Pros & Cons
Pros
Lids fit easily on my wide mouth quart jars. The portal for fitting the air lock is good and tight (almost too tight, really) loved these airlocks. Fermented some peppers as well as kombucha. Fermentation cut the core of the cabbage down to the solid ... Read More
Cons
The grommets that hold the airlocks in the lids are not airtight. The more expensive brand is plastic and the grommet on the lid is about twice as thick as this one. My wide mouth 64 ounce jar lids fit my gallon widemouth jars and that's about it.
They are not airtight at all, thus allowing oxygen to easily get into your jar. It's useless if it doesn't stay airtight. Not really clear instructions on headspace necessary not to overwhelm the mechanism. Probably ok for large ferments.
Highlights
Quality
Appears to be of a good quality and seemingly works well.
These have worked great at burping our jars as they ferment.
I let them ferment for three months and there was not a speck of any kind of mold or fungus on them whatsoever.
I started four 16 oz jars of these with a 3% brine (using a scale).
Shipping
I had a problem with the first delivery.
Packaging/appearance
Everything was packaged clean and was intact.
Package came quickly and is of great quality
Not a fancy gadget, but exactly what i needed, arrived in pristine condition, and i appreciate the contact info and tips from the seller.
Competitiveness
Side-by-side comparison of the same recipe and my fermented veggies were crunchier and had no kahm yeast.

I know people do ferments without these special gadgets but i would so much rather use them and have perfectly clean ferments then have to scrape off some mold because every time i read somewhere to “just scrape off the mold” it makes me feel a little bit funny inside
