We put Ice Genie to the test on Does It Work Wednesday.

Ice Genie promises it'll make your ice cube storage problems disappear by saving space. It claims it can hold 120 cubes – just fill then chill!

The product is smaller than expected, but the directions are clear and concise.

Keeping the clear plastic cylinder inside, fill the Ice Genie through the little channels at the top.

The cylinder holds the water in the sides of the Ice Genie so it'll freeze into cubes.

Let Ice Genie work its magic for a few hours, then take off the lid and squeeze the ice cubes out.

The problem is, the ice cubes are very, very small, and you'll have to make quite a few batches to fill up the container. And then everything inside the container melts together into a big ice ball.

Ice Genie gets a thumbs down.
