Missing sticks, but seller fixed the problem on the next purchase...
When I first ordered this item (the 12 space model), it came with only 11 sticks, and I couldn't use the 12th mold space. I started to return the item, but was just an hour too late for the return window. I liked the kit in general, so I bought another, after complaining to the seller about the missing stick. They did not answer my messages, but the second kit I bought came with 16 sticks! I guess that was their way of taking care of the problem! Now I have 2 kits, and am using them both. It's nice to have some extra sticks, in case one breaks or get lost. These are decent popsicle molds, though you have to really push hard on the bottom to get the popsicle out. After that, I just gently wiggle the stick around a bit, until it frees the popsicle from the mold. When the mold is full, it is easy to spill some when putting it into the freezer. I found through trial and error that by holding the whole mold from the outside edges, with both hands, I can manage not to spill too much when I am moving it into the freezer. I don't recommend trying to pick it up from the bottom, since that is how I ended up spilling some. The sticks seem sturdy, and I have yet to break one. I think the no-drip part is great, and also serves to keep the bottom of the popsicle from being exposed inside the freezer, and vulnerable to freezer burn or debris. The little funnel works well, and I use a ladle to fill it. The funnel is just about the right size to fill one mold space, leaving about 1/8 of an inch of room at the top for expansion of the liquid as it freezes. The cleaning brush included is not the greatest, and seems more suited to cleaning baby bottle nipples. I bought a sponge on a stick, which works better for cleaning the molds. I washed the molds thoroughly before the first use, and didn't find them to have any bad smells or tastes after that. All in all, it's a good product, but the seller needs to take more care in packaging it, to be sure no sticks are missing.

Convenient and a potential money saver
I’ve used this product countless times. I’ve made strawberry coconut popsicles, chocolate coconut popsicles, mango and pineapple popsicles and a whole lot more! This is a potential money saver because you can make a lot of these things yourself not having to go to the grocery store and buy some. The only downside is transferring it to the freezer. I highly recommend putting Some sorta plate underneath the silicone mold and then putting it in the freezer otherwise if you don’t have anything underneath, when you try to transfer it, it will spill. Besides that I highly recommend!

Overall pretty good
I purchased this popsicle mold to make homemade treats for my dog this summer to help cool him off. I'm only giving 4 stars because it's a little bit of a challenge to remove the popsicles after frozen. I'm able to maneuver the silicone and sort of push the popsicle up a little at a time from the bottom, but I definitely can't just grab it and pull it straight out like I remember doing with the old school plastic molds as a kid. To be fair, I'm not using the provided sticks (since I'm giving them to my dog and I don't want him to eat the plastic sticks), so perhaps it would be easier with the provided stick instead of a dog treat as the handle. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and love that it came with a little collapsible funnel and cleaning brush. I didn't even pay much attention to the fact that it came with those when ordering and when I opened the package I thought to myself that I'd never use the funnel, but it actually came in handy when pouring into the molds. I'm planning to bring this on vacation with me to the beach too, so I like that the silicone is flexible and won't get cracked or damaged if it gets a little smooshed in our luggage.

A great popsicle mold but…
I am really happy with this product except for one thing. I opted for the biggest one thinking, “yeah we’ll eat that many popsicles.” The problem is that I filled it up last night and it’s super hard to move once it’s full. I got popsicle juice all over the kitchen trying to get it into the freezer. I would probably opt for two smaller ones in the future even though it would cost more. Or I will just put it on a plate or something before filling it and then move the whole plate to the freezer.

These people know how to make a customer happy!!!
I guess I didn’t save the pictures of the popsicles I made but they were beautiful! I just blend whatever fruits and vegetables we have and pour and freeze!!! I love that there are ten spaces, that to me was perfect for my family of 5 and any potential kid guests. It has a funnel that is silicone and folds up flat. It actually works perfectly. They also included a tiny brush to clean the cracks which works well. ALSO they added extra sticks in case one goes in the garbage disposal or bottom of dishwasher but I hand wash them & direct kids to put on the side of sink to avoid this! They come out smooth and beautiful- consider adding smoothies, juice, koolaid, or my next one will be coconut milk and fruit mixed together! Yummmmm!!!

Handle broke
I like the Popsicle molds and love that the frozen popsicles are easy to remove from the silicone, but the sticks aren’t the most durable. My daughter dropped a Popsicle and the stick broke off at the handle. Now we can’t use one of the Popsicle slots

Absolutely perfect
I bought 2 sets of these for my 10 yr old child and her popsicle/smoothie obsession. She turns her apple/cranberry/cream smoothies into popsicles or makes homemade lemonade (with honey or maple syrup) and freezes it. She's never been more satisfied with her popsicle game. They are a perfect size, easy to fill, easy to get the 'sicles out, easy to wash, BPA free. I could see if you had a drawer or a really full freezer how a dish might stabilize these a bit more but for our regular use, they are fine the way they are - they have enough backbone to stand up on their own. If the 'sicles stick a bit in the mold, just set them out for a minute, then wiggle and the are free. Best advice - when filling, run a butter knife through contents or bang lightly on the counter to get air bubbles out so popsicles don't break at the stick. Sticks do run deep enough though, we've never had a problem. Very pleased with this purchase.
