Does this seal tightly and keep out freezer odors? I see conflicting reviews...

The problem is not the odors, the problem is getting the food out of the cells. The Mastrad trays are much better as they have silicon on the bottom to enable you to push the food out of each cell. I highly recommend those. Note, I usually love any OXO product, but not his tray.

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

If you fill each cube to the top then it is not a tight seal...if you fill it 3/4 the way like it says then yes the seal is tight

It does not seal tightly after freezing I usually put the cubes into breastfeeding milk bags. They do seal but not like a lid would on Tupperware, the top just slides on.

I made some batches of baby food back in May and I'm still using it and it's completely fine. I haven't noticed ANY odors of any kind and the food looks as fresh as when I first made it when it's thawed. I think some of the odors others are referring to may be from the types of food they keep in their freezer, like seafood for example. We aren't big meat/seafood eaters so we don't have smellier foods in our freezer.

I have not used the lid in the freezer, but have ran it through the dishwasher several times and it still seals fine.

It has a rubber seal but the cover is easily removed by one hand, which is good because I usually have the other hand full of what I want to put inside. The top also has an odor absorbing filter so smells have never been an issue.

No, it is quite a tight seal as long as it is closed all the way. This may vary bottle to bottle but for the most part it works great.

Yes, it is pretty air tight. I line it with a plastic bag and empty it once a week and the smell is contained. I keep it outside on a fence as seen in the picture.

I've had no problem with the seals holding or with freezer burn. I'm very happy with my Waring Pro vacuum sealer!

Before using zip lock, try asking your butcher if they offer vacuum sealing. I just found out that mine does, so I guess you just have to ask.

The design allows the lid to shut tightly every time which diminishes odors. However when opened, it will allow any odors to escape.

It doesn't seal but it does fit tight. I use it to store cinnamon and sugar and it works great for that.

Although I've never tested its use in a refrigerator I would think it would improve the seal as the air cools down it would contract and create more of a vacuum within the container. However, I would not place it in a freezer compartment as the seals may freeze and possible crack when you try to open the container.

It make a pretty secure seal, but I am not sure about the smells it would let through.

Hmm. I think I know what you're asking. When I lived with my ex husband our ice cubes would taste odd depending on what was in the freezer at any given time. I don't have this here at my new place, regardless of if I'm using the trays, this, or my icemaker. But I assume because the ice is formed in an enclosed, sealed state it would greatly cut down on intrusive odors.

It has a rubber gasket, so it is intended to be airtight. Would I trust it to be as airtight as a steel can? Maybe not, but it seals up well.

Mine has not and we put it in the freezer all the time. After a few months of this type of use, the wrap still works perfectly and smells clean and fresh. I hope this helps.

This container does not make an air tight seal, it has a filter that absorbs CO2 and allows the coffee to breath. My coffee stays fresh to the end and always smells great, better that it did in my old air tight container.

My Ziploc sealer is in the blink and I just borrowed a friend's FoodSaver sealer. Tested the Ziplock sealer bags on hand and they sealed perfectly because they are also textured. Same for a generic roll I bought for larger bags.

Yes, I have mine stored in a plastic container that has a tight seal and I made sure that the container did not have any aromas still associated with it before I added the product.
