Vacuumsaver air&liquid tight food storage containers, set of 10 + pump

These are great. I put my hand up and admit I'm a numpty. Well worth buying.

The 2 large one is deforming easily, and take same times to get back the original shape. But for me all working well.

For me, these containers 'work' just as well, if not better, than the similar 'vacu-vin' type of containers I already own.Unlike some other reviewers (which made me think twice before buying, luckily I took the plunge anyway !) I have had no trouble at all creating a long-lasting vacuum within each container.I think the 'trick' might be to not only pump for 'longer' (about 20 repetitions is a good guide), but also use the visual guidance of the lid 'dishing' slightly into the container void to show a realistic vacuum is present.....As the plastic is also quite flexible (again unlike the hard plastic of the 'vacu-vin' type), that latter action isn't a cause for alarm since when the vacuum stopper is used to equalize pressure the lid returns to it's normal shape without any fuss.The other advantages they have is that they are much better suited for storage in the fridge and, more significantly, can be used in the microwave for reheating their contents - they are also dishwasher-safe.The plastic they are made of is remarkably heavyweight/thick, giving the impression of durability. As they are more 'utilitarian' than the 'vacu-vin' type they are not perhaps as well suited to 'presentation' storage (eg biscuits), the bright green seals and vacuum 'stopper' help with that factor as well !The range of container sizes in this set is quite good, with 2 offering a very useful large capacity (eg a loaf of bread, whole chicken) but I would have preferred a few more of the 'cube' shape instead of the majority being the squat/rectangular variety.As there's also only 1xvacuum pump supplied (a bit stingy IMHO), this means I've now bought a smaller set of the same make to fill both those deficiencies :Vacuumsaver Flavia 3 piece food container set - with vacuum pumpAs I bought this set with the recent Amazon 4for3 Home/Garden sale the cost of it has been lowered somewhat - this was the reason I bought it at the time, as the premium of the vacuum capability I don't think completely justifies the normal selling price vs shop-bought containers. However, there's not too much out there that offers the vacuum capability so the choice is limited !

A little fragile- the vacum seal doesnt work well on some of the boxes - and certainly not well on the larger boxes

It just arrived so i never used food there however the quality is brilliant.. Is more expensive than other but it really worth the money

perfect storage for food . vegetables last longer, cheese , marinated meat, great , I have only positive thing to say

Have received a set of 9 pieces and although they are well made and solid,10 minutes after extracting the air,they are full again!Will return immediately.Shame...

Great product.
