"Reducing Food Waste" star star star star star I have had a FoodSaver for several years. My original one died on me last year. I immediately bought a new one and came across these containers, they are easier to store in the fridge than the previous cylindrical type. I buy prepared fruit a lot and can say that they keep the fresh produce good for longer than keeping in standard containers. I have on a couple of occasions, forgotten to vacuum the containers and the food has still kept better than standard dishes with lids.
"Hit and miss" star star star star_border star_border I have the full Foodsaver vacuum sealer with rolls to cut to size which is great. Bought the hand held vacuum and the original square containers which were a nightmare to seal (and the zipper bags, despite claims, are not 100% reusable - losing vacuum after one wash) I was pleased to see these and was sure they could only be an improvement over the originals. And they are - but only an improvement. Yesterday I sealed both - one is fine - the other obviously letting air in. I wash the lids carefully and dry them thoroughly - and I’m sure it will work again - just don’t want to have to check! support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review and for speaking to us about this. We're sorry to hear of your experience with FoodSaver items but we're glad that the container seems to be working correctly now. If there's any further issues, please just let us know and we'll be happy to help.
"Great when they work" star star star star_border star_border I would love to give this product a 5 star review, as they are superb to use, they genuinely keep fruit and veg fresh for a week or more. Our breakfast berries are as fresh at the end of the week as the day we bought them, with no signed of shrinkage at all. The problem is the tiny gasket that keeps the seal inside the lid. It is not easy to see them in the lid because of the colour and not easy to see that they have gone missing down the plug hole when washing. They should come with a set of replacements with the product. Lakeland have replaced one set, but now 2 more have lost their gaskets support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review. We're sorry that this isn't a spare part we stock but we've passed the suggestion along to our team.
