Libbey Glass Inc. Impressions Large Capacity Pitcher 90-oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I, like the other reviewers, thought this pitcher was absolutely beautiful and very sturdy. I purchased it from Bed Bath and Beyond for a brunch I was hosting 5 months ago. I have used it several times since.
There is not much information on the box, no paperwork, but what I gathered from the box and graphics is: handwash only, no transferring from freezer to microwave and vice versa, avoid extreme temperature changes, and not for use with hot liquids.
I have followed those instructions, yet today my pitcher broke rather unexpectedly and could have potentially been dangerous!
My hand washed pitcher was sitting in the drying rack when I went to fill it with a batch of iced tea I had made. The tea had been sitting on the stove cooling in a pot for about an hour and when I reached into the liquid with my bare hands to retrieve the bags, it was lukewarm to the touch.
I set the pitcher in my sink and poured the tea into it. When it reached the top I heard a cracking sound and watched as the entire pitcher of tea drained and went down the drain. Then, slowly a crack appeared near the bottom and over the course of the next minute or two made its way loudly up to the top of the pitcher.
I was very shocked, gasped, and went and got my box to re-read making sure I had followed all of their recommendations. Indeed, I had. That is when I thought "I should send the company some pictures because this is dangerous!" I went to remove the pitcher from the sink and found that what had happened was the bottom cleanly separated perfectly from the rest of the pitcher and stayed in the bottom of my sink like a glass puck.
I believed my pitcher to be defective, took pictures, and emailed the company (their number is closed because it is the weekend). I will wait to hear what they have to say.
EDITED TO ADD: Company contacted me the next week about a replacement. It was mailed really soon and I received well-packaged at no cost. Will still be very weary of breakage in the future, but gave an additional star for good customer service!
I would just like to say BUYER BEWARE. Google around a bit and read other Amazon reviews of Libbey and their Crisa products before purchasing. I am NOT the only one who has had major breakage problems. It seems their glassware is known for being very fragile and breaking easily. Users have complained of glasses breaking as they are drinking out of them, as they set them on the counter, shards of glass found in their sink after washing the dishes, etc. I only wish I had known this before I brought their faulty product. Thankfully I did not get hurt, but the 1/2" thick broken glass I handled definitely scared me enough to want to speak up and warn others about this. Thank God I had put it in my sink so as it broke it was contained, otherwise this could have been a different story!

Sterilite #04920012 2QT Ultraseal Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the worst pitcher I've ever owned. Even my husband can't muscle the lid on after making the drink - of course, said drink is spilling everywhere during the effort - and the stupid little green spout thing falls out constantly. It's only held in by two teeny little bumps that fit into holes in the lid. I solved the issues by first, running the lid under HOT tap water so it's pliable enough to fit onto the pitcher, and second, we just tossed the stupid little green thing in a drawer and left it there. Was going to be one star, but gave it another one for the shape making stirring easy and being dishwasher safe. Would NOT buy again.

Rubbermaid FG7E59RDCHILI Seal 'n Saver Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give this product 2 stars because it is impossible to clean out the handle. I don't recommend making orange juice or any juice with pulp in this container. I have the old model rubbermaid container like this and it was all open with indents on the side for the handle so you could clean out all of the inside surfaces. The lid is nice because it seals and as long as you have it on properly you can shake it with out it leaking.

Prodyne AP-23 Contours 2-3/4-Quart Acrylic Pitcher, Clear Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased two of these for a baby shower I was hosting. They were perfect and I'm glad to have them in my kitchen for any other parties I might throw.
Unfortunately, one of the pitchers had a small crack in an unnoticible spot (where the handle meets the bowl of the pitcher). I was understandably upset, but because I think it was a fluke and not a design flaw, I will re-order. I only suggest that you order this pitcher with enough time to spare so that if there is a crack you could return and re-order.

Norpro Lemon Lime Slicer Review

(More customer reviews)It works ok, just make sure you cut the ends off the lime/lemon before you use the slicer. Takes quite a bit of pressure to cut it, the plastic kinda flexes a little but it doesn't feel like its going to break. Its what you expect for 10 bucks. Would rate 3.5/5.

Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug, White/Raspberry, 66-Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this pitcher is artistically pleasing, graceful and elegant, it is quite unfunctional. Contrary to the description, it does NOT fit in a refrigerator door (unless you have a giant commercial fridge!) It is much too tall to fit in a door rack or on a shelf, which means you can only use it lying flat - not a very good option because it takes up too much shelf space and is a spill hazard unless the lid is VERY firmly in place. I only chose this one because it is made from the "Safe" plastic, and was supposed to fit in the door. Also, it does not have a separate comatiner for your chopped fruits & veggies, so it really isn't an infusion pitcher like many others on the market. I'm disappointed in it, and would not recommend it for the purpose advertised.

Perfect for mixing fruit with water or juice, as well as serving and storing your cold or hot beverages, this Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug features a fresh design that is tall and slender with a clear AcraGlass body that is BPA-free, as well as stain and odor proof. AcraGlass is lightweight and features glass-like clarity, yet is more durable than glass. The airtight twist-top lid features a built-in fruit blocker screen that suspends fruit while pouring, and locks in freshness. The soft grip handle allows for easy pouring or transporting, and features a beautiful raspberry color, a perfect accent to the white lid. This jug is designed to fit in the door of the fridge, or can be stored on its side with the lid on tight. Holds 66 ounces.

