Are the seals tight?

not as tight as I would have wanted them to be.the dallas dry heat doesnot pose a humidity problem though.they are a eye candy on the countertop for me.I store loose tea ,sugar in them and have not encountered a moisture issue in 3 months use.

When you first look at them, they do not seem to be. I was worried about that, too, because we live is South Florida and ants and humidity are always a problem. Surprisingly, the sugar is not in the least caking, and no ants have even approached it. I do love the way they look and was even willing to use zip lock bags, if necessary, but do not need to. Hope this helps you.

I like the set, but given the cost, I accept that the seals are not the best.I think if the Mfgr.would improve on that,it would make it excellent value.I tend to use baggies just to be sure.

Yes the seals are tight and they look great!! Everything stays fresh in the canisters.

I have had mine running since the day I received it and have never had a bit of problem with the O-ring seals!!! It doesn't leak at all!! They are tight and can be a little hard to get back on at times but I like the way the barrels work!!!

They seem to be pretty air and water tight ... Like with any container, there may be a little leakage, but my lid goes on tight and doesn't move when on. I had to cut holes in my lid for my bread gasses to escape.

Yes there are seals, they are a soft kinda silicone stretchy type rubber that are ribbed and you can remove them without any problems when you need to wash them

Yes they are. They are very cute. Each has its own scent and they seal tightly. Not flimsy and just pop open.

yes, because you always want to make sure the seal is tight. Go around only once (stretch the tape around) Very simple and I had no problems.

Yes, it's possible. They are not air tight seals. Opening and closing is a flap that does not lock onto anything, it just rests on the container.

I will be putting honey in mine and I'm fairly confident that they will seal nicely. The lid is sturdy and twists very tight.

At least for me, they fit very, very tight. I don't believe leakage should be a problem with these.

Not a peep. Even at high speeds and in high winds. The edge is compressed pretty well all the way around so air and water don't compromise the seal.

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

As far as I can tell, yes. Not as "lock-tight" as, say, a Mason jar, but it feels like it seals around the outside edge and the air valve.

no, they are not completely air or liquid tight. they work fairly well, though. i am happy with them.

I can't say for certain if the buckets are air tight, but I can say that they snap on securely in four places. In fact I find it difficult to get the covers off when all four points are snapped down tight. When the Department of Agriculture inspected my processing facility they were impressed and commented on the tight lids on these buckets.

Two of my four canisters had a good seal. The other two had good seal bands, but the lids were not tight so I bought a bag of wide-band rubber bands (containing various sizes) and placed two of the rubber bands underneath the seals for a tighter grip. It works like a charm, and the set is absolutely beautiful!

Only one seal was loose but it was reattached and has not been a problem. There were no flaws or chips in the canisters. We really love them.

If you get a good seal, then they have good isolation. Comes with three different sized tips, so you should be able to get a good fit. I'd say they have really good isolation.
