Best Ice Cube Storage Bins by Piece Count

The deciding specification is how many separate pieces one purchase contains and what each piece is, because every tray, lid and scoop is another thing to lift out, wash and keep track of, and only one of these five publishes a count of its own.

Each pick in detail

What the listing says for it, and against it.
1 Best for knowing exactly what arrives

GORILLA GRIP Space Saving Ice Cube Tray and Bin Set

The only pick publishing a piece count, six, itemized as one bin, two trays with lids and a scoop.

  • For it
  • The only pick publishing a piece count, and its itemized list matches the total it states
  • Its fields of 6.6 x 10.7 x 4.3 in repeat the bin figures in its own sentence exactly
  • Publishes a cube of 1.3 x 1.3 x 1 in and 28 cubes a tray for 56 in all
  • The only pick here publishing a dishwasher permission, stated for the tray, and 1.57 lb
  • Against it
  • Two trays, two lids, a bin and a scoop is six things to wash rather than one
  • The dishwasher permission is stated for the tray and not extended to the bin, the lids or the scoop
  • Publishes no size for the scoop, where two of these five measure theirs
2 Best for a lid that does a job

Brigii Ice Cube Tray with Lid & Storage Bin

A dustproof lid with built in release prongs: flip the tray onto the bin and press to drop the cubes.

  • For it
  • Its lid has built in release prongs, so the cover is also the tool that pushes the cubes out
  • States the flip and press routine in full, with no banging on counters and no running water
  • Lists its contents piece by piece: two trays with lids, one storage bin and one ice scoop
  • Publishes 56 cubes at 28 a tray, trays of 9.05 x 5.51 x 3.94 in and 1.59 lb
  • Against it
  • Never totals its own contents, where GORILLA GRIP states six and itemizes the same four kinds
  • Its fields read 5.52 x 9.05 x 4.72 in, sharing only the 9.05 with the tray figures it states
  • Publishes no size for the scoop it includes
3 Best for serving rather than freezing

Four stainless buckets and four scoops, each scoop measured, with no tray and no lid in the purchase.

  • Measures the serving piece, a scoop stated at 9.84 x 3.66 x 2.17 in
  • Publishes a bucket of 12.8 x 6.89 x 5.91 in and 5.3 l a bucket
  • Stainless steel throughout, stated to resist rust and corrosion indoors or outdoors
  • Against it
  • Four identical two piece sets rather than one system, so nothing here makes ice
  • Publishes no lid of any kind, so an open bucket sits in the freezer
  • Its fields of 7.48 x 13.78 x 7.48 in are larger than the bucket it states, and describe the carton
4 Best for three pieces and a clear lid

1 Set Portable Ice Bucket Storage Container Bin with...

A 304 stainless bin, a clear sealing lid and a measured scoop, with a top handle for carrying it.

  • For it
  • Three pieces only, a bin, a clear sealing lid and a scoop, in 304 stainless steel
  • States the clear lid lets you see the remaining ice without opening the bin
  • Measures both pieces, a bin of 10.83 x 7.87 x 6.89 in and a scoop of 8.5 x 3.35 x 1.18 in
  • Publishes 5500 ml, 2.08 lb and a top handle stated for carrying the bin
  • Against it
  • Its contents are counted across two bullets rather than totalled in one
  • Its fields read 9.45 x 11.02 x 7.28 in and share no figure with the bin size it states

5 Best for having nothing to take apart

Ice Buckets for Parties

States one piece molding that does not leak, in stainless steel, with no lid, tray or scoop at all.

  • For it
  • States one piece molding and that it does not leak water, so there is nothing to take apart

  • States a one year replacement, which no other pick here publishes
  • Against it
  • Publishes no weight at all, where the other four publish one
  • No lid, no tray and no scoop, so it stores ice and does nothing else with it
  • Its own sentence gives 13, 10.6 and 6 in while its fields read 10.0 x 12.0 x 6.0 in

Our verdict

GORILLA GRIP is the only pick that publishes a piece count, a six piece set itemized as one bin, two trays with lids and a scoop. Brigii lists the same four kinds without totalling them, and its lid carries release prongs that push the cubes out. Teecyhooo is four buckets and four scoops with no tray or lid. Havawish is a bin, a clear lid and a scoop. BEENIFIC states one piece molding.

“Every extra piece is another thing to wash and lose.”

