How well does the lid seal? I'd like to bring it to a party already filled with ice, but if it tips over will it make a mess?

It will tip over unless you tape the sides with masking tape and remove them when you arrive to your party. The container is not that big, it's enough to fill about 10 glasses 1/2 way so if you have more guests I suggest you buy a bag of ice, keep in freezer and fill as it gets empty, unless there's an ice maker at the party that you can use to refill.

It's not a snug fit if you are going to transport it loaded then I would suggest masking tape and a a small box. That said I love it, it looks great on my wet bar and everyone that has seen it has asked ware I got it. Works for me

Yes it will open if it tips. It does not have a tight lid. It slides on and off very easily. It is nice though!

I think for a short term party it would be fine being used as an ice bucket cooler as mine is sealed on all joints. I would still use a plastic liner to protect it. It's a very nice bucket.

The little flip part that covers the drinking hole in the top does not seal tightly, so if the cup is turned on its side, the liquid will drip out. As others have said, this is a great thermos if it it stays upright, but if you need a complete seal, get another. Hope this helps :)

Ho how are you. Well i actually have not used it as of yet until next month on a house warming outdoors... so i really dont have an answer to that. Im sorry.. but i tell you that is well done to put ice for sure...on the bottom also has a small hole where u can drain the water out as well sort of like a wine cork. Is a bit tough to open and close it but eventually it is manageable.

I like this shaved Ice Machine ..the Lid is not really designed to close ...Just to put pressure on the ice so that it can make your shaved ice...My self I usually use just Ice Cubes , but either one will work...

That sound like you need a commercial ice shaver that can handle more capacity if you have big party. It has a freezer storage bin in it's machine. It can be expensive. Mine is good enough for basic need to handle capacity for home party. It has plastic storage bin with no freezer.

Yes, it will tip if not mounted and not stand up with the lid open. Mine isn't mounted, but is stored leaning on a wall.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.

It doesn't fall over easily, wobbles but tends to stay upright. And if lid tight it doesn't leak at all when tipped or upside down.

The top screws on easily and it's not prone to cross-threading. I've never had a problem with leakage while shaking the ingredients. What I do is hold my index finger over the stopper when I shake. The angles tip-end of the stopper seems to be made for putting my finger there. Sometimes a small amount of pressure builds up inside from moving the container between the refrigerator (where it's cold) and the table (where it warms up). I feel this confirms the stopper's rubber gasket creates an air-tight seal.

It is not marked in any way. We've filled it to just below the top of the mixer (about 3/8" down) to prevent spillage. Due to the speed of the blade, if it's to full, it will spill over. This isn't a real problem, just wipe it off. The most important thing is to Enjoy your frozen treat. We just love getting creative, 2 quarts at a time.

It should all snap together, they are a little tough sometimes, and the lid only fits one way.I chill mine before adding newly made ice cream.

Sorry, nope - it will leak if you shake it and it's full enough to collide with the lid area

No. It will leak if tipped over. It is a reasonable lid for pouring and keeping in splashes when the fridge door open/closes.

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

I have not used mine yet to test it out however they appear to be well made but i dont know if i would trust it to hold ice without leaking though.

I don't fill this bag with ice nor do I recommend. It has a zip out liner yet it has give to it so to dry it out daily would be a bother. I only dump ice into a cooler when it's a hard case cooler for canned or bottled beverages. Unsure of your needs...but I recommend that if you'll be putting food in the cooler (and not necessarily beverages only) that you use a Thermos ice mat ($1.49) on the bottom of the cooler, pack it AND use the Mueller ice bag ($6.49) placed on top of the packed food. I ALMOST guarantee you'll have an ice cube or two left in the ice bag after 24 hrs!! We, in the airline business use this method often. It's much easier to clean. We pack our food in plastic containers and ziplock baggies with zero concern for water logging our food.
