Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bormioli Rocco Gelo 2-Piece Glass Pitcher Set with Lids, Red and Green
Customer Review: Broken upon arrival, but got refund
Summary: 3 Stars
I am giving this product 3 stars just on GP (general principle). I say this because I really wanted the product. It is so very hard to find glass pitchers that are reasonably priced anymore. I wanted them for ice tea. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that they arrived smashed to smithereens. They are only a liter size. Wish I could comment on the lids and how they worked for me... alas it was not to be.
I will give Amazon this much, there was no problem with getting a refund. When the package arrived, the postal person advised me to refuse delivery. All you could hear was the lovely sound of tinkling glass. Amazons return protocol would appear to prefer that I had accepted and then printed out the label for return and enclose return authorization, but it all worked out in the end.
I didn't end up reordering for two reasons. First, the price went up, and second, I had second thoughts that it might be too small for my needs.
Customer Review: Handle too tight
Summary: 3 Stars
We got the Bormioli Rocco Gelo Refrigerator Jug 2 Piece Set, One Red Lid and One Green Lid. The handle on one is so close to the body that it is nearly impossible to grip, even for a woman with small hands. Something went wrong in the glass-making process. Very disappointing. We already had an old "Frigorella" brand that we love, and thought these would be the same. Would be great except for the manufacturing defect. Too expensive to ship them back, so will probably junk the one with too-tight handle, meaning that we spent nearly $12 for one jug. Otherwise, we like that the pitcher is made of glass and that the compact shape that fits easily in the refrigerator.

Customer Review: Good for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
These glass jugs are not perfect by any means, but the for the price they are pretty good. They are very solid, but not too heavy. The handle is strong and feels right in my hand. I think the handle is perfect for pouring and well designed. It is true that they are prone to dribbling. You just have to be careful. They could be better designed, but I am still happy with them. It's so hard to find glass anymore that I was just relieved to finally find something to put my tea in that wasn't plastic, and wasn't too expensive. Each jar is one liter, which is a little over four cups. They are each about the size of my Sigg. So they are not very big, but that is good because it allows them to be solid without being heavy.
My jugs arrived in perfect condition and well-packaged.
Customer Review: Satisfactory
Summary: 3 Stars
My lids certainly don't seal. There is a "spout" opening in the lid, but no matter which way you turn it, it will still pour or dribble if you tip the pitcher. I expected this from the reviews and ordered anyway, because at least there is some kind of lid. It's not easy to find a good pitcher with a good lid, so I settled. I'm just using it for water at room temp, so at least the lids keep the dust out of my water! The glass is thick, the shape is convenient, the delivery was timely and I'm satisfied with my purchase.Customer Review: Lid does not seal jug
Summary: 3 Stars
The glass is nice and the shape is great for fitting into the refrigerator door. However the lid does not seal the jug, so you can't shake your orange juice to mix it up. Also, if you pour your beverage with the lid in place, it causes the liquid to dribble. This means the contents will always need to be stirred, which is a nuisance and you need to remember to remove the nearly useless lid before you pour. My quest for some really useful glass liquid containers for the refrigerator continues!
