Does this close airtight?

Airtight, no - absolutely not. It is not good for storing hazardous chemicals or stinky dead animals.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I havepurchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

This is like any other plastic container. As far as an airtight seal I would say no. But once the lid is on it seems to fit fine. I would say it should keep ants out as long as it's on correctly.

it did before i had it installed - i guess it will close as good as it supposed to - i realize it being light its not airtight. but i m glad i bought this vent - i had purchased another but returned it to the local store - it works great not as loud .

No. Its not air/water tight. There is no seal whatsoever. The cap is just a cover with a spout for the water. The space for the spout is always open and the water can come out anytime.

It is a solid closure, but I would not say airtight... technically speaking.

yes, you can and should release any left over pressure before storing - it does not have a seperate valve to release the air pressure - it is done with the closing/opening handle

I don't really know I had a very large copper container given to me at Christmas so I use that because once it is closed it is really hard to open so I assume it is air tight. I don't know if this will make Amazon happy but I am going to tell you that we don't care for this popcorn so hope you are happier with it then we are. Also look into the new rubbermaid products they might have what your are looking for.

It has a rubber seal. It would be airtight but it's not a super strong seal so it wouldn't be great for long term storage.

This container does not make an air tight seal, it has a filter that absorbs CO2 and allows the coffee to breath. My coffee stays fresh to the end and always smells great, better that it did in my old air tight container.

No not a tight seal at all, very decorative but not good for anything you need air tight.

Correct it does not completely close/seal. There is a small opening to pour. Hope that helps.

It has a rubber gasket, so it is intended to be airtight. Would I trust it to be as airtight as a steel can? Maybe not, but it seals up well.

Lids are not loose they fit tight. Not sure what you mean by airtight , but the lids on mine fit tight ,sometimes its hard to get them off .

It doesn't seal but it does fit tight. I use it to store cinnamon and sugar and it works great for that.

No, there is one (someone else reported two, but I only remember one) intentional hole in the silicone sealing gasket - perhaps about 1mm in diameter. So it is not truly airtight. But because the hole(s) have a very small area, there is very little communication between the jar and outside - it keeps dry rice very well.

No it is not airtight. I would not suggest it for something that needs to be stored in a airtight container
