Pros & Cons
Pros
Acutal whole in each top with separate bubblers, seals & weights plus stopper. The silicone gaskets and the glass weights seem to be of good quality and make a very nice, air tight seal.
The internet is awash with recipes for fermenting everything, and i'm here for it. I have one open fermenter that's going to be used for sauerkraut. I'm ordering another set of these because i have too many ideas to wait a couple of weeks to try them ... Read More
The directions are clear and concise. Know your thermal shock information. The only bad thing is you can't get them to hot or they’ll explode.
Cons
The glass was more fragile than any other type of mason jar. They don't cover enough surface area letting food float past. Was able to finish the ferment but had to be thrown away after 1 use.
We love the product line, but this last set appears to have a different plastic airlock material. Completely unsafe. The jars are fine but the airlocks themselves are worthless at this point.
Highlights
Quality
This kit includes all necessary components for successful fermentation: a durable glass jar, fermenting weights, and airlocks.
Easy to use, easy to clean, great test
It ripped during the first fermentation i did rendering the jar useless as i cannot plug it or use the airlock.
Whether my reaction is for more the fermenting process itself vs these jars is a coin toss at this point.
Price
I felt it was expensive but the idea is great.
Packaging/appearance
5l) i was very impressed with the packaging which kept everything secure during shipping, (and also storage between batches).
Very well packaged and came with extra seals.
Competitiveness
I was hesitant to go with a cheaper option over the well known brands but this is great.
Do-it-yourself fermination tastes much better than the store-bought and you save a lot of $$$$ doing it yourself.

I have searched the internet for company contact infocustomer service and found no way to reach jillmo for a replacement grommet

Update the seller reached out to me after i wrote this review and offered me either a full refund or replacement grommets
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So advice to potential buyers you have to be gentle with the grommets when inserting and removing them into the lid
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
They rip quite easily but the company stands by their product and will send you more for free if you have a problem
