Is this truly made of glass? Previously, I bought a pair of these. It turned out to be plastic and not glass. SO, is this glass? Thanks.

The glass is glass. If this is the same knock-off brand that I bought, the fit is a bit different than the original. But, of course, your not buying original equipment.

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!

You are correct the description does not say either way, but looking at mine it looks to be Glass tho I am no expert. The Stand Part of it is in fact Plastic.

No it is not made of glass. It is made of a good rugged plastic, both parts. Measurements are embossed. An excellent kitchen accessory.

It's definitely not glass. So, I guess it's plastic, but it isn't like the usual plastic you'd think of. It's not soft and pliable; it feels hard. I've never dropped it, but I assume it probably wouldn't break.

to the best of my knowledge its real glass.I've replaced mine twice and if the glass breaks during removal it breaks just like real glass. I hope this was helpful.

Unfortunately it is not glass. It's the same plastic that the rest of the device is made of, however it does feel very smooth and the travel is nice. The device works very well, honestly I have no complaints about it at all.

I believe it is plastic (I bought a glass replacement when I bought the unit). Make sure you get the version with the real handle. I got the one with a loop that swings up and it's a problem because the whole thing gets really hot and it takes two gloved hands to pour from the hot thing into your cup (one to hold the weight from the top, other to tip it).

To look at it, you would think it's glass, but alas, it's very clear plastic. I'm not ashamed to use mine; I really like it.

I received mine on approximately 1/30/15 and they were not glass. I received two packages of them so I know it wasn't just a mix-up in the shipping as both were plastic.

They are definitely not glass, but I'm uncertain if they are acrylic. Seem sort of plastic to me. Could be acrylic tho.

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!

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

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.

None of it is glass, it is plastic and still capable of cracking if dropped. The plastic is not sturdy as others seem to think it is. If you drop it on a hard surface, it will be damaged in some way, if not unusable.

It is glass. If it is plastic, it's a very good imitation of it. It looks and feels like glass, but I can't give you an exact chemical composition of it to show it's actually glass.

It appears to be plastic. it does not feel heavy enough to be glass. Check wBausch & Lomb to be certain. I love this product as I am so vision-impaired. I have 6 of these in various places; always 1 in my pocket. I use it all the time.
