Design flaw
on June 17, 2024
Posted by: lp1234
There's a design flaw. The use of the vacuum sealer eventually cracks the plastic. It took longer on this particular model than on one of the others, but we had to throw away food after it cracked during use and got shards of plastic in our food. Would not recommend the plastic version of these.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

3M Size Containers Cracked Under Vaccuum 3 TIMES!
on November 18, 2024
Posted by: Dbb1216
My third 3M container just cracked under vacuum the very first time I used it. The first two broke but I figured my cat had knocked the s off the shelf or my son had dropped them or something else accidentally occurred to damage them. So I’ve bought multiple replacements. Then today I heard and watched the container crack as I was using the vacuum sealer for the first time with a brand new, hand washed container that I even let sit out for a couple days after washing in case the heat of water had some impact on the rigidity of the plastic. Complete garbage. Waste of money and over priced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My testing shows an 82% seal failure rate

ZWILLING Fresh & Save CUBE Container 3M, 3 Qt, Transparent-white
I really want these to work but there is a quality control problem with the SEAL gasket.
BASELINE - various 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 ounce glass canning jars with metal lids at sea level: It takes 5 seconds for the chamber to reach maximum vacuum -0.10 mPa (-29.53 HG). Then it continues to hold at maximum vacuum for additional 10 seconds before releasing. There have been no failures across hundreds of jars over the last 2 years.
I do not expect the same performance as the canning jars but... I do expect these containers to HOLD their vacuum for long periods of time.
MAX VACUUM THRESHOLD TEST (the CRACK test, 13 cannisters to start): -0.04 mPa (-11.81 HG) 1 Cannister FAILED, 6 random long cracks (did not shatter) -0.03 mPa (-8.86 HG) 1 Cannister FAILED, 3 random short cracks (did not shatter) -0.02 mPa (-5.91 HG) 11 Cannisters PASSED, no cracking after 24 hrs
Conservative usable THRESHOLD established at -0.015 mPa (-4.41 HG) for all testing and usage from here on out. No cracking occurs from here on out.
LID SEAL INTEGRITY TEST (of the remaining 11 cannisters): 4 unused canisters FAILED within 24 hours. 5 filled canisters FAILED within 25-72 hours. 2 filled canisters PASSED 21 days (have not failed yet).
NOTE: Sometimes wiping the underside of nipple and lid rubber seal with a damp cloth will help temporarily.

A waste of money. do not buy
on October 14, 2024
Posted by: kicks92
This was a great product but it didn't take long for it to crack and be rendered useless. I've had about three of these dry food storage containers crack up and no longer seal. Complete waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have this container and another container, and they both are great. Only issue is the cracks that i have gotten on both of them. Other than that, great product.

Great concept, but vacuum seal doesn’t hold
on July 17, 2024
Posted by: DHZZ
The idea and concept of these vacuum sealed containers is great; this is what drew me to this product. I primarily use these for baking ingredients such as flour, sugar, baking soda, etc. Anytime I release the vacuum to access the contents inside and vacuum seal the container after use, the seal doesn’t hold. It’s super frustrating because I have to wash the seal each time (flour or sugar gets on the seal and prevents the container from being vacuum sealed). For the price point of this product, it’s disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review and for your feedback. We recommend wiping down the rubber around the seal of the release valve inside and out and the surrounding lid and the Containers from fine food particles before sealing to ensure the sealing area is dry and clean before trying to seal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our consumer relations team directly by email at hello@zwillingus.com
