The deciding specification is whether the maker publishes a full set of dimensions at all, and whether those figures agree with the maker's own words.

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
Storage-friendly dimensions begin with figures you can check. Youeon publishes 2.72 by 2.72 by 1.42 inches and a 4.1 pound set weight, the most complete published set among the five. Wagrvuy publishes 4.0 by 4.0 by 0.98 inches but no weight. Elementi publishes a 0.4 pound set weight but no width, depth or height. JILLMO and LELELUK publish package dimensions only, which describe the box rather than the weight.
The gap between a full set and a partial one is the whole story here. A maker that states width, depth and height lets you measure a drawer before buying. A maker that states only a weight leaves the footprint unknown. A maker that states only package dimensions leaves both unknown. That is why the ranking below puts published completeness ahead of every other consideration.
| Specification | Youeon | Wagrvuy | Elementi | JILLMO | LELELUK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 2.72 in | 4.0 in | not published | not published | not published |
| Depth | 2.72 in | 4.0 in | not published | not published | not published |
| Height | 1.42 in | 0.98 in | not published | not published | not published |
| Set weight | 4.1 lb | not published | 0.4 lb | 2.0 lb | 0.88 lb |
| Package dimensions | not published | not published | 3.82 by 3.31 by 3.82 in | 3.75 by 3.75 by 1.77 in | 2.75 by 2.75 by 1.38 in |
| Pieces per set | 9 | 2 semicircles | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Material | Glass | Ceramic | Soda-lime glass | Glass | Glass |
| Dishwasher stated | Yes | Yes | Yes | not published | Yes |
The table does not tell you how any weight behaves in a jar. It does not tell you whether a 4.0 inch diameter clears your jar mouth, because jar openings vary. It does not tell you whether a set weight reflects one piece or nine. Those are questions for the maker’s feature text, and where the text is silent, the table cannot fill the gap.
Youeon is the only one of the five that publishes all three dimensions in its specification fields. That matters because storage planning needs a footprint, not just a weight. A weight can be light and still too wide for a drawer divider. A weight can be heavy and still fit a narrow gap. Without width and depth, you cannot tell which case applies until the box arrives.
Wagrvuy publishes all three as well, at 4.0 by 4.0 by 0.98 inches, but states no weight. That combination is useful for fitting and less useful for judging how much mass holds the vegetables down. If your drawer is the constraint, Wagrvuy gives you the numbers. If the hold-down force is the constraint, it does not.
JILLMO and LELELUK both publish package dimensions. JILLMO states 3.75 by 3.75 by 1.77 inches for the box. LELELUK states 2.75 by 2.75 by 1.38 inches. Those figures describe shipping packaging, which may include foam, padding or a gift box. They are not a reliable stand-in for the weight itself, and treating them as one can lead to a drawer that does not close.
The distinction is easy to miss because both sets of numbers use inches. A product dimension tells you what you will store. A package dimension tells you what will arrive at your door. For storage planning, only the first is useful, and only Youeon and Wagrvuy publish it among the five.
Youeon publishes 4.1 pounds for a nine-piece set. Elementi publishes 0.4 pounds for a two-piece set. JILLMO publishes 2.0 pounds for a two-piece set. LELELUK publishes 0.88 pounds for a two-piece set. These are set weights, and they are not comparable across products with different piece counts. A nine-piece set at 4.1 pounds and a two-piece set at 2.0 pounds tell you different things about a single weight.
Wagrvuy publishes no weight at all. That is not a flaw in the product, but it is a gap in the documentation. If you are comparing hold-down mass, you cannot place Wagrvuy on the same scale as the others. The maker may state a per-piece figure elsewhere, but the fact sheet does not include one.
Some makers state a per-piece weight in their feature text rather than in the specification fields. Youeon states about 7 ounces per weight. LELELUK states 7.1 ounces per weight. Those figures are more useful for comparing hold-down force than the set weight, because they describe one jar’s worth of mass. They are also easier to check against a recipe or a jar size.
The catch is that feature text is not always consistent with the specification fields. When a maker states a per-piece figure and a set weight, the two should agree once you multiply by the piece count. Where they do not, treat both with caution and ask the maker before relying on either.
JILLMO states that for proper fit the inner diameter of the jar must be greater than 3.8 inches. That is a fit requirement, not a product dimension, and it is the clearest jar-fit statement among the five. It tells you the weight needs a wide opening and gives you a number to check against your own jar. Without it, you would be guessing from the title alone.
Wagrvuy states a 4.3 inch diameter in its feature text and describes a split semicircle design. That design may make removal easier in a narrow jar, but the fact sheet does not state an inner diameter requirement. If your jar opening is close to the weight diameter, check with the maker before ordering.
Youeon describes a diamond-shaped bulge handle. Elementi describes an easy grip handle and notes that a fork can retrieve a weight that sits too deep. JILLMO describes a raised handle for wet hands. LELELUK describes a finger-friendly grip. These are handling features, not storage features, but they affect how often you reach for the weight and how easily it goes back in the drawer.
None of the five publishes a stack height or a nesting figure. If you plan to store several weights in one compartment, treat each as a single item and allow space between them. The handles add height that the specification fields may not capture, so the published height is a starting point rather than a final answer.
Drawer planner. Youeon publishes width, depth and height, so you can measure a drawer before buying. Its 2.72 by 2.72 inch footprint and 1.42 inch height are the figures to check against your space.
Shallow-shelf user. Wagrvuy publishes 0.98 inches in its height field, but states no weight. Use it where vertical clearance is the constraint and you can accept an unpublished mass.
Small-batch fermenter. Elementi publishes a 0.4 pound set weight, the lightest here, for a two-piece set. It states no dimensions, so plan by the jar size in the title rather than by a footprint.
Gallon-jar user. JILLMO rates its weights for 1 gallon wide mouth jars and states a 3.8 inch inner diameter requirement. That is the number to check before ordering, even though product dimensions are not published.
Two-piece buyer. LELELUK publishes a 0.88 pound set weight and states a 2.75 inch diameter in its feature text. Package dimensions are published, but product dimensions are not, so confirm the footprint with the maker.
The fact sheet leaves several questions open. These are the gaps we could not close from the published material.
A storage claim is a sentence. A dimension is a number you can hold against your drawer or shelf. When a maker publishes width, depth and height, you can plan before buying. When it publishes none, you are relying on the photograph and the jar size in the title, which may not match what arrives.
Youeon publishes 2.72 by 2.72 by 1.42 inches and a 4.1 pound set weight. Wagrvuy publishes 4.0 by 4.0 by 0.98 inches but no weight. Elementi publishes a 0.4 pound set weight but no dimensions. JILLMO and LELELUK publish package dimensions only, which describe the box, not the weight.
No. A set weight covers every piece in the box. Youeon's 4.1 pounds is for nine weights, so one piece is a fraction of that. If you need a single-piece figure, look for a maker that states it in the feature text, such as a per-piece ounce figure.
JILLMO states that for proper fit the inner diameter of the jar must be greater than 3.8 inches. That is a fit requirement, not a product dimension. It tells you the weight needs a wide opening, and it is the kind of number worth checking against your own jar before ordering.
The fact sheet does not describe stacking for any of the five. Wagrvuy's split semicircle design and the handles on the others affect how they sit in a jar, not how they stack in a drawer. Without a published stack height, treat each weight as a single item when planning space.
Several makers state dishwasher safe in their features, including Wagrvuy and Elementi. Youeon states dishwasher and hand washable. JILLMO states easy to rinse clean but does not use the dishwasher phrase. Always check the maker's own wording for the specific model you buy.
