One reviewer kindly mentioned the air vent holes preventing proper sealing if used in the refrigerator. Does anyone else see this as a problem?

I hadn't noticed....but then again...my leftovers usually go into a sealed container.

Mine was fine opened and covered in the refridgerator for a few months. Probably not the best idea, but it was fine. I have another brand unopened on the shelf, last I opened one it was fine.

Yes we had that also. We tried to seal the lid tighter but some how they were still getting in. The only thing we could think was some how they were making it through the vent holes and carbon filter or we weren't sealing the lid on tight all the time.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

I had an older model for one year before I purchased this one . I have no trouble with it sealing ! Maybe people do not like it because they have to push down the "lock" before it will work ? Heaven's !! Not fully automatic ? LOL ! I love mine as do my nurse's and my aid's !

I have had no problems with mine, and it gets a lot of use. I fill with water and fruit and put in fridge and kids and I use all the time- mine is good quality no leaking.

No, I have had no problems. We have RO going through this and over to our refridgerator and it work awesome, I had it professionally installed.

I've have not removed mine yet. I rent an apartment so the fridge does not belong to me either and I plan on staying here a long while....I don't think removing would cause too much harm....

Not entirely sure, but if the bins are sealed, how do you expect something outside of the bins to fix the "problem"...maybe should have thought about that before you let the temperature go up in the closet...plus...the food may be spoiled.

I haven't experienced problems with that. You need to watch for mold under the gaskets though.

Yes because the package has been compromised. From others that this has happened to said the costumer service was good on returning the product and getting a replacement. Mine didn't have any air in them. So I suggest that if you want and get replacements, use a vacuum sealer like I did to give it added protection while being stored. I have them in me and my wifes bug out bags, and their still sealed even being tossed about while traveling in our vehicles wherever we go... Hope this helps.

Mine also doesn't seal airtight after the first time. You can seal it off with duct tape or something similar if you want to mess with that, or you can just use it as a primary fermenter and move your wort/must as soon as it slows down in fermenting. As long as it is kicking out CO2, you don't have to worry about oxidization.

There should be ventilation holes in the lid, but I've certainly never noticed any pinhole in mine. If it doesn't leak when filled with water, it may not be an issue. However, I would consider exchanging it.

You are correct the "fresh vent" does not seal completely. I would not recommend for liquids, sandwiches maybe. They are incredible for keeping veggies fresh!

no I haven't experienced those issues. Perhaps the poor seal is to blame, I would return and try another shipment.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

No! I believe it is likely to build up too much pressure if sealed. I do think the gasket keeps food moist but the side clips are in the way.
