When I received the product and snapped the lid on for the first time it didn't seem to fit snugly. I tried to get it to lock on better by applying firm pressure around the edges, but the moment I let off, the lid would pop back up a bit. The catch point seemed to be where the lid went over the handles.

I had hoped that despite this, that the gasket would still be sufficient to seal it, but two weeks later my dog food is full of tiny ants. They are able to free walk under the lid, totally defeating the point of the airtight spinning cap. Judging by the magnitude of infestation, it seems that the ants find it easier to get into the container than the rolled up bag containing the extra dog food I couldn't fit into this.

Bummer...

The vault works very well - it seals in the food and is easy to use. However, it wasn't until it was all unpacked and I was pouring food into the vault that I realized that the lip of the base was slightly cracked. The base is harder plastic than the top, and can break rather than bend.

In my case I decided that the small crack probably would not spread and it didn't affect the lid closing. So I kept the unit.

I still recommend this, but be sure and check it thoroughly before using - you may need to return it!

We just received our 30lb Vittles Vault for our cat food. Looks to be well made and seals tight. The only problem is that my wife and I both have bad hands, and the screw down lid is tough to open. It takes a lot of force. Still, it's a good product.

I wish this company also made a wall-mounted food hopper. All the wall mounted pet food dispensers I read about on line have door / flap issues. The Vittles Vault company makes a quality product and would probably get it right.

Great product, but very confused why the place an advertising sticker on the product that can't be removed? I bought it for clean organized look, but it looks horrible with a half removed sticker.

I absolutely love these things. I don't use them for pet food. I use them to store bags of flour. I bought my first, then bought a second, and am ready to buy a third. It allows me to store 20-lbs bags of flour (one for All Purpose- and another for Bread-flour). I'm buying the third to store sugar. I could have my husband pour the 20lbs sacks into the bins for me (and store more), but I prefer to leave them in the bags. It easily stores 20-lbs sacks, so it could easily store 40-lbs if emptied.

Since I bake most of our bread and prepare our other foods from scratch (as much as possible), we go through a lot of dry ingredients (about 20-lbs of flour a month). I want to keep pests out (or in, as the case may be) and protecting our food is important. I hate wasting food because bugs have taken over the pantry.

I know these aren't rated for people food, but the equivalent items at restaurant supply type stores are ridiculously expensive (10 times the price). I'd been looking for years for something to solve the problem of grain storage, and these are the solution for us.

I also have arthritis in my hands, so it is often difficult for me to open tightly closed jars and bottles. Because the lids on these spin without much force, and it is possible to get a grip on the lid (to open or close) in multiple places, I can open and close without any pain at all, while still keeping them tightly closed.

I can't say enough about them.

My kids tease me because every time I open or close them I chant "I just LOVE these things!" I know it's silly to be so enamored with a storage bin, but when something works, BETTER than advertised, it just makes using the things so pleasurable.

A must have for pet owners! Keeps dry food fresh and pest free. Gaskets beneath the snap on lid, and then has a threaded top so that you can easily get to the pet food. Wonderful!

This product is fine for what it is. It doesnt seem to be as "air tight" as they claim (or maybe it was just mine), but it does the job just fine. Its great for normal indoor use. We kept our old dog food in an old iams can, and it started to rust, so it was definitely time to change. They're pretty compact and easy to keep out of the way. Nothing fancy. I'm happy with it, and if you dont have issues with bugs or mold (or anything else that would make you need something truly air-tight), I would definitely reccomend it.

These are really good storage containers, and much cheaper to buy online then at Petsmart. Can't beat the prime shipping eiether, it is very fast.
I purchased the 40lb container for the Dogs food, and the 30lb one for the Cats.
Containers feel durable and nothing arrived cracked or anything. Definetly recommend these!

This container came exactly as ordered and holds more than I thought it would; it doesn't take up a lot of space. So far, it's very easy to use & seems to seal really well.

This is very handy for use to store dry dog food in and it fits in our laundry room closet.
