Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry 18 Cup Cereal Keeper: Clear Plastic Food Storage Container, Dishwasher & Freezer Safe

The plaric lids crack and can't be replaced. What the heck is the reasoning behind this?

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.

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.

I have bought two sets of these and the plastic lids keep cracking. There are no replacement lids offered by Rubbermaid.

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.

The way this is designed, the lid comes off as you pour out the cereal! I bought this so my kids could get cereal for themselves, but it just makes a huge mess. We end up taking the whole lid off. I wish they had kept the older design since you have to remove the whole lid on that style as well. Would return if I could.

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.

the only issue I have is that the lids crack and become unusable. we love the containers but the lids are a definite problem. fix it

These are great! I bought 4 to hold various cereal/crackers/snacks. The lids come off & clip back on easily. They were delivered in a large box filled with other things I ordered which were banging into each other so I can vouch that they are pretty durable. FYI- if you are buying these to hold 32-36 oz bags of cereal, I found that they hold sliiightly less than a 32 oz bag. Overall, I’m very happy with these & would buy more in the future.

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.

I have a ocmplete set of Brillliance and they are great. They are so air tight that there is a bit of a learning curve to open them easily. After just a little practice, it is easy and well worth it as these containers keep foods fresh so much longer. They do NOT leak if you put the lids on correctly. Dishwasher (top rack) safe.

I love them! Things last longer in them and if they get tipped, my fridge isn’t a mess!

The lids are super tight so no spilling! They create a very firm seal so I don't worry about leaking.

Won these as a white elephant gift for Christmas and we didn't think much of them, until we tried them for the first time and I love the quality of them! They have good suction and the locks are sturdy; very durable.

Impossible to open the locking latch lid!!! I am 68 yr old female/not a body builder!!!

Love these glass containers! Easy to pack..airtight cover...food stays fresh! Easy to transport and no harmful plastic.. I dropped this product twice...didn't break..incredibly durable and seems unbreakable...I did so much homework on glass storage and this product did not disappoint A++++++++

One of the best food storage containers yet!!! I’m loving these…..only wish they had more size selection. Thanks Rubbermaid, you’ve done it again…..with “Brilliance”

We use this stuff every day - I have no idea what people are talking about.. My stuff is not cracked etc etc - its simply amazing. Best Ever !!

The cereal pouring side rubber degrades after couple of use and it opens up everything while pouring. Bad bad design

Lids are cracking. I purchased the medium, small, and sugar containers. Rubbermaid replaced the lid of medium container once. Recently, I bought more containers to give them another try, and I also intended to give some as gifts. However, the small 1.3-cup container developed ridges and its lid as well as medium size cracked. I'm not sure if the containers I gave as gifts also cracked. I'm very frustrated because I was hoping these would be durable storage containers for the long term. The manufacturer has been aware of this issue for years, yet they continue to sell poor-quality products to unsuspecting consumers. It seems that Rubbermaid is making a significant profit, with no incentive to provide customers with a reliable product.
