Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Sadly, it's NOT airtight and NOT watertight. The description claimed, "Excellently airtight and watertight with patented 4-hinge locking system with silicone sealing ring"... Was I supposed to take your word for it? Silly me, I tested it: I filled it partially with water, snapped all clips closed, turned the bin upside down and... it FAILED miserably. A stream of water escaped from the quick open flap, even with my hand helping to apply pressure to the closed flap. (See pics) The flap seal is different from the full outer seal. The full outer seal is secure and does seem to work but you can't escape the inadequate flap design. Looking closely, the flap is definitely not airtight. There is only one clip opposite the hinge securing that flap. It was easy to see the 2 gaping sides that had no clips. I liked the design of the bin but I already own non-airtight bins that I was trying to replace. Shame on you Amazon for lying to me. P.S. I don't know why my review isn't showing up as an Amazon Verified Purchase. It was sold by and shipped by Amazon.com LLC at a price that was available to everybody that day (no discounts or promos and not available only to prime members). Shame on you Amazon for trying to bury my honest review.
