing at the wall. I'm not that patient for ice
This looks like WAY more damn effort than it is worth. So much work and struggling to make ice.. I have no problems using my old fashion cheap plastic icecube tray that came with my fridge - makes perfectly fine icecubes that take me only a few seconds to take out... this looks exhausting on the other hand.
I still have old metal trays with the metal lever you lift to break the ice from the metal dividers. They work just fine...as long as your hands are not wet when you pull the tray out....LOL And as mentioned...that thing looks like a lot of work just to make ice.
StormyPeak My grandma still uses those, I'm 22 and it still scares me. I feel like I'm going to lose a finger when I use it, not to mention I really don't know how to use it.
I don't think it's worth it. 1 batch at a time and the small cubes will melt faster. Not to mention the effort to get the center out. Thanks for the video though. Now I know not to get one of those.
TheKingGamer117 first off, I find your price questionable, but even if it’s true you then have to deal with storing 20 pounds of ice, and that takes up a lot of freezer space.
Just discovered you- loving your honest vids. Not boring or useless like others. I’m a chef, and also a infomercial junkie (especially now that Amazon makes the products so much more accessible), which can be a bad combo😂. Thanks for all your time and useful feedback!
I am so glad you did this test! Was planning on buying one. I love using the plastic bag ice cube maker - you fill with water, tie the top and freeze. Easy to do and easy to get the ice out. Will not be wasting money on the ice genie
Captain Knucklehead would have you believe he made millions out of this invention, rather than having actually just bankrupted everyone in his immediate family.
@@Boomie789 true - it was a mistake from conception - seemed like a good idea, but didn't work out in reality. But instead of trying the prototype out and figuring out it wasn't gonna work, they filmed the cool parts (cracking the icecubes out after the inner part was out), and try to sell it anyway. What is wrong with this world? I'd wish people would only make and sell stuff that actually works! :-(
Thing is, every single one of these I've seen has the centre piece as a bucket. I have one and while it doesn't make a ton of ice, it makes it fast. And I like how the ice bucket is sealed in the freezer instead of open trays.
As someone who uses lots of ice and does not have an automated ice maker...this seems like too much work for a small amount of tiny ice cubes. It also looks like it's take up a bunch of space in the freezer compard to a traditional ice tray.
Congratulations on being the first and only reviewer to actually show the squeezing and removal of the cubes! Everybody else skips that part. And they all complain about the difficult lid placement and water leaking to the bottom in refills with stored ice. The Ice Genie may still not be worth it but I would skip the lid and on each refill put the cubes in a separate container. My real complaint would be the size of the Ice Genie itself. It takes up a lot of real estate in the freezer especially compared to stacking ice cube trays.
You are making your own ice using this, but you never watch most of the videos you comment on. You just try to think up a silly remark relating to the title and move on to the next video. Never seen him reply, ever.
Who would even approve this invention for market? I would think it would be difficult to get your invention to store shelves. I'm just shocked that this was even mass produced lol. Did anyone even test this thing? It's flawed on so many levels.
Infomercial products don't have to work, they just have to sell. Someone probably made hundreds of thousands of dollars off this piece of crap. Even if it doesn't survive a second generation, it served its purpose.
Jason F. Hello yeah you would have to be in good shape to do this or at least be below the age of 60 how was an old lady gonna do that shit and its size is hilarious it makes so little ice but yeah it takes up more room than probably three ice trays because of its shape.
Ameer ikr, and I was wondering why the party popper emoji, and when he put the genie emoji and then said genie, it’s like he’s saying “The ice genie genie is junk” like wtf lmfao😂
I personally don’t use ice in my drinks, but wow that ice genie seems like a lot of work. However, the sounds it made when you were trying to get the ice out of it 😱 sooo fantastic. I’d buy it just for that reason 😂
You don't use ice in your drinks?! What? Are you some kind of alien? You just drink warn fluids...? I can't wrap my head around this... Grab a beverage from the fridge, it's cold-ish, then after 10-15 minutes it's room temp & you what? Just drink it warm....? Not sure why this messes with my mind this badly but I'm blown away by this....
This absolutely isn't a big deal at all in the grand scheme but I cannot grasp this concept.... What about at a restaurant? Or the cinema? Do you ever drink ICED coffee? Or tea?
You certainly gave that product a fair shake. You put in a lot more effort than I would have. Thanks a bunch, you saved me the headache of buying one of these.
