I have a glass, not plastic, one. I love it. Much easier to clean and take hydrometer readings with. I love it.
I've seen some bad reviews about its inability to create an airtight seal. If it doesn't seal properly, then it is effectively useless?

You gotta remember that if you are gentle with your active fermentations, I nice pillow of CO2 should remain above your beer and protect it quite well. Being heavier than air, it creates an excellent protective barrier.
If it's exposed to the atmosphere (i.e. not sealed) the CO2 will be driven to an equal concentration with the surrounding atmosphere. It's why a coke bottle will go flat a day or two after you open it even though the lid is on tight enough to prevent liquid from leaking out.

If this were true, we'd all be dead.
brb let me get my ladder so i can breath o2 cause blanket of co2 is on the ground.
gasses don't stratify.
Did you even read what I wrote? Try reading it one more time.
The concentration of CO2 (or any gas for that matter) inside a container will be driven to equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere if it is permeable to the gas molecules.
