Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm interested in vacuum stored food because oxygen causes spoilage both at room temperature as well as in the freezer. This review is about storing food in a partial vacuum at room temperature or refrigerated using the Zevro Food Storage Containers.
Let me break it down as follows.
Pros:
>> Containers are made from heavy-duty plastic with 4 hinged snap-down buckles
>> Gasket is silicone
>> Forms a partial vacuum that reduces the amount of oxygen
Cons:
>> One container (the second largest - Argh!!!) won't hold a seal
>> Pump has a cheap feel
>> Too many small containers and not enough larger one's
>> Way too expensive
>> Why is everything pink?
>> Plastic is touching your food at all times and that's not good
Given that the first container I used didn't hold a vacuum, I tested the other seven and they all passed. On the defective lid I can clearly hear the air leaking back in through the pink nipple.
If you get these, check their seals upon receipt. I wish I had done that before I threw the box out because I can't get service under the 90 day warranty. In retrospect, I am much happier with my Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids -- even if they aren't vacuum sealed. Another item I like better is the Vacu Vin 2977450 2-1/2-Quart Instant Marinating Container which is far superior in quality and construction materials.

Sleek and efficient, this set of eight vacuum-sealing containers with lids offers a smart alternative to traditional food-storage methods. The units feature durable clear-sided polypropylene construction for resilience and identifying contents at a glance, as well as a unique vacuum-sealing function designed to preserve freshness and flavor. To use, simply fill a container with anything from leftovers and tossed salads to chopped vegetables, batters, sauces, and more. Cinch down the leak-proof lid, and apply the included handheld vacuum pump to remove excess moisture and air. The units' high-resistance silicone gaskets provide an airtight seal between the lid and the base, while their snap-down side buckles lend an extra measure of spill-proof protection. Best of all, the containers nest neatly together for space-saving organization in the kitchen cupboard or pantry. A convenient and portable choice for home, cabin, dorm, or camping use, the four small 1/2-liter containers measure 5-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 3 inches, the two medium 3/4-liter containers measure 5-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 4-1/3 inches, the large 1-2/5-liter container measures 9-1/8 by 6 by 2-7/8 inches, and the extra-large 3-1/2-liter container measures 10-5/9 by 7-1/2 by 5 inches. A 90-day limited warranty covers the set.
