Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've bought several of these containers in a variety of sizes. I use them mainly for dry goods and refrigerator storage. These containers have wonderful lids that snap on easily and form a tight seal and the body is beautifully clear. Unfortunately, the plastic its made of is cracking. I've only had these containers a couple of months and I've found fine cracks forming all along the curved edge where the bottom and sides meet. Over time these cracks get longer and thicker until the plastic gives way altogether. Mind you, despite the rating on these containers, they have never been in the freezer, have rarely been microwaved, and the only dishwasher in this house is me. They haven't been dropped or banged around so I must conclude that the flaw is in the material itself. This is a monumental disappointment from a well reputed company like Rubbermaid. I paid a pretty penny for these and they are not even a durable as the "disposable" containers I've used that have lasted for years. Bad show Rubbermaid.
