Bad Locking Tabs

They looked like the latches would stay locked. We bought 2, and 1 worked for maybe a month. So my husband wanted to replace the broken 1, and bought 1 to replace it. With-in a month 1 broke again. Said that was the worst latching handles he's ever seen. They don't stay locked for than a month because 1 of the long handles breaks ends up breaking. So what ever you put into the container leaks out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, our apologies for inconvenience caused by the broken cover. Customer satisfaction and product quality are very important to us. Please contact me directly at marketing@sterilite.com so we can further assist you.
Unfortunately, the side snaps continue to come undone. They are not secure. One container worked, another kept coming unsnapped so I couldn’t trust either.

I have a bunch of the older design without the vent which I love. The vent on the new design is just a simple pop open friction fit tab. I would not trust it with liquids, soups, etc. Any build up of pressure could cause the vent seal to leak or the tab could snag on something in my bag and pop open resulting in a mess. The tabs also do not snap down as securely. I will not be buying any more of these.
I bought a whole box of bowls (twice) the second set didn't have any of the vent plugs but I didn't think anything of it cause I had the first set. But now my bowls keep disappearing, I have teenagers and a husband that tends to forget where they left things so now my problem is I have bowls but no vent plugs so I was looking on the site and found out there isn't a way to buy replacements so I either have to buy more or replace them with something else..
I've had a small Streilite plastic container for almost six years that I use to take food to work. It's held up very well and now I'm looking to replace my container. Thanks for a well made product!
We use several different size Sterilite food storage containers, for lunches, leftovers, bulk dry foods like nuts, pipcitn kernels, etc.
They really hold up, and show very little wear, even after 100's of dishwasher cycles. What we like most are how easy it is to secure the tops, and the color coded tops and bottoms.
Of all the different brands we've tried, Sterilite stands above the pack.
This container is a great size for sandwiches packed on Italian bread which is wider then regular bread. it is also great for leftovers packed in the lunch box. It has a tight seal as well as ventilation for the microwave and it is easy for the kids to open. I am using containers I bought 2 or 3 years ago and after daily use and dishwasher the flaps on the lid are beginning to break off, but they have been used hard. I will replace the containers with the same style for this school year.