An epic fail. The small cubes would melt too fast in a drink, it takes too much time and effort, doesn't make enough ice fast enough. I thought it might be OK to use for a drink mug if you just left the ice in it but then I noticed the white part is just a cylinder. Those trays emptied faster than it took you to even get the white part out.
This runescape bot actually made it out of the vicious circle that used to be his life. Now he makes review videos. I'm glad people can change their lives around. Great review by the way.
I have an ice Genie and I make the ice and then put it in the regular ice holder (comes with the fridge) along with the other ice trays that I have. We like the ice Genie because we can put the ice in our water bottles, the other ice is too big. Also, even though it says to check the cylinder with your hand, if you press down (at least with mine) until it clicks, then there is no problem. There are pro's and cons, but the pro's are the tiny ice cubes and if you have a container to put the ice cubes in, then there is no hassle getting the cylinder out (even with my arthritic fingers. Great video, my first time was easier because of your video.
You could have gone to Target or Walmart and gotten a 4-pk of silicone ice cube trays (that make use cubes to fit reusable water bottles) for $5. This contraption is a waste.
Blox117 That makes no sense. Don't get frustrated just because no one else agrees with you. That's no reason to lash out - misdirected aggression solves nothing.
I like your video and how thoroughly you presented the info. The product however is too much work especially if you have small hands. The volume of ice produced is not worth the effort.
My hands feel the cold and pain when I watch you struggling with the not-so-genious Genie. Thank you so much for suffering through this so we don't have to!
83 reviews on amazon, and not one of them positive. Sometimes when you try to reinvent the wheel, you end up just making a square monstrosity that goes nowhere.
Seems like gadgets rarely works as advertised. I often wonder if the makers of these products reason that if enough people buy it one time, and only a small percentage of those people return it they’ve made a profit. P.S. Anybody remember the old metal ice cube tray with a matching metal divider insert? Other then freezing your hand off those were the best.
Man, James. I was so excited when I saw this thumbnail. I am so happy you reviewed it. I almost bought one. Now, not so much. Ugh -_-' It looks like such a hassle. Great video though!!! Thanks so much!!
Although I agree it’s a bit difficult to manage, personally I enjoy my drinks with crushed ice more than cubed. I don’t use ice a lot so I think for me this is a good product. I also agree that it’s nice to have a lid. That freezer smell has ruined plenty of my beverages. Nice review.
Sig Pilot it’s more cost effective in the long run to get an ice tray plus like half the of the bag of ice melts and you end up with big chunks of ice once you freeze it again basically it’s inconvenient.
I bought one. Never used it until last week, and lost the instructions to it. Thanks for showing me how to remove the center separator. I didn't break the ice first, and it broke out super easy. I do wish the center piece had a bottom. For someone who doesn't use much ice, this is perfect, and I really like the smaller cubes. More surface area in the drink cools it down much faster. Then again, who drinks their beer with ice in it :P
James - I just learned today (after seeing it) that my parents bought one of these 😫 I wish they would have asked me if I knew anything about them so I could have shown them your review.
He's doing it wrong. You dump the fist batch into a separate container to be kept frozen until the subsequent batches are made. THEN pour the ice into the Genie for storage in freezer.
Cathy Childs Morrison this thing is advertised as 'space saving', as apparently those old fashioned long, shallow ice cube trays take up the whole freezer or whatever. So, if you have to dump the ice into a second container while freezing more batches, it's not space saving. There's also a high chance of all that loose ice then sticking together in a useless lump, which in fact did happen. James is also following their instructions, so if he's doing it "wrong" it's THEIR fault, not his!
I watched this video because I was going to buy an Ice Genie, but that's so much work it's easier to buy ice trays. My issue is I don't have room in my freezer for the ice trays. Maybe I'll get a counter top ice make instead. Great video!!!!
Thank you for your reviews, Im actually treated with some weird angry managment technique in which I (in order to "manage my anger" better) need to send constructive criticism to brands or product makers, so your videos are my therapy, if the products sucks I just go send them crappy stuff about their products! Thanks to you Im a happy(ish) person.
Eduardo Black Wow, that's a new technique I've never heard before. I like it. Would it be good to write letters to politicians? Seems possibly another great avenue to channel angst toward. Of course, only to advocate for causes you believe in.
6 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Elaine Marie hahaha yeees! I used to do that but it was before therapy, only bad things.
