Does the lid loose integrity after multiple times in the freezer and dishwasher?

Yes, but it takes several years. It's plastic, so it will eventually become brittle. Finding replacement lids can be a bit problematic, but overall these cups (and their lids) have worked very well for us for a long time.

I've had mine since June of 2012, in the refrigerator every day, no problems with the lid at all. I hand wash it, keeping the lid clean requires a small stiff brush that can get into the grooves in the lid though. I don't microwave with the lid on, that might do something to the lid but I fill it with hot coffee every day...

I have not used the lid in the freezer, but have ran it through the dishwasher several times and it still seals fine.

I have successfully frozen small amounts of fruit juice, eggnog, and tomato sauce, always leaving sufficient space for expansion. The lid will not hold against the pressure of expanding freezing liquid. The cups will retain sufficient flexibility to eject the frozen material without shattering the plastic cup. The lid will not protect against freezer burn or ice crystal formation on top of the frozen material if the cup is frozen for a substantial period of time--meaning many weeks, but I cannot say how many weeks. I have not reused the cups more than once so I do not know how many freeze/refill cycles the cups will stand. They tend to crease when ejecting the frozen material, so I am guessing they will not stand up to many cycles.

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

Yes, i always had problems with bottles breaking from multiple freezings. This one holds up great! I fill it 3/4 full and leave the lid off every night and it's ready to go the next day. I just ordered five more of these specifically for this reason

i do put this in the dishwasher a few times. The seal can get a bit loose so I would hand wash the lid.

My Anchor Hocking 1.5 gallon jar has tight, well fitting lids. The lids are metal with a plastic "lip" around the inside and not in the least flimsy. I do not put my lids in the dishwasher.

I have a five day igloo cooler that I used in my cook shed before I got my refrigerator and ice maker installed. I was going through the old plastic hinges and latches all of the time. The stainless steel hinges and latches have lasted for around a year. Best investment I ever made. If I buy a new cooler I will replace the hinges and latch with stainless before the plastic ones even break.

Yes. I've sent the containers and the lids through the dishwasher several times.

I haven't put it in the freezer, but it is very very durable. It will only crack after years of use.

I've had one for about 2 years and I always put it in the dishwasher, no problems yet.

I've dropped mine several times and so far no cracks although I wouldn't recommend making a habit of dropping it. : ) As far as cleaning goes, I run the bottom portion through the dishwasher but clean the top two pieces by hand to keep the seals working properly. If you rinse it after each use, cleaning is a breeze.

My lid is fine. Of course, like anything else made of glass, I think you have to be careful when washing it. I put mine in the dishwasher. No more fragile than glass coffee pots etc.

Having had this happen recently when the contents of my freezer skidded out (flexing shelf), I am happy to report that these items did NOT break. The Rubbermaid product (red lid) cracked. These Stor-keeper items are really high quality and last for years. Freezing DOES NOT make the plastic rigid. I saw some criticism with the lid seal. I have found that these seal perfectly, and I've not had any problems.

The manual states the lid is dishwasher safe on the top shelf, standard cycle (no extra heat cycles) however - I found the lid failed to seal to the jug after a few weeks (I use the blender twice a day, at least) so I bought a replacement lid and I hand wash that piece only. The jug I wash in the dishwasher without a problem.

We have hadb3 of these containers for over a year. We get into all of the daily and have had no problems with the lid closure at all.

Over a short period of time the lid will loose its integrity. To prevent this occurance simply handwash, hand dry, and do not use in the microwave.

I've had mine for about a year. I have used it almost every work day since then. I would put it in the dishwasher often (after removing the rubber gasket) although the instructions say not to do that. Although the gasket still fits, my food is now getting cold. I imagine if you hand-wash it per instructions it will last a long time. And I have been using it every day, which I imagine most people don't do.
