i can tell you this we put fresh baked goods into this and they stay fresh until we threw them away i have no idea what the other 2 reviews are thinking when they say it is not air tight. you put the lid on and they snap into place making them air tight will it block the air from a tornado probably not but to preserve freshness yes there awesome.and we have carried multiple baked goods in this it has never just pop open it is a good product that holds baked goods and transports your baked goods you will be happy you bought it

No, it is not airtight. It does not offer the same airtight gasket system as the rest of the Snapware kitchen storage products. When you lift the handle and carry it, the "seal" will open on different parts on the lid. However, it does have more height for cupcakes than any other system.

I also thought it was airtight and had the mini cupcakes in it left over from a dinner until we threw the last of them away. The only thing that I do not like, is if you only need to take one layer and have extra cupcakes for your own personal home use, you either have to cover them with foil temporarily or know someone else (in my case, my daughter) who has the same container, isn't using it at the same time, and can borrow her lid. It should have come with a spare lid for that reason. That is the only thing I don't like about it. For what it's worth, we both have the three-tier one which came with a separate egg layer for deviled eggs. Very nice, but still needs an additional lid.

I would say this container is not an air tight suction type seal. In fact, that is the thing i like least about this container. The sealing mechanism is weak and i am always worried it will open, especially when carried.

It is not airtight. On a hot summer day, the poop "cooks" inside the can. We have ours mounted in open air area. The only time we smell it is when we open the can when it has been very hot outside. Now that the fall is here, we don't notice any problem with odors.

This is like any other plastic container. As far as an airtight seal I would say no. But once the lid is on it seems to fit fine. I would say it should keep ants out as long as it's on correctly.

It has a rubber gasket, so it is intended to be airtight. Would I trust it to be as airtight as a steel can? Maybe not, but it seals up well.

Yes, it is pretty air tight. I line it with a plastic bag and empty it once a week and the smell is contained. I keep it outside on a fence as seen in the picture.

I would say this container is airtight enough for rice storage and I am quite happy with this item so far so good.

Being a chemical engineer this container would not pass a leak test; but it has a rubber gasket that makes the top a bit difficult to remove with one hand when grabbing flour - so I think for storage purposes you could call it "air tight".

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

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.

I don't know for sure but I don't think would be airtight. I have never had an ant problem with the product, however, but I only use it periodically. I don't use it every day.

No, there is one (someone else reported two, but I only remember one) intentional hole in the silicone sealing gasket - perhaps about 1mm in diameter. So it is not truly airtight. But because the hole(s) have a very small area, there is very little communication between the jar and outside - it keeps dry rice very well.

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

Absolutely! it's dishwasher safe and totally reusable. After many uses and washes it's still seals airtight. Great containers.

Not truly airtight. The glass top sits on the dispenser. It has a nice lip to hold it in place, but it is just gravity doing the work. But- the lid prevents contamination and would keep the drink from evaporating in the refrigerator. So I would use one in that way, probably a 1 gal or smaller.

Yes, they are airtight. I shake liquids around in them all the time. These lids aren't for canning purposes, though.

Airtight, no - absolutely not. It is not good for storing hazardous chemicals or stinky dead animals.
