"Worth the price"


These are so much better than the less expensive containers.
They do not stain and they stand up to the dishwasher and microwave
well. For these reasons they far outlast the other containers.

"Much better than the flexible containers"
These are so much better than the soft plastic containers. The do so well in the microwave and are really sturdy and stack so nicely. I will never buy anything but these ever again.

"Excellent storage option!"
This product is wonderful for microwaving and storage. I especially love the stain-resistant feature. I have microwaved tomato-based dishes in it and it doesn't leave any staining!

My only issue with it is that the lids are a bit hard to clean, if you don't have a dishwasher.

"Incredible Set!"
*****
This is a great set---10 separate pieces each with lids---and a stunning value! They stack so that storage is easy---they come in a 9" x 8" x 11" box, so they fit into a very small space. This is a great all-around set, with items of all different sizes, a good starter set, too.

I have other Rubbermaid Stain Shield items, and I really love them. They are made from a very hard plastic (polycarbonate) which is made to last forever. The lids fit well and seal very tightly, but aren't too hard for me to get off at all. They don't stain even with tomato products and are really easy to clean.

This product looks like it will last a long time. Some reviewers have occasionally mentioned cracking and breaking; however, I can't imagine this as a potential problem for me because these items are really sturdy and we're not overly rough with our containers. Our other Rubbermaid Stain Series items have lasted for months with no problems. They definitely are not made of the same material as typical Rubbermaid plastic, but that's because polycarbonate is not porous, not made to absorb stains or odors. I love the polycarbonate material, and have never had anything ever made with it break or crack, only cloud up a bit with age and heavy use (I also scrub them with steel wool sometimes, though, which is probably why).

This Rubbermaid Stain Shield set comes with a Lifetime Warranty which is printed on the box. They say they will compensate you for any product defects and will not charge you for labor, service, or parts, and then give you an 800 number to call to make a claim. The warranty does not cover damage due to accident, misuse, or abuse of the storage pieces, which they say includes melting, warping, burning, or scratches. So...don't stick these in your oven, or drive over them with your car, throw them in your woodstove in the winter, or try to hack them in two with an ax, and I think you'll be just fine. If you have any other type of problem, you get your money back (even plus the sales tax, they say). Hey, I'm totally satisfied---not many products are this great and then have a warranty like this to boot!

"Totally Worth It"
I have gone through various food storage sets. Gladware, Ziploc, the whole shelf. These Rubbermaids truly live up to their advertising. The lids stack and lock together, which is a HUGE space saver, and they don't get lost in the back of the cabinet. The tubs themselves are very sturdy. They have gone from freezer to microwave to dishwasher and still come out looking new. Nothing sticks to them, no tomato sauce stains!
