Tools and Hardware Reviews of 34 Pc Easy Find Lids Set By Rubbermaid
Customer Review: Good-quality, versatile, and BPA-free
Summary: 5 Stars
I was disappointed that the product description doesn't list the sizes & quantities included in this set. I actually had to find it in a retail store, in order to verify that it had enough 2 cup containers. So, the primary reason I'm writing this review is to save others the trouble of doing the same. This set includes the following containers (and matching lids):
4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)
4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)
3 x 5 cup (1200 mL)
2 x 7 cup (1700 mL)
The construction and materials easily matched my expectations, based on other Rubbermaid products I own. The design is clever - lids snap together to stack easily & securely, and they also snap to the bottoms of the containers. These are dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and freezer-safe. Also, these are clearer than my other Rubbermaid food storage containers, which is quite nice.
Finally, Rubbermaid lists this series as BPA-free. I was surprised to see how many of my old Rubbermaid containers are, as well! For more info, see:

I bought these to replace some containers that are probably not BPA-free (i.e. most plastic food & beverage containers), and I encourage everyone to do the same - especially if you have children. Recycle or find non-food uses for your non-verifiably safe containers.
Addendum: the only issue I've so far found is a fairly minor one - that it can be a bit tricky to get the lid to snap securely to the bottom of a container. This is useful for stacking non-empty containers and for keeping the lids from ending up at the bottom of my dishwasher. The problem is that while it's easy to snap 3 sides, the 4th can be a bit tough. The technique I've adopted is to slightly twist back & forth, while attaching.

Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these containers. I actually gave away all of my other containers. I love that I can just attach the lids right out of the dishwasher, I never have to look for a lid any more. The only down side is that they take up a lot of space. Totally worth it though. Great product!Customer Review: Great set of containers...
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought 2 sets of these. I opened the first box and found the teeny little containers, I find them too small to be useful. So I immediately gave them to a secretary I work with and she started on how she can bring an egg to work in them, save the last bit of tomato sauce in them and some other things that I as a guy wouldn't do.
I then got home and realized that they are PERFECT for making nice large ice cubes that are big enough to fit into my hydration packs.
So needless to say, I didn't give her the other set from the second box.
The covers are VERY tight fitting which I love, and the ability to snap the items together between the lids and the bottoms is useful as well.
I do seem to think that these exhaust heat faster than other plastic containers. Although this is just by walking down the hall carrying them after nuking my lunch. The previous containers I can hold in my hand as I walk down the hall, these shed heat so much that I need to wrap them in paper towels to hold them.
