Is the serving bowl / top unbreakable?

the bowl is unbreakable, but the dish under it has two latches that break really fast. I have my third Popcorn maker sitting in its box, am sure it will break again. I love all Cuisinart products, except this one. Would not recommend.

No - Very breakable, after 1 use, the top was drying on the counter, was knocked off onto a wooden floor and cracked down entire side. Cost to replace - $42 with shipping - no way

I dropped the bowl on my kitchen tile floor and it broke into 4 pieces. Now I need to get the replacement bowl and it costs almost as much as the entire unit!

Yes, it is plastic. I threw my unit out because the plastic that connects the base to the top broke after 5 uses. It was not worth the money

I don't know as I've never tried to break it. It's a hard acrylic so I would think it would take quite a bit to do so. Check with their customer service and they can answer that question.

I have used it many times and have even dropped it once and it did not break

this was a gift and my son really likes it. Nothing was broken so my answer is yes.

The top is indeed unscrewable. In fact, I have used it in a lotion recipe! Good stuff!

Unfortunately no. It's a great piece, indestructible...just a tad heavy.Noah B

My bowls are fine. Anyone reporting broken bowls must be dropping them while frozen. If you only want to make single servings ice cream occasionally for fun, this is the machine for you. If you want to make a lot of ice cream, go with a bigger machine.

I haven't had it long enough to be able to determine that. But, for the cost and actual function (it's very sturdy and the non-slip bottom is awesome!)...you can easily replace it if it does discolor and bother you that much.

NO!! The cover will warp. I just poured a little hot water now the cover doesn't fit anymore. .. I emailed the company 3 times without any reply. DONT buy this bowl ..

I have not had a problem with broken bowls. I keep them in the freezer so they always ready to go. Remember, this little macine is great for SINGLE serve ice cream or yogurt.

I haven't replaced the top, but the piece is very sturdy. It's a well made piece of furniture with a lot of structural support--very heavy.

This mirror is definitely not unbreakable but it is very flexible so it would be difficult to break by accident, you would have to bend it until it broke.

No, this is a plexi glass type of material. pretty much impossible to break. Rick

No, the top part comes off, I ended up returning it, it wasn't sturdy and came damaged at multiple places. They offer to replace it but I couldn't wait.

that's a good question, as I have tried to buy a replacement bowl because it flew off of my terrace in a windstorm. I could find no one to contact about parts period. unless you do some digging, I would say the answer is no as far as I found. that is the only disappointing thing I have found about the product. Other than that, aside from general sturdiness, I'm happy with it in my opinion it should have been about $100 cheaper for the quality I received. It is wonderful having a table with a fire pit in the center. So with that I've been happy

I would say no. I purchased this as a replacement to one I discolored in the oven. It is a mixing, serving bowl.

Anything is possible in life; however. I honestly don't see this happening. I've had mine since August and I don't see any wear on my rim at all. I'm careful when I lift up the front bar when I clean it several times per week. If you let the bar drop on the bowl's rim, it could possibly chip, crack or even break the bowl. There isn't any padding and I personally don't see the need for any.

Yes it is. Seems to be very durable since I have owned it. Not sure about dropping it, would probably crack, but does fine in the dish washer.

Not unless you completely fill the top with water and there is none in the bottom. That would only be the case after a cleaning. Even then it never gets bumped hard enough to fall over while being on the counter. I would recommend one of the metal ones tho. I had this one and it started to crack around the spicket after a year. We replaced it and love the Big Berkey.
