Does the swing lid fit close enough to keep odors in?

Yes, I have not had any odor issues. I guess when it swings open, the smell could escape, but it closes nicely.

from my perspective yes. Haven't had any issues, however, it's not an air tight seal. They have these cans at Bed Bath Beyond. I went to my local Bed Bath Beyond to see it in person before ordering from Amazon. You might be able to get it cheaper with a Bed Bath Beyond coupon. Brick and Motor stores have turned into Window shopping for me. After looking at the product in person, start scouring the internet for best deal.

There is no seal but it does fit pretty close; perhaps 1/8th of an inch all the way around swing lid.

Oh, yes, definitely it is effective for keeping odors in. Only thing I can think of is when we forgot to take the garbage out and had some raw garbage and it was completely full to the top. I could smell it as soon as I walked in the kitchen.

I've it stored in a cabinet, and haven't had an issues with orders. But, I use either arm and hammer baking soda or air freshener as backup. It really depends on what you put into can and how long it sits. SimpleHuman makes odor absorbers, which you can view on their website. Not sure if it fits this model, you'd need to contact SimpleHuman. Net = I've been very happy with this can. Looks good, works good, easy to take lid off, the lid holds trash bags in place.

Tough to answer. It depends on what you're throwing out. My experience, this can works well with things like coffee grounds and eggs; not so well with spoiled foods from cleaning the refrigerator.

Yes the lid is close enough to keep odors out. I love it and wouldn't consider buying another type of trash can. I am very pleased.

Lid seems to just rest in the top, though in the groove. Wind does not seem to blow it off so cover stays on anyway.

The lid on my unit fits perfectly fine and I have never had problems with it. You can disconnect the lid by the rear hinge for easier cleaning and filling.

It will close the edges if there's a space between the door and frame. The seal is good and tight. I use it because I'm a smoker and don't want to spread the smell around. Works great for that.

The can has tightly fitting components, but I should thing that dirty diapers would require odor control however they were stored.

I would think so.I had an empty plastic litter container.I had cleaned it and kept birdseeds in it....that was no match,and that lid was very hard to open,and the plastic was just as thick as this container.This is not airtight,disappointed about that,would not buy another

The lid does not fit "tightly" but, in my opinion, is adequate for keeping bugs out.

I checked mine out and it looks tight around the lid and container. The roach would need to be smaller than a grain of rice. The old retired man

I don't use the lid on mine but I would think that it would contain mild odors fairly well with the lid. If I have something particularly stinky like wrapping from fish I put it in a separate plastic bag and wrap it up or get rid of the trash bag quickly. I do like this item.

Yes. The lid shuts and locks securely, so no worries about furry varmints being able to access the bin. I would definitely recommend it.

The lid fits in place well, and we have yet to see winds move it, so you may be safe. We really like the design.

The lid fits tight but not sure if it will keep out the moths. I have trail mix in mine at our office so moths are not a problem. But I do have aprroblem with moths at home. Get rid of all the cardboard boxes and use theses traps. Pro-Pest Pantry Moth Traps - 6 Ready to Use Pre-baited Traps (3 Packs of 2 Traps)

Yes, there is a little bit of odor, but not too bad and only near where you have placed it. I put it in the perimeter of the back yard, and it seemed to work pretty good to discourage the ground hog from hanging out at my house.

Yes it does. The upper part is hinged to the lower half. To dispose a diaper, step on the peddle and the lid opens.inside is set of jaws that close over the disposed diaper when the peddle is released, thus clamping diaper odor inside.

Yes, it's not a great fit, but it functions well. I don't know of a lid that would fit better.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

Ours sits about 12 feet from a bedroom window. I have never smelled it unless I am there opening the lid. If you only place vegetable matter in it the smell is minimal. Nothing is perfect. This was the second one we bought. Our first one wore out after several years use.
