Do lids hold tight? Or do liquids within spill out on shaking?

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!

All of the lids I have fit very tightly. On the large round ones, I have to pry them off with a knife handle. They don't leak or spill at all.

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

I have used these in my lunchbox and have not had any leakage. I am using these as replacements for the black lidded rubbermaid containers that are no longer available. I like these and will order again.

They hold tight. I'm not putting in the dishwasher though because I don't want them to change their shape. I also bought a set of Anchor Hocking and the lids on the Pyrex are so much better fitting.

They hold very tight. Husband takes to work all of the time and they have never leaked. I see someone else said rectangular ones can leak. We have mainly round ones and the rect are new for us.

Tight fitting so far had no problem with them, i did not test them however but for everyday use they are just fine,

Yes, the lids seal up nicely. I just tried it out to confirm and water doesn't drip out while holding it sideways or upside down. The lids seal it up tight and no spills.

The round ones have a tight lid and so they don't leak, but the rectangular ones don't close that tight and so they leak. On the first set I got, the small rectangular lid was way to loose and they sent me a new set. The lid on that one fitted a bit better but it is still not hermetic and leak. I had to go and test them after your question so now both you and me know! :)

I have five of these containers and have found that a couple will leak when on their side. It doesn't matter how much I tighten the lid, they will leak. It's not a serious problem for me as I can leave them upright.

Absolutely NOT. It doesn't make any difference what position you hold the bottle, if you shake it the liquid goes everywhere because the lid is terrible and doesn't fit tightly.

The lids are actually almost a too snug, so it's doubtful the contents would spill during transit. But they may vary from one set to the next, so you would probably want to use a bit of scotch tape just to be sure.

It is hard to tell when the lid is on right. I would cover it with a towel before shaking.

Yes and no. I emptied out one of mine just now (the smallest one), filled it with water, and shook it fairly vigorously. In that case, it leaked somewhat. However, unless you really make an effort to cause leakage, spillage, I believe they would be fine. Sorry it took so long to respond! (Just saw the previous response; I believe I agree, in essence, though I think if you had one in a box or other container, AND didn't go through an earthquake (or similar), it would likely be "okay." Tupperware? might be better, or something similar.

I really have no problems spilling. I do hold the end of the lid with my thumb just in case it decides to come off. Hope this helps you out.

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!

Happy help. The lid is a very tight snap-on and the twist movement smooth. If the container falls I think you would be OK unless the "flap" pops open. But even so, not too many should spill out. This is a winner for $7. I would actually paid much more for this product.

I don't think so,but then I didn't try to take them out. These containers seal tighter and better than anything else I've ever used. The lock-down lids R great! You can drop them on a tile floor without a spill. I think that you could scrub the sealing edges of the lid with a brush if got gunky. Only thing that I have seen stain it was my husband "over-nuked" spaghetti sauce in one and there's a slight orange color to the carton side.

It doesn't rattle. But I've found water will collect there after condensing on the lid. If you're using a crockpot liner, then this can allow for some seepage under the seal. Occasionally, using a liner and simmering bone broth for more than a day, I will find a puddle of water dripping from the liner in the morning. I usually turn my liners up, back over the lid, to avoid this.

No, these cups are designed to prevent spills when the cup is knocked on its side. There is a large whole in the middle of the cup ment for dipping brushes into. Shaking these cups will result in paint on the inside lid and will make a mess once you open it.

I tested two of them to see if they are water-tight. You have to have the lid perfectly in place, otherwise they leak. I would not recommend them for transporting liquids (such as in a bag). Hwvr, they would make fine canisters for around your work space.

Shaking it doesn't leak but I imagine that the inside of the cap could be hard to clean if using a drink mix.

When I make my drinks I use it just for the shaking aspect but it does not leak at all when shaking and seems like it would stay leak proof. I hope that helps

If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem. However, if there is something else in your bag that might "uncatch" the lid, or it gets loose through the years, it will obviously spill. It's not going to just open by the shear force of the water itself - something would really have to snag it. All that being said, I did have my old one come open and everything in my bag got wet - but it might have been my fault in not snapping the lid shut tightly. Hope that is helpful. I really like this bottle and think it might be worth the try. If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem.

Yes! I have knocked it over and never a dropped spilled. Inside the lid there is a thin waxy like substance that when you put hot liquid in activates sealing it. If you tilt it while it is full I recommend waiting a moment to open it though as with the metal mesh strainer inside it takes a moment to drop back down into the cup.
