Lasting Freshness 19 Piece Vacuum Seal Food Storage Container Set, Rectangle

Excellent product.Cannot rate them highly enoughOne q question though. Are they dishwasher safe?

I've had these containers a little over 2 weeks, so this isn't a long-term review, yet. If anything changes I'll update.I have all but one of the containers in use. * Several of these containers get opened and resealed several times a day, every day. A couple have been opened and resealed just a few times since I bought them, and one, my test container filled with uncooked rice, got sealed the day I got them more than 2 weeks ago and it's still holding the vacuum.I live where it's warm and very humid and food goes stale very quickly. I've tried a couple of other container products and neither of them worked this well. (I won't go into details here, but you can check the other reviews.) As long as these continue to work this well, this is exactly what I've been looking for, for a long time.I cut a pear in half, and put one half in one of these, sealed it and put it in the fridge. 3 days later it looked almost as if I'd just cut it in half. It had barely any discoloration. It was still crisp and tasted great. I haven't used them in the freezer yet, but I did microwave some rice from the day before in one. I put some popped popcorn into the bigger container and the next night it was still crisp.Since due to the vacuum, the containers change shape slightly, the lids don't seem to line up perfectly to get it back on byt just setting it squarely on top. The simple solution is to start with a corner. Seat one corner, then push the lid onto the container at the edges all the way around until you're back at the start, and you're all set. It takes a couple of seconds and saves you some frustration. After a bit longer-term testing, I will be buying more - I need them.* One of the valves won't hold the vacuum. Due to the really smart design of these, I swapped the valve with a valve from another lid and attempted to seal them both. The good one still seals in the other lid, and the bad one still doesn't, so I was able to determine the issue was with the valve and not the lid. I contacted that manufacturer, and they immediately sent out another valve and emailed me a tracking #. It'll come next week.Updated: 09-Sep-2018Re: Above. The manufacturer sent me two valves. One is in use and works perfectly, like the rest of them. The other is stored in case I need it.I tested these enough that I've ordered a 2nd set, which are also performing well. These are probably the best thing I've bought in a while.Note to Manufacturer: I don't understand the purpose of the lid latches. They're not needed. They wear out easily (I have one that has split and on the round containers, one that broke off right away). It's not an issue since they're simply not needed - why are they there? My suggestion would be to remove them, or come up with something different if people want to use the containers without the vacuum.These keep their 5-star rating.

I used the company's other set of vacuum containers, and they seem to be airtight. For this set of 9 containers, I wish the package had contained two air-pumps. If the one pump included fails, the whole set becomes ineffective. At least the company should offer a back-up air-pump to the buyer.

These containers have been fantastic. Easy to use and keeps everything fresh much longer. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is that the only option is to buy the entire set. We would like a few additional containers but not have to buy the entire $75 to get the few particular sizes we want out of it. So unfortunately we are having to buy extras from other company.

Ordered on 16 Jan, received today 30th, before 8 PM. Illinois cross customs to mid Manitoba, I'm impressed.As an initial reaction to the delivered set my wife and I were totally blown away by the quality of the items. The containers have a weight and substantial feel to them, not the usual flimsy plastics. Lids fit properly and catches snap nicely into place. The manual vacuum pump, while a simple thing, proved to be totally adequate for its job, providing a sealed container in two to three pumps. The vacuum held with the lid catches released and the vacuum had to be released to remove the lid. So far we are totally satisfied with this product. I will post an updated review when we have had chance to actually vacuum pack some food.
