How the Five Compare on the Numbers
Cube count per batch is the clearest published difference. The Weftnom 5 Pack leads at 70 cubes, followed by the PET Hous 4 Pack at 60, the ChefAide 4 Pack at 56, and the Azxb 2 Pack at 30. The DOQAUS 4 Pack does not publish a cube count. Weight is published for four of the five sets, from 0.64 pounds for the Weftnom set to 1.34 pounds for the PET Hous set.
Construction separates the ChefAide set from the rest. It is the only one described as dual material, with a rigid plastic upper half and a flexible silicone bottom. The other four are described as silicone throughout. Lids are included with all five sets, and two makers publish a specific prep or wait time: 15 to 20 minutes of boiling for the PET Hous set and about 30 seconds after freezing for the ChefAide set.
The table does not tell you how any of these trays perform in a freezer. No one at Lush has used them. It also does not tell you how the trays fit a specific freezer shelf, because four of the five makers do not publish tray dimensions. The cube counts and weights are the manufacturer’s published figures, not measurements taken here.
What the Cube Counts Mean for Daily Use
Batch size and refill frequency
A set that makes 70 cubes per batch needs refilling less often than one that makes 30. The Weftnom 5 Pack makes 70 cubes, the PET Hous 4 Pack makes 60, and the ChefAide 4 Pack makes 56. The Azxb 2 Pack makes 30 cubes, so it holds the least ice per batch of the five sets with a published count.
The DOQAUS 4 Pack does not publish a cube count, so a buyer comparing by batch size cannot place it on the same scale. Its published feature list describes four trays and a storage bin, but not the number of cubes each tray forms. That is a gap in the published information, not a judgment about the set.
Weight and handling
Weight matters when a full tray is lifted from a freezer. The Weftnom 5 Pack is the lightest published set at 0.64 pounds, and the PET Hous 4 Pack is the heaviest at 1.34 pounds. That is a difference of 0.7 pounds between the two, before any water is added.
The ChefAide set is 0.75 pounds and the DOQAUS set is 0.86 pounds. The Azxb 2 Pack has no published weight, so it cannot be compared on this measure. These figures are for the sets as shipped, and the manufacturers do not publish the weight of a filled tray.
Lids, Materials and Published Care Steps
Lid designs
All five sets include lids, so the choice is about lid design rather than presence. The DOQAUS lids have lift tabs for handling. The Weftnom lids are described as snap-on and spill-resistant. The Azxb lids are described as tight-fitting. The PET Hous and ChefAide sets also include lids, described as sealing.
Lid claims are the manufacturer’s descriptions. No one at Lush has filled these trays or carried them across a kitchen. The published features describe what the lids are intended to do, not what they were observed to do.
Materials and care
The ChefAide set is the only one described as dual material, with a rigid plastic upper half and a flexible silicone bottom. The other four sets are described as silicone, with the Weftnom and Azxb sets also describing a PP or plastic frame. All five are described as BPA-free.
Care claims differ. The Weftnom maker states the set is dishwasher safe, and the DOQAUS maker states the set is top-rack dishwasher safe. The PET Hous maker recommends a dishwasher cycle as a first-use prep step. The ChefAide and Azxb makers do not publish a dishwasher claim. The Azxb maker publishes a temperature range of -40°F to 428°F.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
Buyers who want the largest batch. The Weftnom 5 Pack makes 70 cubes per batch across five trays, the highest published count here. It is also the lightest published set at 0.64 pounds.
Buyers who want a tray that holds its shape. The ChefAide 4 Pack uses a rigid plastic upper half with a flexible silicone bottom, the only dual-material construction among these five. It makes 56 cubes per batch.
Buyers who want storage included. The DOQAUS 4 Pack adds a central storage container and a scoop to its four trays. The maker does not publish a cube count for the set.
Buyers who want a four-tray set with a published prep step. The PET Hous 4 Pack makes 60 cubes and the maker recommends boiling the molds for 15 to 20 minutes before first use.
Buyers who want published dimensions. The Azxb 2 Pack is the only one of the five with a published length, width and height: 7.3 by 5.1 by 1.2 inches. It makes 30 cubes per batch.
What We Could Not Verify
Several figures a buyer might want are not published by the manufacturers. These are the gaps found while comparing the five sets.
- Tray dimensions for the PET Hous, ChefAide, DOQAUS and Weftnom sets are not published.
- Individual cube size for the ChefAide, DOQAUS and Weftnom sets is not published.
- A set weight for the Azxb 2 Pack is not published.
- A cube count per tray for the DOQAUS 4 Pack is not published.
- A published temperature range for the PET Hous, ChefAide, DOQAUS and Weftnom sets is not stated.
- No maker publishes the weight of a filled tray or the volume of water each tray holds.
