It does not belong on this shelf

Six items here freeze water: two silicone trays, a sphere mold, a clear-ice mold and two flower-ice bucket molds.

This is a bucket. A clear plastic one with a light in it, sold five at a time.

And what it is good at

Telling you what fits. Five different load figures, dimensions, weight and capacity — more hard numbers than the $35 mold two rows up publishes about anything at all.

At $19.80 a bucket it is a party purchase, and it will chill five tables while the molds on this shelf chill five glasses.

What readers ask us

Why is it on a mold shelf?

Because it is bar ice equipment, and it is not a mold. The six other items here freeze water into a shape; this is a plastic tub that holds the result, with a light in the base. Nothing here substitutes for it and it substitutes for nothing here.

What does 5 liters hold?

The listing is unusually specific: at least two 750 ml bottles, six 330 ml bottles, four wine bottles, eight cans, or three large champagne bottles. That is more detail about capacity than any mold on this shelf publishes about anything.

Batteries or mains?

Two AA cells per bucket, so ten cells for the set. No charging, no cable, and nothing to go flat in storage — which for an object used at parties is the right choice.

    Four separate 6 cm (2.4 in) round ice molds, the largest sphere size confirmed in this comparison and backed by a substantial number of buyer reviews. Confirmed live with real pricing on Amazon.fr and .de.

    Set size
    4 individual molds

    Marketing claim
    Marketed for producing clear ice cubes
    • 6 cm (2.4 in) is the largest sphere size confirmed among the ice molds compared in this family, slower melting still than the 5 cm (2 in) HONYAO mold
    • Substantial number of buyer reviews, useful evidence for real-world performance
    • Genuinely clear ice — free of the cloudy core standard freezing produces — depends on directional freezing technique, not just the mold shape; the listing's clarity marketing should be read as a description of intent, not a guarantee
