		<description>These containers beat its rival anyday.  You don&#039;t even need to use the pump to get a tight seal; press down on the valve in the middle of the lid and a stronger suction binds around the rubber seals.  This valve also acts as a steam releaser for foods in the microwave. Despite the clamps on the side these lids do not come off easily and take quite a punch for those who use them everyday.  The lids are water tight
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;ve used these for my lunch soups and for freezing larger left-overs.  The plastic does not retain the smell of the food and they are easy to clean.  Mine go from microwave to refrigerator or freezer within a few hours. (Just make sure you don&#039;t microwave for longer than three minutes as that will ruin the rubber seals over time.)  They are also dishwasher safe.  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Make sure the rubber seals are kept clean.  The heavy containers will withstand quite a bit and are stackable. Unlike the brand with the &quot;burpable&quot; lids these do hold up to wear and tear well.

		<description>I&#039;m interested in vacuum stored food because oxygen causes spoilage both at room temperature as well as in the freezer.  This review is about storing food in a partial vacuum at room temperature or refrgerated using the Zevro Food Storage Containers.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Let me break it down as follows.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Pros:
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Containers are made from heavy-duty plastic with 4 hinged snap-down buckles
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Gasket is silicone
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Forms a partial vacuum that reduces the amount of oxygen
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Cons:
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; One container (the second largest - Argh!!!) won&#039;t hold a seal
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Pump has a cheap feel
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Too many small containers and not enogh larger one&#039;s
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Way too expensive at the current price
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Why is everything pink?
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Plastic is touching your food at all times
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Given that the first container I used didn&#039;t hold a vacuum, I tested the other seven and they all passed.  On the defective lid I can clearly hear the air leaking back in through the pink nipple.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;If you get these, check their seals upon receipt.  I wish I had done that before I threw the box out because I can&#039;t get service under the 90 day warranty.  In retrospect, I am much happier with my Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids -- even if they aren&#039;t vacuum sealed.  Another item I like better is the Vacu Vin 2977450 2-1/2-Quart Instant Marinating Container which is far superior in quality and construction materials.

&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Too many small containers and not enogh larger one&#039;s
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Way too expensive at the current price
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Why is everything pink?
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Plastic is touching your food at all times
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Given that the first container I used didn&#039;t hold a vacuum, I tested the other seven and they all passed.  On the defective lid I can clearly hear the air leaking back in through the pink nipple.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;If you get these, check their seals upon receipt.  I wish I had done that before I threw the box out because I can&#039;t get service under the 90 day warranty.  In retrospect, I am much happier with my Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids -- even if they aren&#039;t vacuum sealed.  Another item I like better is the Vacu Vin 2977450 2-1/2-Quart Instant Marinating Container which is far superior in quality and construction materials.

		<description>These containers beat its rival anyday.  You don&#039;t even need to use the pump to get a tight seal; press down on the valve in the middle of the lid and a stronger suction binds around the rubber seals.  This valve also acts as a steam releaser for foods in the microwave. Despite the clamps on the side these lids do not come off easily and take quite a punch for those who use them everyday.  The lids are water tight
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;ve used these for my lunch soups and for freezing larger left-overs.  The plastic does not retain the smell of the food and they are easy to clean.  Mine go from microwave to refrigerator or freezer within a few hours. (Just make sure you don&#039;t microwave for longer than three minutes as that will ruin the rubber seals over time.)  They are also dishwasher safe.  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Make sure the rubber seals are kept clean.  The heavy containers will withstand quite a bit and are stackable. Unlike the brand with the &quot;burpable&quot; lids these do hold up to wear and tear well.

		<description>I&#039;m interested in vacuum stored food because oxygen causes spoilage both at room temperature as well as in the freezer.  This review is about storing food in a partial vacuum at room temperature or refrgerated using the Zevro Food Storage Containers.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Let me break it down as follows.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Pros:
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Containers are made from heavy-duty plastic with 4 hinged snap-down buckles
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Gasket is silicone
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Forms a partial vacuum that reduces the amount of oxygen
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Cons:
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; One container (the second largest - Argh!!!) won&#039;t hold a seal
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Pump has a cheap feel
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Too many small containers and not enogh larger one&#039;s
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Way too expensive at the current price
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Why is everything pink?
&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt; Plastic is touching your food at all times
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Given that the first container I used didn&#039;t hold a vacuum, I tested the other seven and they all passed.  On the defective lid I can clearly hear the air leaking back in through the pink nipple.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;If you get these, check their seals upon receipt.  I wish I had done that before I threw the box out because I can&#039;t get service under the 90 day warranty.  In retrospect, I am much happier with my Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids -- even if they aren&#039;t vacuum sealed.  Another item I like better is the Vacu Vin 2977450 2-1/2-Quart Instant Marinating Container which is far superior in quality and construction materials.
