Five Star Reviews: | 53% This is my second time ordering these. October 14, 2016 This is my second time ordering these. My husband takes his lunch everyday and we had a hard time finding anything that would not leak in his briefcase. These are better than my expensive plastic ware and they are lighter than most options. Yes, they will chip after a while, but I freeze mine and put them in the dishwasher. If you hand wash them they will probably last longer. I get about 6 months use out of them and that is using them everyday. They stack well and do not leak. Awesome! September 28, 2016 These are great and I am so glad I bought them! They are easy to store! I stack the lids, and then the containers on top of those; they do not take up hardly any space! Also, they are dishwasher AND microwave safe! Our society is really into meal prepping and eating healthy, therefore, if you're interested in that life, these are a great way to help you get started. If you just need something to bring your lunch in that you can reheat in the microwave, these are awesome! Great box set July 30, 2016 Great box sex and microwavable. None of them have broken yet. So far, so good. Exactly what I wanted! June 30, 2016 These are exactly what I was looking for. Durable, dishwasher and microwave safe, with a clear plastic lid to see what I've got as a meal makes these a perfect buy. Perfect for left overs, if you're meal prepping, or just using as general food storage. And the price just can't be beat! A definite MUST BUY!!They also come in 2 or 3 compartment style lunch box sets as well. (My next purchase)Bento Lunch Box Set - Meal Prep Food Storage - Restaurant Containers - Plastic Foodsaver (8pk, 34oz)HomeNative Meal Prep Containers Set Pack of 7 Perfect. May 26, 2016 Ordering my second set of these meal prep containers. If you love one open container, this is the product for you. Personally, i like these open containers over the split containers because i can fit more food and a larger variety. These give you the perfect amount of space for a well balanced meal (usually an 8oz pc of chicken, veggies and rice/baked potato). These are microwave and dishwasher safe and not flimsy like the kind you get from chinese delivery. At $6.99 for 9, you can't beat this deal. Just ordered my second batch. I highly recommend these for anyone trying to work on meal prepping and portioning meals. Perfect! Good product, good price. February 22, 2016 My first purchase of food storage/reheating containers, and I'm very happy. Lots of room for nice, big portions and evenly reheats food. Freezes well so far, I haven't had any problems with cracking. I will most certainly be purchasing again in the future.Edit: It has been a year since my first purchase, and I've had a total of two lids crack with regular use. Both were stored in the freezer and well frozen when they cracked. Overall, I am still very satisfied with my original purchase of the 38oz 9pk containers for $9.99, and I will be purchasing the current 28oz 24pk for $12.99. I highly recommend this brand, but be gentle with frozen containers. It's best to let them thaw or microwave them straight out of the freezer, without trying to open beforehand. | 49% Great bowls! May 10, 2017 These are a great addition to your kitchen collection of food containers. Clean well and lids fit snuggly. Sizes were perfect. Love it. Thank you August 19, 2016 For my daughter in law because she loose all of her bowls giving dinner to friends and now she is jealous with this. Love it. Thank you. Compact and healthy January 1, 2015 Nice storage BPA free. Got rid of my old Tupperware and others and consolidated. I like that they stack to compact size. Great Quality, great for college students September 18, 2014 Great product! Bought this for college and is super handy for stashy food from the dining hall, especially when heating up for leftovers! I was curious to see how it would handle staining so I heated up some Indian food and after washing, the bowls are still flawless despite the deep red curries! Feels quality and the microwave doesn't seem to phase them one bit. The little bowls that coulld do everything the big bowls could do,,but on a smaller scale July 28, 2014 They were smaller than expected, however, I bought them for my brothers new apt. and he loved them. They were great for just one or two people. You would have thought that I had bought him a set stainless steel. He's 15yrs. Younger than I am so I have raised him all his life. |

