Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Food Storage Containers, Racer Red, Set of 24 7J98

EDIT 4/2014: Updated sets and quantity data below; they had changed in the four years since I wrote this review. My containers are still going strong, though!I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love this set will tell you that.So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.----------60 piece set (30 containers, 30 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)5 x 2 cups (473 mL)5 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)2 x 9 cups (2.1 Liter)1 x 14 cups (3.3 Liter)----------50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)5 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 9 cups (2.1 Liter)----------48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 14 cups (3.3 Liter)----------42 piece set (21 containers, 21 lids)4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)4 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)5 x 2 cups (473 mL)4 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - Walmart only?)5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)1 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------34 piece set (17 containers, 17 lids):4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1200 mL)1 x 7 cups (1700 mL)----------30 piece set (15 containers, 15 lids):5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)3 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1200 mL)1 x 7 cups (1700 mL)----------28 piece set (14 containers, 14 lids):5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)3 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)1 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)1 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)----------One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.Here's some comparison data for all the sets put together, with additional data for 2x28 piece, 2x24 piece, and 2x18 piece sets:1x60 piece set = 60 pieces: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 5x2, 5x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x9, 1x142x28 piece set = 56 pieces: 10x0.5, 6x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 4x5, 2x71x50 piece set = 50 pieces: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 5x3, 3x5, 2x7, 1x91x48 piece set = 48 pieces: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 1x142x24 piece set = 48 pieces: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x71x42 piece set = 42 pieces: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 5x2, 4x3, 2x5, 2x71x40 piece set = 40 pieces: 5x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 2x5, 2x72x18 piece set = 36 pieces: 6x0.5, 4x1.25, 2x2, 4x3, 2x51x36 piece set = 36 pieces: 4x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 2x5, 1x71x34 piece set = 34 pieces: 4x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x30 piece set = 30 pieces: 5x0.5, 3x1.25, 3x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x28 piece set = 28 pieces: 5x0.5, 3x1.25, 2x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x24 piece set = 24 pieces: 2x0.5, 2x1.25, 2x2, 2x3, 2x5, 2x71x18 piece set = 18 pieces: 3x0.5, 2x1.25, 1x2, 2x3, 1x5

I was really in need for some lunch containers after my tupperware wore out on me. I expected less than sub par quality because of the price of these containers, but boy was I surprised. I like that all of the containers and lids fit within each other. there is no way to lose any of the pieces. I like how there is a tight air seal on these containers. my Tupperware never had that. Overall these are very nice containers for the price, and I am now happy to pack my lunch for work again. I like the combo of sizes as well. there is sandwich size, fruit bowl size, and apple slice size. I just love these containers so much. I just hope they will not discolor when reheating red sauced foods (I have not tried yet). but for the price I would not be mad if they do. Honestly this set cost me the price of one Tupperware container. Amaazing!

One of the main reasons I decided to buy this plastic container set is because (voila) it is BPA Free. Definitely important to me, as I already have plenty of plastic containers at home I intend to eventually toss and thought a matching set would be nicer.I deducted a star because I was slightly dissapointed at the fact that there are so many SMALLER containers in this set that really couldn't fit much expect spices, etc...this could possibly be good for people with smaller babies, or elderly or pets who need pureed food in small amounts. Nice and convenient.Overall I like this set and would recommend it for purchase to others, as long as you read (didn't do this myself) beforehand, the sizes of containers that are included in this box.The containers stack nicely as well as the lids. We are a family of 5, and yet I don't know if someone actually needs this much tupperware out at once? (particularly with the smaller containers).Bottom line, if you need new tupperware, this is a nice price to get BPA Free tupperware at (got free shipping and paid $10.47)

The Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers are highly recommended. We particularly like the way the lids stack together and fit multiple container sizes. We've had 2 other less expensive sets by Glad and ?? which are very inferior. We donated them to Goodwill.We find we use the 2 and 3 cup containers the most. We seldom use the .5 or 1.25 cup containers.This is our second set of 24 Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers. We've enjoyed the first set of 24 so well, we ordered a second set. We like the 24 quantity set over the other options as it has an additional 2 cup container which we use frequently. Also, 2 of the 24 container sets are less expensive than a 48 or 50 container set.Another reviewer posted the following which is extremely helpful in understanding the differences between the various sets.50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)----------48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)----------40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)5 x 2 cup (473 mL)4 x 3 cup (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)1 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)----------

