4.0 out of 5 stars Very efficient food storage, June 13, 2009

I once ordered the food storage containers with a "LocktoLock" brand name. They are similar in nature to these in that they have a removable silicone seal and four locking latches. The "LockToLock" containers, however, will not nest for storage when they are not in use, thus they take up as much space empty as they do when in use.

These containers, however, nest nicely in a drawer, and provide completely airtight storage for food in my freezer/refrigerator. Though they claim to be microwave safe, I don't think that any plastic containers should be used in the microwave; all will melt if subjected to the heat of microwaved food - will cause blistering of the plastic and is probably no good for your health. They would be perfect if they were made of the same polycarbonate plastic as the "LockToLock" containers.

These are great food storage containers. Because they have seals and snap closed, they keep the food fresh longer. Also, if you leave the food in the fridge until it rots, it never smells, nor explodes. Really great containers. The set has too many small ones, I'd like more of the middle sizes, but still great set.

3.0 out of 5 stars quality???, January 18, 2010

Just got the 36 piece set

Took it home. Washed it.

was about to put cereal into the 23 Cup Cereal Container. Tapped the lid to make sure there was no water in the seals and then, the pour lid snapped off. Apparently the hinge for the pour spout just broke. And because of that, the lid can no longer seal air tight. The cereal lid seals in 2 ways. 1) Main seal that goes around the entire top of the cereal container itself & 2) And then another lid built into the lid so that you can pour the cereal out.

I called Snapware customer service. They say they'll replace it. We'll see how this process goes. Their web site says 6-8 weeks to get replacement.

The stuff looks good. But for that to happen within minutes of opening and washing makes me wonder if this is a quality product or just good looking cheap stuff.

That being said, other reviews have been pretty solid. Perhaps this was a freak thing.
