is it airtight? will it leak if I put something like watermelon in it?

Each section has a cover over it. I feel that watermelon would be fine, but I wouldn't put anything like soup in it.

It seals fairly well. It depends how you commute to work. I have packed meat with sauce for my husband. He bikes to work and he never complained about spillage. He makes sure the box stay flat on the back of his bike. I think it can handle watermelon, but don't stick it vertically in a backpack.

Yes. It is leak proof. Make sure all four tabs are locked in place. That is how i mixed the salad. This is the best salad container for commuters that i found.

There is a rubber seal on the inside of the plastic lid. Some of them still leak. I certainly would not call them airtight.

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.

Yes, just the same as a metal lid on a jar. I wouldn't say it's airtight, but it does not spill.

Hmmm. Maybe. And it's inexpensive enough to try it out. I would think it would only work well with some water pressure behind it; so it may not "juice" as well. Now if you are emptying out the watermelon and replacing with juice, that might work better. The shaft would be barely long enough, so you may want to put a big washer behind it, inside the melon. It comes with a hex nut that is supposed to secure it to crockery. It's a bit rubbery to make a good seal. Never heard of this, but it sounds cool!

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

They are not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

It may depending on how juicy the produce is you are pureeing. I've never had a leak, however, I still place a container under just in case.If it does leak it will be minimal.

It's not watertight, so use a bag. If the bag leaks it will be on the floor. I don't care as it's slim, beautiful, and fits my needs.

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.

Yes it will leak. I have carried tea in it to work and had this issue. I now keep it upright.

I have to put it in a ziplock sandwich container to keep it from leaking. I put other stuff in with it.

I'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The lid does not fit tightly no. There is no rubber gauging, or anything else that would make it at all airtight. I use mine to store candies on my desk, and while it would work just fine for cookies you expected to be consumed in a day or two, I wouldn't use it for anything beyond display purposes. (Though, throwing a piece of yeasted bread in there with your cookies will help un-stale cookies, if you don't already know that trick.)

It is not leak proof. I don't believe it is intended to store fluids, but it is great for other foods.

Yes, tho not like air or water tight, so I'd not leave it knocked over long or kick it around, but it doesn't leak or spill with a bag in it if bumped or knocked over.
