Quality and Material

Pros:

  • "Good quality. they are pretty heavy but to be expected as they are glass."
  • "These glass containers are fine and boy do those lids lock and seal."
  • "The glass containers have proven to be remarkably sturdy, and their crystal-clear design remains unchanged even after months of regular usage."
  • "They are quite durable (very thick glass) and look a lot classier than the cheap, plastic containers."
  • "These are high quality, glass, with solid plastic lids. Leak proof."
  • "The glass containers are thick and sturdy, like the old Pyrex containers."
  • "These are exactly what they appear to be - snap on lids over quality glass bowls of various size for food storage."

Cons:

  • "As I was unpacking I noticed two pieces had broken very sharp edges."
  • "The glass itself is of inferior quality. The edges chipped way too easily; basically breaking in the cupboard."
  • "These are low quality glass containers that are not durable."
  • "The glass was a little thinner and felt more fragile than pyrex."
  • "I got them in February and almost half of them now have small glass flakes that have come off of the rims."
  • "Literal garbage. I've twice now had glass shards in my containers."
  • "I would go so far as to saying these are just inherently and utterly unsafe to use."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

  • "Lids lock on perfectly."
  • "These by far are my favorite food storage containers."
  • "They are AMAZING!! Very insulating, if you need to use them for lunches."
  • "They seal very quickly and easily and don't leak at all!"
  • "They serve the purpose for us for leftovers and holding the veggies."
  • "They are wonderful for soups, sauces, veggies, anything."
  • "They work better than the Pyrex set I've been using for years!"

Cons:

  • "Lids seal, but if you get food on/under the gasket, the gasket has to be removed to be cleaned."
  • "They are very hard to close, and I've found that the pressure of doing so has caused to glass lip to break in places."
  • "The lids on the ones I received all fit perfectly and snap snuggly into place, even after running them through the dishwasher a few times."
  • "The edges chip off when I stack them."
  • "The lids lock 100% airtight and don't absorb color/flavor."
  • "These lids will not stay locked on."
  • "Also the lids were difficult to put on and takeoff with the snap enclosures."

Safety and Durability

Pros:

  • "They were packaged very well and are worth the price."
  • "Comes nicely packed, no chance of breaking in transit."
  • "The whole thing is microwave safe, and the glass vase can also be put in the oven."
  • "Since the bowls are made of borosilicate glass (aka, Pyrex), we can reheat food in the bowls in either a microwave or an oven (sans lid, of course)."
  • "They’ve held up to freezing, baking, and red sauces without cracks or stains!"
  • "I switched out all of my plastic Tupperware for glass and have had these for over a year. They have held up great!"
  • "They are perfect when you have hot leftovers that you want to store."