Eduardo Black Ah ha! I got to thinking, maybe that wasn't a good idea, afterall. Then I was thinking you could hire out your services to ghost write salty letters to exes for partners who were done wrong. I actually wonder if you can parlay your energy into a business and made some extra dough. You have a great sense of humor, sounds like you're healing well.
A textbook example of over-engineering, it's not even a decent novelty product. Also, that's quite the slick setup you've got there for your reviews. I think you had about 8000 subscribers when I started following your channel, it's been very neat watching your channel develop.
I got one of these for xmas but ended up giving it to my GF. She lives in a small studio right now with a smaller than normal fridge, using this actually saves her a lot of space since she can't really fit normal ice cube trays and have room for food. She really likes having the already frozen ice and the water to be frozen in the same space. But yea, if you have a full sized fridge you dont need this, it's only real advantage is saving space
It's like reinventing the wheel by making it less round and requiring more parts.
You just made me think of Solar Freaking Roadways
Like apple
3x the work
1/2 the ice production
4x the cost

This seems way more complicated and frustrating than a regular ice cube tray.
Especially if you consider that silicone ice cube trays (which is all this product really is, albeit an especially low volume model) also exist.
That's probably right, but, he looks like a wimp too!
@@whackphuck Always one hater online. Useless comment.
Making ice should not require instructions....
@@whackphuck Did you expect him to slam it into his forehead like a beer can? 😁😂
This product is a complete failure its to much hard work to make small ice cubes and its too time consuming completely inefficient
and they look ugly. Part of the enjoyment behind ice cubes, is having that perfect uniform cube.
That's the point though some pepole like haveing lots of small ice cubes instead of large ones. This is one of the better ways to make small ones. Most ways to make small cubes suck.
The ice cube bags make small cubes and they're pretty darn simple...
LittleFilms All kinds of ice cube trays for small ice cubes now for a lot less work and money.
theendofit you can just get a smaller tray I have one it works fine
Yeah, I'm just gonna stick with my normal ice tray
Same.
Yeah. A genie should make things easier - implication being magic. So, no.
i have a refrigerator that makes ice for 4 years and all i need to do is press the button lol

I’m gonna stuck with keeping my drink cold in the refrigerator lol . No ice needed lol
I agree wholeheartedly. This occupies too much space and the cubes are too tiny. If a strong guy has problems squeezing this thing then a person with limits won't be able to.
I could NEVER squeeze that thing with my tiny cookie grabbers. 😒

For only one glass*
Nopparuj either way is acceptable.
What I’m trying to say is this product is very inefficient, you waste time getting less than one cup of ice.
Hook me up with some 0 guage GP :)
Nopparuj you try to make yourself sound smart buy you're just a bit idiotic bud
I’ve got one of those fridges that makes ice why did I watch this
well those things run out of ice or clog up or break
Fred Wilson it has never done that, it was pretty expensive
Me too!!

Waste a lot of space on the freezer
If the center is empty it’s a lot of wasted space in the freezer.
The idea is you store previously created ice in the center so it's not wasted space. Still a horribly designed product.
Horrible engineering
It's more like a hand workout than ice cube maker.

You don't use ice in your drinks?! What? Are you some kind of alien? You just drink warn fluids...? I can't wrap my head around this... Grab a beverage from the fridge, it's cold-ish, then after 10-15 minutes it's room temp & you what? Just drink it warm....? Not sure why this messes with my mind this badly but I'm blown away by this....
This absolutely isn't a big deal at all in the grand scheme but I cannot grasp this concept.... What about at a restaurant? Or the cinema? Do you ever drink ICED coffee? Or tea?
I'm stumped... I want a big glass of ice water right now just to reset my brain! I'm not letting this go.... What is going on!?
Unless this comes with someone like you to squeeze it, it 's too much for my arthritic hands
You certainly gave that product a fair shake. You put in a lot more effort than I would have. Thanks a bunch, you saved me the headache of buying one of these.
An epic fail. The small cubes would melt too fast in a drink, it takes too much time and effort, doesn't make enough ice fast enough. I thought it might be OK to use for a drink mug if you just left the ice in it but then I noticed the white part is just a cylinder. Those trays emptied faster than it took you to even get the white part out.
This runescape bot actually made it out of the vicious circle that used to be his life. Now he makes review videos. I'm glad people can change their lives around. Great review by the way.
