We analysed the Amazon.co.uk subcategory Ash Trays and kept only products with at least 200 reviews and 4.3 stars. What follows are the ten with the highest estimated monthly revenue — from a £4.99 silicone twin-pack to a wall-mounted bin built for pub gardens.
The revenue leader of the category: at £9.99 the black version undercuts the yellow and green colourways of the same tray and outsells both by a wide margin.

The only wall-mounted unit in the top ten and the highest rated at 4.7 stars — aimed at pub gardens and smoking areas rather than a coffee table.
A trade pack: the £18.70 price covers ten trays, so roughly £1.87 each, and its price rose 39% over the observed period.
The cheapest entry at £4.99 for two, and the only flexible one here — silicone will not chip if it goes over on a patio table.
A decorative lidded tray for porches and patios at £15.99 — note the price climbed 89% during the observed period, the sharpest rise in this list.
The metal alternative to the ceramic bowls above at £7.99, and the one that will not crack if it gets knocked off a garden wall.
Rated 4.7 stars and sold on containment rather than looks — the lid is described as both windproof and smell proof.
4,129 reviews sit behind this glossy ceramic bowl at £11.99 — only the three Lependor colourways, which share one pooled count, show more.
The same ceramic ashtray as rank 1 in yellow, priced £2 higher — Amazon lists each colour as its own product, which is why the review count is identical.
The third Lependor colourway: the same tray as rank 1 costs over 50% more in green at £15.40, and it ships from a US seller rather than Prime stock.

An open bowl is easier to tip out but a gust across a balcony empties it over the table. Six of the ten here have a lid, which is the single feature that decides whether an ashtray can be left outside at all.
Ceramic holds heat and sits still but chips on a hard floor; stainless steel survives being knocked over; silicone bends instead of breaking and is the cheapest way to cover a garden table. Melamine sits in between and is what venues buy in packs.
A wall-mounted ash bin keeps butts off the ground at a doorway or pub garden and is emptied weekly, not daily. A desktop tray is a different purchase entirely, so decide the location before the design.
Shallow decorative bowls have nowhere to park a lit cigarette, and a deep windproof body hides how full it is. Look at the number of notches in the rim against how many people will be using it at once.
Cold ash is what makes a room smell, not the smoke. A closing lid, described here as smell proof on several models, is what keeps that inside — an open tray needs emptying after every session.
Tar bakes onto a glazed ceramic surface and needs soaking; silicone peels clean and takes a dishwasher. If the ashtray is for a rental, a garden or a business, weigh the cleaning routine above the look of it.
Ranks 1, 9 and 10 are the same Lependor ceramic ashtray in black, yellow and green. Amazon lists colour variants as separate products with their own ASIN but pools the reviews, which is why all three show 17,051. The prices differ by up to £5.41 for what is otherwise the same item.
Outdoors, yes — a lid stops ash blowing out and stops rain turning the contents into sludge. Indoors it is about smell rather than wind, because it is the cold ash that lingers in a room. Open bowls are simpler to empty and fine on a sheltered table.
That is the Utopia melamine tray sold as a pack of ten for bars and restaurants, so about £1.87 per ashtray. Compared per unit it is the cheapest entry in this comparison, but it only makes sense if you need ten.
The products are ordered by estimated monthly revenue per ASIN, not by star rating and not by bestseller rank. Only products with at least 200 reviews and an average of 4.3 stars were included. Revenue shows which ashtray people actually buy rather than which one has the prettiest listing.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
