I have mixed feelings about this container

I like Lock-Its containers for their sealing capabilities. The seal is strong enough to keep fresh ground coffee beans fresh-smelling for a month. I like the placement of the seal much better than other brands with seals. It's much more than a flimsy ring that will easily come out of the ridge. It seems to be seal to the lid itself, not just sitting in a ridge. I like the boxy shape. I make a lot of soups and a serving size of 1.5 cups in these containers is perfect. They stack, they don't waste space. I wash these by hand so they will last forever. However, this is the second lid that has broken when I dropped the container. There's so much to love but I'm too klutzy for them.

thought they would be great. didn't work out.

Purchased two. Seemed just the ticket. On the first usage I put in a cooked chicken breast. I left the other two compartments empty. The used compartment turned white and scaley after microwaving. Disappointed, I put them on the top rack of the dishwasher. First off,.. there is no room for other items once you load them. Too bulky. Second, the lid was badly warped after washing. One lady's review said she washes by hand. That might help,... but, I (not only am lazy) but prefer the more sanitizing dishwasher results. I am going to toss them out.

    Lock-its are the best

    I am so amazed with these containers! They seal tight, my cookies didn't go stale, I didn't have to throw any away. They have many different sizes. They are very sturdy and tough ( I know because I already dropped one with soup), no spills! Thank You Rubbermaid! They withstand the microwave, dishwasher, freezer, etc. They are easy to open and close, which is good because I have arthritis. They are thick plastic, not flimsy.

    No more playing the "match the shape" game

    Bought these a few years ago and love them. They are the only ones I use in my cabinet so I just bought another set and threw out all the other containers just taking up space. One size lid for three different large containers and one small size for three different smaller containers. Leftovers never spill when my husband takes them to work on his motorcycle.

    Tough!

    I bought these storage containers because I was tired of the cheap disposable ones always looking so bad and breaking. Well let me tell you these are tough. I seem to over load my fridge once in awhile and things fall out when the door is opened. These containers take the hit! They don't break! I am impressed.

    disappointment

    I was so excited when I saw a box of lock its at costco while I was shopping. We have the glasslock containers but the rubbermaids come in more convenient sizes. I got home washed them and packed my lunch in the for the next day at work. But to my disappointment they leak! not only did i have pineapple juice all over my lunch bag, I also had fish juice. We use a ton of rubbermaid in our house and have never been so disappointment by one of their products. The rubbers are all in tack and it doesnt seem to have any reason to leak. I wont be buying any more rubbermaid containers again.

    Lids will not stay fastened

    4 of the 10 lids will not snap down and latch onto the container. One of the lids has 2 flaps that will not latch down and the other 3 all have one flap that will not latch down on the container. I have tried mutable containers with the 4 lids with no success. I am very disappointed with this Rubbermaid product and there quality control. I will think long and hard before buying a Rubbermaid product again.

    they LEAK

    purged my whole prior set and bought a big box of these -- waste of money since on my first use (had never been put in dishwasher or anything, just rinsed) they leaked all over my briefcase and the books and papers inside. Definitely not worth the money.

    they DON'T lock-its!

    I bought these because my very VERY old set of similar style clicklock containers were biting the dust. I've always had great luck with rubbermaid so was excited to try these... I was so disappointed! The larger ones are ok, but the little ones don't stay locked... I've been using them for a week, and I've already had two different in-bag spills. I'm going to be returning them.

    Not Happy

    Purchase a set of these so I could throw my old ones away. So far, a tab on one of the lids broke and several do not close correctly anymore (don't seal/snap). No dishwasher usage involved and did not microwave lids. Very unsatisfied with these, especially after my old Rubbermaids!

    Absolutely terrible, do not purchase

    I bought these to use daily with lunches and dinners for proportioned meals made in advance. I can't say how disappointed I was. Absolutely do not seal. I am very disappointed. I came to the website because I thought there must be a secret of getting them to seal. Rubbermaid didn't even mention the sealing process, just how well they stack. Wow, they stack, unfortunately they don't seal. Total waste of time and money. Thanks Rubbermaid, I won't be giving you my money in the future, ever.

    Great container for packing lunch

    I purchased this product recently because I was looking for containers I could use for packing lunches. The locking lids caught my attention because I often bring soups for lunch. Since the lids have four locking tabs I felt these would be extra secure and prevent my food from spilling in my lunch bag. The lids also have a rubber gasket that seems to make the seal extra tight. These have now become the only container I use for lunch.

    Lids not secure

    I have been using Rubbermaid containers with the regular lids for years for my lunches. One lid finally cracked and I bought two of these with the snap lids to replace it. I am very disappointed as the lids will not stay snapped shut and will leak in my lunch bag. The lids are also cumbersome to load in the dishwasher.

    Inferior copy of a good product

    I got a set of these for my birthday, I ususally use the lock and lock ones that have been around for a couple of years. These are an obvious attempt to get a similar product out there and that is good, competition is good. Unfortunatly these are not nearly the same quality, not sure who writes reviews for these products but I have had these less then a month and I`m ready to throw them out. Sure they look pretty and the neat stacking seems to make them even more likable. Unfortunatly it is not really usable as stacking them with the lids on the bottom just wastes space in the cupboard. They leak! Yes they do I have 3 so far that have leaked on me, and the way the snaps are made and used makes them easy to wear out and likly to lose their...

    Does not LOCK!!

    I bought this Rubbermaid 9 cup Lock-its and it does not stay locked. I have used Rubbermaid for years. This includes very large totes and never had any problems. This one seems to be different!

    Lock it lids don't stay locked

    Great idea, poor execution. What good are tight lids if they don't stay tightly locked? I'm tired of trying to lock it, and have the latches pop up. This happens a lot. sometimes two or three may stay locked, but most don't.
