Quality- is it worth it? People say lid doesn't shut well?

In my experience, the lid shuts fine, but you do have to make sure you hear it "snap" closed all the way.

The lid on my unit fits perfectly fine and I have never had problems with it. You can disconnect the lid by the rear hinge for easier cleaning and filling.

Mine's is closed well, no problem at all, love this one specialty with this kind of price, you can't find a better deal.

I don't have any problem with the lid fitting correctly...it fits well, not absolutely air-tight, but good for cookies, etc. Haven't ever washed it in the dishwasher, so can't speak to that issue...but I don't think that I would do that.

I love mine. I've had mine for almost a year now and grill/smoke everything on it from pork butt to pizza. I wanted a big green egg, but like others have said, did not want to invest the money it one of those just yet. Controlling the temp does take some practice, but once you get it, it's pretty good at staying around it. The one big thing I will also compliment them on is their customer service. They have great customer service. Mine arrived with a dent in the lid and after I emailed them they asked for invoice and picture of the damage, I had a replacement lid within a week. The only thing so far that I have found negative is the bolts they use are kinda crappy. They do the job, but I am tempted to replace them all with stainless steel.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

I've used this product about 6-8 times so far and absolutly love it. I seek out things to pressure can. As long as the little arrow on the lid lines up when I twist it closed, I have no issues at all. Sounds like something is defective and I would try to return it if you still can.

Were you ever able to get the lid off? I had to throw mine out (don't know what brand) and I am looking for one that will not have that problem. NB

The lid fits very well, although I don't believe it would be watertight. No rattling though, which i think is great

Does not appear to be a problem. Lid closes slowly, hard to force quickly so has not happened to my son.

Dear Doris, the squeezing is easy and fast, the cleaning is no problem and the design is marvellous. 20 years ago I would have surely recommended it. Nowadays you should look for better quality. Do yourself a favour. Don't buy it.

YES, it works great. I've had mine for a little over two years now and love it. The only thing you must do is to remember to PUT THE LID DOWN, EVERY TIME.

Definitely clicks when you put on the lid. Then the lid is somewhat loose while on. It would not come off if you shook it, it requires a little force to remove the lid. The lid is not airtight.

Yes. You're right. But the edge of the inner lid did rust after a few months. Not really important

Yep, it has held up for us but just have to make sure the lid is snapped on securely. I wouldn't recommend anything that is of more runny consistency though. If I'm unsure I just put it in a zip lock or snack bag

It wasn't the case for me. I mean the lid cost like 5 bucks at the time I bought it. If it did leak a little.. what do you expect. I have enjoyed mine since I got it. I have chopped up pepper/vinegar sauce that I use my lid with. Just buy one and find out. If you are wrong it cost you 5 bucks. You will live.

Yes, easy on and off. Fairly thin.not the greatest on sturdiness. Not leak proof. Id give them a 3 out of 5. I do use them often and reuse. But occasionally the lids piss me off.
