 My Everyday Storage Containers October 12, 2008
T. Ordinetz (Warners, NY United States)
These Premier containers are the ones I reach for first when I need a storage container. Like the Stain Saver line they replaced, they simply do not stain, even when holding tomato sauce or chili.
These are made of thick polycarbonate, and unlike the Stain Saver line, they have not cracked or broken. (Stain Savers were known to split in half in the dishwasher even w/unheated dry cycle.) The Premier lids fit snugly and the containers stack securely in the fridge. The covers fit the bottom of the containers and nest nicely, and the containers nest nicely as well. The only complaint I have is they don't make the small size (1 cup, I think) anymore.
I plan on buying more of these.
 Just wait untill the cracks start... August 24, 2008

I WAS very happy with these until the bowls starting cracking, one by one during normal (Microwave, dishwasher, fridge) use. Rubbermaid was not very helpful, you need to return the bowl for them to evaluate it (shipping cost is more than buying a new bowl). My 15+ year old Tupperware is still going strong.

I initially came here to get some feedback from others about the new set of Rubbermaid Premier containers I've purchased recently. In playing around with them before actual use, opening/closing, etc., I've noticed that the seal doesn't seem to be very tight or strong. I am able to open and close the lids with almost too much ease. My fear is that these containers will leak liquids too easily, especially as time goes by as (perhaps) the lids loosen from wear.
Unfortunately, this question hasn't been addressed by anyone yet, not in any depth anyway.
Since I didn't get the answer I was hoping for here, I went and sealed some water into a few of the containers, shaking them, turning each container upside down and rotating them around. Apart from a single slow 'drop at a time' leak on one side of one container held upside down, every container I tried did a reasonably admirable job locking in liquids. Certainly better than the lack of tightness of the seal on my set might suggest.
Again, things could loosen up over time, but with these passing this initial liquid "upside down and sideways shaking" test, coupled with the other aspects that reviewers here have been raving about (lack of staining, storage efficiency, etc.), I'm going to keep them.
One final but important point, related to my review title. Reading the user reviews prior to mine, there has been some concern raised about the chemical composition of the plastics used in these containers. After doing some further research, including both the pro/con arguments on this issue, I've settled on the viewpoint reflected in the sources I've linked below. In short, I think the user reviewers here have dramatically overblown the dangers. It's understandable. It's nearly impossible for the average person to navigate the murky waters of science, public health and the politics of science and public health, which tends to distort reasonable analysis of these issues.
Check out the sources below and decide for yourself if you think the "DANGER! DANGER! .. toss them out!" recommendations are warranted here (DON'T worry, short reads and not too difficult to understand!):

Note that the following one has been cited a couple times by another user reviewer here to justify his fear. Does a careful contextual reading of this information lead you to draw the same conclusion?:
