Can this container really be carried by the handle when it is filled with something heavy like sugar?

I carry mine around with no issues. I have one filled with flour, sugar, powdered sugar and oats, and often fill them to capacity.

Absolutely, yes. We use it for dog food and it works and carries around beautifully. Just make sure the side locks are properly snapped into place and you're good to go.

Does the handle fold into the lid so something can be put on top of this container, or is it big enough that you don't think you'd stack anything on it anyway?

We use it for cereal which is not as dense as sugar. It weighs about 6 lbs. when filled with cereal and the handle is not an issue. the top snaps tightly on all 4 sides so I think it should be able to deal with a little more weight, maybe 8-9 lbs without a problem. The handle does not budge when lifting a full container of cereal. It is firmly mounted.

While I have never used my container to hold and carry sugar, I know that it can carry approximately six pounds of homemade oatmeal, chocolate chip, coconut macaroons and sugar cookies tightly arranged without causing them breakage. I am confidant that this carrier can hold five pounds of sugar or more. Go ahead and purchase this size container. The plastic is solid and the snap locks are very secure.

maybe hold 20 lbs. of rice... would not TRUST the handle to carry the weight.. SEAL is OK--just hard to snap into place..

No it is not to the best of my knowledge. However it will be heavy when filled up so you will need the handle to roll it around. I find it very useful.

The answer to all questions is no. I just tried to put a bag of sugar in the second canister and it would not hold the entire bag. I bought the set because of the colors,which I like a lot. The opening is big enough for a measuring cup, only if there is nothing in it. Hope this helps.

Mine is filled with Granulated sugar. It holds 3/4 cup with a little room to spare.

you just squeeze the handle and when you have enough in your holder let go of handle. i really like mine. i have used it for pancakes, to butter cupcakes, ( which are thicker). enjoy your..

Yes. It is a spring loaded handle. Just push it up and twist to put it into storage or do the opposite for use.

It has some weight to it but not heavy per se. The handle is a nice size so gripping would not be an issue. Unless extremely frail I thi this is a fine product. Good luck.

It has a handle built into the top of the case and it's not too bad to carry. My unit will not come up to pressure now.

Yes, mine came with a very substantial plastic container with carrying handle.

not really. Just fill the Stainless steel container and slide it into unit and that's about it. It may be heavy for a senor citizen though.

Yes - most of the little items come packed in a container in the handle. It's pretty sweet!

That handle just opens the lid when sitting flat. You would have to clamp it shut somehow to be able to carry it with the big handle.

No problem of that kind with mine. It takes a little pressure to press the top on to the container.

I don't know if you really mean handle. All the containers will come with a lid that has four locking sides. Each side will snap shut. These are the best storage containers I have ever used.

Try putting the container on top the other way around, as in handle on the right side.
