My pitcher and infuser have held up well but the ice core blew up first time I used it

Because water expands when frozen, avoid filling it to the top of the ice core. This allows the ice to expand as it forms & the water won't spill. This is acrylic, so at some point, it will form cracks.

I used mine weekly for about 4 mos and then it started leaking. that seems to be a theme w/ this pitcher. i contacted the company and they didn't even have the decency to respond in anyway. that also seems to be par for the course w/ this item.

I bought two and both ice core broke. They put it in the freezer with the small cap on. Not a good idea...

i can't give a definitive answer, but i feel that it is very well made. i do not put it in the dishwasher, and i used it just about everyday during the summertime. i keep the ice core in the freezer, and i do not always use it. it is convenient and works well when i need it. it seems to repel any scratches or discoloration, and of course has not cracked so far. i like it.

Ours started leaking through a hairline crack in the shaft of the blade assembly. I've replaced two in the 9 years we've owned our Cuisinart blender. Both times for the same reason. This new one seems substantively sturdier (fingers crossed).

it did not break but jammed all the time with stringy things such as greens, so i do not use it any more, since i juice a lot of greens

The lid of this pitcher is attached with a very small, and in my opinion, inadequate joint. It broke (quite predictably) when I was washing the pitcher. I did not buy another one. So I would suggest stirring the contents with a large spoon. Shaking will possibly break the lid and the product is anyway by no means leak proof if you do! It's a shame that the joint is so fragile, or it would be a very good pitcher.

Yes, that's almost all I ever use with this. I like it SO much better than my leaky Mr. Coffee. I just wish the pitcher seemed more sturdy. It's relatively thin glass and I'm worried about breaking it. Perhaps it's stronger than I think. All in all I'd recommend it and would buy it again.

I haven't seen any crack. The cubes are filled with water so if it does leak, nothing harmful will be ingested.

I bought this for a gift myself and my husband was/is very happy with it. We used it more in the summer than we are now though but when we used it, it was on a daily basis. It has not shown any signs of cracking. I would feel comfortable telling you to buy it as a gift. My sister bought one for herself but was not too happy with using it but not because of it's quality, she thought she would like it but she didn't try hard enough to find a fruit combination that she would like. What I am saying is that make sure the person you are buying it for already likes that kind of stuff. I knew that my husband would and he did.

I have only had it for a few weeks and totally love it. It's a $20.00 pitcher that is saving me lots of money on soft drinks and bottled water. If I have to replace it every year, I think I am okay with that.

I bought this pitcher mainly for my husband so we could cut out a lot of sugary sodas. We both really like it. The lid doesn't fit too tight in fact I would suggest you hold maybe one finger lightly on the top as you pour. The reason for this we found is that the weight of the fruit in your infuser may sometimes make the lid tilt slightly. Other than this, the pitcher size is really nice and very easy to fill and serve with. Instructions say to wash by hand and I would agree because the heat of the dishwasher will eventually ruin it. We really like it and would recommend it to anyone looking for one. I hope this helps.

Mine cracked after about 6 uses. I returned it to nuk for vouchers. Bought myself a 30$ food processor:)

I've had mine for a few months and have used it a lot...sometimes I put too much in, but I've not noticed any gouging. Doesn't it have a 10 year guarantee? AS long as it still works and it's just looks, I personally wouldn't worry until it looks like it might actually be breaking apart. I guess it's just a bid DUNNO from me

No. My pitcher was room temp and I poured boiling water in it for tea and the whole bottom cracked. Another one bites the dust.

I don't know if it will last forever, I haven't tried to break it! But so far I clean it after every use and there is no coffee staining. I don't think it will break from making tea.

We have used our pitcher everyday for several months now and have no cracks. Two house guests have been impressed by it and bought one of their own and have reported to me that they love it. I think it would make a great gift.

Live in PA, I left it out over winter. It almost made it through, but when it blew over post-winter, it cracked in 3 separate places. Leaving it out definetly affects how brittle the plastic gets. I'm still here looking to purchase another though, I'll take it in this winter.

I have the "older" one and love it. Gets excellent froth every time. Best pitcher out there.

I have had this juicer for 5 months, but only use it about twice a week. After seeing your comment I looked closely at my auger and did see some very small scratches on one of the chisel edges (I think that is the correct terminology), but really minor enough that I never noticed it before I went looking for it. I have no 'gouges' or chipping or breaking at all. For what it is worth, that is my experience.
