My son bought me a set as part of my birthday presents and I am hooked!!! Best containers I've ever had. My addiction. All the sizes. The containers fit inside each other and the lids fit each other. My leftovers last longer, I have a long, big one that I cut a head of lettuce in half, out both halves down and my lettuces lasts a long time.Putting food away has never been easier. All my left over veg prep just go into the smaller sizes. They wash up brilliantly in the dishwasher, things that can stain other products like tomato sauce, I just rub a little Dawn dish soap around and into the dishwasher. No syaining. They freeze, fridge, microwave and dishwasher safe. I'm never looking through a dozen lids to find one that fits. They are airtight so sometimes getting the lid off of leftovers can take some muscle but air tight is what keeps the food fresher longer.I send sets as gifts. I asked my bonus daughter if she liked the set I sent her because I never heard and she got so excited telling me how much she and her man loved them. It blew me away that she was so excited about them. They are in an apartment without a dishwasher until her dad moves and sells them the house so storage is at a premium and dishes is a chore so Rubbermaid Brilliance helps them with both those challenges.Sometimes I feel like I'm a Rubbermaid Brilliance representative I preach them so much and send them to people for gifts.They can be spendy, I wait for sales or returns but the quality is there, it saves me money on food waste, I put away and stack leftovers in the fridge in a jiffy... I never lend them out or send a meal or treats to someone in them, I would never get them back.

I have accidentally become something of an expert in storageware. I live in the tropics, on the windward side of Oahu, essentially in the rain forest. We have humidity close to 100% year round, and everything that comes with it: mold, fungus, insects. After a bout with pantry moths, which required throwing away hundreds of dollars worth of food, cleaning and replacing shelf liners, etc.... I got serious about sealing everything up. I have bought literally dozens of containers. Most which describe themselves as "airtight" or waterproof, are not. I hate to say that we have gone through clearing everything out more than once...after bring home an infestation from a local health food store.I had one or two pieces from the Rubbermaid brilliance line and was really impressed with therm. It is crystal clear (even afte4r going through the dishwasher) and has what is effectively a vacuum seal. It not only keeps food feresh longer (in and out of the fridge) but it also keeps humidity and insects out. They are expensive, but they are also durable and very effective.When my husband brought home a 50 lb. bag of flour I searxched through my colection for large containers to store it in, not having room for a bag that size in the freezer. Flour does not do wel in a humid environment! I did not have enough airtight containers to put it all away, and so came back to Amazon to buy some more. After lots of searching I came back to the Rubbermaid brilliance collection. I already knew it was the best (to include OXO, which Amazon lists as the best). I beg to differ. OXO was very good, but the new line is not as good as the old, in terms of keeping things dry.All that said, this was purchased for flour, but it really is not large enough if you are trying to store a large bag. It will not fit a 5 lb. bag of flour (in or out of the bag). It will, however, fit a 5 lb. bag of sprouting seeds, perfectly! I wish there were a way to link this on the page for those seeds because it works so well. That is another thing which is quickly spoiled if wet. This is doing a great job of keeping them dry, and looks nice nough to leave on the counter.
