The pitcher appears to be glass, but the ice container is supposedly plastic. Is the ice container removable? Is the lid still usable in that case?

Yes it is, actually that's what I've done for the winter months where I still need to maintain my water intake but don't need it ice cold.

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice container are plastic. I removed the ice part and have never used it, the lid portion still fits into place without it and we found it unnecessary.

Yes, the pitcher is made of glass. The plastic ice container unscrews at the top from the lid. The plastic top can be used with or without the center container. The pitcher is surprisingly very wide and deep at the bottom. I use it in the summer to make sangria. It is an amazing product. Buy one if you still can. You will not be disappointed.

Yes, you can remove the plastic ice container and still use the lid. But just F.Y.I. I'm sending mine back because the first time I tried to wash it, it cracked from top to bottom. It was almost as if the whole thing is just too heavy and there was too much stress at the handle. I also was not aware that the insert was plastic. That was a bummer.

It has no cooling device or insulation, so it's like a glass pitcher. If you put ice in with the drink, it will keep the beverage cold until the ice melts.

The pitcher is made from glass. The lid is supposed to be the kind of plastic that is not bad for you. Hope this helps.

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 would NOT put the pitcher in the dishwasher (or pour very hot water in it) as it will deform. The lid is fine in the DW, but I never put the gasket in there.

I'm not sure what the pitchers with the newer iced tea makers are like but no, the plastic is not the old brittle kind that eventually ends up cracking. This is a totally different type of plastic. In fact, I plan on purchasing a 2nd one to replace my last brittle plastic one.

No, the plastic lid is solid except for the pour spout opening. The center plastic holds ice, and screws onto the bottom of the lid.

Pretty much like every other plastic pitcher. The handle is incorporated into the collar that screws onto the top of the pitcher. It's pretty stable. My one complaint us that the pitcher is tall and hard to fit on my refrigerator shelf. I suggested that the manufacturer might want to shorten the pitcher. Their response: lay the pitcher on its side. There's a space saving idea. Lol

It's glass... You would have to add ice... I use mine for kombucha.. So I really don't know

The lid of this pitcher is attached with a very small, and in my opinion, inadequate joint. It broke (quite predictably) when I was washing the pitcher. I did not buy another one. So I would suggest stirring the contents with a large spoon. Shaking will possibly break the lid and the product is anyway by no means leak proof if you do! It's a shame that the joint is so fragile, or it would be a very good pitcher.

Yes, the box says the pitcher is lead crystal. Maybe look for "crystalline" as I think that is lead-free.

The container is a high impact plastic, not glass. It is pretty tough. I have dropped it many times and it has never broken. (:

absolutely! Everyone should have this pitcher, it holds more, blends better, the double insulated walls keep it frozen longer (although it's never full long) Buy it now!

Yes. Best purchase I've made in a long while. I have the pitcher as well.Very well made. Highly recommend.

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.
