Rubbermaid 42-Piece Food Storage Containers with Lids

I bought these to replenish my mom’s Tupperware because they keep getting stolen because they are so good! The seal is tight, keeping food fresh for awhile. The sizes give you lots of options for food storage. I wish they came in other colors, but the red is nice. Also great for storing craft supplies, nails, screws, really anything. They store well in your cabinets because both the lids and containers stack neatly.

Leaving my original review for comparison. I originally left 4 stars, changing to 5 now that I've had these a couple of weeks and had a chance to use them, wash them, close and re-open and re-close them. 5 stars. Read my pros and cons with this in mind; I wrote them after checking out the containers when I first got them, BEFORE I used them. Having said that; I would move the lids to the pros side. They may not snap on as easily as the older ones, but they do seal well. They cleanup easily also, Add that to the pros. I tried one in the microwave to see what would happen; they seem to do well, no excessive softening or discoloring like the older ones did. I will still be careful what is in them in the microwave just to be safe. All in all; seems to be the quality I expect from Rubbermaid. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4 Stars. I purchased these to replace the older set that I have. You know; the ones with the pinkish-purple lids. I read the reviews and couldn't find anything extremely negative, so I bought them. The containers I am replacing are over 10 years old and may be as much as 14 years old, so only time will tell if this new set will have the longevity I've come to expect in Rubbermaid products. I won't say that I am unhappy with the purchase, just skeptical of the quality and possible lifespan of these new containers. Here is what I found as pros and cons, others may find other points as well. The pros: First off; the price was great! I always watch for sales and this was a good sale. The vented lid seems like a good idea, the vent seals well. There are a good variety of sizes in this set, including one larger container. The cons: The material on these new ones is not as heavy. The lids do not snap on as easily and don't seem to seal as well. Overall; if they have a lifetime close to the last set I bought, they are an exceptional value for the money. Only time will tell the story. I give them 4 stars because I am skeptical that they will last.

I originally found these at my local grocery store, but they stopped carrying them. I bought my first batch on Amazon in 2020, two more batches in 2022. They don't warp in the dishwasher, even on the bottom shelf. They really do seem to seal very well and hold up well in the freezer. I've never used them in the microwave. However, they have gone from $24 in 2022 to $39 in 2026 - ouch! I make and store food for both myself and my Dog with these and use them at least 2-3 per day, filling, freezing, dishwasher, and repeat. It's been 7 years, and unless you drop a frozen one (they will shatter), they just last and last without warping. At $24, they were a bargain; at $39... ?

I’m very pleased at how well these containers hold up. Holds up in the dishwasher and the lids still seal tightly. Easy to store, hasn’t pealed like other containers.

I really do like these bowls. They're nice and sturdy, the lids snap on tightly, and the snap together feature is a great space saver for holding leftovers. The new design with the air vents in the lids for the larger bowls is a great idea - love it for reheating in the microwave. Now for the things that I don't like (and the reason that I only gave 4 stars to a product that I really like). There are ENTIRELY too many small containers. In my wildest dreams, I cannot fathom why they thought somebody would need so many of such tiny containers. I mean, I'm pretty sure that they were not added for any real reason they thought their customers might need them for. Seems to me that they were solely added just because the smaller containers are cheaper to produce, and putting them in these sets allows them to raise the number of pieces in the sets, (remember, the item count includes each bowl AND each lid), which also makes it sound like a better deal, rather than for any foreseeable use for their customers. Of course, I did know what I was buying, they had pictures and everything, but you cannot buy any of their sets that do not include these. What you get with the smaller sets is less of the larger, usable bowls. And buying the larger bowls alone costs so much that it doesn't make any sense to just buy those. Secondly, the bowls stain with tomato sauce. Storing leftovers in the fridge stains most of the time (though there are exceptions, maybe based on what type of sauce it is). Do not EVER put anything with tomato sauce in the microwave, even with the handy new vent lids. It not only stains, but it almost looks like the sauce has kind of melted itself into the bowl. Nothing else that I've ever reheated does this - only tomato sauce, for some reason. And our family loves things with tomato sauce, so we always have to make sure that we have other brands of containers as well, just to use for tomato sauce. I probably will buy them again, and I will probably be frustrated each time because of these things, but like I said at the beginning, they are nice sturdy bowls with lids that snap on tightly and seal well. Can't have everything, I guess.

