Side by Side Comparison of: Rubbermaid

I LOVE these. I bought this one to go with the full set and they are wonderful. The quality is great, I have microwaved, dishwasher-ed and stored spaghetti sauce in them. So far they have not stained, puckered, bubbled or warped. I also have dropped one or two and no cracks or spills have occurred. I really love these Rubbermaid's! Bonus the color is beautiful too!

I added these to my already preexisting set because I like them so much. I like how they always look clean, never the water marks or discoloration that happens with other tupperware sets I have owned. The lid always seals tight and they interlock when being stored. Most things that I put in them rinse out without any scraping or scrubbing, even stuff that seems cooked on comes off easily. I used them daily and have had my last set for 2 years with out any cracks, warping or leaks. The originals all still are holding up great, I just wanted more of them!With this particular 20 piece set, the containers are clear and not with the swirl pattern if that matters to you. Some of the other options from Amazon show the pattern, but this one does not.

I love these.

Summary: I love it. They are durable and work as described.Price: I would say the price of these is reasonable for what you get. The smaller containers won't be getting much use, but based on the quality as explained later in the review, the price is decent.Quality: These are built to last. They are very very hard plastic that is much more durable than I expected. The seal is great and I have had no issues with these.Functionality: My girlfriend and I cook fairly often. She doesn't like left-overs but I don't mind it. Before I got these I had a hard time eating left-overs because wrapping them in foil or plastic seemed wasteful and a big pain. These containers solved all of that. I admit I was hesitant to get these because I hate the discoloration that they all seem to get over time, and when they stain they look constantly dirty which ruins my appetite. I am happy to report that as of 7-8 uses I haven't noticed any stains or discoloration. I usually microwave the food in the containers and they clean up very easy.Design: These looks great on the shelf in our pantry. Typical rubbermaid color: red. They look nice in the fridge as well and keep things organized. I hated having a plate wrapped in foil in the fridge. With these I can stack them neatly and they take up very little space.Overall impression: Worth the money if you want to save left-overs, or store things neatly and nicely. This is my first set of storage containers and I am very happy with the quality and price. The smaller containers probably won't get much use, but they are nice to have around just in case (plus they don't take up much space).

Great containers. I have used them for about a couple of months now and I haven't saw a single stain even after storing left over spaghetti and other red saucy foods that normally stain. The seals are great to help keep foods fresh.

I had this previously and I loved it so much I bought another set. I also bought an additional set that is blue I believe its 30 pieces. I also bought the fruit saver which is wonderful keeps food for a long time. I've taken things from the freezer to the microwave to the table and don't have to use any other containers.

Great containers, true Rubbermaid quality. I especially like the stackability, and the snap-together lids. Seem to hold up supremely in microwave, freezer, and dishwasher.

I love these Premier containers. They don't stain like the regular Rubbermaid containers. However; I have had a couple of the Premier bowls crack, not in this size, but I still will continue to buy them. I just wish I could find the 3 cup bowls at a more reasonable price.

I live the Rubbermaid Premier line. No stains, holds up to freezer and microwave. Easy to store.

These have made it through the dishwasher repeatedly without getting warped or foggy. They are a great size for cooking a big batch of something and saving the leftovers. The fit of the lid is airtight and snug.

These are wonderful for storing large batches in either the freezer or fridge. No leaks, no more visits from the appliance repairman.

We have many different sizes of this set. We like how many of the lids are interchangeable. The kids fit well and will last for years. Only con I can think of is that it can take a minute sometimes to get out food stuck in the lid.

These bowls are a very hard plastic that does not stain or discolor at all from use and won't melt in the microwave even when heating greasy items. However, I have experienced problems when attempting to freeze items using the bowls. Because they are already a very hard plastic they can become brittle when freezing and are then prone to cracking.

These are my favorite storage containers by far. They have a dual plastic cover, so you can see inside, but still get a good seal. The base is a hard plastic. The downside is that it can break if dropped, but the upside is that it is very stain resistant, unlike previous Rubbermaid containers, and very clear and easy to see through. Overall, I think this is a big improvement, especially since it eliminates the plasticizers used in many containers.

These are very nice and I like them a lot. I got them in the mail very fast, about two days. The colors are nice and they seal great, reducing spills. I have been using them for about three months now and I have dropped them several times and they have not cracked. I also put them in my dish washer and they come out great. I also notice that food does not stain them. Compared to other containers, I have used in the past these are the best. I give for stars and not five because the lids have a groove in them that make it difficult to dry completely. This is awful. You have to really get into that groove with a towel to dry them . Other than that these are great

My favorite food storage line. Solid build, no microwave burning, stacks well. My only issue is that there's probably more crevices and grooves than needed, so cleaning and drying can be a little more work. This size is probably a bit pricier than I'd prefer, but it's a unique color and sold as a single set. I really dislike the red lids that are usually on sale, silly I know but I'm like a bull with red lol.

Bought these to replace glass ones from Costco that have the rubber seal around the edge. That seal gets moldy over time even with replacing so we wanted to go a different direct. Found these but was slightly skeptical as they are not glass. But after using them for a while now I can safely say these work just as well as glass and don't weight as much. The plastic doesn't retain any odor or color and they snap into each other for easy storage (we live in a small apartment so this is really important to us). The only con we have found, as other reviewers state, is that after washing them and letting them sit to dry, water gets trapped in the lids no matter which way you have it drying. Not a huge deal but you just have to shake it out before you put it away.

