I've owned these for about 6 months now so here's my Rubbermaid EasyFind containers 101 class:
~ Environmental considerations: I really like how these have helped me eliminate almost all use of 1-use plastic bags, tin foil, etc. and both the containers and lids are durable enough that they'll last for countless years.
~ UPDATE TO CLARIFY & SETTLE THE BPA DEBATE: Although independent labratory tests for Good Housekeeping found that the 'container portion' of these DO actually contain ''LOW LEVELS'' of BPA's, the report also explains that BPA's only transfer to foods durring cooking (like microwaving) AND the tests AFTER cooking in these concluded ''No detectable BPA or phthalates migrated from the products (containers)...'', AND ''...the chemicals did not leach into food during microwave heating''. Personally, I like so many things about these containers that if I had any remaining concerns about BPA's, I'd just transfer the food from the container to a plate or bowl before microwaving it.
~ I've taken these straight from my freezer to full-power microwave cooking at least 100+ times with zero problems whatsoever, but another reviewer reported that these had melted or warped in the microwave. HOWEVER, EVERY Microwave instruction manual teaches us that WE MUST occasionally stir the food AND rotate our container (especially if our microwave doesn't have a turntable) because all microwaves can/will have ''hot spots'' so it would be unfair to blame Rubbermaid for a microwave operator's error.
~ These DON'T get `perma-grease' or retain color stains from tomato based foods like many other containers do.
~ The lids form a very good and tight seal and, except fot the smallest container, one size lid works with two or more different sizes of containers (a real time saver and
