11 piece Vacuum Seal Food Storage Containers with Vacuum Pump, Airtight and Leak Proof, Vacuum Sealed Food Storage Containers, Meal Prep Containers, Keep Food Fresh up to 5 X Longer

i received my order today and it was all i expected. it has the easy handling and security of lock &lock canisters, nice handfeel plastic, not the flimsy storage quality container that a lot of products are made of today, but what i really wanted to know if my zwillig electrical handheld vacuum sealer would work on the container also - and i am glad to report that it does. i know it comes with a manuell sealer and that works great also, but i wanted the easy convenience of an automatic sealer. i have arthritis in my hands and the manuel pump is somewhat difficult for me.the containers are of a good size, actually, i had expected much smaller boxes, so again, this was a nice surprise and the cost is justified. love the product and look forward to seeing other sized containers. what i would like to find would be containers that can store sandwich deli slices, meat or cheese which are basically all sized similar, maybe grouped in pairs of two or three all the same size, this would ensure that food product would stay fresh longer but are still easy storaged in the refrigerator.overall, i can recommend this product - i like it very much

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.

Love these , would like more sizes

I love these. I am diabetic. My biggest problem with eating was my vegetables were going bad before I had the chance to use them. We live in a small village and we do have a mom and pop grocery store with a small selection of vegetables so yes I could go every day and shop there for my veggies. But like I said, a small selection. Supermarkets are 20-25 miles away. So after buying this set I went and shopped veggies. Washed and dried the veggies and choose a container to put them in. That was last week Monday. As you can see in the pics my veggies are still fresh in my fridge. The bottom middle is strawberries. Just washed and patted dry and placed in the container. Still fresh. So yesterday my bowls came, and my canisters are coming by the end of the week. You get a pump with each set so they can be placed in convenient areas to be handy when needed to reseal a container. Don’t have to drag out the ol’ seal a meal pump to reseal the container. I am happy that I am able to eat better. Saving money. I may have to call customer service to replace one seal. When I opened my snap peas there was no suction release so we will see how customer service is and I will update. My one and only gripe is the buckles. I cannot open them with my fingers after the seal is released. My fingers are 74+ years old and don’t like the prying action. So I use a fork handle to pop those babies open. Being careful, of course, not to get that fork up too high into the buckle and touching the silicone gasket. Buy these if you are looking for better food storage. You won’t regret it.

DONT DO IT.I spent $75 on a set. I’ve bought these before and they worked great. However, this set was completely different, 6 of the 8 peace, do not suction the air out and the two that do leak. I take them to work and I used to be able to use them for soups and salads with dressing in them and now I can’t because they leak into my bag. They are made very cheap. Do not get these.

These actually do create a vacuum seal with a little bit of effort. When you pump with their supplied tool the vacuum is created when you pull up. How many pulls that requires varies with the size of the container and how full or near empty it is. As you get towards a good vacuum the plunger becomes harder to pull up. On the big bowl that can take up to 10 pulls or even more. But this will keep a pre-made salad fresh for days. They also make these in a square configuration which I may order as this circular arrangement is less convenient for the types of food I usually want to vacuum seal. Also, they store conveniently within one another to save space when not in use.Here's a good tip. Don't even use the 4 sealing tabs but when you create a vacuum use those outstretched tabs to lift the container to prove that you have a vacuum. Just do it over a counter and only lift a few inches to verify the seal.
