1.5 gal rubbermaid container woe

Aug 29, 2020 4 Replies

Ordered a pair of these a couple of weeks back:



shorturl.at/bvB01



Lid fit tightly on the one, but not the other so returned it last week. New one arrived, same problem. Although tighter than the prior container because it fits on three sides, on the remaining long side, the fit isn't tight. I'm very disappointed. Is this the norm for these (lid not airtight) or should I still return it and look elsewhere? Perhaps they have to be full in order for the lid to be tight??


Your link does not work. Something sounds off. I have a bunch or Rubbermaid stuff and the lids all fit well from small to large.

If they happen to have a bad batch of lids the next one may not fit either. I'd try another source.

Try this one:

I used the Walmart links, but these are through Amazon and directly from Rubbermaid!

Seems odd as their stuff has always been good. I'd try either of these:

For what it's worth, we've got a bunch of those and all fit quite tightly...but, all are at least several years old so don't really have much bearing on what current product might be like...but agree they ought to be liquid-tight.
