Quality of Materials

Pros:

  • "The containers are made of high-quality glass and have a sleek, modern design."
  • "The glass is thick and sturdy, very easy to clean."
  • "They are made well and very durable."
  • "The glass containers are thick, heavy glass and well made."
  • "They are heavy, thick glass which makes them feel beefy and not prone to breaking easily."
  • "The glass quality is solid."
  • "The glass is sturdy and smooth and I love the lip around the edges that makes them easier to handle since I have problems with my hands."

Cons:

  • "These containers chipped very easily when stacked together."
  • "After using these for a month it seems they leak."
  • "The only thing we have left of this set is the lids, because all of the actual bowls broke or cracked so easily from normal use!!"
  • "Despite careful handling and following the recommended guidelines, several containers chipped and cracked after just a few uses."
  • "We have lost about 1/4 of the set in the first 3 months due to chips that are sharp enough to cut."
  • "The glass on a lot of them has chipped off in the corners around the lip."
  • "Unfortunately, two of our glass dishes have chipped for no known reason."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

  • "The biggest and most notable thing is the airtight lids."
  • "They seal like a champ."
  • "The lids lock on great."
  • "Rubber liner provides a tight seal."
  • "The lids are very well-constructed with no leaks and an airtight seal."
  • "The lids fit great and cleanup is easy."
  • "The lids are phenomenal - they lock down beautifully, so there's never concern about leakage."

Cons:

  • "The hinges also move and rattle like a cheap children's toy, and their design makes them difficult to properly clean."
  • "It's also very easy to inadvertently unclip the lids due to their design."
  • "The hinge mechanism weakened, causing them to become loose and fail to secure the containers properly."
  • "The seal is so good it can be difficult to open."
  • "The only downside is they're not stackable."
  • "The lids' rubber seals, which tended to wear out quickly."
  • "The biggest problems are in the cheap lids and their locking mechanism along with the fact that these are NOT STACKABLE."

Practicality and Versatility

Pros:

  • "A wide range of sizes is perfect for someone like me who lives alone and makes larger portions to store for reheating and leftovers."
  • "The fact that they are microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe is a major plus."
  • "They are also very versatile - I use them for storing leftovers, packing lunches, and even baking."
  • "The larger containers in this pack are a fantastic size for meal prepping."
  • "They are leak proof, don’t stain, super thick durable glass."
  • "The variety of sizes allows me to store everything from small snacks to large casseroles."
  • "They come in different sizes and shapes, so you can fit them in any fridge or freezer."

Cons:

  • "The smaller ones in this set are not spacious enough to hold a complete meal."
  • "Do not buy. All pieces are basically same size - and none are large enough for leftovers."
  • "Only downside is that most of the containers are on the smaller side."
  • "These are small. Usually there’s a couple of large containers. A few medium and a few small ones. These are just mediums, smalls and smaller."
  • "I just wish some containers were bigger i don’t really need the 2 little containers it comes with in every shape."
  • "Most of the sizes are not the most practical for meal prep."
  • "Be aware, that these containers are relatively small and are not suitable for large portion leftovers."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "During my interaction with FineDine's customer support, I found them to be responsive and helpful."
  • "One of my containers was missing a seal ring and I contacted the company about the problem. They told me not to worry that they would correct the problem and sure enough the error was correctly promptly!"
  • "They definitely stand behind their product/warranty not to mention they also have amazing customer service that go over and beyond to ensure the customer is happy."
  • "There's not much I can add that hasn't already been said about these wonderful storage containers. But I would like to add a note about their customer service."

Cons:

  • "Wish I could return them but it's way too late. Tried to use the customer support website but it asked for a password before I could do anything (???)."
  • "Seems pretty quality glass, one of the container lids came cracked and not airtight. Not a huge deal, contacted customer support to try to just get a lid instead of sending the whole thing back, got a response asking for shipping address, then radio silence."
