1.0 out of 5 stars Tilia should RECALL these BULK canisters ......, November 14, 2003

Our Tilia unit sits prominently on the kitchen counter and it gets used numerous times a day! I have 20 of their white dome top designer canisters and six of the bulk food canisters.

Even though the bulk ones are great for cookies, cereal, a lot of different corn chips and crackers they have a design problem in that the tops get almost microscopic stress cracks which allow the air the enter and makes them useless. Now here is the KICKER, Tilia says that these tops can not be put in the diswasher, and even though we have hand washed these tops I believe the stress cracks develop truough time and NOT misuse! I mean c'mon now how are you going to misuse these dumb things they don't work well as frisbees at all. Matter of fact the square bulk canister top .... oh well you get the point

So ... Tilia will replace the item free of charge BUT ONLY UP TO 1 YEAR AFTER purchase.......ALSO WORSE, they do not replace only the tops OR the plastic rings that have a tendency to stretch after time and usage!

I askied Tilia if they were NUTS or what .... I spend 25 bucks fo a canister and run the risk of having to dump it if it cracks after 1 year!

So far I now have 3 canisters with stress cracks and I had Tilia replace 3 of them already! Tilia told me they aren't gonna replace any more of them and I told I sure ain't buying any bulk canisters.....

I did find that using an expoxy glue that comes in two seperate tubes to be mixed and is sold at ACE will fill in the cracks after the epoxy hardens if you put the glue on while trying to get a vaccum .... that way the expoy gets sucked into the tiny tiny cracks ... So far so good, let you know next yearif I still got any bulk containers left ....

TILIA YOU GOT A GREAT PRODUCT I'M AN AVID CUSTOMER BUT FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE BULK CANISTERS NOW .... OR AT LEAST REPLACE THE TOPS ONLY these items are too too expensive to be worthless after ony a few years !!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't hold a seal in the refrigerator, February 18, 2005

I bought this large container hoping to use it for storing salad veggies. Unfortunately, the seal will not hold in the refrigerator. I get it to seal, put it in the refrigerator and when I retrieve it later for use, I can pull the cover right off. At first I assumed I was doing something wrong. However, I have had this happen each and every time I tried this (at least five times now), even though I followed all directions, made sure there was no moister on the rim, etc., etc.

The container is great for storing dry goods in the pantry--the seal holds just fine there. If you want this for anything other than that, do not purchase this particular type of container.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Versatile Product, July 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: FoodSaver 2-Quart Bulk Storage Canister (Kitchen)

All of the FoodSaver Bulk Canisters are great for a variety of things. This 2 qt. is perfect for storing a head of lettuce. You can keep lettuce fresh for up to two weeks without it getting soggy and brown. There's nothing worse then lettuce slime! The Bulk canisters are also great if you have a large family and can't marinate enough meat in the square marinating canister. Also great for storing staples in your pantry. I find that after talking to people, Tilia products are most often found "faulty" because people don't read instructions or watch the videos that come with the machines. This canister can NOT go in the freezer OR the microwave. The only downside other than that is the fact that these canisters are large, and most people won't have room for them in the fridge. Make sure you check the dimensions of your fridge before you order. Tilia is a great company! They even redesigned these canisters so you don't have to buy the jar sealer to use them!
