The deciding specification is published capacity, from 56 to 84 cubes.
By the Lush Editorial Team·Researched & Compared
I compared five ice cube tray and bin sets using only manufacturer published dimensions, weights, and feature lists.
Makes 56 cubes at 1.3 by 1.3 by 1 inch each, with a 6.6 inch width.
Bin holds nearly 84 cubes in a 4.37 by 7.09 by 3.94 inch set.
Publishes the smallest width here at 5.52 inches and stacks two trays.
Weighs 0.66 pounds, the lightest of these five, with four trays.
An 11.5 by 6 by 3.5 inch clear bin with an integrated handle.

For a complete set with a scoop and a bin that holds nearly 84 cubes, the PHINOX Ice Cube Tray with Lid and Bin is the most documented. The GORILLA GRIP set publishes a 6.6 inch width and a 4.3 inch height and makes 56 cubes. The Brigii set publishes a 5.52 inch width, the smallest among these five, and a 4.72 inch height, the largest. The iDesign bin is a general storage container at 11.5 by 6 by 3.5 inches. The DOQAUS set weighs 0.66 pounds, the lightest here.

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
Three of these five picks publish all three dimensions. The GORILLA GRIP set lists 6.6 inches wide, 10.7 inches deep, and 4.3 inches tall. The Brigii set lists 5.52 inches wide, 9.05 inches deep, and 4.72 inches tall. The PHINOX set lists 4.37 inches wide, 7.09 inches deep, and 3.94 inches tall. The iDesign bin lists 11.5 inches deep, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches tall. The DOQAUS set publishes no dimensions.
Weight is published for four picks. The DOQAUS set and the iDesign bin each list 0.66 pounds. The PHINOX set lists 0.8 pounds. The GORILLA GRIP set lists 1.57 pounds, and the QUELIEN set lists 1.83 pounds. The ChefAide set publishes no weight. Capacity is published as cube counts for some sets and as a bin figure for one: the PHINOX bin holds nearly 84 cubes, while the GORILLA GRIP and Brigii sets each make 56.
| Specification | DOQAUS | Brigii | QUELIEN | iDesign | GORILLA GRIP | PHINOX |

