Hinges ALWAYS break. I own 9.

I have nine and the hinges on all of them have snapped off. If they made an effective latch, this would be a great purchase, but as is, it's a waste of money.

I have several of these for storing holiday decorations and extra classroom supplies. They work perfect. Only issue is the lids are a bit delicate if not careful. If as heavier container is stacked on top, it may crack. We had 2 crack when we moved cross country.
I just purchased these yesterday for the gasket like seal. I didn’t even notice till I got home they were missing 10 hinges. I took some of the hinges from some and moved them around so they would seal. I didn’t want to unload all my wife’s wool and take them back. I guess this is the only real problem with these as others mentioned. Where can I get hinges to replace them? I like the seal even with the missing hinges and will buy more if I can just get hinges. I’d give them a 5 if the hinges were there but gave them at least a 3 for quality as they really are sturdy and don’t deserve being discounted lower just because of that

Thank you for reviewing the 80 Qt Gasket Box. Sorry to hear you are having difficulty finding this storage box. If you go to our website and type in the 4-digit item number in the search bar it will bring you to the product page. Select the 'where to buy' button and type in your zip code and it will give you retailers that carry this product near you.
Love the gasket feature but every single one of these that I have bought, which is 4 large size, 3 medium, and 1 small, the handles have broke off. So now I have to use a bungee cord to strap down the lid, which totally negates the gasket feature for air proof quality.

Good container, but hinges break off easily if using regularly. Need to be able to buy replacement hinges.

Both my daughter and I have purchased several of these gasket boxes. They are the best for storage!! We really like that the covers remain very secure and sealed. We use them when storing items at our camper that have to remain there during the off season. I also use them to store seasonal holiday decorations. Our daughter uses them to store clothing that her baby has grown out of. So far we haven't had any issues with these boxes.
There is an oily and cloudy film on all of the clear plastic. I tried cleaning it off with various plastic-friendly cleaners and it will not come off. I am very disappointed in the product.

Thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 80 Qt Gasket Box.
The "greasy-like film” on the storage item is a vegetable based agent used in our process to assist in keeping the containers from sticking to one another making it difficult to separate them when they are nested. This is not a harmful ingredient.
We I suggest you try using a liquid dish soap that is “tough on grease”, or other household all-purpose cleaner that is a degreaser, applied directly on a damp sponge or the item. Rub gently and cover the product completely inside and out. Rinse thoroughly until it is squeaky clean. Towel dry or allow the item to air before using it.
