I confess, I'm a rubbermaid/tupperware junkie. There's no such thing as "too much".

You know how you always have just a bit of this or that leftover after a meal? Here's your answer to storing leftovers for a handy meal later. This container has adequate space for a large chicken breast, veggies, and/or pasta or potatoes. I love that you can see through it on the top or sides and reheat without soiling another dish. I was a bit skeptical about buying this but after having it awhile now, am very happy with it.

The lids don't fit without a lot of fiddling and the divider doesn't go to the top so food spills over into other compartment. Not what I was expecting for the price.

I have had this item for at least 5 years. It is still in great shape. It doesn't have any weird odors, it hasn't warped, and the seal still works quite well.

I've always been a true Rubbermaid fan. Historically, the products have stood head and shoulders above the competition. About 5 years ago, I purchased the 20+ piece set from Costco and promptly subjected them to heavy usage. Just about every container in the set has been used about once a week, sometimes more. I usually use the upper rack of the dishwasher to clean.

As you can imagine, the lids have all started to loosen up and fall off if the container is tipped over or subjected to shock. What a mess. I was expecting leakage but loosing all the contents? After systematically testing all the pieces, it was clear the whole set has seen it's useful days and you can only expect to hold onto the contents if the container is treated most gently and remains upright the whole time.

I am a little disappointed. Previous Rubbermaid products have had stiffer lids (harder to remove but lasted forever) and the containers lasted until I accidentally melted the container in the microwave, dropped it from great heights while completely frozen or other acts of great abuse.

Therefore, I went to the Costco to check out their selection of food containers and did a careful inspection. Of the display sets, only Rubbermaid and Snapware demo containers survived the hordes of enthused shoppers in working condition. I know, very unscientific test. Don't get me wrong, I still think Rubbermaid makes a quality product much better than many out there but I've decided to try the Snapware and see what happens.

The divider doesn't go all the way to the lid. Not even close. I wanted something for the kids' lunchboxes. This didn't work out, so I returned it.

This container isn't bad but its not to good either,,,,,,sometimes its not a good seal shut

Awful product. The lids are hard to fit. It is annoying. Also food spills over into other compartment.

Very handy to have a divided food storage container. It holds plenty and stores in the frige easily.

I have always liked Rubbermaid products - and this unit is a fraction of the price of its counterpart from Tupperware with similar functionality. My husband uses these divided units to take leftovers to work for lunch. They hold-up well in the microwave, and also fit easily in the dishwasher for thorough cleaning.

Comes in real handy for left overs. Much better quality than some others I have bought.