The table does not tell you how any set performs in a freezer. It lists what each maker states, and several makers state nothing for a given row. The DOQAUS set has no dimensions, the QUELIEN set has no dimensions, and the ChefAide set has no figures at all. Where a cell reads not published, the maker does not publish that figure.
The GORILLA GRIP set makes 56 cubes, 28 per tray, each cube measuring 1.3 by 1.3 by 1 inch. The Brigii set also makes 56 cubes, 28 per tray, with each cube stated as 1 inch. The PHINOX set includes two 28 cube trays, which totals 56 cubes, and its bin is stated to hold nearly 84 cubes. Those three sets publish the clearest capacity figures among the five picks.
The QUELIEN set states it makes 64 cubes across two trays, a figure higher than the 56 of the GORILLA GRIP, Brigii, and PHINOX sets. The DOQAUS set publishes no cube count, though it includes four trays. The iDesign bin is a general storage container and its maker publishes no ice capacity. The ChefAide set publishes no capacity figure at all.
A tray count is not a bin capacity. The PHINOX maker states the bin holds nearly 84 cubes, which is more than the 56 cubes its two trays make, so the bin can hold ice made in batches. The GORILLA GRIP and Brigii sets each make 56 cubes but neither maker publishes how many cubes the bin holds. That gap matters if you plan to store ice made over several days.
The DOQAUS set includes four trays, the most trays among these five, but publishes no cube count and no bin capacity, so the maker does not state how much ice the container holds. The iDesign bin publishes a volume in inches but no cube figure. For a stated bin capacity, the PHINOX set is the only one of the five with a published number.
The Brigii set publishes a 5.52 inch width, the smallest width among the picks that publish one, and a 4.72 inch height, the largest height among these five. The PHINOX set publishes a 4.37 inch width, which is smaller than the Brigii figure, and a 3.94 inch height. The GORILLA GRIP set publishes a 6.6 inch width and a 4.3 inch height. The iDesign bin publishes a 3.5 inch height, the smallest of the five.
Depth separates the iDesign bin from the rest. It publishes an 11.5 inch depth, the largest among these five. The GORILLA GRIP set publishes 10.7 inches, the Brigii set 9.05 inches, and the PHINOX set 7.09 inches. The DOQAUS and QUELIEN sets publish no depth, so a buyer cannot check their fit from the listing alone.
The DOQAUS set and the iDesign bin each publish 0.66 pounds, the lightest of these five. The PHINOX set publishes 0.8 pounds. The GORILLA GRIP set publishes 1.57 pounds and the Brigii set 1.59 pounds, close to each other. The QUELIEN set publishes 1.83 pounds, the heaviest among the five picks.
Weight here is the published shipping or product weight, not a measure of how a loaded bin feels. The ChefAide set publishes no weight, so it cannot be placed on this scale. A heavier set is not stated to be sturdier by any maker, and a lighter set is not stated to be weaker. The figures are listed as published and nothing more.
Buyers who want a stated bin capacity. The PHINOX set is the only pick whose maker publishes a bin figure, nearly 84 cubes, alongside two 28 cube trays, a scoop, a lid, and a pillar plate. It publishes a 4.37 inch width and a 3.94 inch height.
Buyers with a narrow freezer shelf. The Brigii set publishes a 5.52 inch width and a 9.05 inch depth, with two stackable trays and a clear bin. Its 4.72 inch height is the largest among these five, so check shelf clearance above it.
Buyers who want the most trays. The DOQAUS set includes four silicone trays, a storage container, and a scoop, and weighs 0.66 pounds. The maker publishes no dimensions, no cube count, and no bin capacity, so measure your space before ordering.
Buyers who want a general clear bin. The iDesign bin publishes 11.5 by 6 by 3.5 inches with an open top and an integrated handle. It is a storage container rather than an ice system, and the maker publishes no ice capacity for it.
Buyers who want a twist release. The GORILLA GRIP set states a twist release with comfort grips, makes 56 cubes at 1.3 by 1.3 by 1 inch, and publishes a 6.6 inch width and a 4.3 inch height. It includes a bin, two trays with lids, and a scoop.
Several figures a buyer would want are absent from the listings. These are the gaps we could not source.
The GORILLA GRIP and Brigii sets each make 56 cubes from two trays of 28. The PHINOX set includes two 28 cube trays and a bin the maker states holds nearly 84 cubes. The DOQAUS set does not publish a cube count. The iDesign bin is a storage container and the maker does not publish an ice capacity for it.
The Brigii set publishes a 5.52 inch width, the smallest among these five. The PHINOX set publishes 4.37 inches, which is smaller still, so the Brigii figure is the smallest only among the picks that publish a width above 5 inches. The DOQAUS set publishes no width at all.
The DOQAUS set and the iDesign bin each weigh 0.66 pounds as published, the lightest of these five. The PHINOX set weighs 0.8 pounds, the GORILLA GRIP set 1.57 pounds, and the QUELIEN set 1.83 pounds. The ChefAide set publishes no weight.
The DOQAUS set states it is top rack dishwasher safe. The GORILLA GRIP set states it is dishwasher safe. The PHINOX set states the tray is not dishwasher safe and asks for rinsing instead. The Brigii, QUELIEN, and iDesign items do not state a dishwasher method in the published features.
The GORILLA GRIP set includes one bin, two trays with lids, and a scoop. The PHINOX set includes two 28 cube trays, a scoop, a lid, a pillar plate, and a bin. The Brigii set includes two trays with lids, a bin, and a scoop. The DOQAUS set includes four trays, a container, and a scoop. The iDesign item is a single bin.
The PHINOX bin holds nearly 84 cubes as published, the largest stated capacity among these five. The GORILLA GRIP and Brigii sets each make 56 cubes, but neither maker publishes a bin capacity figure. The DOQAUS and iDesign items publish no ice capacity. The ChefAide set publishes no figures.
