does this pitcher have a lid and is it heavy or easy to manage????

I bought this pitcher mainly for my husband so we could cut out a lot of sugary sodas. We both really like it. The lid doesn't fit too tight in fact I would suggest you hold maybe one finger lightly on the top as you pour. The reason for this we found is that the weight of the fruit in your infuser may sometimes make the lid tilt slightly. Other than this, the pitcher size is really nice and very easy to fill and serve with. Instructions say to wash by hand and I would agree because the heat of the dishwasher will eventually ruin it. We really like it and would recommend it to anyone looking for one. I hope this helps.

Yes it has a lid. It is not heavy and is easy to manage. Well thought-out construction.

No, the lid doesn't stay on. When tipping it past the midpoint, you have to hold the lid in place or the lid (and sometimes the filter insert as well) will come sliding away from the pitcher. Terrible design.

I've used this for years for iced tea. I've probably run several thousands of cycles of hot tea -> fridge to cool, then apply lid. The lid fastens tight and does not leak, but I can't comment on it being air tight. Also, the weight of cooking oil would make handling a pitcher of this size unwieldy. I would probably suggest going with something glass with a screw-on lid.

It does not have a lid, the opening is approx. 5-ish inches wide. You can use other standard pitchers with this maker, that is one of the things I love about it.

I haven't had any problems with the lid so far. I agree that putting a finger on it while pouring can't hurt. My main issue is that the spout is larger than the spout on my previous, larger Brita pitcher, so water pours out faster and I have to be careful not to over-pour. It's a matter of getting used to the pitcher, in my opinion.

There is no lid and based on the shape of the opening - I doubt you will find one. I store mine in tupperware pitcher after making tea.

it has a slide type opening & closing mechanism; really the only thing I did not like about it is the height of the cup it is a little off balance when full, top heavy is the correct term I believe. I know that wasn't your question but I just wanted to give you that information before you purchase the item. otherwise the cup is perfect.

First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon. I had a problem with this when I ordered it. I ended up getting two of these because I can put in the door of my refrigerator. A gallon wouldn't have fit anywhere in my frig. It has a mesh insert which screws into the lid, which is where you put the tea. I use the Twinings English Classic cold brew tea bags. You could also use loose leaf tea. it works very well, the only issue I have is cleaning it. You have to take the clear rubber rings(gaskets) out of the lid and the part that screws onto the pitcher itself. They tend to get moldy very easily. I use three bags, cold water, and let it sit for about an hour. It makes really good tea.

I believe the weight would be too much when the pitcher is filled. The filter lid is weighty so for me it would be difficult to manage with the heavier glass. We are very pleased with our pitcher and would definitely purchase it again.

The entire lid is opaque, hard plastic with a thick (approx 1/4") white rubber o-ring around the inside rim of the lid. If sealed properly you can shake the contents of the pitcher (for example orange juice) and it does not leak at all. I really like this jug and would buy it again.

No lid. It's a non-spill for the most part unless it's really shaken upside down, and even then, it's only a drop or two.

Hi there I don't know about steel gauge, however it's light enough to pick up when full easily for an adult but would need two hands for a child. The pitcher itself is pretty solid but not at all heavy when empty.

It is portable. However, when it is filled with water it is rather heavy. I usually use a pitcher to fill the top of the santevia with water instead of having to have it next to the sink.

Pretty much like every other plastic pitcher. The handle is incorporated into the collar that screws onto the top of the pitcher. It's pretty stable. My one complaint us that the pitcher is tall and hard to fit on my refrigerator shelf. I suggested that the manufacturer might want to shorten the pitcher. Their response: lay the pitcher on its side. There's a space saving idea. Lol

No it is not. At first I was disappointed about this but the first time I dropped it, which was pretty soon after I bought it, I was glad that it is not glass. Also, the pitcher is a little bit heavy so having more glass would make this even worse.

No- it doesn't leak! It's really a great pitcher. I wasn't sure about it but bought about a month ago and really like it.

It is not extremely heavy or too light. However, it is heavy enough to fill with water and not be blown over if you sit it outside to make sun tea.
