Oggi 130-Ounce Jumbo Stainless Steel Kitchen Airtight Canister with Clear ArylicLid and Locking Clamp by Oggi

La calidad aparente es buena sin embargo, el sellado es deficiente quizás por el tamaño de la tapa.

So, I have been trying to find a canister set that would replace the 70-year-old 4 can steel set we inherited from another family member. It was rusty and dilapidated 5 years ago and I just could not find one with a flower canister big enough to hold a standard 5 lb bag of flour. I know you can also get it in 10 lb bags but you will have to buy two of these or find it on your own to fit 10 lbs. After finding this one and reading the reviews I was discouraged but took a shot anyway. First off one review said the gasket falls off all the time. I think theirs was not seated properly or the design changed after the purchase. This seal goes under a lip in the lid and stays there. It can be removed if you had to and may be a little difficult to put back but after a few minutes you should have it back on. You can feel the lip/groove in the plastic lid with your fingernail, but it is hard to see. I did math calculations to determine the VOLUME of each of my old cans and then converted the cubic inches to fluid ounces. I have a calculator for this conversion, so it was quick. I then took the dimensions for this can (by the way are 7 3/4 diameter by 6 3/4 high) this measurement is for the SS part of the can (the part that holds the flour). It does not include the lid or the hinges or catch that may be causing the many varied dimensions I have seen in reviews. I converted these to fluid oz so I could compare mine to this new can. This can was 1/2 cup larger. Bingo. I then took the dimensions of the OGGI cans I purchased in a four can set and did the same comparisons to my other three cans. The tall can was large enough to replace my sugar can and will hold 4 lbs of granulated sugar. The next size down was enough to hold 2 lbs of brown sugar still in the plastic bag to reduce oxidation of the SS from direct contact with molasses saturated sugar. And the next size down I use for tea bags or cocoa or baking soda or whatever. The smallest of the four will be put to use in the garage. Purchase of the four can set and the large can on its own was almost exactly the same price as the large can and two of the cans offered in the four can set if purchase separately. OGGI should put together a four can set with the large can and leave the smallest can out. As far as the cans being flimsy, I think they are well made, and the hinges and latch are strong enough to do the job intended. I have a metalworking and industrial purchasing background and feel qualified to this opinion. I also understand SS will corrode if put in the proper environment for such, so try to avoid this. One thing that is not a big deal is if the 4 1/2" cans nested together better in the lid to bottom of the can it would be nicer. Hope this helps.

Es un poco mas chico de lo que esperaba y las medida no coincide con otro de acrilico que compre que es el mismo tamaño y no parece de buena calidad

I bought this for storing cat food because two of our three cats are little monsters and rip open the bags for fun. The canister is big enough to fit almost an entire 7lb bag of food in it and keeps it fresh for our third cat (who is both picky and has her own food). Transparent lid is bad if you're a cat looking to get into mischief, but great if you're their mom watching them try to figure out how to get into it. Quality is so-so, but the barrel is made of metal and the lid latches securely and it's small and sleek enough not to be an eyesore wherever it's intended to go, so it's five stars from me! My only complaint is that I wish it came in a slightly taller size so I could fit all of her food in it at once.

I got this on an impulse, from Warehouse Deals. It was listed as ACCEPTABLE, meaning there was some damage, but it was still usable. It arrived safely, but was damaged in a very odd manner. It wasn't dented, as I was expecting, instead someone had Krazy glued the silicone seal to the lid and made a very bad job of it. I wasn't aware that customer modifications were acceptable for return. :(. It took me several hours to even attempt to clean it up (it was also oiled where the lid closure is strapped to the outside of the canister's body.) :P. Degreasing and washing were sufficient to render the canister base usable, and after carefully working the seal free I was able to very carefully re-flatten the lid's rim, so that the seal could do its job. This was quite the chore! The lid itself is pretty awful looking, but is now usable. Luckily, I intended to use it in my pantry and not out on the counter like my other OGGI Jumbo Canister (the all acrylic version). I will have to re-think ordering anything of this nature marked as "Acceptable" in future. I'm not too keen to put in so much effort to reclaim products without a more substantial discount. It was hardly worth all the work. Amazon should reconsider what they deem as returnable. People who ruin a product and then try to return same should get their accounts written up. >:-(
