Is condensation normal with this jar, or is it a sign of a seal leak? Please advise.

if the jar is shut tight, there will be condensation. that is a natural occurrence.

The condensation comes from temperature cycling inside and outside the jar. If the water in the jar reaches a higher temperature than the outside of the jar, then vapor in the bottle will become saturated relative to the inner surface temperature and you'll get condensation. This can happen when the bottle temperature lags behind in a thermal cycle (e.g. a car cooling in the evening) or if the jar is exposed to a heat source like sunlight.

I agree about the sealing. They say to start in cold water....then boil. Although mine did initially seal many loosened in a few days

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

If the seal is too tight I use a bottle cap opener. I will also turn the jar upside down and give the bottom a firm hit a few times. Hope this helps :)

I think a little leaking is normal, make sure the container of water is securely on the base. I set mine on a towel just in case but I haven't noticed much leaking.

I had a similar problem with a Bunn. It was a bad gasket. Question is: How bad is the leak? If it is mild, I would not worry about it. If you are having to clean up a large mess each time I would look for someone who services this make of machine.

You're certain it's from the power cable? One time i experienced the same, however, it wasn't the cable but the seal between the canister and the lid. The rubber seal (which is just a rubber square) was twisted and not sealing correctly :( Check this, otherwise send it back for a replacement. That does not sound good if the power source is leaking:(. Good luck. I've had great luck with this product, i hope the same for you

The bubble is normal. Also, I did not cut the seal nipple as instructed. The gauge works perfectly, and the liquid won't leak out.

Sorry, I haven't needed to check the seals. I would send it back if it's leaking out of the box. I assume that you mean it is new.

I've had mine for months, the gasket seems fine. What can happen is that air escapes if the seal on the compressor, for lack of a better term, is not seated properly. I run the bead that contacts the container under the tap to moisten it. This insures a proper seal with no air escaping. As an aside, gaskets can be hsd very inexpensively.

I have one in a refrigerator right now. I was having a lot of condensation in this refrigerator, so I put one in on the bottom. It's been there a few weeks and seems to help a lot.

Mine has a super tight seal, it's very nice I've been using it since I bought it, several months ago for powder detergent and I've had No moisture problems!!! The lid is certainly in No way flimsy and the fit Is perfect... I haven't done dishwasher and probably won't as I like to wash this sort of thing by hand!

I have never really had any issues. The jar has never had a shrink wrap seal on it no matter where I buy it. I just make sure that the jar is full and not leaking when I receive it.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

I've had some problems with the quart jar sealer. I've tried using two lids but that doesn't work well either. I would appreciate someone telling me what to do.

I agree with Sally's answer- condensation from the lid. I checked all the seals and tighten everything , but there is still water is there.
