I also have several of these containers ... all different sizes and I use them for dog treats. So they are opened at least once daily and I've had noproblem with the lids. I did have a problem with one of the lids not "seating" right after using it for awhile. The lid was fine but the containeritself had a small crack in it probably from me forcing the lid. I would recommend these ..

I have no clue as to the warranty, but I believe any seller would back-up the product if that occurred in a reasonable time of purchase. I have several of them and have never had that happen. The top is very sturdy. I've had mine for a long time.

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.

I haven't had any issues with the lids and we use them a lot...I have 2-dogs that think they should get a treat every time somebody gets up. My dad is 81 yrs old and has arthritis, I have a lot of the OXO containers...he loves them. I don't remember reading anything about a warranty.

My lid (detachable part part) warped after 10-15 uses so that it no longer closed securely. It is NOT a sound design.

the bottom one is easy.... but the lid cover was a pain to get off.... I thought I was going to break the screen because of the amount of pressure i used. BE CAREFUL. I opened the lid and then started on the side trying to pry it up a little with my right hand while with my left got my fingernail underneath the little clip and pushed it up till it popped off. Then you have to get off the left clip which was even harder..... good luck and be reallly extremely careful.

I was able to make it work but one should be very careful doing it. The Mr. Coffee's lid closing mechanism being made of plastic, I'm not sure how long it would take the pressure when closing the lid. I'm not just talking about the latch but the whole top part. Hopefully it would last a long time.

The simple answer is "Yes and No." I.e. yes, it can be easily pressed; and no, it is not hard to press!

What does "break" mean? My issue is that the lid doesn't open all the time. I have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing the button and sometimes even forcing the lid open with a knife. Not good. If yours isn't working at all, I would keep bothering customer service. You might get different people each time, and you never know who might want to help or if they might want to help just to make you go away! Ha ha. Good luck.

It is really hard. I used the palm of my hand the first time and it hurt (i'm a pretty strong guy) Use a rubber mallet. I also removed the plastic zip lock thing that holds the lid on and it worked better. Pound pound pound

I am not sure if there was a warranty. I have had my Norpro Stainless Steel Citrus Juice Press for over a year and have had no problem. It did not rust, and living on the ocean, that is really amazing!

Yes, you don't need much leverage or strength. In fact, I suggest you be fairly gentle when opening and closing the lid. It's not hard to rotate it too far when opening it, which will jam it.I've had mine for just a couple of months, and I love it. Today, I am using it as a slow cooker with the included glass lid and an induction cooktop. Unfortunately, the lid fell off my kitchen table, and the plastic handle broke a couple of weeks ago. I'm waiting to hear from Fagor how much it will cost to repair.

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

That was difficult for me too. I tried the "push button" method like with metal lids but that didn't work so well. After the jars had cooled off, (a couple of hours) I lightly pulled on the lid. there were a couple of lids that seemed sealed but when I was putting them away, the lid came off. I really didn't have any more failed seals than with the metal lids, just harder to tell.

I simply place a used refilled K-cup in the same machine socket, seated on the same pin and compress the lever. A new lid will make a snapping noise when punctured. I use these lids over and over until the top becomes brittle and cracks. They're great! I've used them daily for several years with nary a problem. Best wishes, John Watts, League City, Texas

I've had the coffeemaker for 3 months now and the lid is still stiff. Don't worry! Put your thumb under the lever and your four fingers across the top. Push down with your fingers and lift the lever up and back with your thumb. Hope this helps!

My lid broke. I contacted the manufacturer, and purchased a replacement from them.

I did discover that the first time I used it I hadn't snapped lid all the way shut. Worked great after that. And yes you have to renew the disc every so often.

I don't know if the plastic lid will break, ours hasn't. But the clips that hold the base together will DEFINITELY break after you use only a few times. Even when I talked to the Cusinart customer service rep, they said they know about the problem and aren't doing anything about it.

I have had this SS version only a month so can't really say as to the durability of the plastic on the lid. I don't put the lid in the pot until the coffee has brewed for four minutes. A recent purchaser complained of a "taste" associated with the lid (which may be caused by the plastic), so wait on the lid until through with brewing and that should solve any problem.
