I love this for when we make tropical type drinks. It can spill easily on the trip from the sink to the freezer but just support the bottom and you'll be fine. i haven't figured out how to get the cubes clear, instead of cloudy- but I guess that has to do with the speed the water freezes and there isn't much you can do about it. I also have the Gin & titonic tray and I prefer this one because the cubes come out of the tray so easily.
