Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry 12.0-Cup Container

I specifically purchased this particular container because I was looking for something that would hold my ground coffee and keep it airtight. I like to buy affordable coffee or coffee on clearance and mix them together to have a blend just for me to use for my hot and iced coffee. It cleaned so beautifully when I received it and it tried so well. I was able to mix three different types of coffee in which the seal is incredible. You can hear the seal on it and then just the handles on the side to close it up all the way it's just when I need to keep my coffee fresh. As I continue to look for more affordable or even clearance coffee, I want to mix them in this container to keep my coffee fresh as well as enjoying the different blends of coffee. For reference, this container was able to hold two 8 oz bags of coffee. I really like the shape of the container because you are able to just see the coffee and it's clear state.

I love these!! Are lightweight, airtight and attractive! I have been using them daily for well over a year. Two cracked- perhaps due to high dishwasher heat. I would love to replace them without the wasting the lids - which are still good. Please make separate pieces available for sale!

I'm happy to see some more recent reviews related to the cracking. Shortly after I bought mine I found it very difficult to keep clean looking. No matter how I washed it and what I cleaned with (including vinegar) it seem to look smudged and definitely not "brilliant". I do like the shape and lid for these containers. Just feeling concerned and less impressed about the look over time.

I have been purchasing these for sometime now. I try and add to my collection a little at a time, as they are a little pricey. I love that they are clear and my husband can find things in the refrigerator easily. My one complaint is when used in the microwave to reheat food they have wavy lines and cracks beginning. I am supposing that eventually that will make the containers weak and they will crack all the way through. Not sure I will invest in any more if this is how they become after use.

I bought mine about 3 months ago. I found them to be a very attractive container, they looked like glass. However once they went into my dishwasher they cracked and some spots warped. I really wish I never put them in my dishwasher as now I am out two of my 6 containers :(

I bought several of these containers in various sizes, based on the great reviews. However, in less than a month I have my first casualty. I only use the containers in the fridge and for dry storage (because of the airtight seal). The lid for my 4.7 cup container is certainly no longer air tight. I hope this is not the standard as these are pricey and not as durable as reviews implied.

Purchased the 18 piece set to upgrade my mix & match storage containers. These were perfect, as it looked like glass and was crystal clear. I needed something that was dishwasher safe (although I always hand wash) and could be used in the microwave. Six months later, I noticed hairline cracks appearing! I continued to use them, as they were not leaking. But one by one- they found there way to the trash. My restaurant containers have lasted longer than these. Now I'm down to a few usable pieces and back to my mix & match pieces to complete my food storage needs. I love Rubbermaid... but Rubbermaid doesn't love me. Heartbroken.

Great while they last. Have bought 2 sets of these and they all spider line crack everywhere. Lid clasps also break off. Not good for the price or longevity. The purpose of buying reusable containers is to reuse and not create more waste. These create more waste.

I was so happy to find Rubbermaid Brilliance at my warehouse store and purchase two large sets. I trusted the Rubbermaid brand, and they containers are beautiful, store nicely,microwave safe, dish washer safe, etc. After a few months the containers starred cracking and seal rings separated from the lids. Now I have to find something else to replace them with Very disappointing and devalues the Rubbermaid name and reputation.

I couldn't wait to try out this product since it states, stain resistant, odor resistant and spill proof. I sadly have to report that it is so not stain resistant. If I wanted this outcome and I would continued to buy the cheap disposable containers. Money wasted.
