Portability

I love this rubbermaid product. It is a great addition to my kitchen when meal prepping an taking to work . Also it seats great for my beef stew and rice and maybe some soup although it can spill a bit but if you put it on your lunch bag it should be fine.

Super

These containers are very easy to handle; you can store many products in them. You can put them in the refrigerator or on the stove. They are made of a very good material because they won't break if dropped. The locks on the containers...For me they are very good,muy útiles y recomendables.

Great product!

I love these!! Are lightweight, airtight and attractive! I have been using them daily for well over a year. Two cracked- perhaps due to high dishwasher heat. I would love to replace them without the wasting the lids - which are still good. Please make separate pieces available for sale!

Lids are awful

I thought I would love these containers since they stack well, are clear and leak proof. Unfortunately, I have bought quite a few and the lids are always cracking in the middle and there is no option to just purchase lids. I've wasted so much money on these and they only last a short time. The container has been fine but I have no lids for them anymore so I'm moving on to another brand.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Brilliance™ Medium Food Storage Containers. We are sorry to hear that the lids cracked over time and that replacement lids were not available separately. To help reduce stress on the lids, we recommend avoiding excessive force when snapping them closed and allowing hot foods to cool before sealing, as heat and pressure may contribute to cracking over time. However, we understand your concerns regarding the lid durability and replacement options. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and your feedback regarding lid durability and replacement part availability will be shared with our team as we continue reviewing product quality and customer needs. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Rubbermaid® Consumer Care

Have to replace them every six months

I do like how they don't stain, but the bottoms are not very durable. I have ones that crack and break. The lids are very durable and hold up. They need to sell replacements for the bottom. I have a drawer full of lids and no bottoms pieces for the containers. I have to replace them every six months.

Impossible to open!

I bought a large (and costly) set of Rubbermaid Brilliance storage containers to replace various containers--some that were not BPA-free, and some (made by OXO) that cracked and were therefore unusable. The Rubbermaid containers are impossible to open, no matter how much I tug at them and no matter at which spots, at the corners or at the sides. It is UNCONSCIONABLE for Rubbermaid to manufacture and sell such poor products. The phone rep I just spoke with provide no recourse--no replacement lids, no advice on how to fix my current lids/containers. He stupidly suggested I wait tor the containers to "cool down" after I took them out of my refrigerator! (Important: I have never put them in the microwave or oven!) Disgusting representation of your company-- and a reflection of the disgusting quality of your inappropriately named "Brilliance" products.

Hello, we are very sorry to hear about your experience with the Brilliance™ Pantry Food Storage Container. We understand how frustrating it is to purchase a container, only to find that the lids are difficult or impossible to open. As a first troubleshooting step, please make sure all four lid latches are fully released before attempting to lift the lid. You can also try gently lifting the lid from one corner while ensuring the opposite latches are completely disengaged. If the container was recently refrigerated, allowing it to return to room temperature may also help equalize any pressure difference between the container and the surrounding environment. Please avoid using excessive force, sharp objects, or utensils to pry the lid open, as this could damage the container or lid. If the lid remains difficult to remove after the latches are released and the container has returned to room temperature, the lid or container may require further evaluation. We also apologize for the experience you had with our Customer Care team. The guidance you received did not address your concerns, and we understand your frustration, particularly since you have not used the containers in a microwave or oven. We would like the opportunity to help. Please contact Rubbermaid Customer Care. Your feedback regarding both the product and your customer service experience is important to us and will be shared with the appropriate teams. If you need any further assistance, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on the website https://www.rubbermaid.com/support/contact-us, and we will be happy to assist further. Thank you!

Glass Is the safest

I love the Rubbermaid glass food containers but only the 1.3 size. I specifically bought the galas rather than plastic which I will not buy. The glass are safe, durable and a perfect size. Unfortunately they aren't available unless you buy and large pack which are made up of several large sizes. It's a waste of money is ll you want is the1.3 size.

The Hidden Cost of Brilliance

The seal on these products are regrettably the first thing to fail. I recently spoke with an agent from Rubbermaid and was told the lids with these failing seals on such an expensive item cannot be purchased separately, especially the glass version. Replacing the entire container to get a new lid becomes rather expensive for a known failure.

Hello, Thank you for your message regarding the Rubbermaid Brilliance™ Medium Food Storage Containers. We can confirm that, in most cases, lids and sealing components are not sold separately for this product line, which means replacement typically involves purchasing a full container set. Availability can vary by region and retailer, but this is the standard policy our representatives follow for Brilliance glass and plastic containers. If you have any more questions or comments, please reach out to our team via https://www.rubbermaid.com/support/contact-us, at 1-888-895-2110 or through LiveChat.