Four Star Reviews: | 14% I'm pleased July 28, 2017 They look great and hold up well for now. I just got mine in yesterday, so only time can tell how long their lifetime will be. For now, no complaints. Good product, even better price March 22, 2017 Love my meal prep containers. They are simple and very functional for the price you pay. I read this product for stars because the plastic that the containers are made with was a little more thin than I expected and one of the containers had a small split in its side after hand washing the first time. Other than that I am very pleased with the product. Decent for the price. January 12, 2017 These are nice. They're what you get from a restaurant when you order thai food or maybe a pasta. They're thin. Produced cheaply. Serve their purpose and you get a TON for a decent price. They microwave and hold their shape (though I wouldn't suggest microwaving for long amounts of time...) though they do get a little hot due to how thin they are. You could look at the picture and make that observation right away. I use these for my weekly meal prep and to count my macros and they hold up nicely. However, treat them with care. They are still cheaply made. One fall to the floor at the wrong angle could cost you a box. I dropped one from 4 feet up on hard tile and a corner chipped off leaving me to throw it away. If you're prepared for the thin boxes, I say go for it. It comes with so many it doesn't hurt to lose one or two and they should last you a good while. They also don't take on the smell of the foods after you wash them. I'd guess when that happens, their durability has worn off anyway. Good for those on a budget and need something quick! I'd recommend them for meal prep. Take up minimal storage in the fridge too. No more lost Tupperware and Rubbermaid November 30, 2016 I got tired of losing my Tupperware and Rubbermaid containers when I sent leftovers home with guests (my children!) who neglected to return them. Rather than pestering them for the return, I thought these containers might be a good solution. Got them just in time for Thanksgiving and was very pleased with them. They give a good "snap" when they seal and they hold a good amount of food. I will continue to purchase these to send home with leftovers. And the price is very reasonable. So far these are a bargain! June 23, 2016 The seal is so tight that it feels as if I may crack the lid when attempting to remove it from the base. I have run a couple of the bases through the dishwasher on the top rack and they handled that with no problem. I don't plan to use them in the microwave as I will reserve that for my Pyrex glass containers. These do have a few advantages over the glass containers. They are so much lighter to tote in my lunch bag and have been wonderful for salads, are much easier to store, and stack well in the fridge when I actually do a little bit of prep in advance. I got these at a very good price ($5.99 for 9 lids and bottoms). If these hold up for a few months, I will be very satisfied and will change my review to five stars. i can grab and go my lunch and snacks to office so easy. I do a warming up in this container December 13, 2015 I got another set stack-able lunch boxes and they are very handy. Now i have two compartments and single one boxes. i can grab and go my lunch and snacks to office so easy. I do a warming up in this container , they are microwave safe but i dont heat food in it longer to be on safer side. I just transfer those food items to a disposable plate to heat them longer in microwave. Good news is that no need to worry about cleaning them up immediately, I can wash all of them together in dish washer and that saves lot of hand cleaning . They are top shelf washer safe but i wash then in both shelf and seems pretty good. | 17% Containers seem a bit small but work well July 12, 2016 The containers have done well to store all my lunches for the week, but as others have mentioned they are a bit smaller than expected. However they work well and if one container fills up too much then I just go on to the next one and it usually does the job. Nice set of storage containers August 28, 2015 Nice set of storage containers. FY don't place lid in microwave (it may have said this but I don't know) it ruined one of mine. Otherwise worth the price I paid. Containers are good, cute August 21, 2015 I bought this in IKEA long back. Wanted one more pair. Its twice the amount here in amazon. Containers are good, cute, microwave, fridge and wishwasher safe. But after 3-4 months it becomes black for some dishes. Overall its good the the price. I like these bowls. July 21, 2015 I really like these bowls. I don't mind not being able to see what is inside. I don't have that many leftovers. You have to be really sure that you properly seal these to prevent a leak. But I really like them. They wash well and do not seem to retain any odors from foods. Solid, good seal February 20, 2014 This is my second set of these containers. I got the first at Ikea and really loved them. I added the second to have more, and wanted the lids to all work together (nothing worse than losing either a bowl or a lid and having to toss the other). The sizes are perfect and it's nice to have the one larger bowl. They are not clear, so you can't see what's in them at a glance, but they look very attractive. They've stood up in the microwave and dishwasher. Definitely recommend. |

