How many rotations does the lid require to seal it? Does it thread easily?

It doesn't thread easily and I wouldn't buy it again. The wider mouthed ones work better.

The lid on this twists off like a jar. When it is difficult to open, close the stopper and use the edge of that as a surface to push against when spinning the lid off. Usually using the handle as resistance will allow the lid to spin open. Try not to close the lid too tightly. The rubber O ring in the lid works great for a seal and it won't leak!

..mine worked like a charm, yes...it screws like a crank, you just have to tighten by feel...if you think you have enough for one more turn and the neck to end up vertical then go ahead...I knew on my last turn that it was pretty tight and that I might had enough for a one more turn but I wasn't 100% so I stopped...plumbers tape is a must obviously and so far no leaks or problems....there is no need to over-tighten....

The lid screws on and off, but it is a little difficult to line up and get closed securely to avoid leaks on your shirt front.

yes, the lid screws off and on. it forms a very tight seal vacuum-like seal.

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

Just presses on, no screw on. But I have about 4 of these and even after them falling apart due to dishwashing (which you are not supposed to do) I haven't had a problem with leaking due to a loose lid.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

It screws on. When I turn a full bottle sideways (which I've done only a dozen times or so), no water leaks out.

It has to snap in place otherwise it will spew out. You need it to make the seal.

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 !

Yes, you have to be sure and get the sealon, then screw the lid on tight. It works well for me.

Easily, but I recommend taping the lid all the way around. It is not air tight

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

The latch requires a very light effort to open, Lifting the lid requires a bit more, because you're working against the sealing gasket. I think it should be easy enough to open. The whole unit rolls easily on its two wheels even when fully loaded. This is a good design and it works very well.

I receiced a set of 4. They worked very well for me. But lid didn't tighten completely, so I used teflon tape to tighten and make a tight seal.

No, not a tight seal. I've not turned it upside down, but if I were to fill it with water and turned it upside down there would be a slight trickle.
