Pros:

• "Fits in my cabinet all together, takes up less room."

Sealing and Leakproof

Pros:

• "These are super easy to snap the kids into place."

• "These are the best containers I've bought! They are leak proof and very strong."
• "Love these containers. Easy to clean and they don’t stain."
• "Completely spill proof!"

Cons:

• "I like these and I like the color coding to go with each one but they're hard to snapshot Says sometimes you don't know whether they're completely sealed That's the only negative!!"
• "The lids don’t seat easily on the containers and you have to line them up carefully and apply pressure while snapping the lids on."
• "These were nice due to the color coding and space saving. However, eventually the lids would no longer close."
• "These lids don’t seal properly. I have tried multiple from this brand and none worked."
• "I thought these would be really practical but they aren’t leak proof. We put strawberries in them and they had a little liquid and they leaked in my daughters back pack."
• "Unfortunately, when using to store food in them, they are really difficult to close completely, and Leak."
• "Look great, don't seal well, leak."

• "The first time we put the largest container in the dishwasher it distorted a lot such that the lid will not fit."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Love the colored nesting."

Cons:

• "I paid too much money for this to happen. I couldn’t send them back so they had to be trashed. Will never buy again."
• "I was initially delighted to find storage containers that nested like these... Would not purchase these again."
• "Lids don't close, therefore they seal nothing."
• "The little rectangular nubs in the middle of the lids are the all the same size, so they still click together when one or more of the others are in use."
• "In order to make the lids stackable, each lid has a deep rectangle intrusion into each respective container that presses on food as you try to lock the lid."
• "The sunk in area on the tops which holds the lids together in storage holds water when dishwashed."

• "I love this product because the lids latch to earth other so you don’t need to look high and low for a lid."
• "They are rectangular (which fit much better then round containers); we’re very reasonably priced."
• "It holds enough for a sizable meal, and it seems sturdy enough to hold up to drops or falls."

Cons:

• "What I didn't count on was what a hassle it would be. To use one I have to take apart the stack and then painstakingly put it back together."
• "Since they aren't interchangeable, I have to shuffle them all around getting correct lid with base!"
