Are the pitcher and food processor bowl glass or another material?

They're a hard plastic that does wear down and become fragile. Little bits have broken off of mine and I've only had it a year. I use it approx. 2 times per week and regularly use the dishwasher to clean it.

Plastic and mine broke into small pieces, my two year old almost choked on it! Do not buy this blender!!! I ended up the Hamilton beech "wave" smoothie blender and it works well enough until I can afford the Vitamix!

Hi, they are not glass but a heavy plastic. I haven't had any trouble with mine. I use it almost every day and truly love it!

They are a hard plastic. Been using for a few months and seem to be pretty decent quality. The blender still rocks!

I am not certain of the exact constitution of the material, but it is "plastic-like". The heating/frothing disc, part of the inside of lid, and the inside bottom of the pitcher all contain a plastic-like material.

I believe the pitcher top is dishwasher safe but I hand wash both pieces just to be safe

Yes, it is glass, therefore the bowl is microwaveable. The lid is NOT microwaveable!

The one I purchased; the outside is of the bowl is convincingly marble but I'm pretty certain that it is just really hard plastic (might be stone). The inside of the bowl is definitely plastic as well as the stem.

No this pitcher is not glass. I like the way they can be put on side door of refrigerator or on shelf and they don't take much room. A while back I did see them at costco they were cheaper. Hope this helps. Suzanne

The bowls themselves are glass. They say oven safe on them, but the lids are partly plastic. No oven or microwave. Also, these are smaller than I realized, but otherwise, I like them.

The frothing part of the device are made from plastic. The pitcher is metal with a non-stick coating. I have washed the frothing part in the top rack of my dishwasher. I hand wash the pitcher.

Only the blender container is glass and very sturdy-feeling; the food processor part is plastic and feels much more flimsy (at least on mine.) That's one thing that surprised me.

The pitcher itself is glass, the lid is plastic. It also make the best froth, can't tell it from the coffee houses.

A kind of plastic. Very high quality. This mixer is used by professional chefs. Not the kind of plastic you'd see in a cheap blender.

NO!! I can't speak to previous orders but I just received mine today, 7/15/2015, and NO this pitcher is absolutely NOT glass as clearly stated in headline/subject line that initially describes product. The pitcher itself is plastic, the insert is plastic, and the plastic lid is.....plastic. The only part of this product that is not plastic is the box it came in and the paper pamphlet. I am very disappointed as I specifically thought I was purchasing a "glass pitcher". So if you are specifically looking for a glass pitcher, keep on looking -- this isn't it.

The lid is made of plastic that in my experience tolerates repeated microwaving very well. I have high regards for this bowl combination.

I would recommend a wooden bowl. The blade is very sharp and could crack/break glass and using a plastic bowl might get plastic shavings in the food. You could probably also use a metal mixing bowl if you don't mind getting scratches in your mixing bowl.

Bowls are microwaveable. The glass is tempered and is substantial in feel as all tempered glass is.
