Shoddy

I bought some of these recently and the lids felt a little loose in their fittings. Turns out they were very loose. I opened one to get to the contents and the clip holding the lid on sprung off and the lid shattered all over the kitchen floor. Rubbish product and I definitely won't be buying Tala again!

poor quality

The glass itself seems a bit thin and light for this kind of jar but the real problem is with the closing mechanism. It is extremely flimsy and the mechanism is very floppy and doesnt close tightly enough to seal it from air or anything else, so its not very useful. Ocado used to sell the standard French Arc jars, which are great. Bring them back!

Tiny pieces of glass chipping off

The "closing mechanism" is too tight and requires a lot of force to close - because of this I have noticed the glass chipping off in tiny pieces where the metal hinge is. Really dangerous as they're tiny pieces and you don't necessarily see them breaking off! I only noticed this when I stepped on a tiny piece of broken glass and noticed a chip on the jar itself after. Have binned and replaced with another brand as I do not want to risk broken glass in my food.

Not great

Would not use for preserving anything as not airtight enough but ok for storing rice or pulses. Sticker is annoying as you have to soak the lid to get it off.

Big!

After an attack on my flour, cereals and pulses by the dreaded larder moth, I needed to invest in lots of this style of jar. The little buggers can actually burrow through plastic! So had to be glass. These are the largest jars available and I use them to store a 1kg bag of flour, or bag of porridge oats. They don't feel quite as strong and thick as the other usual brand, and somehow just feel a bit cheaper, but they do the job and my cupboards are clean and clear of moths.

OK

Need to spread oil or washing up liquid over the sticker to remove it before using it. Bit of a pain, really. Rubber ring is almost always old and stiff, so that needs replacing as well otherwise it's not airtight. Still it's nice to be able to buy from Ocado as it's the only jar of this type in this size.
