Sciencent Glass Beaker Sets (250mlX6)

TL;DRPros:Great customer servicePromt customer serviceGood productCons:Glass beaker may lose a fight with a cast iron panMeasurements on the glass may not be accurate, measure contents before filling I'd recomend.I have used these beakers for a long time. I probably didnt need to order another set but my roommate had a slight kitchen mishap and the glass beaker broke (allegedly the beaker and a cast iron pan got into a fight, the pan has been taken in for booking, roommate sticks to her story she was out of town).When the shipment arrived, one of the beakers was broken (worst nightmare, right?). Amazon wanted me to ship the broken glass back but I contacted the seller directly (their info is all on amazon, it was easy)and made sure they did want a box of broken glass. Shockingly they said no (and they replied within the quarter hour).A few emails back and forth in under 24 hrs (sending pics and clarifying things) they sent a new shipment out.When it arrived in a few days (i think 3) they sent A ENTIRE NEW SET. They were a pleasure to work with, very prompt and kind.I feel bad that glass broke during shipping, but that just might be the nature of the game with shipping delicate things. There a good amount of foam padding in the box, so I believe it was the RND gods bestowing their blessing on me.The beakers are good, I dont trust the markings on the bottle to be 100% accurate. I measure the weight and the Ml of what I'm working with to be sure. But it looks close for a inaccurate job (it all depends on what you use these for. I mix some not friendly chemicals, so I need to be acccurate).10/10 will order again as needed (hopefully the cast iron pan gets denied parole and my roommate doesnt "go out of town" again.

I was so happy to receive this set for soap making. The different sizes are super-useful, and it was packed EXTREMELY well and nothing was broken. I keep all the packing stuff to pack them back up because I'm making soap while traveling. And everything still fits safely back in the box. I try never to take them from boiling hot to freezing cold or anything, but I've accidentally boiled some soap over in one of them and it was still just fine, so they can handle pretty hot temps. I am really not sure about the accuracy, because I don't need exact measurements. Good set and good value. The tiny one and the tall tiny one are really good for colorants and scents.

These beakers are so perfect for many users in your pursuit of art!! I love mine!!

These are nice beakers, packed with lots of foam & bubble wrap, but the product box was squished and one beaker broke. Heading back to Amazon, but the squishing was before the Amazon box, so it's hard to expect unbroken replacements.

I had some hesitancy about ordering these beakers since I wasn't sure whether there were 5 or 6, and there were reports that they came soiled and/or broken. What I got were six beakers in the sizes indicated. All were low form except for the 50ml which was twice as tall as the 25ml (see image) -- kind of weird, I'd never seen a beaker of that aspect ratio; however pouring from it should be easier than in the case of the low form shape. Btw, pouring from a low form beaker that is more than half full is usually unwise -- owing to the geometry involved the liquid will tend to pour out in a wide stream. The beakers were clean, although I did wash them since I may use them for food prep. They all arrived unbroken. Given the huge amount of packaging/padding involved (see image) I can't imagine how it would be possible for breakage to occur in shipping unless dropped from a plane onto rocks. The graduations are typical for beakers (see image), i.e. they are approximate, fine for cooking, not so much for analytical chemistry. If you're interested in accuracy, look into graduated cylinders, pipettes, and volumetric flasks. They claim to be borosilicate glass; if they were properly annealed, they should be similar to Pyrex or Kimax with regard to thermal stability. I haven't heated them.

I dont usually write reviews on how a product is packaged but these were very well done. Thick foam in between all beakers, arrived in a well packaged box with bubble wrap that was inside another well packaged bigger box. Arrived unbroken and all appear as described. Markings on the glass are clear and easy to read without blemish. I would order from this seller again.

Items came broken 😡

I've often wished I had somethin like these to measure various things around the house. They feel like great quality. They were very carefully packaged. I used to work in hospital laboratories and reference labs. These look and feel like what I used.

Nice assortment of sturdy glassware. Happy with purchase.

Fantastic glass for making herbal remedies.

Nice beaker for measuring stuff. I use this for measuring how much cream I put in my coffee. I'm trying to get the perfect double double from Tims and so far so good.

i broke one so i needed a quick replacement

Well made beaker with an excellent no drip spout. However, the measurement lines are only an approximation. Calibration shows a 15% inaccuracy. Useful only if one accounts for this. Casted glass kitchen measuring cups have far higher accuracies but very poor spouts. This beaker is really only good as a no drip pouring vessel.
