Review on ๐Ÿ“ฆ Iris USA 32 Quart Weathertight Plastic Storage Bin Tote Organizing Container - Durable Lid, Secure Latching Buckles - 4 Pack by Chelsea Williams

BAD LOOP ON TO GOOD CONTAINER

I've used several containers of this type over the years when they were made by Zip-Loc and never had a single problem. Since IRIS took over the production of the Zip-Loc bulletproof product, IRIS has obviously gone down in quality. The hinge on the lid of my Zip-Loc containers has been opened and closed hundreds of times and is still going strong. Hoping that many of the negative reviews complaining about faulty flip-top locks were just an accident, I ordered a pack of four anyway. The containers, lids and foam seal appear to be just as good as what I've been using with the Zip-Loc brand for years. However, upon first closing the first IRIS lid, one side of the plastic hinge immediately broke. The photo shows that the weak point is exactly where the hinge's "pin" protrudes from the clasp; it cut off immediately. I worry that this will not happen with all other 15 closures over time. I must choose between risking the remaining containers or returning them all to Revane. Aside from the broken plastic hinge pin, I really like the bins and they are perfect for storing file folders. I tend to return them and look for another brand that does what I need.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I'll write later
