Lock&Lock container

CARROLL — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 20:53:53 GMT

Just kind of my own wish list. Of late, there has been very little lock&lock shown in general and they have all been available for some time. There seem to be an over abundance of the larger containers which I own and use constantly but, short of my buying another large set with a mix of sizes there are none of the very handy smaller rectangles like you get in the big sets. I would be thrilled to see a set of varying sized smaller rectangles and I. don't believe I am alone. Here's hoping! Thank you Carroll

@CARROLL I ordered 10 pieces from Ebay. I got the exact sizes I wanted, no shipping fees and some of the pieces came in sets of two or three. I'm very happy. And they were the mid size to smaller sizes.

@CARROLL

Please keep an eye out for a lock & lock TSV mid to late April which will have a variety of sizes that you might be interested in. Also I will pass on your feedback to our Lock & Lock vendor as well.

The lock and lock selection here is very small and very stale relative to QVC's German site.

Just for kicks, go look at QVC Germany, and you can enter Lock and Lock in English on the site. They have a huge selection of things there we never see.

This is a popular product line, and I'll never understand why there isn't more choice on QVC USA.

Google LockNlock. There used to be a site I ordered several things from. I believe the name was "Heritage", it's been a few yrs though. I got some really neat small containers. MY DIL also got me a set from Ross, that had several small containers. It wasn't the real LnL, but it has not broken & I use it a LOT, it's well made.

I just checked out QVC Germany, and you are so right, what a selection !

You are so right about qvc Germany. So what are we chopped liver?

There were several sets I would have bought but only one in red my color choice..That's the word choice that qvc USA doesn't have.

I just threw out 15 Lock & Lock lids today that have all had tabs snap off; both square and round ones. It's only my DH and myself and they don't get heavy usage.

I looked online first to check their warranty. I thought they used to guarantee them for life (a long time ago, I guess), but now it's a year with a receipt. Or you have to pay shipping and handling. I figured it would cost me more for that than they're worth.

I'll just replace them with something I can buy locally.

@CARROLL try Wayfair. I just tried to search the other site I mentioned, didn't find it, but found quite a lot on Wayfair!!

Like most everything else... they are not made like they used to be. I still like them, but the quality is definitely not the same. The stackable sets are nice since they take up so much less space. Always a plus!

May have to go to EBAY. So many choices these days so perhaps this brand is not as popular.

I have noticed that not all Lock and Lock sets are made the same or equal.

Some are thicker and stronger than others. Some of the square nesting with the lids on sets I've received in the last year are really flimsy. But some round sets bought in the same time frame are so much thicker and sturdier.

And all their rounds leak. If you really put them to the test, they will leak.

Another thing I noticed is that when all I bought was the clear with the blue seal, everything was good. But once the colors came out, with the clear seal in the lid, I noticed the clear seals are not as thick and beefy as the blue ones found in the clear containers.

I haven't bought a clear container from Q in several years (although I have found them at TJ Maxx and got some) so I wonder if the blue seals are still bigger and beefier and do a better job.

But I do notice that some sets, even offered at the same time, are made quite a bit better than others.

I have never had a tab break off of mine, and am always amazed when this is a big problem for people (not saying they aren't having that problem, just amazed by it). It's amazing how people can have such different experiences and results with the same products or services.

@Mominohio So funny you mention the clear with the blue seal. 95% of my L&L are the clear. I too find them sturdier and better made. I did buy one set that was all red, many years ago because I wanted to put marinara and meat sauce in them without staining the containers. I love those and haven't found anything like them. Now they typically just to the top in the color and not the entire container.

I stick with my clears and all is good.... so far.
