How is it to use if you do not mount it. Does it tip over easily? Will is stand up when it is empty and the lid is open?

It doesn't tip over too easily, though it could when it's not mounted. Yes it stands up when it is empty and the lid is open. I don't have it mounted and it works well. You just have to note that it can tip over that way and take a little extra care.

It does tip over easy if it is empty with the lid open, but, it doesn't hinder performance. We keep ours on the counter by the sink.

Mine is stored on the counter top. It seals well, does not tip over with the lid open or closed. The weight from the compost keeps the container upright.

Mounting keeps it out of sight and gives you support and resistance against the door so you can lock the top with one hand. It is a slender box and could tip on the counter.

You can stand it up, but you would probably want something sturdy behind it. The lid makes it slightly top heavy. Yes, mine does stand up with the lid open, when empty. As with anything, it could tip over if something is dropped in when unsupported. If you wanted to keep it on a counter top, you could do that and carry your scraps, etc. directly to the compost pile. I hope this helps.

Yes, it will tip if not mounted and not stand up with the lid open. Mine isn't mounted, but is stored leaning on a wall.

The lid flips back level to the base of the lid. It's a tiny obstruction and doesn't cause a problem for me.

The lid stays propped open at about a 55% angle. If it gets knocked from behind it will snap shut. It does not lay open flat and I think that is a good thing personally because it gives you a modem of "privacy".

The lid snaps on securely but when tested with water, it does run out of the handle area. This isn't a problem since I only use this dish to transport cooked casseroles and the dish sits snugly in the carrying case. You would need a lot if liquid in your dish and tip it quite a bit to loose any liquid contents.

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...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.

It doesn't fall over easily, wobbles but tends to stay upright. And if lid tight it doesn't leak at all when tipped or upside down.

No, it does not tip over. There is a post in the middle of the pot to keep the hose in the center of the pot which keeps the pot from becoming off balance.

I haven't had a problem with it tipping. I would recommend a sturdy stand or table, with everything I have in mine is rather heavy. I have my terrarium put into a wall cubby that just happened to fit it.

I see nothing about it that would resist spills and it's easy to tip over. However, you're normally going to want the top screwed on to keep the contents hot or cold, with the top on you can turn it any direction without a problem. I've thrown mine in a backpack many times.

It does not tip over easily because it is thin and anchored in the ground. I used the dripper till it overfilled my bird bath and it overflowed. I realized you can keep this running or you will pay a big water bill.

I use the suction mount that it came with, I bought a heavy glass ashtray & silicone glued the suction flat to it. makes it more stable & does not tip over. Sits on the dashboard so both of us can see it.

The unit is small and light, about 3 pounds, so as long as your portable grill has a solid base I wouldn't imagine it would tip, even fully loaded. I don't know which grill you have, but you could probably counterbalance it with your propane tank, but I doubt it is necessary.

It has never tipped over even when birds perch on it or squirrels knocked into it. You do not have to use the dripper.

Not sturdy enough to keep the lid on if you just lean it past vertical and let the lid fall back. Believe me, you'll have to treat this thing like a piece of thin crystal if you don't want it to separate into four pieces right in front of your eyes. Nothing is a one hand operation with it.

The lid is screwed on, not snapped on. My wife and I use it for salad dressings in our lunch bags. It doesn't leak when tipped over in a lunch bag. (even vinaigrette or Italian dressings)

This vacuum will most definitely tip over. It's fine in the upright position, but if you use the hose, it will fall over. You have to curl the hose around it and pull from the front to avoid tip over.
