Comments on the larger versions mention the lids aren't airtight, don't fit well, or are flimsy &amp; don't stand up to dishwasher. What about this one?

I hand washed mine as I didn't want to damage the seal on it with the heat in the dishwasher. The seal on mine is airtight and I have not had any problems with it not fitting well either. It's sturdy and I am very happy with mine. I have sugar in mine and it does not dry out or anything.

I have had the same issue with these and find that I can basically only put things that don't "spill" in there. You have to gently close them and the lids tend to stay on, but they are NOT leakproof. Any runny thing like salad dressing spills.

I have bought several and they are pretty inconsistent with the way the lids fit. One of mine is so tight my kids can't open it, the other is super loose, and the third close to just right. I would not chance it in two of mine, the third one might handle for soup....luck of the draw you might get one with an ideal fit.

I have never had a single problem with the lids. If anything, they are sometimes a bit too tight. Ie, a bit hard to put on at first until you practice a bit. I store hummus and salad dressing in the little ones, and have never had any leaks. I use a shopping bag, so they certainly aren't lying flat at ANY point. So thumbs up in my opinion!

can you clarify your problem? it can be a little hard to pull the lid up and off, after you've rotated the handle to the near-vertical position, but it's just suction and will eventually go away, also lift the pour spout. it's a tight fit, lid to mixing container, that is. usually i don't need dishwasher if i clean it right away it just all washes off with water, soap, spray.

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.

The lids on the Pyrex are air tight which is what you want for food storage. The larger ones are easier to get off, however, I have rh.arthitis so at times it is a little difficult. The small Pyrex such as the one cup, is very difficult and takes me a few tries to get it off. As you use them, the lids become a bit more flexable, be sure NOT to put the lids in the dishwasher, I wash them by hand.

I'm looking into this set because my mom owns two. She just informed me that she has only ever had an issue with a plastic lid not snapping on one side anymore. She called Pyrex and they alway replace it (the entire unit-lid and glass bottom).

I have bought 4 of these. The ones that I have trouble with the lids staying on have been through the dishwasher often - which is not recommended.

I never use the lids. I have three just sitting in my cabinet. Let me know if you want me to send you one of mine. Otherwise, I would get in touch with the manufacturer. Thanks, Elizabeth

I'm constantly overfilling mine and I haven't had that problem either except the one time I forgot the lid and yep that sure was a mess! If the contents are especially solid such as carrots, I do hold the lid until it gets going just in case. I personally don't feel that other blender is worth the extra money. I love the blendtec!

I also have several of these containers ... all different sizes and I use them for dog treats. So they are opened at least once daily and I've had noproblem with the lids. I did have a problem with one of the lids not "seating" right after using it for awhile. The lid was fine but the containeritself had a small crack in it probably from me forcing the lid. I would recommend these ..

The lids are a thicker and harder plastic as compared to the container which is more rubbery. Also, I think I saw someone post that the contents don't come out easily... if you put in a shallow cup or bowl of warm water, or run under warm water, the contents come out with ease and perfectly clean.

Mine has a super tight seal, it's very nice I've been using it since I bought it, several months ago for powder detergent and I've had No moisture problems!!! The lid is certainly in No way flimsy and the fit Is perfect... I haven't done dishwasher and probably won't as I like to wash this sort of thing by hand!

So far I have had no problems with mine. As far as anons answer I just got some of that stuff you use for lining shelves so that your dishes don't slide around (don't know what it's called) holds it in place no problems. I like it. Mine cooks fast.

I think they must all be like that because mine is too. Its like its a little crooked or something. I still use it all the time and it makes great bread so I never returned it. I've had it a couple years now. The lid doesn't seem to effect the cooking, its more or less just one of those annoying things you get use to.

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??
