These containers are just perfect. The lids seal properly and are very easy to put on and take off. They have a tiny ledge that sticks over the edge of the glass container which really helps in removing them (my mother with arthritis loves this). Also the lids have a vent in them if you care to use them in the microwave. I do not, but I leave it open when I put the lid on the container, then press down on the lid and seal the vent and achieve a very good seal with less air inside.

I have ordered more, they have become my main storage containers!!

What I like most about these containers is that they are made of glass. Unlike plastic, they don't stain, warp, or impart unwanted flavors into food.

The shortcoming is the lid. Simply flipping the valve doesn't make the container airtight. You need to press down FIRMLY on the lid to push out the air and then seal the valve. The lid is a very dense plastic. It isn't malleable like Tupperware or Gladware lids. The amount of effort required to push down on the lid would be too much for someone with arthritis.

The upside to the lid is that, being the type of plastic it is, it doesn't tear around the edges or lose its shape.

The inside dimensions of the square container are 6.5 inches by 6.5 inches, the round container has a 6 inch diameter, and the rectangular container is 6.5 x 4.5.

These are heavy-duty containers, and the lids form a good seal, but I don't really think the vents do much of anything.

I love the glass containers! I bought both the ones with the "click" lids and the set with the regular lids. If you want a tight seal where nothing will leak out, you need the set with the blue air valve in the middle. It basically allows you to press the lid (slightly) then click it closed and it forms a vacuum thus making it pretty tight. The set with the plastic "tupperware" type lids are basically just "on". They are not sealed tight and will spill if turned upside down. I like them both as I use them for different foods. The best is I'm not using plastic which stains and releases harmful chemicals to food. I've also purchased the ones by pyrex, they are just the same as the Bormolio with white lids. Check the sizes as these with the blue center are large and not for individual portions.

I love these. They are awesome. I have a couple sets I have been using about a year and they still look brand new despite constant use. I love the fact they are glass rather than plastic (except the lids). I think they must be healthier. They have replaced my Tupperware Rock N Serve. Couldn't be happier.
