does the lid lift up and stay (like on a hinge) - or do you have to take the lid all the way off each time you take stuff out or put more stuff in?

Hi!! No hinge, lid comes off. My husband uses it to fry fish, it uses very little oil and clean up is so easy!! It strains the oil.

My husband did say that he doesn't usually even use or need the lid, he said it not having a hinged lid doesn't seem to be a problem at all, hope you find what you want!!

You must take the lid off, there is no hinge that enables you to stabilize it in place. The inability to reach frying temperature (350-375 degrees) and the very slow recovery to heated oil is far more of a problem then the lid.

You lift the lid off. It doesn't have any hinges. I love the clean up. It is so easy if you don't over fill.

Slide thumbnail under one side of the lid, push up, lift, then repeat on opposite side. Repeat all around. It's a little tricky and annoying at first but not too bad.

It just lifts out. I just use my fingers to lift it out after cleaning it, it rests back on rim of pot

The entire lid lifts up and opens. The smaller cutout on the front is just the clamp that secures the lid to the container; there is no smaller door or opening. I have the 50lb container.

The lid has to be lifted off to empty. Not difficult and the basket has pretty good capacity. Overall I like the shredder. For me it operates as advertised.

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

Along the lip of the lid, there is a plastic 'tab' that you pull horizontally and you will keep pulling all the way around the lid until its removed. Hope that helps!

Yes...Yes, it stays up, you need to tighten the screws to adjust how easy or hard it is to stay open. If it is loose, the lid will fall down. If it's too tight, you won't be able to open it. Once it's configured, it works great. Over time, you might need to readjust it b/c it might loosen.

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.

The little lids lift up easily. My hands are still nimble and I had no trouble at all. I like the way the other three lid covers stay shut when you open one lid cover to dump out the contents.

Yes, the ceramic crock lifts out of the base. What is really nice is that the top can be secured on to the base so that the ceramic pot cannot come out if you want to transport it. I have personally lost a lot of lids to the fact that they couldn't be secured, slid off and broke.

No, the "lid" does not stay up after a while but it doesn't go totally flat. My dog has learned how to lift it up with his head and crawl in, so it hasn't been much of a problem. We have the X-Large one.

It does not "lift" off.....it slides to either side by pivoting on the rivet in the lid.....very carefully lift slightly on the handle and move to either side...the first time it is very stiff but after that it is easy to use the feature.

Not sure why it says that. The lid lifts up but the lid frame comes off . The lid is attached to the outer frame . Hope this makes sense

It comes off easily. It will come off if you lift it by the top when full. It has worked well for us - except when I forget to not pick it up by the top when full!

The lid can be removed. There are hinges that do keep it in place but I have by accident removed it completely, it does attach easily.

The lid portion is completely separate from the bin but stays on with mine. The hinges attach the lid opening part of the top portion. I do use it next to a wall but don't have problems.
