Lasting Freshness Vacuum Seal Food Storage Containers with Hand Pump – BPA-Free Plastic, Airtight Meal Prep & Leftovers Containers, Keep Food Fresh 5X Longer, 19-Piece Set

i received my order today and it was all i expected. it has the easy handling and security of lock &lock canisters, nice handfeel plastic, not the flimsy storage quality container that a lot of products are made of today, but what i really wanted to know if my zwillig electrical handheld vacuum sealer would work on the container also - and i am glad to report that it does. i know it comes with a manuell sealer and that works great also, but i wanted the easy convenience of an automatic sealer. i have arthritis in my hands and the manuel pump is somewhat difficult for me. the containers are of a good size, actually, i had expected much smaller boxes, so again, this was a nice surprise and the cost is justified. love the product and look forward to seeing other sized containers. what i would like to find would be containers that can store sandwich deli slices, meat or cheese which are basically all sized similar, maybe grouped in pairs of two or three all the same size, this would ensure that food product would stay fresh longer but are still easy storaged in the refrigerator. overall, i can recommend this product - i like it very much

I was very impressed with the quality of the product. These containers are very rugged and hold their shape no matter what you store in them. I am also delighted with the airtight sealing. I have kept fresh foods for over two weeks with no signs of spoiling. Loved them so much, I purchased a second set. A great value for the money and perfect sizes for all your storage needs.

I got these because I needed new containers. The vacuum pump doesn't work equally well on all of them. Some are very easy to seal and some don't hold the vacuum well at all. I have an electric sealer and other containers that are made for it. These ones have a completely other type pump so if you are looking for a cheap alternative to an electric one this is not it. They are good containers though, with flaps that snap closed and a thick gasket.

I've had these containers a little over 2 weeks, so this isn't a long-term review, yet. If anything changes I'll update. I have all but one of the containers in use. * Several of these containers get opened and resealed several times a day, every day. A couple have been opened and resealed just a few times since I bought them, and one, my test container filled with uncooked rice, got sealed the day I got them more than 2 weeks ago and it's still holding the vacuum. I live where it's warm and very humid and food goes stale very quickly. I've tried a couple of other container products and neither of them worked this well. (I won't go into details here, but you can check the other reviews.) As long as these continue to work this well, this is exactly what I've been looking for, for a long time. I cut a pear in half, and put one half in one of these, sealed it and put it in the fridge. 3 days later it looked almost as if I'd just cut it in half. It had barely any discoloration. It was still crisp and tasted great. I haven't used them in the freezer yet, but I did microwave some rice from the day before in one. I put some popped popcorn into the bigger container and the next night it was still crisp. Since due to the vacuum, the containers change shape slightly, the lids don't seem to line up perfectly to get it back on byt just setting it squarely on top. The simple solution is to start with a corner. Seat one corner, then push the lid onto the container at the edges all the way around until you're back at the start, and you're all set. It takes a couple of seconds and saves you some frustration. After a bit longer-term testing, I will be buying more - I need them. * One of the valves won't hold the vacuum. Due to the really smart design of these, I swapped the valve with a valve from another lid and attempted to seal them both. The good one still seals in the other lid, and the bad one still doesn't, so I was able to determine the issue was with the valve and not the lid. I contacted that manufacturer, and they immediately sent out another valve and emailed me a tracking #. It'll come next week. Updated: 09-Sep-2018 Re: Above. The manufacturer sent me two valves. One is in use and works perfectly, like the rest of them. The other is stored in case I need it. I tested these enough that I've ordered a 2nd set, which are also performing well. These are probably the best thing I've bought in a while. Note to Manufacturer: I don't understand the purpose of the lid latches. They're not needed. They wear out easily (I have one that has split and on the round containers, one that broke off right away). It's not an issue since they're simply not needed - why are they there? My suggestion would be to remove them, or come up with something different if people want to use the containers without the vacuum. These keep their 5-star rating.

This is a small company which is great, love helping small companies thrive! The product is good quality, unique seal etc. The issue I have is that I am a quick on the go set it and forget it guy. The only way to get a seal that works great is the manual handheld vacuum. I am not a fan of this. I tried foodsaver - doesn't work at all. I am not using Vakuum and it seems to work 80% of the time. This is a revolutionary tupperware related dishware that can go places, The seal is a little less than expected and I have found over a couple of days that the seal loses its impact regardless of sealer used. Just be aware that although this is a great product, it is not advertised as automatic sealer compatible.

I have an older set of Lasting Freshness containers (the pink seals) for almost 10 years now. I ordered a set with the new seal design and the green seals but returned it because it is not pumping out the air. I was very disappointed until I read an review about "push the blunt end of the toothpick to the center nipple/pull". I did that with one container of my set and, by George, it works. However, I noticed that in order to really pump the air out, you need to take the pump and push down first, the pump should be easy to pump (if not, try pushing it down), no need to pump too much, and it works great. I intentionally not close the claps to double-check the air pump. I have a container properly pumped and sealed in the fridge for about one week now; and the seal is still holding well. I have not tried these in the freezer or dishwasher (prefer hand wash). Even with arthritis on my fingers, the air pump is easy to use and the claps are easy to open/close. Great value as I purchased them during Cyber Monday. Love the various sizes in this set and they nest well to save much cabinet space. Thank you, Amazon.

Bought this same set a few years ago and they worked great. For some unknown reason my wife decided to donate few of the containers to Goodwill without my knowledge. Begrudgingly I ordered a replacement set. At least two of the new containers do not hold a seal. It's very annoying to open the refrigerator and see the lid bulging up on these containers indicating that the seal has been lost. Like a lot of products these days the it seems that quality on these containers has declined while the price has gone up. At least some lucky Goodwill shopper out there probably scored my old ones that actually worked for $1.

I love these. I am diabetic. My biggest problem with eating was my vegetables were going bad before I had the chance to use them. We live in a small village and we do have a mom and pop grocery store with a small selection of vegetables so yes I could go every day and shop there for my veggies. But like I said, a small selection. Supermarkets are 20-25 miles away. So after buying this set I went and shopped veggies. Washed and dried the veggies and choose a container to put them in. That was last week Monday. As you can see in the pics my veggies are still fresh in my fridge. The bottom middle is strawberries. Just washed and patted dry and placed in the container. Still fresh. So yesterday my bowls came, and my canisters are coming by the end of the week. You get a pump with each set so they can be placed in convenient areas to be handy when needed to reseal a container. Don’t have to drag out the ol’ seal a meal pump to reseal the container. I am happy that I am able to eat better. Saving money. I may have to call customer service to replace one seal. When I opened my snap peas there was no suction release so we will see how customer service is and I will update. My one and only gripe is the buckles. I cannot open them with my fingers after the seal is released. My fingers are 74+ years old and don’t like the prying action. So I use a fork handle to pop those babies open. Being careful, of course, not to get that fork up too high into the buckle and touching the silicone gasket. Buy these if you are looking for better food storage. You won’t regret it.

Not worth the money. Don’t seal properly. Doesn’t suction out the air as advertised. And one of the small lids broke when clicking onto container. I put cabbage in the larger container and it’s gone brown within 2 days. I would NOT buy this product again.

Good product, easy to use Keep the food fresh longer

Best product I have found to keep veggies, fruits & bread fresher longer. This is the 5th type I have purchased in the last 6 months and this one really works. Worth the price. 👍👍

Buy it if you’re a fan of miniature containers. The pictures are misleading and the containers can barely fit one chopped cucumber. Also, 9 pieces is not 9 containers: the lid is counted as 1 piece. So it’s 4 tiny containers in total for 4 tiny cucumbers.