Three Star Reviews: | 11% good if you aren't hard on containers you use June 12, 2017 Containers are very brittle broke a few just washing them, dropped one and it completely shattered, good if you aren't hard on containers you use. A little flimsy February 28, 2017 I'm going to continue to use these containers because they still get the job done, but they are not the best. I even had a cracked lid when I opened the packaging. But you get 24 of them and I'm not a big complainer. Just don't expect rubber maid quality plastic. This bends easily and the lids crack easy. I gave three stars because they serve their purpose and there are plenty of them. Not the best but good enough November 15, 2016 These are not very sturdy trays. I purchased them for food prepping and to stack them in the fridge so we can pull them out as the week goes on. When they are full it is a good idea to use too hands to lift them if you lift from one side (with lid off) you might lose your food. I have had them for a month or so now and they have been in the dishwasher many times and are holding up well. WARNING: when the lids get cold they are very brittle, remove very very carefully. I have cracked 3 lids already and they are now in the trash, so I am three lids shy of a set. Cheap plastic, lids break easily October 3, 2016 Cheaply made, and are NOT the same you get with your Chinese takeout! At least not in my neck of the woods. I actually bought these to paint with.....instead of using a palette I use these containers so I can mix a lot of the same acrylic paint with a gloss medium, or even with mixing multiple colors. This gives me the ability to save the unused paint by putting a lid on it, and the next day I can pop the lid off and pick up where I left off. The problem I have with these containers is that they are not as flexible as what I have used in the past. The bowl itself is ok, but the issue is with the lids. They tend to crack along the edges when you put on or take off the lid. It's like the plastic is harder and not as flexible, which causes it to crack. They may be good for a couple uses but after that, once the lid breaks, they're going straight in the trash. but they definitely are not like a heavy duty Tupperware or rubber maid June 6, 2016 I purchased these containers to use for my lunch box for work, they are 3 months old now, I'm now down to 3. The lids have all cracked.. needless to say, I work 5 days a week, and take 2 of these everyday for lunch, and also ran through the dishwasher couple time per week, and microwaved everyday. I definitely put some miles on these, but they definitely are not like a heavy duty Tupperware or rubber maid... I'm still satisfied with my purchase, just wanted to share my experience with these containers. Will shatter easily when frozen January 7, 2016 I don't hate them, but had hoped when I bought these and the round ones that could use them in the freezer. They shatter easily, not good for freezer. The seal is tight for soups for my leftovers in fridge, but would like to then put in freezer. Also, two of the lids were cracked at edge when I unwrapped them after receiving. So two unusable. | 14% I will use the bowls and love that they nest January 31, 2017 I should have paid more attention to the description. I will use the bowls and love that they nest, but the sizes are smaller than I wished for. It is good but... March 6, 2016 It is good, and I like it but when I put it in the microwave the cover isn't able to stay on anymore Ok set of bowls August 18, 2015 I like the variety of sizes that comes with this set. I use the smaller ones for my children's school lunches. They work great for dry foods but I'd be hesitant to send liquid foods to school in them. |

Two Star Reviews: | 10% Quality disappoints October 19, 2017 Disappointed with the quality. I regularly food prep our meals so I need a dependable, dishwasher friendly product. These are the perfect size for our meals. However, within the first week 3 lids have cracked and 2 of the containers have been damaged in the microwave...I only reheat the food usually 1.5 min and I haven’t had this happen with other brand containers. I wash these on the top rack of the dishwasher only because they would definely melt on the bottom because they are so thin. I have a personal trainer business and do not reorder these nor will I recommend this to my clients. Good for a short time August 10, 2017 I started meal prepping as part of my diet and bought these with the intention of reusing them. One of them came cracked which sometimes happens and it's not really a big deal for me. The thing that bothered me was