Review on ๐Ÿฅฃ Airtight Cereal Container Set - MCIRCO Food Storage Containers (16.9 Cup 135.2oz) - Set of 4 for Flour and Cereal Storage by Roger Calvert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too much wasted space and spouts not working

At first glance they seem great. They just don't do very well with prolonged use. The main complaint concerns the shape of the hole. This is a circle. I didn't think it would make much of a difference until the kids and I tried to get the cereal out of them. Dry ingredients mostly get stuck due to some weird air pressure or something and you have to hit them or turn them back before you can continue pouring. The amount that spills out of each serving isn't very much, taking about 5 times to fill a child's cereal bowl. Because the holes are round, not square, and not turned into a fill hole, the "spout" is a joke. Also, it's not even big enough to fit a 1-cup measuring cup in the hole. And what amazes me the most is that the lids are so big and chunky that I lose at least 2 inches of space between the containers once they're attached and placed side by side. I definitely don't recommend them for storing things that need to be poured straight out of lidded containers or measured if you will. The circle should be square with a triangular shape on top for smooth pouring - even dry ingredients! Such a disappointment. Could be a great product with a redesign.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
