Zoku Mod Pops Molds

I bought the green Zoku plastic popsicle molds, and they work really well for making homemade popsicles. The molds are straightforward to fill and come with sticks that fit securely. The base is designed well, so there’s no mess while freezing.The popsicles are a good size, not too big or too small. Removing them is easy; you just run the mold under warm water for a few seconds, and the popsicle comes right out.The plastic is durable and easy to clean and the popsicle mold fits in my freezer, though I’ve found it’s best to place it on a flat surface for stability.

I read good reviews about these and they did not disappoint. I like their size, the sticks are long, they fit well in the freezer and they are fairly easy to release, even under cool water, you just need to be patient and gentle when pulling the top. If it isn't ready to be released, don't force it, just wait a few seconds longer. I like how you can freeze just about anything into a popsicle. Even though these were a little expensive, they are a good value as they are durable. Unlike store bought frozen treats (with loads of sugar), you can control what goes into your popsicle. I use calorie free monkfruit extract and to me, it isn't bitter like stevia.

Sturdy, great size, except for the base of the pop. When you are eating the dribbles dont stay in the base, they drip on to you because the base is so small. That said, I tried many different pop freezers and these are the best.

Easy to use!

These are a wonderful improvement on what my husband and I grew up with as kids. We have been using them every single day this summer. Actually considering getting another set because we go through so many. They clean up well they freeze well. I really like the fact that I don't have to go out and buy additional popsicle sticks. We have been able to freeze everything from lemonade mixes to soda pop to juicy juice. We do not notice the smell with them. They're very easy to clean. It was a great value for the money. I personally like the color because I love orange. And my husband feels that they're very durable.

We purchased the popsicle maker for someone going through dental surgery. It was easy to make the popsicles and they were easy to consume. Clean up was also easy.

These have been great! I made strawberry Greek yogurt pops. Delicious! Easy to release the sleeve with some warm water. I only wish the drip tray was but deeper. But overall a great product for an adult sized snack.

I ordered the Mod Pops version of these popsicle molds. It comes with the rigid plastic sleeves rather than the silicone ones. This is obviously meant to be a high-quality product, but there are also some minuses. Below I have listed my experiences and opinions.POSITIVES: 1.) The colors of the product are lovely! The orange holder (in our case), white sticks, and clear sleeves are lively and inviting. 2.) I ordered the Mod Pops because I like the compact design of the tray. We ended up getting a second one too, and both comfortably fit in our refrigerator. 3.) It's great that each popsicle comes in its own sleeve, so you don't have to put the entire tray under warm water. 4.) The design of the tray, the sleeves, the popsicle sticks, and drip-guards are all very nice. 5.) The sleeves make just the perfect size popsicles (for adults), and they are easy to clean. 6.) The top for each sleeve snaps on securely and won't leak. 7.) I know other people mentioned the drip-guard being too small, but we didn't have any issues with this. The trick is to only fill the sleeves up to the (hard to see) fill line of the sleeve and not all the way. This way, any melting popsicle juice has room inside the drip-guard. 8.) Another issue people mentioned is that the popsicle slid off the stick. We didn't run into this at all. My guess is that the liquid wasn't frozen long enough (we keep the tray in the freezer overnight).NEGATIVES: 1.) When we first received the product, three of the sticks broke almost immediately, and a bit later three of the sleeves cracked. It seems that the plastics are quite brittle when frozen. We got replacements for both the sticks and the sleeves, and now that we handle them a lot more carefully when cold, we haven't had any further incidents. The key is not to accidentally drop them (even short distances) or knock them on things. 2.) When the product arrives, the popsicle sticks and drip-guards are two separate pieces that you need to snap together. Once they are snapped together, they cannot be taken apart (without the risk of breaking them). Although the connection is tight, there is a tiny gap where the two pieces come together. Popsicle juice that gets in there is impossible to wash out. They should make these one molded piece instead of two. 3.) The price of the product is pretty high, especially considering how easily the sticks and sleeves can break. If they would use more suitable plastics, I would say it's worth it. As it is right now, it's only worth it for careful adults. Popsicle trays at the dollar store are not as well designed as this product, but they do last much longer.All in all, I'm happy with the purchase even after the initial disappointments, but I do hope the plastics used will be updated. With that, this product would be perfect. However, if any of the current sleeves and sticks break, we will have to switch to another product in the future (their warranty is one year). I hope that doesn't have to happen, as we have been having lots of fun making different flavored popsicles.
