    HyperChiller V2 Iced Coffee Maker

    • Cheap plastic not to a freezer standard, unit cracked after 24hrs
    • is that frozen hard plastic will crack once it hits tile floors.
    • I have notice that the plastic could be brittle when you take it right out of
    • Before purchasing I had read reviews about this happening, but figured people weren't following the filling instructions and had overfilled the container, forcing the plastic to crack when the water froze/expanded
    • I'm not certain, but my guess is they are using cheap plastic to make these
    • This is made of cheap quality plastic.
    • I am surprised that the outside plastic shell/housing is expected to endure temperature changes, but so far so good -- used correctly the plastic shouldn't feel much "shock".
    • The item works but the plastic was cracked due to water freezing and expanding where it wasn't supposed to
    • As above, this is made of cheap plastic
    • However mine got bumped off the counter and the top shattered because the plastic was cold
    • I was very familiar with not overfilling the HyperChiller because the freezing could expand and damage the plastic, but now I fill it well below the line to make sure this doesn't happen again
    • The plastic outer cup cracked on first use
    • The manufacturer could have used cheap/brittle plastic which doesn't take kindly to extreme hot and cold
    • The item works but the plastic was cracked due to water freezing and expanding where it wasn't supposed to
    • The plastic at the bottom looks like it has swollen out a little
    • the product is great if you love to chill anything really but the fact the plastic only last this long is absurd.
    • Then I saw that the outer plastic had cracked and water leaked out
    • Great concept but the plastic cracks frozen.
    • Lightweight cheap plastic
    • However it the top shattered into pieces when it fell into a soft plastic lumber floor, and I should mention that it was not frozen at the time
    • Extremely brittle plastic when frozen
    • You have to pour slowly into the shallow plastic lid or it spills over
    • Plastic could be more durable.
    • I'm not sure if this is because of cheap plastic or flaw by design but it sadly led me to return my beloved hyperchiller.
    • the plastic not being strong enough to hold the ice or
    • The plastic cracked after the first use
    • The outside is cheap plastic and cracked.
    • the plastic can't handle the task of freezing then taking hot coffee very much before it splits or breaks pieces off... thus defeating the purpose
    • Then when it refreezes and expands, it exceeds the space available and cracks the plastic.
    • For something that is designed to be frozen I would think it should be better made or and least be made with slightly more sturdy plastic.
    • Which makes me wonder how durable is the plastic
    • I love ice coffee as it keeps the coffee drinkable as a teacher
    • Do not recommend as after maybe a month it started leaking with no resolution
    • It’s not able to be used anymore so that kind of sucks as I thought it would be more durable and last longer.
    • I love iced coffee‘s in the
    • n’t even scream now much I love this product
    • n’t affect the cooling at all.
    • n’t be able to unscrew it to properly clean it, and if you don’t properly clean it the coffee starts to have a burnt after taste
    • n’t be able to unscrew it to properly clean it, and if you don’t properly clean it the coffee starts to have a burnt after taste
    • n’t even scream now much I love this product
    • n’t disappoint
    • Pour over ice and enjoy!I’ve had my unit for almost two years
    • Only downfall is sometimes water will leak (I assume from being frozen and thawed frequently), so could use better sealant in those areas
