If the lid is plastic it will break sooner or later?

Its not the lid that breaks. Its the little clips that keep the plate on the base broke for me after 3 uses

yes it broke the second time we used it. The clips on the bottom break and we were very careful with it

It's not the lid that breaks. It's the little latches on the sides of the bottom (hot plate). When they break you can't make the electrical connection so it won't work. I now make popcorn in a saucepan on the stove. Much better!

The lid isn't the problem. The little clips that hook the bowl to the base are tiny cheap plastic pieces that break. If it doesn't clamp the stir piece does not turn, and it does not heat properly. We took one back and got another one and had the same thing happen on a second one. DO NOT BUY THIS! I can't believe this usually high quality company would not make this right by their customers.

I don't know if the plastic lid will break, ours hasn't. But the clips that hold the base together will DEFINITELY break after you use only a few times. Even when I talked to the Cusinart customer service rep, they said they know about the problem and aren't doing anything about it.

I believe that SimpleHuman will do that. My can lost a screw and the lid was not operating properly after two years.. They contacted me that they will replace it when they receive a defective one, but it was such a simple repair, we did not pursue it. It is working very well, and this can is very easy to keep clean, though I use their liners which are just made for this model. They seem to really care about customer satisfaction.

I've had two lids break on me. I LOVE the water bottle too, but this is definitely a weak point of the product. Try contacting the manufacturer. I reached out to the manufacturer and they were kind enough to send a replacement for the first broken lid. They need to step it up though and offer either additional replacements of the option to just order lid replacements. The weakness of the lid is borderline product defect IMO.

It is plastic. So when I drop it, it doesn't break. Laugh. I have put hot liquid in it and I haven't had a problem.

Yes,however, wrap a little foil around the plastic as a heat shield, put it on the the lid just as the first drops begin,,, be careful

The main answer is that IT'S BREAKABLE! The glass is very thin, and while it is attractive, a gust of wind could damage it. The lit is slightly rounded. When it broke, I found out that one cannot replace the lid alone and must buy the whole shebang. Not a good deal.

My lid (detachable part part) warped after 10-15 uses so that it no longer closed securely. It is NOT a sound design.

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.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

The lid is metal so you should be fine and it's attached to the lid and bottle so unless you drop the whole bottle you'll never drop the lid. It's great.

The water will touch the plastic lid, it won't touch rubber. As much as I like this product, initially, it broke within a month. I accidentally dropped it and it shattered. If you're not clumsy, this is a good product.

It can take some abuse and protect the stuff inside (it's silicon, just like a silicon spatula) - the lid is pretty easy to take off, and it is hard plastic.

Lid breaks extremely easy . There is just a teeny tiny piece of plastic that holds it closed!

The lid is plastic. It's sturdy and fits tightly but fairly flexible and not difficult to pop off when you want/need to.

Maybe. I never had that happen. I think the container would probably crack.

The lid is made from heavy cardboard. I think it will eventually be able to remain open after it is bent back frequently. BTW it is a really beautiful item. Even better than its photo.

It depends on whether the water guage window is plastic or glass and I can't tell. The lid is not removable.
