Product Reviews

Good-quality, versatile, and BPA-free
I was disappointed that the product description doesn't list the sizes & quantities included in this set. I actually had to find it in a retail store, in order to verify that it had enough 2 cup containers. So, the primary reason I'm writing this review is to save others the trouble of doing the same. This set includes the following containers (and matching lids):
4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)
4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)
3 x 5 cup (1200 mL)
2 x 7 cup (1700 mL)


The construction and materials easily matched my expectations, based on other Rubbermaid products I own. The design is clever - lids snap together to stack easily & securely, and they also snap to the bottoms of the containers. These are dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and freezer-safe. Also, these are clearer than my other Rubbermaid food storage containers, which is quite nice.

Finally, Rubbermaid lists this series as BPA-free. I was surprised to see how many of my old Rubbermaid containers are, as well! For more info, see:

I bought these to replace some containers that are probably not BPA-free (i.e. most plastic food & beverage containers), and I encourage everyone to do the same - especially if you have children. Recycle or find non-food uses for your non-verifiably safe containers.


Addendum: the only issue I've so far found is a fairly minor one - that it can be a bit tricky to get the lid to snap securely to the bottom of a container. This is useful for stacking non-empty containers and for keeping the lids from ending up at the bottom of my dishwasher. The problem is that while it's easy to snap 3 sides, the 4th can be a bit tough. The technique I've adopted is to slightly twist back & forth, while attaching.

No more lost lids!
I received this set a couple days ago and finally put it away. I was pleased to see so many different sizes. Some of the containers are the same shape but the depths are different.

I knew that the lids snapped together for better storage but to my delight the lids also snap to the bottom of the container! No more trying to find the right lid for the right container. I cleaned out the cabinets thinking I would need a lot of room for the storage but they don't take up much space at all if they are stacked together.

Rubbermaid has always made a very good product and I look forward to using these for a very long time.

This is a five star product. I love the variety of sizes/capacity of this set. BUT...the best feature are the snap together lids. They snap and stack for easy storage. I would recommend this product to any looking for great kitchen/fridge storage.
