Is it made of glass? Are glass heaters prone to breaking vs. titanium heaters? Thanks!

Yes it is made of glass,but I have had no problems with it . It comes with instructions for use ,you need to read them and follow them though.

No, it is glass. I wanted stainless but couldn't find one that met out other criteria so we compromised on this one feature. We've had it for several months and think it is great. Keeps liquid hot for 4+ hours at the temperature we like.

It is not metal inside at all. It's plastic. But whatever I put in it stays the temperature it began with for several hours. I'm thinking no about the portable water heater, but I haven't tried it and like I said the inside is plastic not stainless steel.

I've had mine for several years, but they are glass. The only thing I've ever heated is butter to soften or melt without any problems.

It isn't glass. I am not sure exactly what it is made out of (some kind of plastic?), but it is more lightweight than glass and does not break when you drop it.

It's made of glass. Don't drop it. Don't try to eat it. Don't hit it with a hammer, etc.

Hi, it's not a ceramic heater. It's all plastic. I use it for limited runs to take the chill off my bedroom, and never leave it running for more than 20 minutes. The plug does get hot at the wall socket, which worries me and caused me to put the time limit on run periods.

Yes, it's actually made of glass. However, I've had it for a couple of months and I see no problem with it. It depends on how careful you are. I super glued the coils on both sides of the chain so they don't slip out. It'll only break if you drop it and it took me two broken ones to figure that out. Hope this helps!

Yes the tank is made of glass. The pump and filter area is the same pane of glass but has a frosted finish. The glass has a good thickness too. The partition between the pump and filter is black plastic --as is the base riser, but the actual bottom of the tank is clear glass also. The top cover is clear plastic. The corners joining the panes are made of aluminium.

I've never found out if this was true or myth. It's said that the unregulated heat can cause the glass to crack. Others have said that the 60hz humming of the heater could cause the glass to crack. I've decided to not find a floor full of juice and gotten myself a thermostat. Plus... with a thermostat you won't over heat your must. :)

I believe it to be titanium. It is a well made item. I highly recommend this product.

It's a glass heater. If your turtle has broken one, probably will break this one.

It is made of glass and plastic. The plastic top needs to be hand washed. We have used it everyday for months and have had no problems with the plastic.

I believe it was glass but mine died on me very soon after buying it. I'd go in another direction. Not worth it IMO.

i'm using it on an electrolux flat top stove top. i think it's glass. the only thing i had to do (during first use), was to actuate the stopper a few times. it didn't rise up even though there was adequate steam and heat. after "unsticking", it has worked perfectly every time.

This one is glass. I've had it about a year with no breakage. Not sure where to replace it other than contacting the company.
