Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
For use with any FoodSaver machine that has an accessory port, these three plastic canisters store fruits and vegetables, dry goods like beans and coffee, and baking supplies like flour and sugar and keep them fresh after air has been vacuumed out by the machine. The canisters hold 3/4 quart, 1-1/2 quarts, and 2-1/2 quarts and are dishwasher-safe (though the lids are not). Machines the canisters can be used with include the following: Tilia 00-1400-01 FoodSaver Vac 550 Kit Vacuum Sealing System, Tilia 00-1700-00 FoodSaver Vac 1050 Kit, and Tilia 00-0312-01 FoodSaver Professional II Vacuum Sealing Kit. --Fred Brack

1 out of 5 stars FoodSaver itself is great, but this product is not   November 20, 2008
Boston Book Addict (Boston, Mass.)
I have had my FoodSaver itself for over two years now and am quite happy with that purchase. These canisters, however, are another story. While I have not had a problem with cracking I have had a problem with them mantaining a seal. What I often find is that I seal them, according to directions and they seem to have good suction. However, a day later I will pull a canister out of the cabinet or off the counter only to find the cover comes off immediately. Initially I thought the problem was that other items were falling onto the button that releases the suction, but I have had this problem even when there is no possibility something could have fallen on or bumped these containers.
Additionally, the fact that you cannot stick them in the freezer or microwave limits their usefulness, but does it really matter if they don't maintain their seal? It's too bad they haven't fixed this product issue because these are a great, handy idea in theory, they just don't work in real life.



2 out of 5 stars Reliability is the issue   November 17, 2008

I bought 3 sets and two lids wouldn't keep sealed until I realized that after pumping you should release the pump"s handle before detaching the tube don't relase the tube from the top of the canister first. Now I have one lid that doesn't work.

I thought these were Microwave safe and believe me they are NOT! So I've not lost a small canister. Now I have an extra lid and canister (MED). Anyone have the oposite?



1 out of 5 stars The canister cracks   October 4, 2008

It worked for a while till the bottom of the canister cracked. It stopped working because the crack prevents the vacuum. It's completely useless.

My canisters outlasted my sealer!!(have @ 10 and just order more) Just bought a new sealer (FoodSaver V2840) The only advice I can give is never put into dishwasher(that is the only one I had develop cracks) I use mine EVERY day, store coffee in it and reseal for storage with no issues....

I have had the same experiences too. The cannisters crack. They work great when they don't! We bought 3 sets of cannisters and are down to a total of one set. They need to fix this product!
