The top cover does leak when connected to something "with" a fan assisted chip/dust ejection system like a Dewalt dual head planer. It "does not" leak on items items "without" a fan assisted chip/dust ejection.

I have two of them. No leaks that I can detect. There is a negative pressure inside the barrel when the vacuum is running so even if there was a gap at the seam dust would be kept inside.

I also have a small shop. I have been using this unit as dust collection with no problems with leakage.

No, I have not had a problem with leaks. I have used my for about 9 months and am very satisfied with it's performance

If you are talking about the seams between the lid and canister mine also leaks. I believe because the shop vac I am using is only 5.5 HP. I believe a 10 HP vac would alleviate the problem.

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

I have not had an issue with leaking yet. Have been using one for about a two weeks so sorry will know more in a month or so.

I have had no issues w/ leaking yet. I did use pipe tape to help the fitting to better seal. So, I have not even bothered getting a fitting as mine has been fine

Mine are doing well after about a dozen uses. My only issue is getting gunk out of where it seals.

I have had mine in use for at least a year and the only leaks have been user error. I find that I have not double checked the ziplock type seal and it is slightly misaligned leading to leaks. I have even frozen them and not had a problem.

I have not had any problems with leaking and I use mine in a commercial setting

Not when properly used. If leaking a quick look showed I had messed up installing them and once fixed no more leaks.

According to my daughter, they do! In my experience after time and the dishwasher, they start having some leaking issues. But she says they are great so far!!!

I never had an issue with them leaking and I used them everyday for six months. The only problem would be if they are overly full then frozen, the top won't stay on then. Just don't fill to the very top.

I haven't used gaskets with them (it never occurred to me) and I find they tend to leak. Maybe using gaskets would fix that.

Haven't been using them that long with my 20 month old but I've never had leakage issues. They are one of my favorite. Prewash wash hot, 2x rinse and dry on low. They dry super fast.

They do form small leaks over time but are easily fixed with glue. That being said the other ones form leaks and cracks as well in about the same amount of time but are not as easy to fix. I prefer these any day of the week due to ease of use and comfort! Way better in my opinion if your going to be in them for hours at a time.

There should be no leaks. Be sure you have sealed the fittings with a good Teflon pipe joint sealer. If you still hear a leak, you may have a defective regulator.

They perform great. I don't have a problem with them leaking. I use them on my kitchen 13 gallon trash can.

I have not had that problem. Used all of them at least once and refilled a couple. The rollers go in very tight and do not leak. Have given a few away and they have not had problem either. Sorry for your experience.

the lids I have fit firmly in place and I'm not afraid that they would leak with fluids. I use one of mine for cucumbers with vinegar. have had it almost a year now with no problems. if they do leak you should be able to get them replaced, free of charge.
