Not durable -from drop -from microwave
After owning this for about a year, I've had 2 break from a drop at waist height, about 3', with food in them. The container shattered at the corner of impact, 1 lid popped off after impact, but neither lids broke.I've also noticed white bubbles have formed on the bottom of the containers. I thought it might have been hard water dried onto the container, so I gave it another wash. The white color would go away, but I realized there were actually small indentations. Since these formed only on the bottom of a handful of containers, I'm assuming it's from overheating food and may have scorched the plastic as a result.Other comments, despite my dissatisfaction about the microwave burns, the shape of the containers haven't deformed. Lids have not proved to be leak proof in my use and sauces get stuck near the lip of the container so when you open it, the liquids drip onto the counter and I have to wipe up the channel around the lid that's supposed to make it leak proof.I still use the remaining 8 containers every now and then, but mainly switched to other containers (alternating between glass Pyrex and plastic Rubbermaid). These containers will do the job, nice to have a separate compartment, but after using these for a year, I don't feel like they are durable enough to last a few more years and seems wasteful if they don't last.

Convenient, sturdy and good price.
Sturdy. Glad I happened to pick this "model" with "AIRTIGHT" as also one that is not and recommended to not use liquids. I love sauces and butter, etc! These lids are snug. Cheap enough that if you lose one you aren't upset. They seem a little small but this could be an advantage in terms of calorie restrictor!It took me a long time to try to decide...2 compartment? 3? 1? I wish they sold an "assorted pack". I don't really want 30 in total but sometimes want a starch, veggie and entrée or perhaps it is stew and just need 1. I also wouldn't mind a "family pack" one in that assortment for when I want to share with coworkers!This size is very nice for packing in little pouch with ice pack. Very handy and convenient. I am trying now, for example, roast like 3 lbs of carrots or Cal Medley and fill one side and freeze and when cook an entrée ( roast) or something later...add later.

Great for meal preparation and portion control!
I had one goal for this month - to have at least three meals each day that had both a protein and a produce. These little containers were exactly what I was looking for, and at a great price.I was able to easily prepare and store three days of meals at a time, and just reach into the fridge and pop into the microwave as needed. They are well made, dishwasher and freezer safe, and stack nicely.I noted that some people complained the compartments were too small, but one of my main goals is portion control so these were more than big enough.The containers shipped very quickly, were packaged well, and arrived undamaged. I suspect I will be ordering an additional set or two in the near future, so that I can prepare more than three days' worth of meals at one time.Note: I received this item at a discount in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my opinion or review in any way.

Seems fine, five lids arrived chipped/cracked
I don't mean to leave a negative review first, but I'm having trouble finding out how to contact the seller directly. Would love to simply exchange out my unusable lids for new ones instead of trying to get a refund.As many other reviewers have noted, some of mine arrived cracked. I even recorded me opening the box because I knew there was a chance. At first glance, all seemed fine, but when I actually went to open this package later, I realized five of my lids were chipped/cracked at an end. I somehow missed this with my initial first past using my eyes, but looking at my recording I can clearly see the lips in this condition.My actual containers seem fine. They're much deeper than I anticipated; I could honestly use these as cereal bowls with a side of yogurt or something. I'll be able to do a proper review once I get a chance to use the remaining ones. Will leave as 2 stars until I exchange the lids.EDIT: I've been using these a lot now and I honestly love them, though I still have 5 chipped lids. Actually, correction: 6. I took one on a small road trip with me. It survived the drive, but not my mother washing it. Cracked lid. =/ So, I have 4 usable lids and 10 usable containers. BUT, the containers are still nice. I want to up the rating because the ones I get to use are fine, but the lids are just super brittle apparently.

Decent containers. Wash by hand though to extend life.
I use these for planning my meals every week now that I use weight watchers and abide by the smart point system. I took off a star because once through the dishwasher, I notice the tops are chipping. The seal is still complete but the sides are starting to wear. Now, I just hand wash them, so that should extend their life. I don't microwave them either for the same reason. I wish they had a more reassuring seal like a good snap because if they're a little too full they don't hold their seal too well. I guess that's portion control though! I haven't frozen them but I do use them everyday. I wouldn't trust them with liquids upside down or anything but they serve their purpose well enough.

Good for the price, show signs of wear a little early.
I got these on a deal and they work well but didn't hold up as nicely in the dishwasher as I would have expected. After a few washes some have become a little bit warped and get a bit of that white worn out texture on the inside you see in plastic containers. They still nest and seal ok so it wasn't that big of a deal, given the price this wasn't a huge let down. There are two things I look for in a plastic container, and those are a low price and something that can be washed without being destroyed. This was basically 1.5 for 2. Not great but I would still say they are worth the low cost.
