can you take the ice packs out of the unit or do you need to place the entire apparatus in the freezer?

The ice packs are removable. We have had the product for 3 years and we still use it and love it.

YES! FREEZE or place ice packs in the refrigerator. They work a lot better that way!

Only the cooler pack should be put in freezer WITHOUT the insulin or medication to refreeze the cooler pack. Refrigerate WITH the insulin or medication in the cooler pack.

The only place you do not have access to is the water tube that moves the water from the storage tank to the ice maker itself. Everything else you can easily clean. When not using it, I recommend drainin the water and leave the lid open for a couple days to dry it all out.

I have NO idea because once I filled them up and froze them, none of us can open or take it apart, so it sits in my freezer and and i use it for an icepack!!! Cute idea but it does not work, never could use it as ice cubs.

I would recommend that you get the unit really cold and the drinks really cold before you put them in. Add ice packs around the drinks. The Thermos ones work really great for this purpose.

So long as the inside of the base and the outside of the silicone is dry there should be no difficulty pulling them out once they are frozen. The sides are straight and if you pull directly up you shouldn't have a problem. What is difficult is getting the silicone mold off the popsicle itself.

Hi. I have never tried to keep the ice pack in the cooler bag for more than 7 hrs. So im really not sure how to answer your question. I really doubt though, that the ice can last that long

You don't use ice! You put the insert canister in the freezer, usually I do over a day and once frozen you put it in the maker.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

It will not. Ice will last for hours not days in here as the unit itself is not a "freezer".

If you have a standard size refrigerator with the freezer on top, you will need the entire freezer space. Really. All of it!

The part of the set that has compartments is the ice pack. You put the whole piece in the freezer and fill before you leave. Works great

No, you put them in the freezer to cool them down. However, they only go down to a certain temperature, then stop getting colder regardless of how cold your freezer is. Not sure how they do that, but it works!

It absolutely can be removed (unscrewed) before adding your ice cubes and additional water. I really, really like this. Have a green one for my husband and a raspberry one for me!

No. I keep the cubes in a plastic bag in the freezer. After I use them in a drink, I wash them off and refreeze them. I live in an apartment and could not move my refrig with ice maker in so this is a great space saving alternative.I use them all the time. I only keep an ice cube tray for ice for smoothies.

Yes you cut a piece long enough for what you are going to freeze, then you use the seal only setting to seal one end, insert the item and seal and vacuum the other end. Hope that is clear.
