Default The Smart Lidz suck!!!!

Well, I had to try them out for myself and I am glad I did.

When they say something is too good to be true, I will believe them from now on. The premise was a good one. You saw my video. It does make a pressurized seal. It really does. BUT THE SEAL DOESN'T LAST.

Oh it lasted for two days. But once you take it off and you see the rippling, you have to hold it under hot water to make it smooth again.(Who wants to keep doing this??).

I wouldn't mind, if the darn thing kept the seal. But I went to the fridge and the seals were just sitting on top of the bowls, NOT DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I said to myself: "Oh, fooey" (didn't use the word fooey, believe me).

And the best is the little lid. The infomercial says 'use it on metal, plastics, ceramic bowls."

So I opened up a can of mushrooms. (using my One Touch) which doesn't leave any jagged edges, right??. So I placed the seal on top of the can, pressed down and the whole thing cut the seal right through. I said 'how can they say use it on metal, when the metal cuts right through it.?"

THEN, I took one of the medium seals, and tried to seal a bowl of salad.
I pressed down and instead of hearing the WHOOSH of the pressurized seal, it felt air. That's right, there was a tiny hole.

So I have exactly two lids left. I'll still use them, but today I went to the ninety nine cents store, bought 3 bowls with pressurized lids, and they store my foods just fine.

So don't waste your money.

On to the next gadget!!!

Melody - your enthusiasm for trying new products always gets to me.

You should consider starting your own YouTube program with all the various things you try. I bet you would become famous.

I know I would watch from the day you get it and your unbridled joy to your satisfaction/disappointment.

Your posts have so much personality that my hunch is that you would be an instant YouTube phenomenon.

Thumbs up

This cracks me up. I saw the commercial for the first time the other day and remembered seeing a thread from you about buying them - hadn't read the thread though.

My husband hates watching commercials with me because I'm a little sarcastic and very doubtful of miraculous claims. They looked great, but I just couldn't see them working for very long or holding their shape.

AHA - Can't wait to tell him I was right!

Thanks for the warning. I agree with the others who say your videos would be a good business for consumer reporting.

Hi Mel~ If I were you, I'd call the company *or email them* and tell them exactly what you told us. I'd want a refund!

I still say "If it's too good to be true, it usually is".

I gotta say tho, I like your little product investigations. Don't you dare do infomercials!! I'd probably buy everything from you!
