Lids too fragile.
They look like they’d be perfect until the lid snaps and you can’t buy replacement lids. Definitely keep looking.

Disappointed in the material of product
I have purchased several of these containers and have thrown several of them away due to cracks in the material. I emailed Rubbermaid which said they are not to be used for hot liquids but they are microwavable use. I was using these products as meal preps to take for lunches because the liquids stays inside the product with no spillage. After several times of use the bottom of the product ends up cracking. I like the design, how the food stays sealed, how transparent and the capacity of the product but I don't like how the product becomes defective.

Organized Pantry
Where can I purchase more of these? I love this container. I need more for my cereals, grains, baking goods and so much more. It makes my pantry look amazing.

Love this
I just love l9vevth8s cereal keeper. It keeps my cereal crispy and fresh. Once closed properly my cereal stays fresh longer. It hold way more than the small one I use to buy.. easy to clean

Great until it ain't.
The glass container is fantastic but the lids are horrible and inconsistent. I had one break the corner off the second time I went use it. Others had the seal leak, one had the seal crack early on. I have not been able to find replacement lids. This makes the container useless pretty quick.

Very convenient little containers
These are durable and well made. Ideal for storing small amounts of food. I.use them to store small amounts of salsa and then freeze it.

Love these!
I bought these 3 years ago and they’re still perfect. They don’t stain. I wash them in top rack of the dishwasher and the larger containers by hand that don’t easily fit on the top rack. Treat them well and they’ll stay clear. Love them & replaced all my red top Rubbermaid & Tupperware with them. Plus made in the U.S. wish the 19.9 cup was still made though.

Can't Get the Lid Off :( :( :( :(
I bought a set of these for my dad several months ago. However, I don't keep my receipts for things like this. It worked fine... until it didn't. Now the lid refuses to come off. My dad is in his 80's. I finally got the lid off. The lid LOOKS fine. I put it back on and sealed it, and once again, the lid won't come off. I put the lid on the other container, and confirmed that the problem is the lid, not the container. I came to the website to see if they could give me a replacement (at least the lid), but their warranty program requires a receipt. Sigh. I cannot recommend these.

Junk
I was fortunate, the first cracked container was under warranty and was replaced. The next 3 had to be tossed. Good looking container. Very nice lid seals well. But every remaining container has cracks in it. Literally, every single one of them. Rubbermaid knows they are junk. Just look at the warranty, "please reach out to us within 120 days from the date of purchase."

the lid holds smell. Wow:(
I purchased this awhile ago. I just used a few wks approx 3. I put chopped onion in and stored. It is 5/18/25 and the smell from the lid is Wow!:( I've tried everything to rid the smell. Dishwasher. Stored in large zip lock bag w/ dawn dish detergent w/ baking soda & hot water, vinegar "soak for wks." It still smells. My dishwasher even smelled for a minute. I never expected this. So, don't store onions in the container. I am thinking I will end up tossing the lid, sadly.

Cracked, cloudy, NOT Brilliant
I bought a couple sets of the Brilliance plastic. Within a year, most are cloudy looking, and or are cracking all over. For the cost, these should last for several years, not just one year or less. We have soft water, and top rack in the dish washer. Extremely disappointed in having to replace them already. I'm going to have to find a different company's product as I don't believe in Rubbermaid now.

They don’t last long
They are nice; however they don’t last more than 6 months. They crack, I wanted to switch to glass but I’m afraid if I microwave it, it will be too hot to touch.

Compromises for top dollar; still easy to love
I agree with the current AI-generated review. These have so far been the BEST containers I've ever found, and that's why I'm here buying more. Their stackability is outstanding and the empty ones are very convenient to organize. But, the 100% leak-proof claim is just false: don't ever put soup in one and throw it in your backpack. And the lids do mysteriously crack, not sure what the reason: dishwasher, freezer? I've found staining to be close to none. Conclusions: (1) Surrender to some wear, tear, and replacement. (2) The leak-proof is just mid. (3) Expect them overpriced but above average. (4) If you're ok with all that, the plastic Brilliance collection is very easy to like, maybe even love. Food containers are the armpit of every kitchen: everyone has them and they're not the most pleasant feature. But at some point, it's nice to have ones you never regret. I'd pay a premium for that! I thought these would be them, but while the price is premium, the product is not quite.

Cracks
I was so excited to replace all my containers with these. THEN, half of them started cracking, exactly like some of the pictures that were shown. Very disappointed.
