Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry Airtight Food Storage Container, 7.8-Cup

Let me start by saying I love this product. It has allowed us to transition away from the mess of storing left overs to a very organized way. The see thru containers, the multifunction are all great pluses for me. My issue comes that it appears after 6 to 8 months there starts to be a breakdown in the material. It started with small micro fractures and end with a large crack, that renders the product unusable. I am highly disappointed as we love the product, but it was expensive. We made an investment and it has failed us.

I have purchased a set of these twice. The first time my containers lasted a good year before any concerns arose. Then we started noticing them cracking. So we got a new set because we liked them so much. The new set lasted approximately 4 months before we started noticing cracking. Many of the cracks turned into full on brakes like a hairline fracture. We loved these containers but would like better durability. We only hamd washed them and they didn't have a lot of microwave use. We think we will be going with glass next.
