Rubbermaid is known for their quality products, and I was expecting this same quality when buying the Twist and Seal containers. Boy was I disappointed. Though lovely to look at (far more aesthetically pleasing than its happy competitor), when it came to function it was a dud. The first time it happened, I dismissed it as a fluke and threw that one container away, but it kept happening...batch after batch of fruit cocktail, spinach juice, and other wet foods were leaking all over the rest of my lunch. Finally, I had enough and now only use the set as regular leftover storage in my refridgerator, ever mindful of the fact that I cannot tip the containers over.

The deep squares are a good size overall--not too big and not too small--making them versatile for my needs, and the plastic of the bowl itself is very sturdy. The VERY FIRST TIME I removed the lid from one of the bowls, however, it snapped off at the corner with the tab. It hadn't been in the freezer, dishwasher or otherwise exposed to unusual temperatures. I realize these are economically priced, but I expect better quality from a brand like Rubbermaid, regardless of the price I am paying.

I was so excited to see rubbermaid carried larger sizes in takealong containers. I love to bake and they are just the perfect size for my homemade rolls and chocolate chip cookies. The colors are great also. The colors are what drew me and there was a bonus small round container when I bought mine. I will be purchasing these for my 2 daughters and daughter- in-law for Christmas presents. I also saw some great new items online.

Too flimsy

Great containers!

I regularly use the 2.9 cups (669 ml) sandwich size container to take lunches to work - all kinds. I like the containers firm click lid, however, the bottom of the container has become gross and disgusting with the surface becoming stained and encrusted with food particles. We always wash the containers either in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand in the sink. It didn't matter as we can't get rid of this staining and food adhesion. Into the recycling they go after only 3 months. I'm not going to chase Rubbermaid for the cost of these containers but I may not buy their brand in the future. Disappointed

I bought a TakeAlong Set at Sams Club, when I opened the box, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the containers. They should be sold as disposable containers! The material is VERY THIN and I can't imagine them lasting more the 2 or 3 uses. They also look like they would crack very easily in a freezer. This isn't the Rubbermaid I used to know! I am returning them back to Sams Club today!

I bought these to put fruit in and liked the twist lock so called leak proof lids. I put cereal in one and milk in the other. By the time I got to work half the milk had leaked out so now I have to use a plastic bag so it won't leak. I'm not very happy with this product at all

I first tried to put milk in the containter to bring to work for my cereal. Leaked all over, milk half gone. Then I tried blueberries, but even the little bit of juice from those managed to leak out. Now I use the cups by putting them in a plastic bag, what a waste of resources. I find it hard to believe the reviews that say it does not leak.

I bought these in the new teal blue. I've used them about 3 weeks and one has cracked. They do not feel as thick as the clear ones I have from the past. They were perfect for my refrigerated oatmeal for breakfast. One just didn't last. I've hand washed them only.
