Loved several features, but...
Loved swirly and varied colors, secure and attached cap (because we WOULD lose detachable ones and usually need to fit them in freezer any which way without leakage) included cleaning brush, included stand (so option to freeze all six and upright on rare occasions there is room to do so.) The silicone was easy to clean, as claimed and the odor was slight (and less than some other beloved silicone kitchen toys.)As others have mentioned, the squeeze operation ranged from no chance of getting to the pop (crushing the bottom third of the pop without getting it to pop up within mouth reach at all except for the ones made with not from concentrate orange juice) to settling for a tiny but refreshing slushy that could be tipped into the mouth. If there was an in-between place with my natural fruit juice versions, I couldn't find it. Maybe worth a try if your preference is a more water based, hard-freezable treat that would squeeze intact after a few minutes out of the freezer? But that isn't what we want to freeze and enjoy as a small pop. So I just ordered a set that shows them being twisted out, and comes with the drip guards with reusable plastic "sticks", which we can only use when there is a chunk of level space in the freezer. But Summer is coming...UPDATE: Well into Summer, and I have to admit my initial take on this product resolved itself with a few more attempts before the second set I ordered arrived. I hate to say "user error", but "practice makes perfect" works for me. I'm still using this fun set for the natural fruit juice pops that help me enjoy the season. I haven't even tried the second set, yet--I will--even though, if I'm multi-tasking, I occasionally end up with the last bit of the pop being that refreshing slushy I mentioned earlier. Still using the handy, included bottle brush to easily clean the inside of each mold, too. I don't care for the dishwasher detergent scent that clings to silicone washed in it, and sanitizing-temperature water and unscented detergent seem fine for items we don't share with others. I've added the last star, which I think this enjoyable product has proved it deserves.
