Does the lid stay up when popped open or do you have to hold it up in order for it to stay open?

Hi Julie, yes the lid is spring loaded thus stays open without someone having to hold it up.

i haven't had a problem with it not staying open. i have it in my laundry room and the lid stays open all the time.

Hi Julie, I just bought two of these and both pop open and stay open via a spring. They work great, but it is all plastic (except for the metal spring). I thought these were metal, but not a big deal because they look great anyway.

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

The lid has two positions - open or closed. It remains open when moved to that position without falling down. Very easy to use.

I agree with "fish man". It will hold the lid open, but you have to push down to close it.

It does but I suspect that this is because it's still quite new and the lid is still stiff. Once I really break it in I think it will be able to stay open on its own. Overall it's a lovely piece and quite useful. I highly recommend it.

Yes, if the lid is completely opened, it will stay open until it is pushed down.

Push it down and you have to hold it down. Pull it all the way up and it clicks into stay open.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

Mine actually holds surprisingly well. I can hold it face down and shake it and it won't open. I have dropped it and it's popped open, but during regular, daily use, I'm very pleased.

Yes, it stays open. You have to use the string ties to keep it closed and from popping back open.

it stays on. Their is no problem with the top falling off. It is just for your convinience to have it against a wall if you want the opening lid to lay against the wall when you leave it open.

Yes, it stays closed till you open it. I've never had it "accidentally" open.

I have never had a problem with the lid staying back while drinking. The lid is pretty sturdy and once you pop it up, it stays up.

The lid is spring loaded and stays open till you manually shut it. Just to be sure I got up and tried to pour with the lid open and I had no problem. Just curious why you would want to do this because the steam could and it did not but could get in your face. I hope I was of some help. I personally have had this for at least a year and I am happy with it. Reg.

The cap snaps closed secure not to drip when tilted. It remains attached when lifted up. No loose parts. The lid is like a little lever that lifts the lid up and can stay there on its own. Or snap shut. I like it more than cork bottles or those flipping lids. These do not drip and leak all over. I cook a lot and fell in love when I bought these. They were supposed to be a temporary fix and I ended up keeping the set and ordering more for gifts. My mother now uses it and loves it as well.

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

Yes the lid will stay open when changing the bag. There is a little red switch that holds the lid open.