G00BY found you!

A contender for the #1 spot in the 2018 worst products video for sure.
Hah I was just telling a friend that this is almost a lock for that list!
Chef D #2 maybe. The Juciero Bluetooth juicer has the #1 spot for sure.
I have an ice Genie and I make the ice and then put it in the regular ice holder (comes with the fridge) along with the other ice trays that I have. We like the ice Genie because we can put the ice in our water bottles, the other ice is too big. Also, even though it says to check the cylinder with your hand, if you press down (at least with mine) until it clicks, then there is no problem. There are pro's and cons, but the pro's are the tiny ice cubes and if you have a container to put the ice cubes in, then there is no hassle getting the cylinder out (even with my arthritic fingers. Great video, my first time was easier because of your video.
You could have gone to Target or Walmart and gotten a 4-pk of silicone ice cube trays (that make use cubes to fit reusable water bottles) for $5. This contraption is a waste.
It looks like a large flesh light
Well we know it's not for your lil willy!!
@A B do u know what a flesh light is? Honestly
thats what i was thinking
lamplava wow lol
@@johnranieri7247 clearly it's designed for Ron White, the comedian; he's previously described his shlong as a "wheel of cheese". 👌👌👌
Meh, I'll stick with my regular ice cube trays. That's way too much work. Plus those small cubes would melt sooo much faster!
melting faster also means the rate of heat transfer increases so that is actually a good thing
Blox117 No, it's not. It means your drink gets watered down faster.
yes, just keep pressing the thumbs up button just to show how idiotic you are.
Blox117 That makes no sense. Don't get frustrated just because no one else agrees with you. That's no reason to lash out - misdirected aggression solves nothing.
Blox117
Oh, yeah, I love a watery drink...
I am so happy I watched this video because I was just about to purchase from Amazon. I will not be buying this product.
THANK YOU! I've totally been wanting to buy this, but there is no way I'll be able to squeeze it that hard. Saved me dollars!
I like your video and how thoroughly you presented the info. The product however is too much work especially if you have small hands. The volume of ice produced is not worth the effort.
KILLIN IT with these videos! You're a machine!
Hah I like your way of looking at things!
Freakin' Reviews I've legit watched every one of your videos lmao. I don't even remember how I found your channel!
I don't think I could even watch all of my videos! haha.
Right
What kind of deranged psychopath, thought to invent something like this. A madman.
My hands feel the cold and pain when I watch you struggling with the not-so-genious Genie. Thank you so much for suffering through this so we don't have to!
"not-so-genious"
genius
Here in Phoenix (and probably where you are in LV) we just get a bag of ice at McDonald's for $1 - available year round. Saves time and lasts a while
I wouldn't use that even if it was free. It might be decent as a planter pot though.
83 reviews on amazon, and not one of them positive. Sometimes when you try to reinvent the wheel, you end up just making a square monstrosity that goes nowhere.
Your fingers look like you have frostbite now 😂😂
Not worth it! Great review!
yeah, what u said...
thanks for this review, i almost bought this thing
Uwe Bindewald dumb bitch
This is not Next Gen, This is like century ago product....
ice cube trays:: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
Lots of work for not a lot of ice
You know what's even easier?.....buying a bag of ice for $1 at the store. Tons more ice, way less time and hassle. ❄️⛸️💧
But great review. 😉
A bag of ice for $1.00 ?
Bagged ice is more like $2 or $3
Or 1 dollar ice trays with unlimited ice.
10 cents in my country
@@joegallicchio26 not at the dollar store 😂
James is cooler than ice!
Awesome! Now I only have to wait 4 days for a cup of ice. Boy what a time to be alive!
Atrocious design. The idea behind it could have been executed in an actually practical way.
Alex It still can Alex, have at it 🐣
"I wish there was an easier way to make ice" said no one ever. Nice and thorough review, James!
I'll buy a bag of ice and call it a day!!😉 thanks for the review!! 😁😁😁
Hi!!! Yes it was very hard for me to get the center part out. Didnt make alot of cubes. I could not squeeze hard enough.
Seems like gadgets rarely works as advertised. I often wonder if the makers of these products reason that if enough people buy it one time, and only a small percentage of those people return it they’ve made a profit.
P.S. Anybody remember the old metal ice cube tray with a matching metal divider insert? Other then freezing your hand off those were the best.
