reviewers said that the lid does not stay up - has this been resolved?

I noticed this potential problem before buying. After receiving the lamp, I found it's easy to keep the lid open at whatever angle I want -- as long as the handle is lifted up. Hope my experience helps.

With quite a bit of effort, we finally got the tension set by tightening the side of the handle. The instructions make it sound deceptively easy. It is not.

Before you open the light, bring the hanlde all the way up, lift up light to level, push handle all the way down. Light should stay in place at 90 degrees.

You can tighten the side knob with a coin but it gets loose so you have to keep trying to tighten it to stay in place. My friend has one and she does not seem to have the problem that I am having. I suppose it depends on the lamp you get.

I had a similar problem with mine in that the lid didn't quite line up just right. It took some fiddling but once it was in place it stayed put. I bought mine to roast coffee beans and it did a pretty mediocre job of it. My unit did not get hot enough to even reach a medium roast. I ended up selling mine in a garage sale.

No, the lid is not secure at all! It is not snug. I've dropped it many times. Very annoying.

Yes, it will stay open, if you have it up against a wall. We keep the lid up most of the time - it doesn't fall shut on its' own.

Mine doesn't go up all the way either but I think it's designed that way. It has not caused any problems for me as the bottom stays on without being hooked on at that point.

This is the question that I asked Amazon, via the packaging feedback, when I received the leaking container. So many people have complained and yet nothing has been done to resolve the issue. It would seem unbelievable that the lid could unthread during shipment as this is a secure multithreaded lid.

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

Yes, but I solved this by cutting the lid that comes with it into a frame that holds it down. See my review (July 2015).

If you open the lid fully until you feel it click it will stay in that position. Kind of like how a car door has that open point where it won't swing shut.

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

I just bought one of these, and the lid has about 1/2" of play up and down. This is ridiculous. Seems like there should be a 1/2" - 3/4" thick rubber gasket between the base and lid. Haven't tried it. As soon as I pulled it out the box by the hand and the bottom started wobbling I decided to look this up on google and if it was supposed to be like that. It is definitely being returned.

No, mine haven't and I've had them for months. The only thing I have noticed is if knock them off a shelf sometimes the lid will loosen and drip a bit. Either tightening them more in the first place or doing it after knocking them over should resolve that though.

There is a clip at the back of the lid. Press down and lift the lid and it comes odd. Do the reverse to put lid back on.

I have not had trouble. Others have said press real hard on lid, maybe with foot pressure and it should open

That's a bit odd, we have had no trouble latching the lid. Are you sure you are seating the lid properly; if so, then, as inlikely as it may be, perhaps the lid is misshaped or the latch deffective.

Yes. With the bottom flat on the ground, the lid will stay up when opened.I have 3 of these and love them. Bought two several years ago and still as good/work as new.

Mine lined up just fine, so I think there may be an issue with your lid not being on properly. I never had the problem with the lid not lining up when I replaced the bags. I would contact the manufacturer about the issue, or talk to a person where you bought it. Hope I helped. Thanks!
