After reading reviews which left me with unclear / mixed answers prior to my purchasing these containers, I decided to buy them and see for myself what's up. Now that I've viewed and used them, I'll do my best to give the clear answers to clear up any confusion that other potential buyers might also have. Please see my review's photos for reference material. I marked each photo with a letter so you can 'see' what I'm talking about. - QUESTION: Some reviews say the containers leak, others say they don't. Which is the correct answer? - ANSWER: Yes and no. The compartments themselves are solid, but there is a small gap between the compartments' edges and the container lid. If you look at Photo A, you will see that I am pointing at the edges which are too low to meet the lid. Because there is a small gap, if the container is turned on its side, upside-down, or shaken around, liquids will ooze or spill between that low spot into the other compartments. That is the 'leak' people have spoken of. However, with the lid sealed in place there will not be any spilling / leaking OUTSIDE of the container; it will all be kept inside. - QUESTION: Is there a way to prevent leaks? - MY ANSWER: Yes. I used safe, food-grade silicone sealant (purchased separately and cheaply) to draw a little line of the sealant along the edges which are pointed out in Photo A. After the sealant dried, it worked as a complete barrier between the edge and the lid -- so there was no sloshing between the gap. - QUESTION: Do the compartments themselves leak into each other? - MY ANSWER: No. Aside from that small gap mentioned in Question #1 and pointed out in Photo A, there are no gaps between the compartments. Their walls are solid. In Photo B, you can see that I placed 3 different-colored liquids in each compartment, each at different levels so that you can clearly see they're blocked. There is no mixing or leaching of liquids between the compartment walls themselves. - QUESTION: Do the lids have trouble fitting on the containers? - MY ANSWER: Yes and no. First you'll need to make sure the seal is pressed all the way into its groove, just like -any- sealing lid. Then there's a specific trick for getting the lids on properly: the flaps need to be lifted outward, almost even to the rest of the lid. You can see this in Photo C. After the flaps are straight, set the lid on the container and then press the opposite flaps upward at the same time until they snap into place. If the flaps aren't even to the lid when you try to push them downward, you'll have a hard time and struggle to clasp it on; they won't go, or the lid will start sliding ajar. Once the lid is secured, however, it is on firmly and will not slip or allow leaks past. - QUESTION: Do the lids' seals fall out? - MY ANSWER: Except for issues where the seal is legitimately broken (cracked / snapped in half), the seal is supposed to be removable. You can see this in Photo D. This removal enables you to clean out the lid's groove, and to clean / sanitize the seal (else if food gets beneath and it's never washed, bacteria and / or mold will grow; this is fact for any product with a seal like this). Once the seal is dry, you can press it back into the groove with your fingertips. Make sure it's firmly and all the way in the groove, else it'll cause you some difficulty with snapping the lid on -- which, again, is true for every product with a lid like this.

