Dear Larry, Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused to you. Sorry to tell you that our former batches had harden glass lens,but it is proved that it is not safe for the people who will install or replace the lights,so we afterwards improved the lens from glass to toughened PVC which is more harder and more durable than glass,but we forgot to revise the product discription. So actually the lens of the lights you ordered are made of toughened PVC but not glass,but it is much better than glass. And we will correct the product discription soon. In this case,would you like to keep the lights? If not,please tell us your amazon order number,we will email you with solution soon once you have confirmed. Hope you can understand and that we can hear from you soon so that we can assist you promptly. Sorry again for all the inconvenience this may have caused to you and thanks for your kind understanding. Regards, Bingomama

It is not glass, it is hard plastic, but it looks very much like glass just alot lighter.

Just received the 12 cup pot and the knob is plastic. I am purchasing the glass knob for 5.71 at Amazon.

Yes it is...I found it very easy to replace the glass. Just take your time and be patient. I was able to fix mine in 15 mins. If you need further help, id be happy to give you my email if you need it.

What I bought was clear glass. ( I was trying to buy something that had a bubble at the bottom of the glass and the one I bought was a poor imitation, sorry to say.)

Mine was plastic. The glass outer shell and the glass part of the lid both cracked within the first few weeks I had it. Although I liked the product, I probably would not buy it again. I would look for an option less likely to break.

I also just realized this was glass and not plastic. I was tapping out contents while cleaning when it occurred to me. I suppose finding the right dimensions might be difficult. Maybe a science supply store or if you have a glass cutter use a test tube? Honestly, I think it might be easier to place another order than to spend time fabricating something.

No plastic. I notice that it is effective, so I don't think it needs to be glass.

this item is all plastic. I wish most things would be made of glass again, don't you?

It has Bodum stamped on the glass. Mine didn't fit snugly with the band/handle tightened up all he way. Had to roll up some tinfoil and flatten between the band and the glass (about 4 or 5 sheet thick x ~1 ft long).

It is glass not plastic. It is an extravagant light fixture. A quality piece for an inexpensive price.

It was plastic and it melted the first time I used it so I had to buy a glass replacement window.

It does say tempered glass on the plastic label. The glass is smooth on the underside (where the little plastic button "feet" are), but it is pebbled on top, where you place your food to be cut. That means the glass is opaque, not see-through. It also has a slightly green tint. I was disappointed since the description and some comments suggested it was clear like a window pane. I assume the company changed since those comments were made.

ours are definitely plastic, which is what I prefer - in our household glass would break sooner rather than later... these still look very nice, not at all foggy or scratched.

It's made of plastic I thought it was glass by the description and the price

My Bodum is tempered glass not plastic. I bought it thinking it was plastic for travel purposes. It's large and holds a lot of liquid. For travel I wish I would have chosen a smaller one. For home, it's great.
