Absolutely not AIR TIGHT. I store hulled barley in one and Brown rice in the other for daily nutrition. Buy a 30cal US Army Surplus Ammo Can for Seed Storage they seal air tight.

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

It is not totally air tight. I don't fill it up completely, so I'm adding beans every few days. Having said that, I've never had an issue with freshness.

I bought three of these years ago to store fruit that I had dehydrated. They are attractive and with the wide mouth, it's easy to access the contents. In my mind, it all depends on whether you need them to be reasonably airtight. These jars are not. By the way, there is a small circular gasket in the lid that keeps it tight and prevents rattling (they don't screw on). That gasket came off on one of my three jars so it really is not usable anymore. Again, if it needs to be airtight, it is not. I hope this helps.

i own this, with a properly placed seal it should be airtight. the seals remove for cleaning. if you do not install them correctly then it will not be air tight. they are pretty easy to install. i am happy for the price i paid. tupperware made nice canisters but they will cost you twice as much and they are not clear.

No, it is not airtight. If u pack anything that contains liquid, it will leak.

Hey hey�❗️Well, I wouldn't say this is an air tight container. Top fits pretty securely in my opinion but not blocking out air completely though. No seal of any kind. Just good coverage for a good pan. I think you'll like it. I so kindly hope this helps u. Toodle-loo�

No, I don't think it is airtight. There is no sealing material between the lid and box. Nor is there any on the "hinge-y" part of the lid.

It has a pretty tight seal but I don't know if it would be tight enough for dried fruit.

I repackaged mine in 1 gallon ziplocs and have had it on the shelf for 8 months with no problems. Because it is a dry product, I don't believe you need to freeze it to store it.

I am not sure I would describe it as "airtight" but the larger casserole lid does fit securely and will stay put when you are transporting anything in the carrier. The smaller casserole lid is not as secure. It will work lose, it just does not fit as tightly as the big one, and things will leak, so when I use that one I try to make it very firm around it using towels or pot holders, etc., if I am trying to take the small dish in the carrier to another location. I have secured it with foil or sometimes even a small bungie cord rapped around. The bigger casserole with the lid in place has never needed any other help.

Like a rubber seal? No. It just has a rim that's all. So, it's not airtight or anything. Not sure if that answered the question

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.

I don't know for sure but I don't think would be airtight. I have never had an ant problem with the product, however, but I only use it periodically. I don't use it every day.

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

I keep dried beans, grains, nuts, and seeds in them in the freezer throughout the summer. Works fine. I have not used them for anything that contains water.

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.
