Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 5-Piece POP Container SetCustomer Review: Hands Down the Best Storage Containers on the Market!! Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big believer in using storage containers and have tried almost every brand in existence but to be honest, when I first saw these in Kohls I thought they were just another average storage container and I didn't pay them much attention at all. Then on a 2nd visit I decided to give them a closer look and boy am I glad I decided to do just that. The lids are FANTASTIC. Yes they sink into the actual container around 3/4 of an inch thus taking away a bit of your storage space but I for one really don't care. Ill just use a bigger container if it wont fit in a smaller once. The ease and quality of the seal is worth every bit of that 3/4 of an inch loss. These are easily the best lids ever designed.
I have now been using these containers for a little over 6 months and I just appreciate them more and more as time goes on. I have now purchased a lot of these containers, at least 2-3 in each size, and not only do they work amazingly well, they also look fantastic. We now have a whole cupboard filled with just these containers and you simply have to see it to understand just how nice it really looks. Its just such a clean and organized look and its extremely easy to find what your looking for even when your staring at a cupboard filled with them. Obviously the look of the containers isn't really that important but when something works as good as these containers do and just happen to look really good too, well its just an added bonus and these containers definitely look good.
Overall I have noticed a considerable difference in the freshness of the food we store in these containers. We are throwing away a lot less food these days and some things are literally lasting 2-3 times as long without spoiling. For example we are big cereal junkies. We usually have at least 6-8 different brands of cereal at any given time and because we like such a large selection, we don't finish boxes off nearly as fast as most people do. Because of this there are times when we definitely noticed a decrease in freshness especially with cereals like Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, and granola based cereals. Now that we use these containers, we no longer have this issue. Its really amazing just how big of a difference these containers have really made.
The 3 .4 quart size is definitely our favorite size due to our cereal eating habits but they are all nice and I definitely recommend getting all the sizes even the smaller ones. Some people have complained that the smaller containers are useless but I disagree. There are really a ton of things that you can put in every single one of these containers. I guess it just depends on just what you eat. We have at least 2 of each size and we use them all, in fact we even had to buy more as it was getting difficult finding any empty containers.
As for the future of these containers, I would like to see different colors released. In particular I would absolutely LOVE to see a higher quality set with actual stainless steel lids. That will probably never happen but that would be my ultimate food storage container and I would gladly pay a lot more for them. I would also like to see them come out with a set of round containers.
The bottom line - These are hands down the best storage containers on the market and while they are a bit expensive, they are absolutely worth every penny. In time, the money you will save from throwing out less food will more than cover the cost of these containers. OXO has really hit a home run with these containers and the other storage companies out there really should be worried as I am betting these containers will become HUGELY popular in the months and years to come. I know I wont be buying anything but Pop containers from here on out. I simply cant possibly give POP containers a higher recommendation.
5 Stars!!