Lush Editorial Team

What separates these five

One purchase counts itself GORILLA GRIP states a 6 piece set and then names them: one bin, two ice cube trays with lids and an ice scoop. The list and the total agree.
One lid is also a tool Brigii states a dustproof lid with built in release prongs. Flip the frozen tray onto the bin and press, and the cubes drop into the container.
One purchase is the same set four times Teecyhooo is four stainless buckets and four scoops. It is the highest item count on this page and the lowest variety, with no tray and no lid.
One has nothing to take apart BEENIFIC states one piece molding that does not leak water. There is no lid, no tray and no scoop, and so nothing that can be mislaid.
Nobody sells a single piece No listing among these five offers a replacement scoop, lid or tray on its own, so losing one piece means buying the whole purchase again.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% How many separate pieces arriveEvery piece is something to wash, dry and put back
  2. 25% What each piece actually doesA lid that releases cubes earns its place; a plain cover may not
  3. 20% Whether the maker counts its own contentsA stated total that matches the list is the easiest check there is
  4. 15% Figures published for the pieces you holdTwo of these five measure the scoop and three never do
  5. 10% A washing route for the partsA permission for the tray alone is not a permission for the set

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

An ice bin is rarely one object. It is a bin, usually a tray or two, often a lid for each tray, and often a scoop, and every one of those is a thing to lift out, wash, dry and put back in the right place. How many pieces arrive is therefore the first practical question, and only one of these five answers it with a number of its own.

GORILLA GRIP states a six piece set and then itemizes it. Brigii lists the same four kinds of piece and never totals them. Teecyhooo counts four buckets and four scoops, with no tray and no lid anywhere. Havawish counts a bin and a scoop and mentions a lid in a different bullet. BEENIFIC states one piece molding, which means there is nothing to take apart and nothing to lose.

What the table cannot tell you is which pieces are the ones you will actually handle every day. A scoop lives in the bin and comes out with the ice. A lid comes off twice a week. A tray comes out whenever ice runs low. The listings count the box contents rather than the handling, and none of them publishes a replacement for any single piece, so a lost scoop means buying the set again.

The Only Purchase That Counts Its Own Pieces

GORILLA GRIP States Six and Names Each One

GORILLA GRIP is the only pick here that publishes a piece count. Its second bullet reads 6 piece set makes 56 cubes, and then itemizes it: one bin, two ice cube trays with lids, and an ice scoop. Those four kinds add up to the six it claims, which is a small thing and a rare one, because a stated total that matches its own list is the easiest way to check what will arrive.

It is also the best measured pick. It publishes a bin of 10.7 x 6.6 x 4.3 in, and its dimension fields repeat exactly those three figures. It publishes a cube of 1.3 x 1.3 x 1 in, 28 square cubes a tray for 56 in all, 1.57 lb, soft touch grips for twisting ice out, and a dishwasher permission for the tray.

Brigii Lists the Same Four Kinds and Never Totals Them

Brigii arrives as the same shape of purchase and declines to count it. Its last bullet states that the set includes two ice trays with lids, one storage bin and one ice scoop, which is the same four kinds GORILLA GRIP totals at six, written as a list with no sum. A reader comparing the two has to do the addition, and the listing never confirms it.

Its lid earns its place better than anybody else’s. The release bullet states that the dustproof lid has built in release prongs: you flip the frozen tray onto the storage bin and press, and the cubes drop into the container. That makes the lid a tool rather than a cover, which is the single most useful thing any extra piece does on this page. It publishes 1.59 lb and trays of 9.05 x 5.51 x 3.94 in.

One Set Four Times Over

Teecyhooo Repeats a Two Piece Set

Teecyhooo publishes the highest item count here and the lowest variety. Its contents bullet states four pieces of stainless steel ice buckets and four pieces of ice scoops, which is four identical two piece sets rather than one system with four different parts. There is no tray, no lid and nothing that makes ice: these are buckets for serving it.

It publishes more about its scoop than anybody else. The size bullet gives a bucket of 12.8 x 6.89 x 5.91 in and a scoop of 9.84 x 3.66 x 2.17 in, so the serving piece is measured rather than mentioned. It publishes 5.3 l a bucket and 5.03 lb for the whole purchase, which is the heaviest figure on this page and covers eight items rather than one.

Havawish Reduces It to Three

Havawish is the compact version of the same idea. Its contents bullet counts one stainless steel bin and one ice scoop, and its materials bullet adds a sealing lid, so the count is spread across two bullets rather than stated once. Three pieces, all stainless except the lid, which it describes as clear so the remaining ice can be seen without opening it.

It publishes a bin of 10.83 x 7.87 x 6.89 in and a scoop of 8.5 x 3.35 x 1.18 in, so like Teecyhooo it measures the piece you hold. It publishes 5500 ml and 2.08 lb, and states a top handle for carrying the bin. Its dimension fields read 9.45 x 11.02 x 7.28 in, which matches none of the three figures in its own sentence.

The Purchase With No Parts at All

BEENIFIC Is One Molded Piece

BEENIFIC answers the question by having nothing to answer. Its fifth bullet states one piece molding, not leaking water, and the listing names no lid, no tray and no scoop anywhere. For a reader whose real complaint is that ice bins arrive as five things that end up in four different drawers, that is the strongest possible answer, and the trade is that nothing makes ice and nothing serves it.

It publishes 9 liters, the largest figure any single vessel here states, though Teecyhooo states 5.3 l for each of four buckets and so holds more per purchase. It states stainless steel described as odorless, a rinse with water for cleaning, and a one year replacement. It publishes no weight at all, which on a 9 liter steel bin is the figure a reader would most want, and it is the only pick among these five that leaves it out.

