First of all, I love these. They fold neatly, take up little cabinet space, etc.
However, it does NOT say on the package that they are microwave or freezer safe. I find that info only here on AMazon which leaves me wondering...are they or aren't they?
Secondly, because the flattened containers have to be pushed open, these might be difficult for an elderly person to handle. It isn't exactly hard to do but does take at least normal strength, average strength, not something a weak, ill or otherwise impaired person might manage. Other than that, I think they are great. They clean up nicely, store food, the lids stay in place, etc.
Now if I only know about their microwave capabilities!

The accordian folds in the bowls need improvement. Firstly, my S/O could not get the bowls to open all the way. I got it open okay, but when I put medium temperature leftover chile into it, that 6-cup folded just like a cheap suit into a 4-cup. Was that by design? I don't know. It held 4-cups of chile. Perhaps that is the design - shrink to fit?

Washing the bowl in hot water did the same shrinkage. A 6-cup bowl shrinks to 2-cups and I had to wrestle open to clean the ridges.

Save your money on this one.

Good idea, but it doesn't work so well.

All in one versatile use. Very nice width and lid to conform to each collapse. Goes from freezer/refrigerator to microwave nicely and hasn't stained yet. The negative....it collapses too easily. The lid is difficult to snap on and on pressing the lid on, the bowl collapses. For those of you with hand difficulties and limitations, I would not recommend this product. Otherwise is a very innovative product.

These were very hard to get to fold flat, they kept folding wrong. Hard to clean as well, as the dishwasher didn't get in the crevices that are created by the folding material.

Do not attempt top use the container with warm or worse hot liquid's. I used it to try to store a stew. The Lid is very difficult to put on and the container collapsed almost immediately. I don't appreciate having to clean a counter, floor and base cabinet because of such a terrible product. I bought them for the low price but the aggravation factor was not worth it. A bargain their not.

I got two of these for my mother-in-law for christmas. they seem really nice and sturdy. And my mother-in-law really likes them!

This item is great for storing items. It obviously collapses to save on storage with a nice tightly fitting lid. The drawback is you cannot microwave it too long because the plastic is thinner than most tupperware and can melt. Other than that great item.

A squissible product, which just happens to fit into a storage box....and, creates the ideal space once opened.
Sturdy, and reliable.

Was going to use it for camping and it's probably the diameter of a soccer ball. Just so you have a size reference. Other than that it's great.

I originally bought this rubbermaid in Publix and I found it so easy to store when I wasn't using it. Then Publix stop selling it and I found it online.
