Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got 2 packages on 1/5/16 (so 30 in total). I have only opened 1, as I haven't needed to open the other just yet (I should be doing that when I make dinner tonight). 1/6/2017 First package (straight from the wrapper): + Storage space (lids and bases stack really well together, and I can fit a ton in my cabinets) + Assembled space (lots of room to put way more than you should eat in there at one sitting ;p ) + Reasonably priced + Fits pretty snugly together in the fridge, seems to be very close to my rack heights inside - It did come with 2 cracked lids (a small section of the plastic in the same spot was missing and chipped at a corner) - A third lid had a line along the long side that snapped off when assembling it the first time EDIT UPDATE 1/13/2017: Second package (straight from the wrapper): + No lids broken! Whoohoo! - Bottom base was cracked badly (not a huge deal breaker, as I have 3 lids that are broken from pack 1 1/6/2017 After stuffing onto the top rack of my dishwasher (non-cracked items): Everything came out great: no new broken pieces and no melted/warped spots. EDIT UPDATE 1/13/2017: Second batch washed fine with no problems. After placing newly dirtied bases from eating over a few days (10 in total), 2 almost melted through, the other five were fine though. (this is from the original first batch) EDIT UPDATE 2/3/2017: Wow, almost a whole month has gone by since I started using these guys. I found that if you give everything a quick rinse before placing the bases on the top rack that full on melting stops happening (I don't know if anyone usually rinses things before placing them in the dish washer, some people do, some people make them cleaner than how the dishwasher returns them). The lids all appear to be fine on the bottom rack with no issues. Bases have still warped a bit, but none have melted through since I started giving a bit of a cleaning to the bases. 1/6/2017 After loading up a few with various types of food (from casseroles to salads): Although the lids fit very close and snug to the bases on the bottom, they are not liquid friendly. The outside snaps are a deterrent, but not a total preventative (they give a little bit, so if you have them at the bottom of a bag and press/expand a few times, you can get water to spew out, like with most containers), so try and keep liquids to a minimum or at least the box right side up. The interior walls are decently spaced from each other and promote separation (liquid can, again, seep through, so keep that in mind when you think it would be a good idea to separate your pot roast, cheese and veggies, as a simply tipping of the box can mix things together.). One thing I did notice was a small step about a cm from the base that could be used as a good "fill line" if you still want to add liquids to your box. EDIT UPDATE 1/13/2017 Nothing has changed here, everything is working great as intended and I have tons of foods prepped for later consumption. Liquids I keep in other Tupperware containers. EDIT UPDATE 2/3/2017: Same as before, no faster spoiling or anything like that. I'm super paranoid that the lids or bases will crack, but no new ones yet. Definitely loving the sizes more. 1/6/2017 Current result: 3 stars currently, as I am already down 3 boxes (due to lids) and I haven't even opened the second package yet. Would still recommend purchasing, if you prepare your own meals, or like to portion things out after and stuff them into a freezer/fridge for later consumption. I like them, but I have yet to see how freezing and/or microwaving affects the product. I purchased 2 sets with the intention of spreading out the wear and tear. Depending on the open and initial wash condition of the second package, I will probably add/remove a star and update this review, and I intend to use the products for a month or two before giving an additional update. Overall: Color me impressed on the design and size, and depressed on the 1/5 (3/15) broken lids before I even got to use them. EDIT UPDATE 1/13/2017 Current result: I did have it at 3 stars originally, but as of the time of this review, containers that were fine in round one of dishwashing has some issues, loosing another 2 bases, and the second package also had a cracked base. The first package had 3 broken lids the first time through, so at this point I'm at a wash. I'm downgrading to 2 stars due to concerns about longevity, and I would accept the product as a gift, but I am unsure of purchasing more in the future. I will keep things updated as life progresses. EDIT UPDATE 2/3/2017: Microwave Results: Some of the bases (mainly ones that have semi-liquid contents like squash, chili, etc) have started to warp on whatever section they were inside of. Warping gets worse if you microwave, eat, and immediately turn the dishwasher on it, but if you let it cool down a bit, it seems to minimize the warping. I had bacon in one of the cups, and it made light pock marks in the plastic where extra grease may have fallen. Nothing was in the food, but I now take it out of the container before reheating. EDIT UPDATE 2/3/2017: Freezer Results: I'm still working my way through freezer outcomes. No shattering containers, no weird issues with the food, (other than the expected freezer burn on some things, slightly surprised that some have it and others don't.). Haven't had any of my old containers break when adding new ones, and I still haven't done a total test of freezer to microwave, since I can't seem to eat enough to overflow into the freezer items that I keep cooking. Reviews-To-Do: 1) Package #2 (Complete) 2) Microwave results (Needs more time, but appears to make containers more prone to warping) 3) Freezer then reheating results (Needs more time, but no issues yet with just freezing) 4) Product longevity (Needs more time)
