Does this jar seal well enough to be turned over without liquid spillage/leakage?

Yes! I bought this jar to soak wood carvings in oil overnight. I flip the jar upside for half of the night and I've never lost a drop of oil. It's extremely secure.

Seals pretty well, but turning upside down would be a stretch. This is a great jar/lid, but if you must have a supremely tight seal this may not be the one.

Haven't had that problem. If the liquid level gets low you may have to tilt the jar forward.

Yes. I would still recommend a clear-coat sealer for the bottom though. If you don't the bottom will wear significantly faster than the rest of the mason jar and most people don't typically draw on the bottom anyway.

I have never had a problem with them leaking, although I don't specifically turn jars upside down to check.

Did not leak on me, but I kept it level and did not turn sideways in my lunchbag. Fairly tight seal, but if jossled too much might pop off.

Hi wally, I have no issues with this item ..... It doesnt leak and it works well .. I have had it for over 3 months now and use it daily for breakfast and dinner jucing .... The leaking issue I believe comes when you fill the jar with fluid above the max line.... You can however overfill the jar with dry stuff like fruits and such... Hole that helps

If the seal is too tight I use a bottle cap opener. I will also turn the jar upside down and give the bottom a firm hit a few times. Hope this helps :)

it does not seal as much as I'd like it to, but it does the job. In other words, do not turn it upside when there is food inside comfortably, because it will most probably leak a little. Overall, it's a good products

The seal gets better as steam is put through it day after day. I now just put mine upside down over a paper towel in the sink and THEN tap it! After many of these they all do it and it doesn't signal a defect, just a nice tight seal which means you're doing it right.

No, the jar isn't sealed, there is a safety cover over the open jar that you take off before using the first time.

It does have a light rubber seal around the inside so it's not open at the spout all the time. I'm not sure if it's 100% airtight, but thanks to the lid and seal, I am not worried about spillage or anything like that.

Seems to have a good seal. Although I Have not put it on its side when I get ready to pour it, it pops like a sealed jar when I pus the spout handle

Yes as long as the gasket is in place and you completely screw it tight, it will not leak! I've turned my upside down many times or it has fallen and nothing leaked out.

Yes, it has a very good seal. I haven't had a problem with light to mild shaking -- no spills to report.

The picture shows it sliding sideways....there isn't any seal but the lid sits well over the compartments. It's a good way for me to use it since I keep Kosher salt and ground fresh pepper in mine. I'm very satisfied and happy with mine. I hope my answer helps you decide what to do.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

If the lid isn't on just right, the seal leaks very easily when the cup is tipped. It doesn't leak much upside down though.
