Tovolo, Ice System Sphere Clear

The Tovolo Sphere Clear Ice System has garnered a mixed reception from users, combining some praise with significant criticism. On one hand, it is applauded for its innovative design, which allows for the creation of clear ice spheres with comparatively minimal water waste. Its compact nature distinguishes this product from bulkier alternatives in the market, making it a feasible choice for home bartenders who desire aesthetically pleasing cubes for their cocktails. However, serious issues plague this product. Users report that the ice produced is not truly clear, with many noting that the top sphere, while clearer than the bottom, is still only about 75% so. The process requires significant trial and error, and many customers found themselves resorting to unconventional tactics, like using Tupperware to better insulate the mold, just to achieve some clarity. Furthermore, the Construction of the molds is criticized, with remarks about their clunky design, which tends to yield misshapen ice spheres rather than the perfectly round orbs one might expect. Overall, while the Tovolo Sphere Clear Ice System is capable of producing visually appealing ice, the effort required to achieve good results may not be worthwhile for all customers. Those pursuing the perfection of clear ice may find themselves frustrated, while casual users may enjoy it for the novelty it provides. **
