I was looking forward to receiving these. I have some Green boxes and these seemed like they would be better. When they arrived it didn't seem anything like the presentation. There were no valves in the tops or whatever the pully was. I tried calling the number on the info sheet that came with it to talk to them about it. It was some machine that has a statement and I tried leaving a message with no response, so back they went

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these. I have 3 sets and still can never find one not in use. My husband is a truck driver and loves them on his truck when they bounce off the shelf they stay closed and his food stays fresher. My Daughter has asked for them for her hope chest. I have given them as gifts and now those people want more. I will definitely be ordering more

I have bought 2 set of these so far. Vegetables last much much longer in these containers. I am going to buy more for the Christmas gifts.

I only use these for my tuna or bean salads. I never used the pump, I don't know it seems like too much work. I'm afraid to microwave them and always put a rubberband around them for extra security. They are nice looking. I do store things in the large sizes, like sugar. Can't complain for the price.

NOT a Vacuum Seal!

Not one in the set will hold a seal for more than a few hours. Sometimes as I am "vacuum" sealing them, the locking flaps open up spontaneously. I wash them only by hand so they are not affected by high heat. They are not as advertised and only worth the price of a grocery-store container.

Have purchased three sets of these and love them. They seem to keep my food fresher. My only suggestion is to offer more of the small sizes in a set.

I love the idea of this product, and it actually works! I bought some lettuce and divided it, put half in the container, left half of it in the regular bag so I can compare the results later. Big difference in 5 days! Well worth the money because my husband and I never eat our vegetables and fruits before they go bad. Also, great for marinating meats. Absolutely love it!

Although these bowls are advertised to be microwave safe, I warm up some barbecue ribs for two minutes and the bowl started melting in the bottom corners. I also have one that you can not pump up, it immediately goes back down. Nice concept, but it needs some work.

I have used this a lot! It keeps things good for a longer period of time and I love the look of it too. I will most likely buy more. I dont believe lock and lock has anything on this style of tupperware except the higher price.

I love these containers. I have other boxes that are suppose to keep them fresh but, aren't that great. The one box kept my package of open bagged lettuce for at least two weeks. I thought when I opened it up that I would have to throw away it because I forgot about it and it was as fresh as the day I bought it. Would like to see more of this line Thanks

I ordered 2 sets in purple and really like them. I like that they stack and come in a variety of sizes. The pump is easy to use and only takes a few seconds. I like the idea of being able to freeze food in them and I love that the lids come in different colors. The bowls are a heavy plastic. Would like to see them available in one size vs having to get different sizes.

I purchased two sets of these Storage Sets, I love them! In times like these when saving money is key, the vacuum feature helps keep food fresh longer. Rotten spoiled food = wasted money. The pump is easy to use and the containers are made of heavy duty plastic. You can't compare this product to Lock N Lock, because Lock N Lock DOESN'T have the vacuum feature! I find they're the exact same quality anyway, but Lock N Lock is MUCH more expensive & is w/o the vacuum.

The middle piece that is rubber on the lid falls out! I washed these by hand and noticed one was gone. Had to stick my hand in the garbage disposal to find it. Plus each lid fits different. SOme are really hard to put on some go on way to easy not giving it a good fit. And it is those that I noticed will not hold a seal when you use the pump. Just JUNK. Go buy Lock and Lock. This a poor copy of Lock and Lock. I will just stick with what I feel is best. LOCK N LOCK

I have purchased 4 sets of this product. It has replaced other "Vacuum Seal" options my family and I have purchased. The vacuum seal is so good on these containers, even if you do not have the lid secured by the four snaps, the vacuum seal secures the lid. Also, other "Vacuum Seal" options can be difficult to actually get "Vacuumed". This product is very easy.

My strawberries and other produce items have lasted much longer! I was skeptical about these as I’ve tried a few other food storage lines that supposedly extend food life, but I’ve had no luck. For example, other than literally storing items, those “GreenBoxes” didn’t do anything for me. With these I would still suggest placing paper towels inside to help absorb moisture. Someone with arthritis may have trouble with the vacuum pump in trying to get out as much air as possible, though.

This set is so affordable, and does a great job storing food, and even non food items. Different sizes are great, and the vacuum feature ensures freshness. I hope you expand this line into other items, thanks HSN for this super storage set!!!!
