Review on LocknLock Essentials Flip Top Airtight Containers by Dee Scott

Like most Lock and Lock storage containers, the cereal dispenser is of high quality and appears to be reliable. However, it is important to note that it is NOT airtight as Lock and Lock claims. Yes, it has the same silicone seal around the edges of the top and stays securely in place. But the dispensing door above has no seal; it's just plastic on plastic. As you squeeze the container, you will hear air entering and exiting through the dispensing door. Otherwise, I really like the container. It's well made and roomy, but fits nicely in a typical kitchen cabinet. The dispenser door features a latch that locks in place and won't fall off when you pour out the cereal. I only wish there was an airtight seal around the door because I bought one to keep the ants out of my porridge. I haven't had any problems with bugs, but Lock and Lock have to be honest about their product.
