1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Quality, February 24, 2010

This review is from: Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar (Kitchen)

These carafes are like artwork in the refrigerator. The acrylic jar is sturdy and easy to handle even when full.

Washing has not been a problem as long as the contents aren't allowed to dry (meaning rinse it out as soon as it becomes empty).

The worst part about this product is the lid. The flip-top lid does not stay open unless it's pushed all the way back. Then, when pouring, the contents splashes because there's no vent hole in the lid. Lastly, the shape of the lip on the lid causes a small, but very noticeable amount of liquid to remain on the lid, which unfortunately turns into a gross and crusty mess very quickly. I would recommend keeping a towel or rag near-by to wipe off the lid after each use.

Update - 3 months after purchase

I purchased several of these carafes and in just 3 months one has been discarded because it cracked on the bottom and began to leak, while all the others have developed cracks in the neck. I would strongly recommend against purchasing this product for refrigerated liquids.

It seems to be more well suited as a serving container that will be used for an event and then emptied before being stored.

This review is from: Prodyne J-36-W Acrylic 36-Ounce Juice Jar, White (Kitchen)

Summary:
Overall, I like the design and my particular use of the carafe and plan to purchase another one. Pros: good design, sturdy, leakproof. Cons: Jar has screw threads, therefore cannot display alone without lid; spout cover may lose its tight seal over time.

Details:
The acrylic carafe looks as it does in the photo.

I am using this "juice jar" for plain water as a covered carafe at the office and on my nightstand, so I cannot comment on issues related to other drinks. (For example, I would imagine that like any glass or plastic container, there might be staining from juices, acid, or milk after a while.)

The 36 oz jar is about 12-14 inches high. It's around 3 inches diameter at the base.

The carafe itself has very clean lines with virtually no visible seams, so when it sits on the table, it looks like glass. The acrylic bottle itself is sturdy and feels smooth. When filled, it does not tip over easily because of the wide bottom. I love the shape because it reminds me of the cafes in France where one could always get a glass carafe of tap water upon request.

Because the lid is a screwtop, the screw threads are on the mouth of the bottle, just like a glass jar. Still, I would not mind putting this jar--with or without lid--on the dining table to serve water or lemonade. Though I was considering a real glass carafe:

The Wine Enthusiast U-Shaped 5-pc. Wine Set

Royal VKB French Glass Carafe VKBA 0008

Riedel Vivant 3-pc. Wine Set

Anyway, I digress.

The Prodyne juice jar lid has a pouring hole covered by a smaller flip top with a clear rubber stopper that is supposed to seal the opening. Mine seals it well enough that if I slowly turn the bottle upside down, it is leakproof. However, it is not a tight seal, so I think that over time, it will eventually loosen and not be as secure. Even right now, I wouldn't want to knock the bottle over, because it will likely cause the flip top to fall open.

Since I'm using the carafe as a water pitcher, I haven't needed to scrub it. To do so would require a bottle brush, as the neck is wide enough for an ice cube, but too narrow to put an adult hand in. Watch out for small children who can get their hands stuck, though. Common sense for acrylic: rinse it out immediately after using for other beverages and don't leave colored drinks in there for too long.

For the purpose that I'm using it, though, I am quite happy with it.

Fantastic for ice water, and even without the lid, your cat can't sneak up and drink out of it. Great price, great design, don't put it in the dishwasher if you want it to last forever, but I found it to be the perfect nightstand ice water receptacle! I have 5 of them.
