Price: $45.00 Pros: Glass is about as sanitary as you can get. You can watch fermentation. Cons: Glass is dangerous. Period. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I still prefer glass over better bottles. I'd have several conicals rather than carboys, if that was a practical solution and an unlimited budget. It's not.

Price: $30.00 Pros: Clear so you can see your wort Cons: It's glass and 6.5 gallons is not enough head space on a 5 gallon batch to avoid blow off. Recommended? Yes
Comments: See above.

Price: $40.00 Pros: Easy to see any unclean spots.
Cheaper than a conical.
No worries of leeching chemicals. Cons: Fragile, DON"T DROP!
Harder to clean. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I own four 6.5 glass carboys. I like using them because I can see what going on in my fermenter. I also like that they don't absorb or emit any chemicals. They can be a pain to clean but because they are clear you can see the spots you missed. Because they are glass, I use a milk crate to tote them around for safety. I've been fortunate to only have one break and spill my beer. It was because I used a siphon devise made of copper and it tapped the glass as I was getting the beer up the tube.

Price: $35.00 Pros: visibility, no staining Cons: harder to clean than a bucket, but not so bad Recommended? Yes
Comments: Get a carboy brush! I always find that cleaning a carboy immediately after racking is the best time to clean it as no crud is caked onto glass. Then all that is required is a sanitizer soak just prior to next brew session

Price: $30.00 Pros: easy to clean. easy to use. if you want a glass carboy. definitely go with this 6.5 gallon Cons: none that i can think of Recommended? Yes
Comments: Other people seem to complain that its too heavy but i don't think it is. I can handle it fine. it cleans easy and it works like a carboy should. There is no need for a blowoff tube as there is plenty of room for the krausen in this carboy.

HoustonAdam's Reviews

Price: $60.00 Pros: I use this one as the primary for my 5 gal batches. Opposed to plastic bucket primaries, with this carboy I can see my beer. It's super easy to clean and sanitize. I can see my beer. It doesn't stain. Cleaning with a brush doesn't scar the surface, leaving it rough. Also, I can see my beer. Cons: If proper care is not taken, light can definitely ruin the flavor of the beer. I ferment in a closet, so this is not much of an issue for me. Glass is heavier than plastic alternatives. I have huge muscles, so this is also not an issue for me. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Glass is a more expensive option, but I feel that it's well worth it.

Price: $5.00 Pros: good head space
easy to clean
easy to add blowoff tube Cons: heavy ass glass Recommended? Yes
Comments: I'm moving to all BB eventually, or once I've broken all my glass carboys, but easy to clean and jam in a standard b/o tube.

Price: $45.00 Pros: Well it's glass and it is easy to sanitize and does not give off any bad chemicals(unless it is cheap glass). The only better product would be a stainless cone fermenter. Cons: difficult to access product.
HEAVY!(Get a strap) Recommended? Yes
Comments: I love my car boys, I just look forward to the day I can afford a cone fermenter