Man, James. I was so excited when I saw this thumbnail. I am so happy you reviewed it. I almost bought one. Now, not so much. Ugh -_-' It looks like such a hassle. Great video though!!! Thanks so much!!
Always good to hear from you Ashley! Thank you!
I saw this on your Instagram I couldn’t wait till you posted it !! 😭😊😊😊😊
This has been the most informative review I've seen so far... Thank you so much..
Although I agree it’s a bit difficult to manage, personally I enjoy my drinks with crushed ice more than cubed. I don’t use ice a lot so I think for me this is a good product. I also agree that it’s nice to have a lid. That freezer smell has ruined plenty of my beverages. Nice review.
This product is so contemptible, it fills me with rage.
I think Ill just stick with buying bags of ice for a $1
Chris Fayte or just get a tray, then u don't gotta go 2 the store
Ya, because getting a bag of ice when you're already at the store for other things is just SO difficult.
Sig Pilot it’s more cost effective in the long run to get an ice tray plus like half the of the bag of ice melts and you end up with big chunks of ice once you freeze it again basically it’s inconvenient.
Sig Pilot yeah for people like me who would rather avoid people it is
Luxxer123 yeah but if you need to go the store a bag of ice would be perfect and it’s only 1 dollar.
I bought one. Never used it until last week, and lost the instructions to it. Thanks for showing me how to remove the center separator. I didn't break the ice first, and it broke out super easy. I do wish the center piece had a bottom. For someone who doesn't use much ice, this is perfect, and I really like the smaller cubes. More surface area in the drink cools it down much faster. Then again, who drinks their beer with ice in it :P
James - I just learned today (after seeing it) that my parents bought one of these 😫
I wish they would have asked me if I knew anything about them so I could have shown them your review.
Hey child, do you know anything about ice cube makers?
He's doing it wrong. You dump the fist batch into a separate container to be kept frozen until the subsequent batches are made. THEN pour the ice into the Genie for storage in freezer.
Cathy Childs Morrison this thing is advertised as 'space saving', as apparently those old fashioned long, shallow ice cube trays take up the whole freezer or whatever. So, if you have to dump the ice into a second container while freezing more batches, it's not space saving.
There's also a high chance of all that loose ice then sticking together in a useless lump, which in fact did happen.
James is also following their instructions, so if he's doing it "wrong" it's THEIR fault, not his!
Wouldnt take this thing if it was free.
hawaiidispenser hahahahahah 😂
I would
I would, but will use it as a storage
It's a good idea but horrible execution.
FlowUrbanFlow What exactly is the good idea?
Angelo The concept.
what concept
It's a stupid idea and even worse execution.
FlowUrbanFlow inventor is walking on thin ice
I watched this video because I was going to buy an Ice Genie, but that's so much work it's easier to buy ice trays. My issue is I don't have room in my freezer for the ice trays. Maybe I'll get a counter top ice make instead. Great video!!!!
So thoroughly demo"d thanks for saving us all $$$
Thank you for your reviews, Im actually treated with some weird angry managment technique in which I (in order to "manage my anger" better) need to send constructive criticism to brands or product makers, so your videos are my therapy, if the products sucks I just go send them crappy stuff about their products!
Thanks to you Im a happy(ish) person.
Eduardo Black
Wow, that's a new technique I've never heard before. I like it.
Would it be good to write letters to politicians? Seems possibly another great avenue to channel angst toward. Of course, only to advocate for causes you believe in.
Elaine Marie hahaha yeees! I used to do that but it was before therapy, only bad things.
Eduardo Black
Ah ha! I got to thinking, maybe that wasn't a good idea, afterall.
Then I was thinking you could hire out your services to ghost write salty letters to exes for partners who were done wrong. I actually wonder if you can parlay your energy into a business and made some extra dough.
You have a great sense of humor, sounds like you're healing well.
Elaine Marie thanks! Haha
A textbook example of over-engineering, it's not even a decent novelty product. Also, that's quite the slick setup you've got there for your reviews. I think you had about 8000 subscribers when I started following your channel, it's been very neat watching your channel develop.
I got one of these for xmas but ended up giving it to my GF.
She lives in a small studio right now with a smaller than normal fridge, using this actually saves her a lot of space since she can't really fit normal ice cube trays and have room for food. She really likes having the already frozen ice and the water to be frozen in the same space.
But yea, if you have a full sized fridge you dont need this, it's only real advantage is saving space
