I bought these during the height of the pandemic because we could not go out to shop. I bought them sight unseen. They are some of the best containers I have ever purchased. They are great for cut veggies and for storing leftovers. You can reheat the food in the microwave, and they are dishwasher safe too.
This set is still great shape almost 4 years after I purchased them. They have not cracked or split or melted.
I use them every week and would highly recommend them if you are looking for durable kitchen ware.
The price hasn’t changed much either. Very economical. Would make a good gift for new couples starting out.

This set contains only the two sizes I use most. It’s not loaded up with tiny containers that we rarely use. Great value. Solid quality. Easy to store, stack, and open.

We really love these for food storage. They a thick, seals great, they stack up for storage and in the fridge. I hand wash all of them so these have lasted a long time without issues of warping or the lids not fitting right. Like most storage containers they do get stained from red sauces, bleaching works to lower the degree of staining but no impact on quality or use. After the first set we bought we have bought several more. Unlike many products the ones we bought years ago still work interchangeable with one we bought recently. Would highly recommend!

I bought the rubbermaid system, to try and save space in my limited cabinet kitchen. My old Tupperware was a little warped by years of usage, and it is too expensive to replace now. I really like how these stack in my cabinet. The vent on top is an added bonus, for reheating leftovers too.

Durable. Love the tab to reduce pressure and allow easy opening. Great to put in top of dishwasher, but we do wash by hand sometimes. Love how they easily stack in drawer or refrigerator. I bought a dozen 3-cup size. Some are already gone…. Kids took Thanksgiving leftovers. Guess they like them, too!

Update July 2023
I bought another set. Like anything else, they don’t last forever, but it’s not far from it. I still have a few left in my scrub stack from my first purchase. The impressive part is that over the course of about a dozen years, the lids and containers from all generations fit each other. This is very unusual in the containers market since molds and materials can change over time, yielding different results.
The only thing that has changed over time is now there is a flippable steam vent that didn’t exist in the first few iterations. The steam vent has some benefit, though I haven’t even thought about getting rid of those lids that don’t. Pop the corner and microwave away. The place I found this steam vent to be most handy is when packing hot food. The remaining air inside the tub doesn’t heat up and pop the lid. Just vent the cap and put it in the fridge if you don’t have time to let it cool first.
So far I’ve lost a few containers, but it’s been due to my abuse of them, not due to any defect or wearing out. One got too close to the stove, I’ve left a few with friends or at my kids’ house and I reheated some oily food in the microwave. 350F oil and plastic don’t do well together.
Even in the last case, it didn’t really destroy the container so much as it made it very unsightly and kind of crazes the finish, and there’s just a point where it has to go because you have better ones and you need the space. I now keep three stacks of containers, however. One stack is for everyday life, which is worn and not looking great. The second stack is my stack for breaking in and back up to the first stack when needed like on holidays. The third stack is when I have to take something to a function or take dinner to a sick friend.
Watch the prices of these things as it fluctuates wildly. The set I just got was for $19 on Prime Day, which is less than half of what it is now, a week later.
******************************
I’ve bought these Rubbermaid containers now for about 10 years and they provide excellent service and just don’t wear out easily. They are what Tupperware used to be 25 years ago. All the lids fit tightly and I haven’t had a single one of the vents snap off, which was an initial concern of mine.
The great part is that over the course of a decade, the product remains consistent from batch to batch and year to year, meaning that old lids fit with new containers and vice versa. I think they are the only containers I’ve bought that have retained this much compatibility with earlier versions.
Nothing lasts forever and I don’t expect these to either, but I have had a few that I’ve had to toss. There are essentially two problems that have caused their demise:
1] Frozen with food and being dropped coming out of the freezer due to being brittle. I’ve never had a lid crack, but the clear body has cracked a couple of times. But in all cases, they’ve still been usable for a while and they’ve never split open and cost me my food. I can’t blame the device. It’s my clumsiness and nothing is unbreakable.
2] Over time the containers can become a bit glazed looking and stain up, particularly when storing food with high acid or the food was extremely hot. Red tomato sauces and yellow turmeric colors in curry are the worst stainers, though even this coloring still eventually comes out. When storing these foods, I’ve learned to spray the container first with Pam cooking spray and that helps a lot.
Despite the loss of a few containers, these will stay my food storage containers of choice and I will stay a Rubbermaid customer.

These are the perfect size for leftovers for my son to take to work. The lids fit nicely and he loves that it has a steam escape function. They are of good quality and value for the money. They’re easy to clean by hand or to throw in the dishwasher as well.
