This glass bowl was a Christmas gift from my kids last year. I loved the big size, the pouring spout, the lid, the measurements on the side, and that it provided the capability to view all the ingredients as they were being mixed. HOWEVER - a couple days ago I was fitting it onto the base of the mixer and the bowl bumped against the mixer - more like tapped against it - and all of a sudden the bowl had a crack about half the way down the side. This bowl was never dropped, never took a hard hit. Was never put in the freezer. I'm super disappointed - it was an expensive gift that didn't hold up.