This is for the four-piece set. Two containers and two lids. These are the larger size ones. If you check the photo, you'll see the two that I'm talking about. They're in the top left side and the smaller one is inside the larger one. The lid is the one leaning up right next to it on the left. The other containers are for size reference. Why is it that food storage containers and their lids are so impossible to keep organized? Have you ever noticed that it's easily the most disorganized drawer or cabinet in your life? Luckily these rubber-made ones are big enough that you can actually use that to store other ones inside until you need them. That's what I did and you can check the pictures. I believe I've come up with a pretty good storage solution. The reason why I'm explaining that to you is I've put a lot of thought into these food storage containers and I have a bunch of different brands and a bunch of different sizes. I'm always experimenting and that should tell you that I know what I'm talking about. You should trust my word when it comes to food storage containers lol. It's not a low-key flex. I'm just making sure that we understand each other. When I say that these are pretty good you should trust me. Of course Rubbermaid is a great company and they make top quality stuff anyway. When it comes to food storage you should never skimp. I know it's tempting to order one of the cheaper brands and I know sometimes these can be an arm and a leg, it feels like. When you find the right ones that are easy to store and are airtight you should just really look no further.

These are my favorite food container and I’ve been a fan of Rubbermaid ever since they’ve been in business! This is a very efficient good storage solution and guess what? They are made in the USA!! Thumbs up on that and for me!! Connie C 😁🌻

My old ones needed replacing.....badly. These are nicer. Expensive, yes, but worth it.

前に青緑色の蓋で本体も薄い青緑のと、濃いグレーで下は透明で薄いラインが入っているのをコストコで買って愛用してきました。前のは十年前後使ってきました。使える状態ですがお裾分けなどで入れ物返ってこず買い足しました。これはアメリカから直送されたようです。前のより商品は高級感無くなったけど、まあ同じ便利さです。以前のものと同サイズですので、お互い蓋は共有できます。ここが一番ありがたかったです。前のセットはものすごく大きいのが入っていたけどこれはそれはなく、使いやすいサイズです。このタイプ、作り続けてほしいなあ。壊れないから滅多に買い替えないけど。

Rubbermaid always masked sensibly designed, robust food storage containers. Quality product.

I went on a mission to add to/replace some of my vented Tupperware - only to discover that my beloved 20yr old set is no longer made. There was a new version, but ran to $20 a unit, way to pricey for me. Then I saw these, as an add on for less than $5 and decided to gamble. Best gamble I could have made! I literally gave away every single Tupperware and other container and have gone from three shelves to just one, for storage, and have oodles of well made, super functional containers. LOVE: The vented lids are a game changer. Now InstaPot leftovers go straight into these containers, into the fridge or freezer, and are ready as instant meals. Lids are solidly made, DO NOT leak, and snap on firmly, but not so tight that opening them is a challenge (someone with limited strength in their hands MIGHT have an issue...). The 3, 5 and 7 cup ALL come with the same size vented lid, and actually snap together into a block so there is no longer a lid storage issue, or an issue trying to find the "right" size. Others sizes also have multiple sized containers that have identical lids - the simply increase the height of the container, retaining the same size opening at the top. The containers themselves all stack, with the 3, 5 and 7 cup all happily nesting inside of each other. The same goes for some of the smaller sizes; multiple sizes have the same top and bottom dimensions, and the increased volume comes in the increased height. As the containers are square, the stack and store much more easily, and with less wasted space then round containers. I thought this would be an issue in the microwave, leading to uneven heating, but there is absolutely no issue. They seem very happy washed on the top shelf of the dishwasher, no warping or cleaning issues, and when stood up, in the "bowl rack" they retain no water once washed, like some containers do. Each container has the volume it holds marked on the bottom, super handy. HATE: I almost did not buy these, as I hate the color...there is a lovely teal option available in the US, but I could not bring myself to pay double simply for a different color. The volume markings are super helpful, but awfully tiny...it would be nice if they made these numbers MUCH larger. All in all, these sets have solved my food storage issues, and I could not be happier!

The product matches the description and looks good overall. However, the plastic feels slightly thinner than expected, and the edges still have sharp remnants from the injection molding process. Picture attached. These could pose a risk of cutting fingers while washing.

Muy prácticos, cierran perfectamente
