They’re pretty good, and I would have given them four stars, but what I don’t like about them is that when you microwave tomato sauce or ramen noodle soup or anything like that in these containers, they seem to become damaged. They get this white film on them in the inside, and its almost like they burn a little bit or something like that and become permanently damaged. Its a little hard to describe, so I included a picture. I haven’t abused these things in any way. A few minutes in the microwave shouldnt be too much punishment for these things to bear, I wouldnt think (it looks dirty in the picture but its not and i’ve scraped at them so its obvious that its like, melted, into the plastic or something) Other than that, they’re pretty good. You just sorta have to watch what you microwave in these things, which defeats the purpose somewhat right? I mean, if you’re putting leftovers in here, or taking them to work, you’re more than likely going to want to pull the lid off and stick it in the microwave right? Anyway, they’re alright otherwise.

They were ok, some were a little smaller than I expected…

I purchased my first set of these almost exactly a year ago and have just purchased another set (i love when they have them on sale). There weren’t as many reviews on them the first time I purchased them but after a year of use I feel like I should leave a review as well.

Overall I give them four out of five stars for the following:
Pros
– Price
– the lids snap together
– no leaks
– you can freeze, microwave, and wash them in the dishwasher
– made in the usa

Cons
– you can’t microwave the lid without it warping somewhat
– when dropped I have had edges break off
– they stain rather easily and I have had some of the actual containers melt/plastic bubble

They store food relatively well and despite a few flaws (that you’d expect with any set of plastic storage- if you don’t want staining/occasional melting problems I would suggest paying the 3x more for a glass set) I’ve only had to throw out maybe three of them. Ultimately for the price I think they are a pretty decent plastic storage set, which is why I’ve ordered a second set while on sale. I can’t imagine you’d expect these to be super fantastic end-all be-all storage containers (especially for the reasonable price) but I do think they work well for my family and make it super easy to freeze lunches for my husband or store leftovers.

EDIT 4/2014: Updated sets and quantity data below; they had changed in the four years since I wrote this review (published on a different set). 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.

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 2×28 piece, 2×24 piece, and 2×18 piece sets:
1×60 piece set = 60 pieces: 6×0.5, 6×1.25, 5×2, 5×3, 3×5, 2×7, 2×9, 1×14
2×28 piece set = 56 pieces: 10×0.5, 6×1.25, 4×2, 2×3, 4×5, 2×7
1×50 piece set = 50 pieces: 6×0.5, 6×1.25, 3×2, 5×3, 3×5, 2×7, 1×9
1×48 piece set = 48 pieces: 6×0.5, 5×1.25, 3×2, 3×3, 3×5, 2×7, 1×14
2×24 piece set = 48 pieces: 4×0.5, 4×1.25, 4×2, 4×3, 4×5, 4×7
1×42 piece set = 42 pieces: 4×0.5, 4×1.25, 5×2, 4×3, 2×5, 2×7
1×40 piece set = 40 pieces: 5×0.5, 5×1.25, 4×2, 2×3, 2×5, 2×7
2×18 piece set = 36 pieces: 6×0.5, 4×1.25, 2×2, 4×3, 2×5
1×36 piece set = 36 pieces: 4×0.5, 5×1.25, 4×2, 2×3, 2×5, 1×7
1×34 piece set = 34 pieces: 4×0.5, 5×1.25, 4×2, 1×3, 2×5, 1×7
1×30 piece set = 30 pieces: 5×0.5, 3×1.25, 3×2, 1×3, 2×5, 1×7
1×28 piece set = 28 pieces: 5×0.5, 3×1.25, 2×2, 1×3, 2×5, 1×7
1×24 piece set = 24 pieces: 2×0.5, 2×1.25, 2×2, 2×3, 2×5, 2×7
1×18 piece set = 18 pieces: 3×0.5, 2×1.25, 1×2, 2×3, 1×5

If I could rate these lower, I would.

I purchased a set of these five years ago that were phenomenal. Sadly, half of the set was in our picnic basket when it was stolen a week ago, so I found myself in need of a new set. On the surface, everything looked the same except that the new lids were a brighter shade of red.

In practice? These are a nightmare.

30 seconds in the microwave, and they melt and warp. Placing a lid on the container while food is still warm results in the container melting and warping. I tested several sized containers in the set and got the same results– my countertop is full of Salvador Dali-esque melted rubbermaid containers like some bizarre art exhibit. These containers are such a disappointment now– especially since they used to be so wonderful!
