 Best food container available Feb 16, 2010
By Timothy Lam
"trustedsince1996"
I have owned both the Fresher Longer (at Sharper Image when they are still around) and OsoFresh containers (from Amazon) for several years and they have been wonderful for me. As far as I can tell it is the same products that has changed name/company over time, but this latest iteration maintain the same high quality as the previous versions and the Nano Silver . As the other reviewer has commented the lips are interchangeable with the old containers and I like how the smallest container is now taller, which make it much more useful. The containers are well-built and use high-quality, very thick plastic wall all-around, which means it will not warp or deformed. It is spill-proof, microwaveable, dishwasher safe and freezer-safe, what more can you ask for?
UPDATED 10/26/11
For those of us who worries about BPA. These containers are BPA-free. I have just purchased my 3rd sets, not because the old containers are worn out, but rather they are working so well that my parents want a set of their own too. I am still using the original Fresher Longer set (yellow color) I bought from the Sharper Image store 5 years ago. The silicone seal and the 4 side tabs works just as well as day one in making the containers spill-proof.

 Updated review May 15, 2011
By Mrs. Crusty
"My Kids' Mom"
They come in sizes I find convenient, stack nicely, and I like how the lids fit (though it does require a little figuring out at first). They can go in the microwave if you unlock the lids. So far there has been no marring of the insides like I've had with other containers. Not only do I give them a 5 star rating, but I would buy them again AND recommend them to a friend.
June 2011 - Had to update my review and remove a couple of stars. After some use, I am no longer as happy with them as I once was. My original review stated I would buy them again and recommend them. I would no longer buy them again and would no longer recommend them. They're just like all the other containers I've gotten over the years: good when they're brand new but their useful qualities deteriorate.
Problem #1: mold forming inside the silicone seal of the lid. Eww! Gross! I had to pick it out with a butter knife. Makes me wonder what microscopic yucky stuff is inside there infiltrating our food. So much for the antimicrobial attributes.
Problem #2: The lids no longer consistently and interchangeably fit. I've put them in the dishwasher on the top rack on occasion but mostly hand washed them. Sometimes the lids fit fine, other times they don't seem to line up. The lids can't be forced to closed. You have to try a different lid.
Stained by leftover pasta with tomato sauce after less than 24 hours holding the food, just like any other container.
I also find them a little hard to open when they are sealed. That isn't necessarily a product flaw, just my observation.

YES!!! Covers fit older products Dec 29, 2009
By Unnamed
I have older versions of this product called FresherLonger and OsoFresh. They are yellow, and these are green. Whatever color, they are GREAT!!!!! When I saw these, I was worried that they would be slightly different, and the tops wouldn't interchange. But they work just fine! I'm thrilled. I remember buying Glad containers, and the tops were always just slightly different so they wouldn't fit. These containers do everything they say and more. Food stays fresher MUCH longer. Also, the smallest container has been made a little taller, which makes it much more functional. This has made my day. And there are some new sizes available, which I snapped up as well.

 Hard to close Jul 03, 2011
By Alice Schatz
I ordered this item because of the nanotechnology and I do think that food stays fresh longer when using it. Red grapes were fresh after 2 weeks in the container. I do have a problem with the locking mechanism on them. Some of the lids are impossible to lock and I end up trying several lids to find one that locks on 3 or 4 sides. They require quite a bit of force to lock. I have a set of Lock and Lock containers and do NOT have this problem with them.

 Solid Feb 15, 2010
By Jake L. Bowman
Tight fitting lids, great size selections, highly functional and they don't retain food smell like similar containers.
