"3 Large Lakeland VacuPots" star star star star star Bought 3 mail order - added 6 more from shop today - great storage containers. Well made and nice coloured silicone lids. I love them - especially good for dried fruits, nuts and candy. Will tell friends to buy them too .
"So far so good" star star star star star_border I have 9 of these containers and after a few weeks of use they are still working. I have experimented with the contents and have discovered that if you cover the powdered contents e.g. coffee, chilli powder etc with a circle of film (jam pot cover) the suction vent does not block. May be worth a try for those who still have working lids.
"Vacuum seals don't work" star star star_border star_border star_border While these are a great idea, the vacuum seals are hopeless. Lakeland, great as ever, sent me replacement lids for the ones which didn't work straight away, but gradually all the lids have stopped sealing properly. It is a shame as these pots are lovely to look at, they just don't do what they are supposed to. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for writing your review and taking the time to speak to me on the phone. The storage pots have an air-tight seal even without using the pump. However the pump will remove air for a number of days and then just needs to be re-pumped from time to time.
"Loses suction" star star star_border star_border star_border I agree with a lot of the reviews on here, they work at first but 1 by 1 they lose suction. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for placing your review. I'm sorry the vacupots have disappointed you, so I'll be in touch shortly to help.
"Disappointing" star star star_border star_border star_border Like other buyers these worked great for the first few weeks and now will not create a vacuum. Love the colours and a great size but disappointed by the vacuum and almost dropped them on more than one occassion because of the lack of sealing. support_agent A note from the team Thank you for placing your review. We're sorry to hear the vacu pots are not holding their vacuum. We'll be in touch soon.
