Is it fragile? Has anyone broken one?

Not fragile at all -- you'd have to drop on a hard floor to break. About as thick and heavy as a coffee mug.

I am not sure about the disposable cup holder but my lotion pump arrived broken. I m the other set I ordered, the tumbler had the top ceramic part completely missing. Not even broken pieces!!!

Yeah..it looks kinda fragile ONLY...it is NOT. It has hold up very well despite me not taking good care of it..I threw it around, drop it, fling it...not a scratch and working perfectly.

No it will not break for you, but it might unlock and fall. I do not recomend it.

No I don't think it would break but depending on the age of person using it. I would be worried about it getting bumped off.

Yes, this was purchased for an equally brilliant girl and she loves it. It is very sturdy and so far nothing has broken. Good luck.

it is somewhere inbetween. But not brittle at all - I don't think you will have an issue with it breaking -

Mine did not break, but I actually only tried piercing them the first time I made eggs in this. Since then I have left them intact and they have been fine.

Mine is pretty strong. I didn't try to bend it or anything but it didn't break when I put it on or from daily wear and tear. I would maybe request them to send you a new one.

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

I don't believe it would break. It seems fairly sturdy since it is not made from glass. The base appears to be a lexan or acrylic material.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

I have one new. I have used it a couple times. Did not break. Be sure that all steps hitch together. Sometimes they will slide but not always click in place

I push down on it a little bit and just twist the little plastic piece on top. It almost sounds like it's going to break but I have never had a problem.

Hi Annette,The one we received was broken. I haven't read the other reviews so I can't verify how common of an occurrence it is. I hope that helps.Best,Brett

I'm sure it could break, is made of plastic, but we have had no issues so far and have used it daily for about 2 mos. now.

It depends on how you use it, My 92yr old friend uses it every day and hasn't had any problems with it. I know 2 older friends who use it and love it. Nothing broke yet.

I've had one of them break but not like you described. The end of one of them cracked when the cup got knocked over. No problems so far with screwing the lid on even when my cup was filled with lots of ice.