My wife and I have always been unintentional collectors of food storage containers. They find their way to our house without us purchasing them (leftovers, parties, etc.), and we are re-users so we would continually add them to our collection. After years of this practice, our cabinets were overrun with containers of all different bands and sizes, stacked haphazardly, many missing lids. It would take a long time to find the right size and then track down a lid, and if any guests asked for their container back, we had no hope of distinguishing ours from theirs.Enter the Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Food Storage Container Set. We recycled all of our old containers, and consolidated from two whole cabinets down to a single shelf in a single cabinet. Now we can immediately find the appropriate size container with matching lid, and if a guest leaves behind a foreign container we either recycle it or know who to return it to. The 24-piece set has a great variety of sizes, and there's never been an instance of us needing an additional container. My only complaint is that the lids can be difficult to click into each other when stacking, but all of the pros far outweigh this one con. I can't believe we went for so long without these!

I purchased these to replace some shoddier storage containers I've had for a few years. I wanted something affordable, durable, and easy to store (tired of digging through a pile of lids whose matching containers may or may not still be around). This Rubbermaid set fit the bill. The plastic is pretty darn sturdy and I haven't had any issues with reheated food staining it, or the plastic "bubbling up." You can either attach the lids to the bottom of their matching containers, or stack all the interlocking lids together. I chose the latter as it keeps everything neat in the cupboard and takes up less space. The lids seal very well and are easy to put on and take off. As with most kitchen items, the advertised "24 pieces" counts the lids, so you get 12 containers. Being a storage freak I almost went with a higher quantity set, but decided we didn't need 25 containers for two people. I am pleased with this purchase.

This is a very good deal for what you are getting. The plastic is nice and thick so it just makes you feel good about putting your food in it. I admit that I do not really use the stacking feature, but if you choose to it really is convenient and tidy. It comes with two substantially sized containers for your larger leftovers, and the rest are big enough to hold a good amount of food.In others words you are not getting ripped off, you are actually getting a great deal. These are not skimpily sized containers like you will find in some other sets, and the BPA free thick plastic makes this a good choice.PLEASE DO REALIZE though, that this is a actually a 12 container set. If you have never bought tupperware before you might not know this. Its 24 peices... when you include the tops.

I had my eye on this set for several months, but kept convincing myself that I didn't need more plastic containers cluttering up my cupboards. But when it finally hit a price point that I couldn't pass up, I bought it. The first thing I did though was throw away (actually recycle) all of the old, mismatched, stained and overused containers we had. I figured if I started out fresh that it would make it easier.Now that I've had a chance to use this set I am very happy I bought them. The sizes are perfect for our leftovers or lunches. They're clear instead of being opaque like some containers, so it's easy to see what you're grabbing out of the fridge and also no more hunting for the right lid, as they snap on the bottom when stored. In buying these I have actually freed up one entire shelf in my cupboard which was another bonus! (More room for me to put all my other purchases) One last thing to note is that this set is BPA free.

Durable, nontoxic-- made in the States (not made in China). Great assortment of sizes; great in dishwasher, for freezing, micro or just storing food! Lifetime warranty too-- not cheap I'll admit, but you'll never have replace them and you have the added peace of mind knowing your food isn’t being exposed to any nasty toxic chemicals! That equals good value to my mind-- shipped quickly and was well packaged too. Would definitely purchase again!

These are my favourite containers because of their easy find lids. They are microwave safe, but if you need to heat something for a long time, I recommend transferring to a glass bowl instead. They will get melted parts

Potes de excelente qualidade, realmente muito bons. Porem a propaganda é enganosa, não são 24 potes como a anúncio nos faz pensar, nessa conta eles incluem as TAMPAS também, ou seja, são 12 potes!!

Já conhecia os potes. Comprei mais. São de excelente qualidade e muito duráveis.

Arrived quickly. Supplemented my existing Rubbermaid easy find lid set.
