Rubbermaid 42-Piece Food Storage Containers with Lids

Leaving my original review for comparison. I originally left 4 stars, changing to 5 now that I've had these a couple of weeks and had a chance to use them, wash them, close and re-open and re-close them. 5 stars. Read my pros and cons with this in mind; I wrote them after checking out the containers when I first got them, BEFORE I used them. Having said that; I would move the lids to the pros side. They may not snap on as easily as the older ones, but they do seal well. They cleanup easily also, Add that to the pros. I tried one in the microwave to see what would happen; they seem to do well, no excessive softening or discoloring like the older ones did. I will still be careful what is in them in the microwave just to be safe. All in all; seems to be the quality I expect from Rubbermaid. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4 Stars. I purchased these to replace the older set that I have. You know; the ones with the pinkish-purple lids. I read the reviews and couldn't find anything extremely negative, so I bought them. The containers I am replacing are over 10 years old and may be as much as 14 years old, so only time will tell if this new set will have the longevity I've come to expect in Rubbermaid products. I won't say that I am unhappy with the purchase, just skeptical of the quality and possible lifespan of these new containers. Here is what I found as pros and cons, others may find other points as well. The pros: First off; the price was great! I always watch for sales and this was a good sale. The vented lid seems like a good idea, the vent seals well. There are a good variety of sizes in this set, including one larger container. The cons: The material on these new ones is not as heavy. The lids do not snap on as easily and don't seem to seal as well. Overall; if they have a lifetime close to the last set I bought, they are an exceptional value for the money. Only time will tell the story. I give them 4 stars because I am skeptical that they will last.

Wonderful set. Very durable and dishwasher safe.

We had a set of these we bought over 15 years ago (with a blue lid). They have been through the worst of times. This set is even better with tight fitting lids. I like to store individual meals and reheat them in oven proof containers. I do freeze a lot of produce (we had a bumper crop of butternut squash) that i precook. I like the fact that they are dishwasher safe and clean up like brand new. They stack perfectly for those of us that are cabinet challenged. If I had room I would order another set!

I really do like these bowls. They're nice and sturdy, the lids snap on tightly, and the snap together feature is a great space saver for holding leftovers. The new design with the air vents in the lids for the larger bowls is a great idea - love it for reheating in the microwave. Now for the things that I don't like (and the reason that I only gave 4 stars to a product that I really like). There are ENTIRELY too many small containers. In my wildest dreams, I cannot fathom why they thought somebody would need so many of such tiny containers. I mean, I'm pretty sure that they were not added for any real reason they thought their customers might need them for. Seems to me that they were solely added just because the smaller containers are cheaper to produce, and putting them in these sets allows them to raise the number of pieces in the sets, (remember, the item count includes each bowl AND each lid), which also makes it sound like a better deal, rather than for any foreseeable use for their customers. Of course, I did know what I was buying, they had pictures and everything, but you cannot buy any of their sets that do not include these. What you get with the smaller sets is less of the larger, usable bowls. And buying the larger bowls alone costs so much that it doesn't make any sense to just buy those. Secondly, the bowls stain with tomato sauce. Storing leftovers in the fridge stains most of the time (though there are exceptions, maybe based on what type of sauce it is). Do not EVER put anything with tomato sauce in the microwave, even with the handy new vent lids. It not only stains, but it almost looks like the sauce has kind of melted itself into the bowl. Nothing else that I've ever reheated does this - only tomato sauce, for some reason. And our family loves things with tomato sauce, so we always have to make sure that we have other brands of containers as well, just to use for tomato sauce. I probably will buy them again, and I will probably be frustrated each time because of these things, but like I said at the beginning, they are nice sturdy bowls with lids that snap on tightly and seal well. Can't have everything, I guess.

I love this brand and I am especially in love with this smoky color. It hides any stains from sauces that you might get. It also just makes it look like a higher quality item. I have gotten lots of compliments on these. They stack together nicely and are the same size as previous ones I have purchased.

Lots of good containers, very durable, easy to clean. Super handy.

Great value for great quality item from Rubbermaid. Love the various sizes. The cute smallest containers are useful to store leftover salad dressings and sauces. Great design that same size lids fit on various size containers. Great design that lids snap and stack together for easy storage and that the lids also snap on the bottom of the containers. Really amazing product. No wonder high 4.7 out of 5 stars with over 10,000 reviews. Just ordered another set so that when kids visit and pack leftovers, they keep the container(s). HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Excellent quality, great for storing, stacks nicely in freezer. I love these containers.

Excelente opción para conservar mis alimentos. En despensa , refrigeración o congelador

I finally got these for a normal price. I checked on Wayfair, and they are asking 80.00 plus $ which is crazy!! Thank you Amazon!

前に青緑色の蓋で本体も薄い青緑のと、濃いグレーで下は透明で薄いラインが入っているのをコストコで買って愛用してきました。前のは十年前後使ってきました。使える状態ですがお裾分けなどで入れ物返ってこず買い足しました。これはアメリカから直送されたようです。前のより商品は高級感無くなったけど、まあ同じ便利さです。以前のものと同サイズですので、お互い蓋は共有できます。ここが一番ありがたかったです。前のセットはものすごく大きいのが入っていたけどこれはそれはなく、使いやすいサイズです。このタイプ、作り続けてほしいなあ。壊れないから滅多に買い替えないけど。

J’ai acheter plusieur plat, par contre c’est les meilleurs que j’ai eu jusqu’à date. Ne tache pas, va au lave vaisselle et micro-ondes. Je recommande fortement!!!

Love them. good size for freezing slices, muffins, small cakes, donuts and other food in. stacks well in the freezer. Have one that is a bite smaller that I have had for years that I use all the time in the freezer. this was the closest that I could find.
