Incompatible product with same model number!
on March 25, 2023
Posted by: Miss_Sissy
Sterilite changed the design of these so that they will not stack and interlock with older Sterilite 1695 mini crates, but they kept the same part/model number of 1695! They also continue to tout tout the stackability as a major feature: "Designed to stack to create custom storage system"
I made the mistake of buying a dozen of these with the intent of stacking them on my previously purchased Sterilite model # 1695 mini crates. These are completely incompatible. The older ones used rectangular connecting elements and these use round.
Sterilite, you owed it to your customers to change the product model number when you changed the design. You owed it to us to provide a warning that these won't stack with ones we already purchased.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

One BIG problem

Sometime in the last couple years, you changed the connectors on them from square to round, and they no longer fit together. A lot of the round ones don't fit each other, either. I won't be buying any more.

Great Mini Crates with so many uses in the freezer or cabinets

We have several of these very strong, Sterilite mini crates and use them in a variety of ways. These are perfect in our basement chest freezer where they hold our individual steaks, pork chops and other small meats that we have shrunk wrapped. The crates are freezer safe, stacking nicely on top of each other, and nothing falls to the bottom of the freezer. These crates are also perfect for the higher shelves in the kitchen cabinets where we store items like baking mixes, extra spices, and various food pouches and envelopes. The crates are easy to grab and pull down from the shelf, without needing a stool, by putting a finger in the circle hole and pulling forward. You can reach every item on the shelf because they are the perfect depth for our cabinets. We also have the mini crates storing our extra coffee pods that are not on the carousel by the coffee maker. The crates with the pods are double stacked on the top shelf of another cabinet. We own many Serilite products but the mini crates are among my favorite and we literally use them every day.

Good except the lids

The container is made of good, sturdy, clear plastic, it handles microwaving and dishwashing just fine, and I like the steam vent for cooking. But the hinges on the lid break too easily! Two of my lids are useless after only a couple months of use.

UltraSeal 58 Cup Rectangle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a must have in my kitchen, I used to to store left overs, take to parties, drop off food to a friend.
They are sturdy and long lasting, I can see inside of them, label them stack in the fridge. I can never have to many.
They are also easy to store, they stack inside of each other , and lids can lay next to them.
I would be at a loss with out them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Convenient and Expandable

I bought one of these awhile back and was using it for little miscellaneous storage. Then my toddler got super interested in books. We have so many in all shapes and sizes and I love these crates for housing the books. It is durable, convenient, affordable and the have option to latch together to expand the storage - allowing it to look organized
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hot Pink Color - please bring back!
on May 19, 2023
Posted by: Eileen17
Fabulous quality, sturdy, and useful! I would give 5 stars if the colors available included hot pink! I love my crate which I purchased awhile ago. I want to buy more, but can't find the matching color. Mine is hot pink. I use it to store my journals or mini-notebooks. There are so many other uses for this perfect sized mini-crate, but I refuse to purchase other colors. Please bring back the hot pink color, in this newer, interlocking design. I'm sure MANY girls and women, from 3-80+ would love them! Thank you.

Hello! We are currently not making item #1695 - Mini Crate in a hot pink color. The only color this product is being manufacture is Clear and Black.
After much research we choose the colors that follow popular trends and seem suitable for plastic storage or household items. Major retailers also do their own surveys, and request the colors that are most popular in the mass market. Color trends go in cycles, and there is always the possibility of a color returning as a future favorite again.

Seals well, held up well overall.

I've had my Sterilite containers for 3 years and am ready to buy more. This products is studier than most, can be carried to work in my bag full of other things and doesn't leak like other brands. My only disappointment is that the pop up steam release is fragile and has broken on several dishes.
