Why is the pitcher not made of glass? I know so many people who prefer glass not any kind of plastic (BPA-free included...)

I would think plastic is lighter and cheaper to make compared to glass. I have this pitcher and it works great. I make filtered water every month.

I dropped mine and it causes a little ding but thank god its not made out of glass, imagine dropping it, which could happen more often then u think.

I only know of Brita, (I have a brita now), and Pur. Both of these are plastic.

I believe the weight would be too much when the pitcher is filled. The filter lid is weighty so for me it would be difficult to manage with the heavier glass. We are very pleased with our pitcher and would definitely purchase it again.

No the pitcher and bowl are not glass. They are plastic but the plastic is a high quality plastic

Mine just arrived and I was disappointed to find plastic on the inside around the spout. I called the company and the representative said the plastic is BPA free. I wish I could find something online that confirmed this. Not sure if I'm going to keep the product

BPA free claims are a farce. BPA has been replaced with BPS which is a sister chemical and as dangerous, if not more so than BPA. This pitcher contains part marked with #7 meaning it very likely contains BPS. AVOID!!!

I do not know of glass pitchers for brita filters....have never looked. I especially like this pitcher, it's smaller thatn most that I've had and easier for me to use, I have a weak wrist.It has a date you can set to remind you when to change filter, not automatic, you pick your date based on your use.

Hi. They don't make it. The only one with glass pitcher is model number ksb565er which I have some left. Thank you

Carol, that is a good question. I broke mine too, but I have been using a Tuperware type pitcher and it works pretty well.

I"m sorry I am not familiar with BPA does that have something to do with the texture of the pitcher and the health of our body

It is not glass. It is plastic. Try a warming blender they have glass containers

The pitcher material is Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). We do not recommend that the pitcher be filled with boiling liquids as this may damage it.

it's plastic....put it can still break. . . as I found out this evening. sigh. I'm sure it'll be cheaper to just buy a whole new unit rather than replace the pitcher. I may decide to get a nutri ninja. I may just get nothing. #sadface

The pitcher is made from glass. The lid is supposed to be the kind of plastic that is not bad for you. Hope this helps.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

Yes, the pitcher is made of glass. The plastic ice container unscrews at the top from the lid. The plastic top can be used with or without the center container. The pitcher is surprisingly very wide and deep at the bottom. I use it in the summer to make sangria. It is an amazing product. Buy one if you still can. You will not be disappointed.

I have checked your page information and found that you're talking about a pitcher that Rubbermaid no longer manufactures.The exact page for the mixing pitcher I purchased and currently use is:http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?Prod_ID=RP091197and has, on the page, "BPA Free" underneath the promo picture of the product.I, too, have my concerns about BPA and I would not have purchased this product otherwise.

Can confirm that the plastics used are BPA free. I just chatted with KitchenAid and they confirmed its BPA free and that there are minimal amounts of plastics in the device
