Premium Easy Wide-Mouth Fermenting Kit: Waterless Airlock Fermenter Lids Set with Day & Month Tracker, Pump, Guide. Ferment Sauerkraut, Pickles, Probiotics. Time Saver (Farmhouse White, 6 Pack)

The airlock on the lid is effective and has made ferments easy. As long as I do my part to use fresh veggies and keep it under the brine, I get great results. The pump is stupid simple to use, and the date on the lid reminds forgetful me how old the ferment is.Only minor nitpicks are the lid is a little difficult to open and close, but this is because it needs to seal tightly, no worse than some commercially produced products. It also makes a funny semi-quiet squeak from the airlock while vigorous fermenting occurs sometimes. Warn the family ahead of time or endure a witch hunt for it!

Below was my original review, but since then the seller reached out to me and asked me to give them another chance. The new set of lids worked to perfection. Tight seals and no fizzing.I'm so glad I tried these lids again. My new batches of ferments are coming along beautifully. Plus, these particular lids are cheaper than other comparable lids. Win-Win.Lemons happen, but the seller was great about making things right.Original review: I love to ferment foods, so I'm familiar with the process. I already have a set of fermenting lids similar to this one, but I decided to try this brand.I'm not sure if I got a lemon or if these lids simply aren't as good, but I've had trouble with three out of six lids. The silicone part does not seal properly. I did a batch of fermented garlic and the odor was overwhelming because the seals were loose. On two of the jars, they would bubble constantly outside the lid. I finally changed the lids to the other brand and the problem disappeared.I hate to return them because other than the seals being inconsistent, I do like them. They're easy to use. Still it does me no good to pay for six lids when only three of them do their job. I'd like to hear from the seller if they have an answer.

I figured out that the suction pump for this product works perfectly with FoodSaver zipper vacuum bags. I did a test a week ago using a damp paper towel. I used the hand suction pump for this item, sucked all the air out. A week later it still has a strong vacuum seal.As far as the jar tops that came with this order half of them won't hold a vacuum overnight. I only use 2 or 3 at a time so it's not a big deal.

Like the month and day dial vs just the day, like the price and the ease.Kombucha is happy and no fear of bottle bombs.Kraut, carrots, string beans, I'm happy with them so far, except now they're out of stock, typical.I came back for more, a few more.

The material the lids are made of is really good. The little pump air extractor is a tad stupid to use as it doesn't suck out as much air as I'd think it should per pump so several pumps are required to do the job properly. Once pressure builds up it will come out on its own but the air extractor will pull bubbles up from the bottom without having to shake or tap the jar. The calendar on the lid is very handy when timing the fermentation time. The threads fits my jars and are NOT prone to cross threading which is GOOD and much better than regular metal jar lids.

I ordered my first set of six and have made fermented salsa, pickles and kraut. These are so easy to use, I love the shorter profile, the jars tuck away easier than my older fermenting kits with the tall attachments. I usually pump 7-8 times pulling the air out. I've had no mold issues and I do like the date tracking feature on top. I ended up ordering a second set for myself and a set for my parents who also enjoy fermenting!

I’ve been using these for a good while now. Try them. You won’t be disappointed. My tips:if you tend to shake your jars occasionally then remove the lid afterwards n clean it up. It gets bits on the center seal and won’t hold a vacuum. Not a defect. Just something you gotta do to keep it clean.Also not cleaning it will get it gummed up n potentially stick shut making the lid hard to remove. Again. Keep it clean and no problems.Much better than metal lids that rust.Lastly. The company’s service is first class. You email them, they address it immediately.Buy their lid remover tool to make life easier.UPDATE: I’ve been using these for about 4 years now. It’s just simple. Many times I don’t even suction out the air if my contents are submersed. I have yet to have a failed ferment but that depends on your salt content. Just ordered more.

I'm new to fermenting and these lids have helped me make multiple great ferments without worrying about burping my jars daily and with no mold growth. The big issue I've found is that they cling to the odor of your ferment and tend to smell pretty strongly regardless of how much you clean them after their first use. I'm also a little unhappy with the durability of the date tracking rings as I've already had one ring pop off while soaking my lids in hot water trying to combat the aforementioned smell. These lids are nice and useful but not perfect.

Well made. Great value. Easy to use.Very happy with my purchase.

Exactly right for the job of fermenting and makes the process much faster and easier

Hi. Received the product promptly. was disappointed to find that the pumped not work: think it's missing a rubber seal or something similar because there is zero resistance when I pull the handle up (there should at least be a little resistance from the suction).Disappointing because the entire seat is pretty pricey and the lids are just regular lids with date markers without a functional pump.I have similar pump from another product: used that instead. Hence I know the lids do work.

The product is made very well and it fits the jars perfectly. I was sceptical about this purchase but I wanted to try it out. I am glad I did. I made a small batch of sourkraught. it turned out very well. The little pump makes all the difference.

Great product, easy to use. Love the pressure release valve and the suction pump features. Successfully fermented kimchi, sauerkraut (18 days), kvass, peppers. All turned out great. No evaporation issues with my sauerkraut. Love the low profile lids and easy all in one storage. One flaw: cheap quality date system that pops off easily because it’s too loose.