I love the product and since I wanted to be different, I wanted the Purple. I saw The Premier briefly in Red at a large local retailer and then it disappeared. I did not know who made it or the name of the product, so I was surprised to stumble upon it. The product is supposed to be stain resistant, etc. but they must mean everything except the lid because after one use, storing Spaghetti and Sauce, the purple part of the lid underneath, is stained red, so they don't get a 5. I like the clarity and design on the bottom and hope the durability holds up. The lids stacks easy but does dip down quite a bit which seems to take up some of the storage area. So go large! You can find the Red Premier sets and separate pieces around. They seem to be discontinuing the Purple. The Premier product line is superior to their other regular Flex Seal product found retail but Rubbermaid's, marketing (or lack of marketing of this line) amazes me!I returned their regular (unused) Red Flex and Seal to the place of purchase. I have called Rubbermaid on several occasions trying to find reasonably priced, additional Purple 9 and 14 cup pieces and their customer service department, is totally useless. They don't know what they are doing. I have found the product at other large local retailers in Red and Purple, that Rubbermaid does not even know carry it.

good to great

not completely airtight, but they are made of high quality and appealing to the eyes

So far it holds alot

I needed some larger sizes and these fit the bill. Because these are made from a hard plastic they can crack easier than the traditional containers.They are great for large amounts of food like soup or cut up fruit but I find that it's more efficient to use two smaller containers in that once you're halfway through the food, you still have a large container of food taking up more space than is necessary.

Very nice set of storage containers, bought for my mother as a gift. She happy with them

Not satisfied. Plastic and They leak. Not for liquids. I have the glass ones and they work greatKaren from Kansas

Did not receive the "Premier" set as pictured and described. Not a real big deal, but I only got this to match my existing items.

Decent. Don't really have a use for half of the containers. Who needs 3 or 4 teeny tiny containers and only one leftover size container? Kind of a rip off.

Looked to be good quality but I definitely didnt believe them to be worth tge price. I bought them for tgeir color as my kitch is purple and zebra however I returned them without using since I felt they were not worth the money.

I bought these so that I could batch cook and store for work lunches. Basically, they're ok.1. The purple lids are weird. They stain with tomato sauce, which one would think would not be a 'feature' of this particular set. Also, the lids don't fit nicely under the containers (say, if you microwaved them and tried to put the lid under the bowl part to walk back to your desk).2. The plastic in the lids will mar if you use them in the microwave (just a normal wattage microwave, for 2.5 minutes). They get bubbles in the plastic.3. They get really hot in the microwave.4. I think that the size selection is odd. I've had these for about a month, and I've used all the small ones numerous times. I have used the larger ones maybe once.5. The shape of the whole set (the lips on the bottoms) means that if you are going to run them through the dishwasher, they'll hold water, so they never really dry.

The colors are bizarre. The box shows a lovely purple lid on a handsome purple bowl. Inside, however, you will find lovely purple bowls with blue lids. These are not even periwinkle...the lids are RUBBERMAID BLUE. Is this a mis-packaged item? Other reviews state the same issue, so it must be the intended package.Otherwise, the product design is fine and works as advertised. The lids nest conveniently.UPDATE: I went to a grocery store and saw these bowls for sale. That store sold bowls with PURPLE lids. These lids are BLUE. This product should be labeled as FACTORY SECONDS.UPDATE #2: I changed the rating to 3-stars. They product really works well. The color doesn't make sense.

They aren't completely transparent. ..

The containers are great and I love how they are clear. Stack beautifully.After using for food storage and washing in the dish washer they are still clear. One did develope a crack ( kid could have dropped it but not sure. We don't use in microwave so hoping it was just a fluke and the rest won't crack)

Covers do not always fit snug and one of the bottoms cracked!

Atypical Rubbermaid containers. I thought these were supposed to be better than the average Rubbermaid containers, but alas, not the case. Dropped one on the floor and it broke. Not good.

lids take some playing around with to fit

Both sets are incomplete

I'm extremely disappointed, one of the medium bowls has a crack at the bottom after the first time that I used in the freezer

Chicken S***! Six (666) piece set INCLUDES 3 containers AND 3 lids!? Nice product but very very deceptive description. Buyer BeWare if ever there was an instance!

So, if you use it for storage only, they are great. They are NOT microwave safe. I contacted consumer support and they said you can only microwave for 30 seconds. So, it also says they are dishwasher safe on the upper rack - I wonder if you can only do that for 30 seconds also! FALSE ADVERTISING. Not that microwaving plastic is a good idea, but don't say it's ok to do if it is not. I have 68 pieces of Rubbermaid that have been microwaved and are bubbled and peeling.

I have the full set of these. LOVED them,,, but they have started cracking. I checked the Rubbermaid site. There are several reviews saying the same thing. I don't put them in the dishwasher.

The advertising said more than one, and I only received one. Misleading advertisement

Severely disappointed in this product. Purchased in Oct 2015, in less than 6 months containers began to crack down the corners from mouth to base. Shatter proof? Well, it doesn't shatter, but they certainly fracture and crack and become pretty much useless as food storage. More than half of the containers have cracked as of this writing. Buyer beware.

It melted in the microwave the first time I used it!

i was short of some of the bottles and the additions and mixing of the sizes were all messed up
