Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry Cereal Keeper, 18-Cup Airtight Cereal Container

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.

At first I really liked this product and started to replace all my other containers with various sizes of this one so therefore the age and usage of them all varies. I've been using the product in general for a little less than a year I suppose and started to notice cracks appearing in different ones. I've already thrown away a couple of the smaller ones thinking it was something I did wrong but now noticing something different. Yesterday I put a perfectly clear 3.2 cup container in the dishwasher and it came out this morning cracked and looking like a spider web. I went back to read about the care recommendations again and there was nothing specific about dishwashers. very disappointed. Jury still out whether I will buy again.