Where These Listings Disagree With Themselves

Three of the five file dimension figures their own sentences do not support. BEENIFIC writes its length, width and height as 13, 10.6 and 6 in, and its fields read 10.0 x 12.0 x 6.0 in, where only the 6 survives. Havawish states a bin of 10.83 x 7.87 x 6.89 in and files 9.45 x 11.02 x 7.28 in, which shares no figure with the sentence at all.

Teecyhooo is the clearest case and the easiest to explain. It states a bucket of 12.8 x 6.89 x 5.91 in and files 7.48 x 13.78 x 7.48 in, every one of them larger than the bucket in at least one direction, because the purchase is four buckets and the fields describe the carton they ship in. This page uses each maker’s own sentence and reports the fields as what they are.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

You want to know exactly what arrives. GORILLA GRIP states a six piece set and itemizes it as one bin, two trays with lids and a scoop. It publishes a bin of 10.7 x 6.6 x 4.3 in that its fields confirm, 56 cubes and 1.57 lb.

You want the extra piece to do a job. Brigii publishes a lid with built in release prongs: flip the tray onto the bin and press, and the cubes drop in. Two trays with lids, a bin and a scoop, 56 cubes and 1.59 lb.

You are serving ice rather than making it. Teecyhooo is four stainless buckets and four scoops, with the scoop measured at 9.84 x 3.66 x 2.17 in and each bucket at 5.3 l. There is no tray and no lid in the purchase.

You want three pieces and a lid you can see through. Havawish is a bin, a clear sealing lid and a scoop, in 304 stainless, with a stated 5500 ml, a top handle, 2.08 lb and a scoop of 8.5 x 3.35 x 1.18 in.

You want one object and nothing else. BEENIFIC states one piece molding that does not leak, 9 liters of stainless steel and a rinse to clean it. No lid, no tray, no scoop, and no published weight.

What We Could Not Verify

Six things a reader buying for the pieces would want, and no listing among these five supplies.

  • A replacement scoop, lid or tray sold on its own by any of these five, or any statement that one exists.
  • A total piece count from Brigii, Teecyhooo or Havawish, each of which lists its contents without summing them.
  • A weight for BEENIFIC, where the other four publish one and Teecyhooo publishes 5.03 lb.
  • Whether the BEENIFIC bin is the 13 by 10.6 by 6 in of its sentence or the 10.0 x 12.0 x 6.0 in of its fields.
  • Which Teecyhooo figures describe a single bucket, since its fields are larger than the bucket it states.
  • A washing instruction for the scoops and lids, which no listing here addresses separately from the bin.

Frequently asked questions

How many pieces do these actually come with?+

Only GORILLA GRIP tells you outright, with a stated 6 piece set made up of one bin, two ice cube trays with lids and an ice scoop. Brigii lists two trays with lids, one storage bin and one scoop without totalling them. Teecyhooo counts four buckets and four scoops. Havawish counts a bin and a scoop and adds a sealing lid in a later bullet. BEENIFIC states one piece molding.

Does an extra piece ever earn its place?+

The Brigii lid does. Its release bullet states built in release prongs: you flip the frozen tray onto the storage bin and press down, and the cubes drop cleanly into the container, with no banging on counters and no running water. That makes the cover a tool. Every other lid on this page is stated to keep spills in or odors out, which is useful but is not a job you would otherwise do by hand.

Which of these can wash in a dishwasher?+

One states it and the permission is narrower than it looks. GORILLA GRIP states that the ice cube tray is dishwasher safe, which is a claim about the tray rather than about the bin, the two lids or the scoop. BEENIFIC asks only that you rinse it with water. The other three publish no washing route at all, which matters more as the piece count rises.

Which published figures here should not be trusted?+

Three of the five file dimensions their own sentences do not support. Teecyhooo states a bucket of 12.8 x 6.89 x 5.91 in and files 7.48 x 13.78 x 7.48 in, which is the carton for four buckets. Havawish states 10.83 x 7.87 x 6.89 in and files 9.45 x 11.02 x 7.28 in. BEENIFIC writes 13, 10.6 and 6 in and files 10.0 x 12.0 x 6.0 in. GORILLA GRIP is the exception and repeats its own figures.

How much ice do these hold?+

They publish it in three different ways. BEENIFIC states 9 liters, the largest figure for one vessel, though Teecyhooo states 5.3 l for each of four buckets and so holds more in total. Havawish states 5500 ml. Teecyhooo states 5.3 l for each of its four buckets. GORILLA GRIP and Brigii both count cubes instead, 56 in all at 28 a tray, and GORILLA GRIP is the only one that also sizes a cube, at 1.3 x 1.3 x 1 in, so you can picture what 56 of them look like.

Is a one piece bin better than a set?+

It depends what you want the bin to do. BEENIFIC states one piece molding that does not leak, so nothing can be mislaid and there is one thing to wash. It also makes no ice and serves none, because there is no tray and no scoop. The six piece GORILLA GRIP set does the whole job and gives you six things to keep together. Neither listing sells a replacement for a single piece.