the fact that after I used a couple of them, I hand washed them and would leave them to dry and on the next time i'd try and put the lid on a tiny crack would form.If you want something that's only for one or two uses these are great, but I'll have to buy something else that's a little more durable The product is not sturdy and I cannot recommend these for meal prep August 17, 2016 I am not a fan of these at all. The product is not sturdy and I cannot recommend these for meal prep. The covers do not come off easily at all and the corner of 2 of these have already broken off. The material is very cheap feeling. I meal prep at least once a week and need something is not going to break after using them once just because the cover will not come off. Very disappointed. | 9% they on May 10, 2017 Smaller than I expectStudy, easy to cleanAnd easy to stainHard to get tough stains outSecure tops Two Stars December 31, 2015 Small size and made of an inflexible hard material. Would not purchase again. Definitely not what I was expecting. Much smaller and ... August 2, 2015 Definitely not what I was expecting. Much smaller and not transparent at all. I can probably just use them for taking stuff for lunch or storing small amounts of food. Still just ok thou. |

One Star Reviews: | 12% BUY SOMETHING ELSE. These are the cheapest possible take-out containers of their kind. September 5, 2017 Do not buy these, they are a rip off. I have gotten take-out containers at restaurants that were much higher quality. These are very thin and flimsy, and cost <=$0.05 each FOB from China. You can buy containers from brands like Ziploc and Rubbermaid for the same price.It's somewhat tricky to see without zooming in and looking closely, but you can read "Thank You" embossed on the lids. The seller has attempted to make it inconspicuous but you can see for yourself.These and similar "meal prep containers" are just take-out containers for restaurants marked up 20+ times to separate you from your money for an inferior quality product. I can't speak to some of the other brands being sold here on Amazon, but this particular item has got to be the thinnest plastic / lowest grade available.Had to burn $8 to return these, don't make my mistake. ... the past and the products they supply have been great. The 38oz containers i ordered in the past ... August 21, 2017 I have purchased from home native in the past and the products they supply have been great. The 38oz containers i ordered in the past were great.The lids and containers were a heavier plastic and did well in the microwave, hand washing and the dishwasher. These 28oz I ordered recently are complete garbage. The containers are extremely thin and many have cracked while hand washing them. They are nothing more than cheap flimsy take out containers.Bring back the old product that was thicker and i would be happy to purchase again. Horrible Product July 17, 2017 Horrible, cheap, flimsy product. The bottoms crack while hand washing or using a fork. Lids don't seal. They leak all over the place. I bought these because my usual brand was out of stock and the reviews on these were great. But, mine are awful. Am returning all of the, oblong and round ones. Don't waste your money. Flimsy "to go" containers....save your money!!! June 14, 2017 These are flimsy "To Go" containers....not sturdy for meal prep to be used over and over again. The material is thin and if dropped you WILL definitley crack the container and/or lid. I purchased 2 sets, now I wish I would have just opted for a nicer set of tupperware or something. These containers are like getting food at your local chinese restaurant and re-using the container for meal prep...not durable at all. And I didn't really think about the silverwear aspect when purchasing, again I wish I would have opted for something else, b/c they're literally made for food service...and what a waste to our environment (sigh). I wish I would have looked in to these more....I do NOT recommend these to anyone! The lids even say "Thank You" on them....so clearly meant for restaurant to-go orders. If you're only using them in that manner (to go orders) then these are perfect....otherwise, save your money. Cheap, disposable containers. April 14, 2017 This is the same quality container you get for free with a takeout meal. I had one break on the first use. These are basically disposable containers. I would not recommend these for meal prepping. | 11% Exra small bowls October 15, 2017 They were the tiniest bowls I have ever seen. I returned them in a heart beat. False Ad: Not Mircowave Safe August 11, 2015 Disappointed because the lids are not microwave safe as the ad claims. It says so right on the product. My lids are already warped after two uses. One Star July 25, 2015 Covers does not fit the box after i used them for 15-20 days...i wont suggest these |
