These are hands down the best food storage containers ever manufactured. I am simply in love with them in every way, and the pros of their design hugely outweigh every con. I'll share both below, but first my experienced advice when purchasing this kind of product/material:
Only hand wash these. Even though they are dishwasher safe, and they truly are, we are only washing ours by hand. They will come out of the dishwasher looking as new as when you purchased them, yes, but eventually they will degrade and get hairline scratches or cracks. These are the only items that remain on our counter to be hand washed because I want to preserve the finish and beauty for as many years as possible. [ ***UPDATE almost year later*** Sure enough, one of my kids accidentally put one in the dishwasher twice, and today it has rippling effect in the plastic over several areas, and there are two cracks starting. They are still clear and still look nice, but I hate that it ruined the perfect clear smooth look of the piece. Do NOT use these in dishwasher if you want to preserve the brand new look. You won't find better quality than these, because all the top quality dishwasher safe plastic does this regardless what they say.] Only use a soft dishcloth with dish soap, NOT a dishwand - unless the wand uses the really soft sponge attachments without any abrasive finishes or scrubbing surfaces, even if it's the scratch-free/scratch-resistant kind for non-stick cookware, etc. Using those kinds of wand sponges on this kind of plastic, regardless its durability, will scratch it almost immediately the first time, at first with a couple hairline scuffs you can't see without tilting in the right light, and then it will build to an eventual noticeable haze or streaks and swirls of scratches. I know this because I have used this kind of plastic for 13 years and ruined some of the most beautiful glasses and bowls. We have an inground pool, and I have spent years finding and purchasing high quality, crystal clear plastic glasses and dishes so that we won't have broken glass or ceramic anywhere near our pool or patio and ruin our liner. No matter what kind I buy, even the highest end and most expensively made, over time they do start to get a hazy or scuffed finished so many washes with dishwands, and dishwashers WILL eventually cause hairline cracks. I love these so much that I don't want to risk this happening again, or at least not for another 15 or 20 years.
[ ***UPDATE almost year later*** Everything I said below is still spot on. The entire collection looks gorgeous and one of the sizes is always a perfect fit for whatever we want to put in it.]
PROS:
- not just crystal clear, but beautiful glass-like clear over the entire surface and lid - you would swear they are glass. They are beautiful in my fridge and make it actually look lovely even when it's cluttered and a mess. LOL We love clearly seeing the contents in full color no matter what angle it is or what it is on top of or under or behind. You know how we try to easily see what is behind something else in our fridge? This requires the smallest peek to see the contents. Less waste due to hurriedness or memory loss! heh heh
- a safe BPA free plastic that won't interfere with the safety of your food in the microwave
- ingenious lid design. I just love it. Line it up and push down and the rubber edging under the lid snuggly fits into place creating an airtight seal. The handles on the lid locks them in place even though they truly wouldn't come off without that. But the feature is a plus when tossing around in a lunch bag or in a freezer/fridge. Venting under the lock handles is also smart as ever. Lock handle design provides smooth operation that is never difficult to snap down or pull up.
- The lids may not stack neatly nested into a thin stack because of the lovely and necessary seal on the undersides, as well as the locking handles, but we place all the lids on their side edges stacked in one of this set's largest containers and it is easy to pull just one out without making a mess with the others. You could simply use another plastic rectangular container for this so you can easily remove the large container, or purchase a really nice holder for these lids. This is the one I'm saving up for because it will fit the lid for the large rectangular containers too: https://www.amazon.com/InterDesign-Cabinet-Binz-Compartment-Organizer/dp/B01M4IZFE9/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1539108799&sr=8-5&keywords=plastic+lid+storage+organizer
And these two would fit the small and medium ones nicely if you have a large number of containers: https://www.amazon.com/YouCopia-50100-StoraLid-Container-Organizer/dp/B07FNRXFTD/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1539108799&sr=8-7&keywords=plastic+lid+storage+organizer
and
https://www.amazon.com/mDesign-Kitchen-Container-Storage-Organizer/dp/B0778SFR19/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1539108799&sr=8-6&keywords=plastic+lid+storage+organizer
- The bottoms do nest nicely. Not all the way down, but you really wouldn't want that because over time a surface will develop very fine hairline scuffs from the friction. I'm certain on these they will be hard to notice for years to come, unless tilted at just the right angle, due to their glass-like finish. These nest sufficiently to save space, and limits the amount of that expected scuffing over a long time. So far we have none and we use these every single day - rarely using any of our others anymore.
- They have not stained at all. Red spaghetti residue easily washes off with soap and a gentle rag. Simply rinsing in warm or hot water will not take it off because the coloring is trapped in the oils, and you need the soap to remove the oil. The surface of this plastic is not porous so it just waits for you to wash it.
- The sizes were certainly thoughtful and Rubbermaid set out to find the perfect size offerings that would fit most foods that you are looking for that size in, and deep enough to accommodate the lid while being nice and full. They fit more than you would think they would and you don't realize it until you are actually placing the food in.
- The lids come off easily if you know the right way. It's an airtight seal, folks, so it is going to have some kind of suction resistance. However, the proper way to remove them doesn't have such a strong resistance. You leave them flat on the counter, place a hand on side of the container, or the opposite end of the lid from the corner you are lifting up, (too keep the whole container from lifting up,) and gently lift up on only one corner until it pops right up and off. It won't be as easy trying to pop off two corners at once or lifting from a side edge between corners. We never have a problem removing them now, and it will be easy even when my hands no longer have the strength and dexterity to manipulate lids, so I believe older people do not have to worry and these are the best containers to get right now with this much ease.
CONS:
- stackability of the lids...but - meh - they still fit nicely in the way I store them on their edges.
- washing and drying the lids at the edges and under the seal. Any design change to make that easier would lose the more important air-tight fit that has an ease to putting the lid on and taking it off. You have to remember to slide a finger with the towel around it under the seal all the way around - which actually can be done smoothly and quickly due to the curved and smooth design, and then run the towel around the indented edges on both sides. Sure - it takes more time, but since you'll enjoy looking at these in all ways, even when cleaning, it won't bother you. I just recite in my head while I'm drying them how much I love these and how they are the best purchase I have ever made, and before I know it I'm done. LOL
- they are expensive. But they are worth the cost, and you can space out purchasing different sizes over weeks or months until you finally have the collection you want to have. I still have about two to three more purchases to complete mine, but by the beginning of next year I'll have it complete. Worth the wait! Trust me.

I bought these to store stuff in my freezer so I could take everything out of the bags so I could organize my freezer better, and my kids could actually find what they’re wanting without me having to look for it. 😂 they have a great seal to keep things fresh, and they fit perfectly on the shelves in my freezer.