Bormioli Rocco Glass Storage Pitcher 34-oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)*****
I ordered 6 of these and so made the shipping problem described in another review not applicable. The vendor does charge a lot for shipping and handling, but if you order multiple items, it works out great, because most of the shipping is probably handling---in other words, if you ordered 6 pitchers, the shipping and handling is only $9.99! Also the pitchers are very sturdy and heavy, which I wanted.
These pitchers fit beautifully on the inside door of my refrigerator. They don't leach chemicals into my beverages, either. They take up very little space (they are squared not rounded so they fit well all lined up) and are attractive. If you are looking for a healthy option to plastic, this is it. They also have a nice snug lid to keep things fresh. The lid can be turned to an "open" position like many pitchers so that the lid doesn't have to be removed to pour.
The pitchers are attractive and not chinsy-looking like plastic pitchers. Buy more than one not only to save on shipping and handling, but because you'll want more for sure!

Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first saw this pitcher when I was looking for the same thing but with an ice core instead of the infusion core (which just happens to be made by the same company). I thought it was a great concept; and since I'm always looking for ways to add more water to my diet (without having to drink plain old ordinary water), I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked!
Here are a couple of things that I've observed:
Distilled water works best.
Depending upon what type of fruit you use in the core, it can take up to two days (or more) to get a really good infusion. Citrus fruits tend to take longer to infuse than berries.
It's a good idea to add water to it each time you pour yourself a glass. Two reasons: first, the newly added water will mix with the already-infused water and will take less time to become flavored. If you wait until the pitcher's mostly empty, it'll take a while to get a good infusion. Second, a smaller amount of "new" water will take less time to chill than if you were to add a whole bunch of new water.
And here's a hint: If you make your own lemonade (from scratch), try using orange-infused water to your lemon juice instead of plain, unflavored water. It adds a wonderful touch of "something" that you can't put your finger on (you KNOW there's something else in the lemonade, but you just can't figure out WHAT).
And, lastly, a suggestion: don't wait for berries to come into season! Just use frozen ones (strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, etc.) Because they've been frozen, they tend to infuse better than fresh ones. I recently used half a package of frozen raspberries. As they thawed they immediately began to turn the water red and by the time they were completely thawed, I had a lovely shade of red raspberry water. Being a "sweetaholic", I add a packet of stevia (AKA Truvia, but I prefer the Whole Foods brand of stevia) to my raspberry water and it tastes like a healthier version of raspberry Kool-Aid!

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi,
If you are looking for a medium sized pitcher with good looks and functionality, this is the pitcher for you. Continue reading below for my pros and cons regarding the Bormioli Chiller.
Pros:
*The chiller looks very nice. It's compact and easily fits in the second shelf in my fridge
*Hard glass; definitely made of quality glass--not the cheap ones that seem like they'll break with a slight tap of your nails.
*Ice Container is a very nice feature. Fill the plastic tube with as many ice cubes as will fit; your drinks will be cold w/out being watery
*Drinks pour our easily w/out spilling unto your floors or whereever else, just be careful not to pour too fast or naturally it'll spill
Cons:
*As advertised, the components are plastic, i.e the white lid cover, stirrer (I recall one reveiwer mentioning they never received it, well it was supplied with the pitcher)and plastic ice tube.
*unlike the good quality glass, i felt the plastic was cheap and flimsy; guess you can't have everything in one product
*Handle is short and I wish it was longer
Overall I gave this pitcher a 4 b/c of the cons and also b/c it appeared larger in the picture or maybe it was me. In any case, this is a great picher for a single person or very small family. I definitely recommend buying this and keeping your drinks cold this summer! Enjoy.

Ideal for icy cold lemonade, refreshing sweet tea, and more, this 72-3/4-ounce pitcher offers a stylish way to serve up perfectly chilled beverages with graceful ease. The unit's thick glass construction ensures durability and long-lasting beauty, while its ergonomic, integrated handle and built-in pour spout make it simple to carry and dispense. Transparent for quick identification and lovely display of its contents, the unique pitcher features an innovative vertical tube that prevents ice from diluting beverages. To use, simply fill the pitcher with liquid and the tube with cubed or crushed ice. Attach the tube to the lid, and insert the tube and lid into the pitcher to hold beverages at the optimal temperature for consumption--without the splashes, spills, and watered-down flavor caused by melting ice. Best of all, the pitcher and its corresponding plastic lid and stirring stick can be placed in the dishwasher (top rack recommended) for thorough cleaning between uses. Made in Italy, the chiller pitcher arrives packed in a gift-worthy box and measures approximately 6-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These carafes are like artwork in the refrigerator. The acrylic jar is sturdy and easy to handle even when full.
Washing has not been a problem as long as the contents aren't allowed to dry (meaning rinse it out as soon as it becomes empty).
The worst part about this product is the lid. The flip-top lid does not stay open unless it's pushed all the way back. Then, when pouring, the contents splashes because there's no vent hole in the lid. Lastly, the shape of the lip on the lid causes a small, but very noticeable amount of liquid to remain on the lid, which unfortunately turns into a gross and crusty mess very quickly. I would recommend keeping a towel or rag near-by to wipe off the lid after each use.
Update - 3 months after purchase
I purchased several of these carafes and in just 3 months one has been discarded because it cracked on the bottom and began to leak, while all the others have developed cracks in the neck. I would strongly recommend against purchasing this product for refrigerated liquids.
It seems to be more well suited as a serving container that will be used for an event and then emptied before being stored.