The containers themselves are very nice. Sturdy. Lids fit well, except the round ones are a little iffy - trying to put straight snaps on a rounded edge. Here is what I do not like about them: 1. They nest, they sure do. However, they nest so tightly that you can't even get a finger in between them, so every time you need a container, you would have to pull out the pile of that shape and dig down one at a time to get to the one you want. Better engineering would have been to leave a bit of space, in my opinion. See picture on how we decided to store them so it isn't such a pain. And they don't move around like this. Not what I intended originally, but will suffice. 2. These are kind of small. We could never get rid of our bigger plastic. Will we replace the bigger plastic - not sure. I made 3 hamburger patties yesterday with the Cuisinart burger maker and had to pull a bigger plastic container. Not only are none wide/long enough for even 2 burgers, but none were tall enough to accommodate even 2 of our burgers (we did make them on the thicker side). That to me is disappointing. I'm sure there are costs associated with size but I for one would have been willing to pay more for the biggest one to be bigger and then stagger down with space left in between to be able to get them apart easily when nested. Hopefully, these last so it's not like a yearly expense. 3. I think the communication is confusing. And no communication came with the product. In a video posted by the company, it shows the containers going in the freezer, but wording says you can't. Dishwashing instructions are lacking/confusing and even in querying this in QA and reviews, you get mixed messages. So, I don't know if the lids can go in the top rack of the dishwasher. Things should be far more clear! Some people recommend looking on the product for what it says. Our products have absolutely no guidance. At a minimum, they should include one sheet of clear instructions in each package. We are going to go with the thought that the lids can only go in the fridge. Period. Which also is disappointing. These will work for us on some occasions. They certainly don't solve all our food storage needs. Probably not even half. We will keep them and use them for what we can. Trying to get away from so much plastic. UPDATE - I’ve been using these for a while and they are very nice. Very sturdy. The glass is hefty and I bought these due to borosilicate glass. The suggestions above I do wish they’d take into account, however, the product itself is very nice. Also - the smaller containers have lid instructions engraved! Hadn’t even noticed! Second UPDATE - wanted to let some time pass to see if storing them with lids ON would eventually be an issue because of weight. It has not been an issue! In fact, it’s very handy to store them this way! No digging for kids that if stored separately would have been a jumbled mess! They remain very nice containers which we would get again.

The recent return to office mandate has left me struggling with what to bring for a healthy and balanced lunch. While I have salad containers, I didn’t have anything that would work for other types of meals. These are amazing and easy to clean while having a good storage capacity! I hand wash the tops and throw the main container into the dishwasher. So far I’ve done chicken salad in the big part, shredded lettuce in the other, and brought a burrito sized tortilla to make a wrap. I’m looking forward to things like bbq pork or other types of protein and veggies where you can keep them separate. This is so important while meal prepping because stuff can get soggy and gross. The seal seems very tight and overall the product is sturdy. I’d definitely recommend these! I bought in white and I like the color!

It is always nice to get rid of plastic, and now we can prep cook a bunch of meals, throw them in the freezer, and pop them in the microwave whenever we are ready. I bought a bunch of these 36oz containers when my wife was pregnant, and I spent a couple days prep cooking her three months of food for post-partum. The glass containers are great for writing on with sharpie, and I was able to easily label everything. The lids are incredible and do not wear out like traditional Tupperware containers do, because the edges rotate on a hinge which significantly reduces the stress on the plastic top. They also double as great storage containers too. Replace the plastic in your house, and make the switch. We also got the 29oz version with the two compartments, and that was really nice for some meals.

Works great, and stackable to save space.

I use them every day for meal preps at work, and after a few months they still look like new ! Air tight, no leaks, very thick glass. I just wish the 3 compartments were also air tight between each other. Other than that, great product !

My go-to for keeping my kitchen organized and my food fresh. Suits all my storage needs, from leftovers to meal prep. The glass construction looks sleek and modern but also ensures durability and easy cleaning. I love that I can see exactly what's inside each container, making meal planning a breeze. The secure-fitting lids create an airtight seal, keeping my food fresh for longer periods. Whether it's storing soups, salads, or snacks, I can trust that these containers will keep everything tasting as good as the day it was made. Another feature I appreciate is their versatility. They're safe to use in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer, giving me the flexibility to heat, cook, and store without worry. Overal they exceeded my expectations. If you're in need of reliable and versatile food storage solutions, look no further. Highly recommended!

You get 5 for the price which I think is really reasonable, it is made of thick glass and pretty durable. The lids are also tight and they don’t leak. Now I did receive a damaged lid for one of the glass containers (as shown in picture) BUT the customer service is stellar. They responded right away and I only requested a replacement lid as all the other lids came okay but they sent me an entire new package! They were not doing replacements as of this time nor refunds but instead of cheating the customer as most companies do they sent a new package instead. I really appreciate that they went that route. For that reason, I highly recommend this product or any product from Prep Naturals actually.

Durable/thick glass, nice looking, I just take out the utensils to take the pic, I haven't use it yet for this moment.
