I thought I would be able to fill this from the top of the base, but the cap is on the bottom. So I need to fill it then flip it? Will it leak?

No, you definitely fill it from the top of the base. Then, you screw the punching bag on top of it. My husband absolutely loves the Century Wavemaster. He said it's good all the way up to heavy punching (he's a heavy weight boxer used to punching a 100# bag.

There is no top when it's flipped over it acts as a lid to the unit. It is open to the air but I use one whole container so there isn't ussually water sitting in it.

Yes, mine has a pin hole in the cap and mine does not leak. Maybe yours is faulty

Fill the container and screw the top back on flip it once quickly to right it - some small amount of water will come out and I haven't found a way not to lose a bit of water when turning it, but it is only a little bit.

No- I just filled one with water and turned it upside down, and nothing leaked out. It is a super tight seal

No, not really. You unscrew the water tank, turn it upside down, and the opening you fill it through is about 3 inches wide when you take the cap off.

You're only suppose to fill it up to the last black line on top. Anything higher will cause it to overflow.

Not sure I understand the question. As long as the lid is screwed on, it does not leak but, obviously, if you remove the lid and turn it on its side the contents will pour out.

The bottom of the planter is solid, but about an inch up on the sides are slits in the plastic. If you overfill, the water will flow out. As for the reservoir, I believe you can fill it up to the hole where the watering can would be inserted....see the top two holes above the ribbed area....that is where you fill.

The one I purchased leaked once. I just made sure the cap was in the locked position and no more leaks. I also purchased one of these fine units for my mother, who lives in a nursing home. THe nursing assistants help locked the bottom cap, as she has difficulties dues to arthritis in her hands.

I know when I use mine I fill it about half full with warm water. Then I snap it on top of the rest of the unit and plug it in. I have not had any leakage doing it that way.

Yes, you have to remove it to fill it. You have pull it out, as the opening is on the bottom.

You are correct in not pleasing everyone. Yes, on following the manufacture's instructions. The leaks come from the screw on cap getting loose while the unit grinds down the contents - in reverse of how you tightened it in the first place. There is a hole in the power unit so the liquid drains out but it is very messy. :)

Yes, you can fill from the top. Personally I use a small kitchen funnel, but if you have a steady hand no funnel is required.

Yes, and the seal can be pretty snug, so I take the reservoir out of the base and hold it between my feet/knees while I unscrew the cap to fill.

I found out that if you unscrew the cap just a little, enough to let the air in or to seep out, but not totally unscrew it then blow into the top (with the cap still on), it will blow up better & not leak air. You just tighten it once you have it where you want it. If you totally take off the top, it will be harder to get the top back on before it leaks out too much air.

No, the bluish canister lifts out of bottom. Flip it over and there is a twist off cap. Once off, you refill canister with water and screw cap back on. Very easy!
