 Finally, the PERFECT Iced Tea Pitcher! Oct 04, 2008
By Hippie2MARS
"Leslie M."
I'm a fan of Lock & Lock products, so when I was on the search for an iced tea pitcher, I was thrilled to stumble on this. So much so that I even preordered it! I am happy to say that it did not disappoint me. It's just the right height for my top refrigerator shelf but it's shaped so that it would fit on the door (assuming you actually have any room on your door shelves...I know I never do)!
I'm especially enamored with the lid which locks down tight, keeping your beverage free from the encroaching odors and odd flavors from the other items in the fridge. The spout is drip-proof and performs well. The pitcher is dishwasher safe and washes up beautifully. Also the slim and tall design helps disperse the weight of a gallon of liquid so that it's not quite so hard on the wrist. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Fantastic pitcher! Jan 20, 2011
By Tiphy
I purchased one of these as part of a bundle from another company. I wasn't quite sure whether or not I was going to like the pitcher, as I had actually bought the bundle for the bread box that I couldn't seem to find anywhere at the time. Needless to say, I use the pitcher more than I do the breadbox now! I've seen some negative reviews on this item, and I'd like to take a minute to address a couple of them.
As for the little sealing ring around the mouth, it WILL come loose if you wash it in the dishwasher. I know that L&L is supposed to be completely dishwasher and microwave safe, and it is, but the o-ring will become dislodged if washed in the dishwasher. Instead, I will wash the lid by hand, which only takes a few seconds, and then put the actual pitcher into the washer. I actually do this with ALL of my L&L lids because I am paranoid about the heat in the washer weakening the lid clasps. This may or may not be an issue, but I like to err on the side of caution. :O)
I've seen some complaints about the lid not seating properly on top of the pitcher. I used to have an issue with this when I was new to L&L. It seems like everyone is in a rush with the little things these days. I was upset about this same thing when I first began using L&L. I went online and did a little research and read about how to sit the lid on top of the container properly. It only takes a couple seconds more to make sure that the lid is on there right, then you should be able to lock the clasps with no issue. The same can be said for those that say that the clasps are breaking off of the lids prematurely. I have some pieces that are over a year old, and the clasps aren't at all weakened.
The footprint of these containers are fantastic. Instead of trying to shove a gallon of milk in my fridge, I always transfer it over into a L&L pitcher. I have two for tea, one sweetened and the other unsweetened. I also have one for juice and another for vitamin water. All of these fit easily on to one shelf and look very tidy. They don't even take up the entire shelf, which is nice. I also buy things like vitamin water in bulk. Since I can't seem to find a big jug of these, and having all of the bottles in my fridge takes up too much space, I will pour all of them into one container and simply recycle the bottles. If I need to go out, I just pour some into my water bottle and take off.
If you're someone like me that has a full fridge most of the time, these are great to have in place of the conventional pitchers. Just as you do with anything else that you buy, make sure that you protect your investment and take care of them. All of my L&L lids are stored flat and I've never had any issues.
I hope this is helpful! :O)

Decent Pitcher Dec 24, 2008
By Noah Mcmurray
I had been looking for a new lemonade pitcher for a little while when I found this one. All in all it works pretty well - I get the occasional drip when pouring and, if you squeeze it too tight while shaking it may leak a little. Other than that, it's pretty spill-proof.
However, my one gripe is that the rubber "gasket" seal (a rubber band really) that is used to seal the spout when closed, comes off quite easily. Most often, it'll just drop into the pitcher or glass you're pouring into so it's not too hard to find. It is quite annoying though.

 Fatally flawed O-ring seal Oct 23, 2010
By WDK4
The flexible O-ring around the spout stopper won't stay in its groove so it just falls off ... sometimes into my juice! And without this O-ring seal the pitcher leaks all over the place when shaking. The "clip" seal for the top is fine, but the pouring stopper just does not work with this flimsy O-ring seal that won't stay in. Even Gorilla Glue failed in my multiple attempts to fix this. Please, re-engineer this seal, then maybe I'll buy another one.

Works great! Ergonomic and easily accessible Jan 24, 2009
By S. Melendy
"Cooking Creature"
We received two of these today, and we're exceptionally pleased. A gallon of liquid is pretty heavy and unless it's in a correctly-designed container, is very difficult to handle, especially if one is in a wheelchair. However, these pitchers are designed in a way that they fit nicely on the door of the fridge and are easily lifted off, even from the bottom compartment. The seals work great to prevent any drips or spills or leaks. When pouring from them, they don't leak. All in all, these were a great find; we're very happy with them and would recommend them highly to anyone.
