Bucky - if at the time of my last purchase, I had had a choice, I would have gone for glass for absolutely, positively sure.
What does your plastic blender look like after zapping egg shells, dog food nibbles, almost any other hard bits and pieces.
I love my blender with its glass container but...
I can't offer any recommendations because it's an Oster I bought in 1969 and is still going...
Umm, what kind of diet are you on, again?
That must be a record. 47 years and you never shut it off?
Wait. Sorry.
47 YEARS, AND YOU NEVER SHUT IT OFF? I'D BE DEAF BY NOW.
Okay, maybe my terminology is off...maybe not. On the bottom of the blender is a round metal plate, inside that is a 'gear' that is round on the outside, and has 8 indents, the indents fit the 4 sided post that comes out of the blender motor/base. When you place the blender on it's base, these part fit together and are all metal. As to what is inside the motor portion, I have no idea.

Hi neptune. Just curious, why glass?
Wow, that's pretty amazing!I can't offer any recommendations because it's an Oster I bought in 1969 and is still going like new.
Thanks, Katie.Good luck in your quest.
I have a Cuisinart Powerblend Duet, which has a 48oz glass blender jar and 4 cup food processor that both fit on one base. I have had it for over 10 years and I have never had a problem with it.

...So far, I'm thinking about this blender:
Oster® 16-Speed Blender with Food Chopper - Brushed Nickel - Glass Jar at Oster.com.
I figure if it has 16 speeds, the first few probably can't be that loud.
