Comments on the larger versions mention the lids aren't airtight, don't fit well, or are flimsy & don't stand up to dishwasher. What about this one?

Mine has a super tight seal, it's very nice I've been using it since I bought it, several months ago for powder detergent and I've had No moisture problems!!! The lid is certainly in No way flimsy and the fit Is perfect... I haven't done dishwasher and probably won't as I like to wash this sort of thing by hand!

I don't have any problem with the lid fitting correctly...it fits well, not absolutely air-tight, but good for cookies, etc. Haven't ever washed it in the dishwasher, so can't speak to that issue...but I don't think that I would do that.

I am using them for decoration but could see the utility for food. Just don't put anything in them for too long. Dog biscuits, maybe something like that. But yes, they are not perfectly air tight. Also if one does decide to put in the dishwasher remove the removable seal and wash that by hand. The lids might benefit from hand washing too. I originally saw these in a coffee shop on the display counter. They had non perishables in them. But if you are not storing anything that absolutely needs freshness or for too long, the jars do the trick. For displaying curiosities and terrariums they are perfect!

Well, all I can tell you is that the cereal I keep in mine has stayed fresh, and why would you want to put the lid in the dishwasher? I don't know what you intend to use yours for, but I keep cereal in mine. I've had a terrible problem with Indian meal moths, and this has kept them OUT! That's good enough for me! The fact that the cereal stays crisp in Louisiana is evidence enough that it's as airtight as it needs to be for my purposes ... I'm not running a lab here! I've had neither the perceived need nor the desire to stick the lid in the dishwasher. I'm pretty much thrilled with my Anchor Hocking Montana jars ... I have 4 of them and plan to get more.Hope that helps. Well, all I can tell you is that the cereal I keep in mine has stayed fresh, and why would you want to put the lid in the dishwasher?

My Anchor Hocking 1.5 gallon jar has tight, well fitting lids. The lids are metal with a plastic "lip" around the inside and not in the least flimsy. I do not put my lids in the dishwasher.

I don't know for sure if they are air tight, but I know the lid fits very tightly and I really have to pull hard to get it open. The lid is definitely not flimsy, in fact it is stronger than the ones on my smaller versions. I have never put mine in the dishwasher, I always just wash mine in good hot soapy water. I would buy this size again. Hope this is helpful.

I hand washed mine as I didn't want to damage the seal on it with the heat in the dishwasher. The seal on mine is airtight and I have not had any problems with it not fitting well either. It's sturdy and I am very happy with mine. I have sugar in mine and it does not dry out or anything.

I returned mine as soon as I received it. It was very poorly made and the lid didn't seal. It was not at all what I expected. I found it cheaper elsewhere but assume it was the same manufacturer. I'd look for a different mug altogether if I were you.

The regular lids don't fit but I think they make a bigger size. Check out http://www.tervis.com/

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

Sorry, I have both although this one looks round to me. It really does not matter to me since the lids and rubber rings are interchangeable and I love glass for food storage.

I haven't had that problem yet, but ours has already cracked at the top so we decided to quit using it. Half the time it was difficult to open certain jars especially plastic lids. I feel its not worth the money and I advise you to return it for a refund if you can.

Actually we don't use them any more at all. I bought them for All-Clad, but they don't fit tightly and are kind of a nuisance. Instead, I bought sugru and made a little silocone cover over each of the lid handles. It adheres, goes right through the dishwasher with no problem, and of course doesn't get hot. I recommend that approach instead. You can buy sugru on Amazon, I bellieve.

I wish I could help you, but... I returned this model immediately. The quality of construction was incredibly poor. Main container very flimsy. You need 2 hands to operate, to keep the top from falling off. I kept my 10+ year old model. Good luck.

Nope, the locking parts are stuck to the lid and sometimes flop down and get in the way a bit. They are supposed to fit in a little slot to stay put, but mine don't. Not a big deal and am used to it now. I think that they have a similar model without the locks though.

I bought one for my Mom, slightly different. They actually opened up a store locally and they said sometimes they get them in broken and will sell the lids then, but there aren't replacements to buy. If it broke during use, I would contact Teavana, they may replace it for you as I've had mine over 2 years now and it gets used every day and I've not had any problems with it.

The containers have measurements impressed in their bottoms. When the lids are sold separately, they have dimensions on the sales labelling. Or send emails to the manufacturers. I find that lids sometimes don't fit. Have you done a Google search?

I have had a little issue with the casserole lids not having a tight fit after being used in the microwave. I have not had any leaks taking them to work, but I don't really challenge the seals either as they are always in a lunch box and not bounced around very much. The cup lids still fit tightly.

Not Snug is actually a little better. there was an issue with the original MagnaLite Professional lids (Yes I own a set) and they would tend to seal themselves with moisture. this (I have read) had caused a couple of lids to "blow off" the pot. Also, the lid was designed that any steam that hit the lid would funnel back down to the inside lip and back into the food. The fact that the lid is not very snug is a good thing IMOHP...

So far I have had no problems with mine. As far as anons answer I just got some of that stuff you use for lining shelves so that your dishes don't slide around (don't know what it's called) holds it in place no problems. I like it. Mine cooks fast.

Hello Tyler,Because it is not the same product I would not recommend using one of those lids for this flask.Thank You,Jarrett

I can't say I recall seeing this specifically mentioned on the box (both sets I rec'd WERE in original packaging, unlike some other reviewers'), but I've frozen in mine without issues. BTW I would definitely avoid dishwasher for plastic lids - the high heat, even in top rack, can eventually distort the shape & fit.
