Review on IRIS USA Weathertight Plastic Storage Bin Tote Organizing Container Bundle – Clear, 19Qt (6 count) by Melody Stephens

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great design, when Ziploc sold them they broke more often than not!

I ordered 30.6L and 19L because I had similar 16L and 26.6L ziploc boxes that still work great! It's not the same. Pros - Channels on the sides, top and bottom make it stiffer than most boxes - Stacks well. Bottom fits into slots on top - grommets keep tension on lids and keep clips secure - side clip won't come loose when one box is removed from another Cons - 19 liters - I ordered 6 packs of boxes, clip was broken on arrival. I called the supplier's support to see if they would send me a clip but they sent me a vmail asking me to leave my number and they would call me back. HDPT! Instead I went back to Revain and ordered 6 more packs. The clip broke on the second batch. I went back to Revain for the exact replacement. I understand it! The clip was broken in the third batch! I suspect their packing box is so tight that any impact from the side will break the clip. The first and second batch were even in a double box, but without packaging inside. Luckily the third batch arrived before I could return the second so I replaced the broken clip and now I have 6 good boxes. Gaskets don't stay in the lid like Ziploc boxes. I'll glue them to the corners to fix it. Cons - 30.6 liters - spacers fit better but still fall out more than ziploc - one of the tops had its guides broken inside. Looks like shipping damage. Again, tight-fitting shipping boxes. One of the clips on each box popped out slightly. Since all boxes do this on the same clamp, I think it's an issue with their box shape. I returned them for a refund.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are nuances
