Let’s start with the cons, there aren’t many: these aren’t worth $70, these are like snap fit containers. They leave large gaps between them wasting probably 1/4th of yourself space which you’ll could fill with little things like seasoning envelopes but you will get a very cluttered look, alternatively if you’re physically impaired this may be a pro as it makes taking the thing off the shelf very easy and third they’re quite difficult to pull apart when you receive them to the point it has an instructional video, which I didn’t look at, but all the videos in the world won’t help if you don’t have the hand strength to pull them apart - not good for the elderly or physically impaired. Otherwise I think they’re fabulous, they’re neat, clean, feel good in your hand, look nice, I like that you can put the label where you want so I placed mine if the side for my kids but where I don’t have to see them looking cluttered because I know what everything is. The tops seal easily and well and even with physical impairment or lack of hand strength would be relatively easy to open, none of mine were missing seals. Definitely worth a look if you want to drop $70 on some tall snap wear but the $50 price point is where it should be.
I love this set. I did a ton of research before deciding on this set. I was super excited about it. I was looking at their smaller set of 6 but then would need at least 2 packs. At that point it was only 2 dollars more to get the 28 piece vs 12. So I was super happy and impressed. When I got these one lid was broken but I contacted their support and they emailed me right away and said they would send a new one. Awesome customer service for sure. I love the set.
I have been using them for a few weeks now and LOVE THEM!! They make my pantry and cupboards look so much better and they are so organized now. I have already ordered 2 more sets! When I received my order and one of the containers was broken. I emailed the company directly because that is what the letter that comes with the containers asks you to do. They were fantastic. It did take a couple of days for them to get back to me but they are a small business and I think it was within reason. They were super easy to work with and got me another set of containers right away. I promise you will be satisfied with your purchase.
Wanted to love these so much after reading all of the reviews but received the box and the seal was broken..1st red flag but I thought, if nothing’s damaged we’ll be ok! Wrong! Opened the box and 6 bundles were of the exact same size!! Someone played switcharoo with these and here I am. Heading right to return these and go with the original brand I wanted. Dang, was looking forward to loving these in my new pantry!!
I've never been a fan of storage systems, but when we remodeled the pantry I wanted better organization and a way to make it easier to find things. This system fit the bill. Pasta, grains, baking supplies, snacks, and more are now neatly tucked into place and labeled.
This system comes with labels and a marker. I haven't tried to wipe off the writing and change it, so I can't comment on that. The one thing I would have liked in this system is four larger containers with flip-top lids for cereals. I can buy them separately, so it's not that big of deal, but the largest containers in this system aren't enough to hold a full box of cereal and, without a flip-top lid, it might be a messy adventure to pour out of.
Still love everything about this set and am glad I made the decision to go with it.
I got the big set, when I unpackaged it, my heart sank at the thought of washing and drying all of these. I have a portable dishwasher and would've only been able to fit half and not the tall containers in at a time. So I handwashed them all which got rid of the plastic smell, and then hand dried them because I didn't have room to have them covering every inch of counter space for the next 4 days to dry. This involved 3 thick dish towels and several paper towels.
Finally it came time to fill them! I started with my baking cupboard - standard above the sink size with a shelf in the middle. Tall ones didn't fit standing up and BARELY FIT on their side (makes the cupboard door hang open about 1 mm). They are awkward on their side because of their odd tapered shape and bulky lids.
I've never liked the 4 snap lids but sometimes you make adjustments for organization's sake. Some sizing findings- I fit two bags of brown sugar in one tall container. I fit one jumbo and half a regular bag of chocolate chips in a second smallest container. A 3lb bag of sugar almost fit in a tall one. a standard box of corn starch that was 1/4 used barely fit in a small one. I transferred as much as I could from my baking cupboard, then moved on to my snack cupboard, and then miscellaneous cupboard. I had 5 containers of various sizes left over and that was after using 2 small ones without lids to organize some of my silicone stretch lids and reusable ziplock bags.
As expected, these were terrible to dry. Even after leaving out and then hand drying with a towel and then paper towel, water gets in/around/under the silicone ring in the lid no matter what. That's a major flaw and is going to create mold/mildew.
The shape works depending on your cabinet height and depth.
The stickers and marker work OK but the marker takes forever to dry and mine smudged easily unless I let it sit 5+ minutes before peeling up and applying.
PROS: Can only help organization. Secure and air tight. Comes with everything you need but no extra labels.
CONS: shape is odd, drying is a problem, moisture in the lids is a problem, they are not 100% recycled materials, and they come with an insane amount of plastic waste for packaging. Every single container is wrapped in plastic, the marker and measuring cups is wrapped in non-recyclable plastic, as is every individual sheet of labels! This is not necessary and counter-productive.
