Has the glass attachment ever burst while in use?

if your not careful it could happen, the best way to avoid it, is not to twist when you're pushing in, and use a towel, in case it does it won't hurt your hand.

No, I've never had any problems. After use, I hold the metal part and wash with soap and water, dry.

No, but I've had one to crack when dropped and be worthless thereafter. The glass is delicate. I am disappointed that I spent the $ for all of the attachments. Also, since I learned from a beautician years ago that men were requesting this be used for hair restoration, I suspect that it's the reason that my electrolysis is not as effective after one years's treatment.

The answer to your question is NO. I have not had any attachment break, but you need to be careful and follow instruction for use exactly.

None of the tubes have burst. One tube which I use the most the metal bottom came off inside the machine. It took a while to get it out. I used a few drops of super glue and it is as good as new.

I hadn't heard there was supposed to be a problem. I haven't had any issues with it. No, the glass is not flimsy.

No. Ours have burst 3 times. We were able to fix them, but I would not purchase them again. I loved how they worked. Wish they would have lasted

Yes! My son throws it and it hasn't broken. He's even thrown it on concrete and it hasn't broken! Very good quality glass.

I do not think so. Only sounds when the unit breaks contact with the magnet, unless mounted right on the glass itself this would not happen with just the glass shattering.

Yes. Mine blew up when I was putting ice cubes in it. My older bottle from another company was able to handle when I stuck a cube a little big at the top and force it in. This one shattered. You get what you pay for.

I doubt it. You may find it holds the glass together but you will still see the crack. If it were me, I'd replace the glass.

No, not in the year we've owned ours. We put food in them, freeze them (lids on), then put them straight in the microwave (lids off). We are not particularly gentle with them. However, as a glass artist, I'm going to tell you a secret: ANY glass CAN explode. It is an inherent danger of all glass. You get a particular kind of bubble when making it, or a scratch/chip from hard use, and then even a minor temperature differential can cause the glass to shatter. Manufactured glass almost never gets those bubbles. Most likely, that reviewer or her MIL (or someone at the store) had dropped the container and it had chipped or cracked, possibly without them noticing. This can happen to any glass, as I said. But it is rare. Look at all the glass in your kitchen, and in your friends' kitchens, and ask yourself how many times something has exploded, and that should give you an idea. Having a glass item explode, while very scary, is not as dangerous as it sounds. Other than fairly minor scratches/puncture wounds, the only real danger is your eyes. I wear goggles in the shop, and I've had several things explode. Outside the shop, though, I don't risk my eyes. And you shouldn't, either. For safety, you should always very carefully check any glass item after dropping it and, if it is chipped or cracked, even if it's very minor, toss it in the recycling bin. I know most people don't do this, and I know many times it doesn't explode even then. But there is that one time, when the crack or chip is in the right place, and the temperature differential is in the right place, where it will. Is it worth the risk to your eyes?

I don't think they will. If it did? You may run into glass breaking as well.

Shatter proof glass is a fiction. But these are very durable. Owned 2 years, daily use, broken 1 out of 6. 4 1/2 stars

The black plastic bottom was permanently attached. I say "was" because the very fragile glass broke some time ago.

It's a permanent feature. It would be nice if it we we removable. It's kind of awkward and I generally don't break a lot of glass.

I don't know. Mine exploded. I got it replaced, then that one exploded. Fortunately the lid was on, otherwise there would have been glass shards everywhere. I would never use one again.

Yes to both questions. i usually break the clip easily but not this one. Also if dropped while in the holster the glass is protected. Several times...

Can't answer as I had to return mine. The glass door exploded on the first use.

That has not been my experience. Mine broke when I hit it against the kitchen sink accidentally.

Haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I've picked up broken glass with it and it works just fine.
