I own a set of these as well as Pyrex glass storage boxes (a set of 3 square ones, 0.75L, 1.5L and 2.6L). I love them both. The majority of the containers in this set are smaller than the Pyrex ones. When I first saw them in a store, I had thought that they were too small to be useful (I use them to store leftovers), so I bought the Pyrex set instead. After using the Pyrex ones, I found them to be too big often times and hated having them take up rooms in my frig when they are half-empty (they are also heavy on the shelves). I went back to the store soon after to get this set and it's an excellent compliment to my Pyrex set. The glass is heavier than the Pyrex glass. The lids are water-tight while the Pyrex ones are not. They are dishwasher safe. I am so satisfied with them that I gave a set to my mother-in-law. I gave 4 stars because sometimes snapping open or close the lid on the largest size can put strains on my hands.

I've been using these to pack hubby's lunch for years, since the days when you had to find them at the Korean supermarket (sandwiches can go into a Snapware plastic box, but if it's going in the microwave, I'd rather pack it in glass). I have yet to find anything superior.

Snapware is the US distributor, not the manufacturer, but they're not outsourcing to Korea - these were invented for the Korean market (and won an international design award), and Snapware, which makes its plastic ware in the US, decided they couldn't do better. They're providing awesome customer support considering they don't actually make the stuff - I managed to break the lid on one of the boxes, and they sent me a new one with minimal hassles and no questions asked (I sent them a picture of the broken lid via email - how cool is that?).

If you're having trouble getting the lids to go on: make sure the gasket is in the right way - they have a rectangular cross-section, not square, and if they get turned the box doesn't close. Some of the older boxes also had two different lid depths, and two gasket thicknesses, and if you mixed them up they didn't seal properly at all, but I think they finally fixed this. (And of course make sure you have the right gasket in the right lid - some sets are color coded by shape - red=round, blue=square, rectangle=green - but some aren't).

Besides that, no complaints. I wish they had a deep large round to use as a big noodle bowl (feels funny eating noodles out of a rectangle), or even an actual bowl with the snap-on lid. Given how popular these have become for lunches, maybe they'll expand the line.

I got this set in a great deal for $29.99. must say this set is an excellent addition to my kitchen. I own pyrex 14 piece and 18 piece set too. those are also great but the pyrex lids are not water tight. but glasslock literally locks everything inside and nothing drips out even if you totally invert them...:-)
The best thing is, other than storing my leftovers, I use them for preparations too and also sometimes for serving. They are allrounder.
Cons : they are not conventional oven proof as pyrex and also the lids are such super tights that most of the time I have to ask my hubby to close all four sides.lol.
overall it is a must have for all the kitchens.
