What is the difference between this $30 lid and the 1 made by Top BPA Free for 1/3 the price? Both are BPA free.

This cover showed some cracks in 4 months with a moderate use and became unusable in 6 months. I do not see any difference in durability between this cover and any of others I had before.

Harder plastic, hopefully lasts longer. also does not stain easily from tomatoes being heated.

I don't know which one you are considering for half the price. I have the $30.00 one with a lifetime guarantee and it is wonderful. No spots and no melting. Several before this just melted with certain foods hitting them. For a lifetime, I think $30.00 is a good deal. GoodLuck.

All I can say is ours is better quality .,it is made in the uk and we air ship them to amazon. This adds to the final cost. We also offer lifetime warranty. Thanks for,your interest in San Sero

You actually get 2 tops with this order. The clear top seems to be the same but it has some additional plastic under that is unexplained. I never tried to use it because it looks weird. The grey one is just like the one I had previously so I use that one. The gasket is on the water container so it works perfectly right out the box.

Hi - The top is definitely plastic, but I'm not sure if it's bpa free. The top doesn't stay on very well, so if you want to purchase a glass bottle for traveling - i wouldn't purchase this bottle. I kept this bottle and then bought a Takeya, which has a screw on top. You may want to look into that bottle or something with a screw on top.

I called the company today and they said the old ones were NOT BPA free but the new ones are. I gave them my product number, that I bought today at Kohl's and mine was BPA free. Mine is a 5711.

Mine came with a plastic ring that snaps onto the top. I put a piece of gauze under it before I snapped it on and had a breathable "lid." I don't know of a solid lid for it. Also, I don't know if the ring is BPA-free.

Hi Michael,Don't know if it is BPA free. The water doesn't touch the plastic lid, unless you over fill it, I suppose. The max fill lines are very clear. You don't have to open the lid to pour, it is an option. I haven't had any issues with mine, we love it! Its the best one I've ever owned. Hope this helps.Alison

I looked at ours and it does not say "bpa free" anywhere on the bottle or the lid, so apparently its not.

No problems here. The lid, if shut fully, does not leak on the one I bought.

I am not sure if the lids are BPA free. I bought them as a gift for someone. I never opened the box.

Sorry I no longer have the box...I don't know what the products are made of. I do know they are BPA Free. Also, I'm not familiar with the black ones. I couldn't say if the lid sizes are the same. However, when a new set is released, the make up of the sets is often changed. One set might include 3 of a particular size, 4 of another etc. The quantity in the new set of a particular size often differs. As far as the actual size, Im not sure if that changes from set to set.

The top/lid is made from the same material (stainless steel) as the bottle. I don't know if it is labeled as dishwasher proof, but I've washed mine in the dishwasher many times with no ill effects.

No difference, it's usually just because they are offered from different sellers, that the description can vary. Same product with brown lid. Be wary, though. I bought this "microwave safe" tumbler and used it and after only a week it built up a nasty film on it. I talked to Tervis the company and they were NOT interested in guaranteeing their product. They said it was my water. I know it's not the water, because the three other Tervis cups I own have no film. Now, months later, the cup is disgusting and brown stained. My husband uses it only in the yard. Be wary. The stain never came off this cup. No one would refund me, either. Very bad.

Not sure if it BPA free or not, cause have bought mine a few years ago, so don't have a package.The lid is plastic inside. It can contact the water if you pour too too much and it is boiling and touching the lid.If you add regular amount of water, it doesn't happen.Yes, you need to open the lid to pour water.

They are the same compared to each other for tightness. Both type of lids are put on by the notch and rotate method. The replacements have the sliding day dates on top of the lid. They are #7 recyclable plastic so make sure you do not put the covers on during the culturing hours. As for leaking make sure they are rotated as far as they can go. My yogurt as no extra liquid when I mix in 1/2c of organic dry nonfat non instant milk to 2 quarts of milk after adding the culture and before culturing timing. Best wishes!

Don't know why one is priced higher than another. Nalgene's web site does not make any distinction among colors wrt BPA status. As a plastic chemist, I doubt color would have any effect on BPA status.
