Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver T020-00079-010 2-Quart Open Stock Rectangular Canister with Cheese Grater
Customer Review: 2 Qt stk cont. from FoodSaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this design - with the folding side handles:) Some of my other containers have to be hand held, or have gasket re-aligned, before FoodSaver will go into a deep-vacuum. The fold-down handles - seem to have a cam lock mechanism, that prepares the canister for a more efficient seal. A sweet product !!Customer Review: A bad deal at any price
Summary: 1 Stars
We've had a FoodSaver machine for about 4 years and love it; we've even given a few as gifts. But we've finally had it with all of their canisters, and will never buy another. They're just made too cheaply, and do not last.
This goes for both the round and the rectangular versions, we've purchased several of each size / configuration over the years. Most recently, we bought 2 each of the 1, 1.5 and 2 quart rectangular canisters, and 3 out of 6 have already cracked -- and so will no longer hold a vacuum -- after only 6 weeks of service. That's right, they lasted just long enough for the return period to expire (either to Amazon or to the manufacturer). And there's no warranty on them!
I think we've used enough of these products long enough that it isn't user error, nor have we abused them in any way (hand washing, and no kids in the house). The only FoodSaver canister-type products that provide any useful life are the quick marinator and the meal/lunch/leftover containers. All the rest are crap, and expensive crap, at that.
It's a shame, too, because it seems that if the canisters were molded just a little thicker and/or made of a less brittle plastic, they would last much longer.
As it is, we now have a dozen or so unused FoodSave canister lids lying around. You can't buy just a replacement canister withou the lid, even if you wanted to.
On the strength of some very positive user reviews on this site, we've just placed an order for some FreshVac Professional containers FreshVac 3-405TC Professional 12-Piece Polycarbonate Vacuum-Sealing Food-Storage Container Set with Dividers, which have a lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Avoid this canister
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these canisters directly from Foodsaver. Within 6 weeks I noticed it would not hold a vacuum over night. I also noticed hairline cracks in the corner. I called the Foodsaver company and they were happy to send me another one. Now, the replacement one has the exact same problem. This time when I called they stated that there is no guarantee on canisters at all. I never dropped or abused this item. If I wanted to replace it I would have to pay full price and shipping. (I have no problem with the round canisters.)
Customer Review: Cracked after first use!

I purchased this from Amazon directly to keep cookies from going stale. On the night I received it, I took it out of the box, hand-washed the base, put cookies inside, and vacuum-sealed it using a V3840. The next day I opened the two tabs on either side of the lid to find the top just sitting on the base. The suction hadn't held. Upon further investigation, I found a one inch crack in the clear base by one of the handles. I tried vacuum-sealing it a few more times, but the air is getting in through the crack. I agree with other reviewers that the hard plastic canisters (not the flexible plastic lunch or deli containers) need to be redesigned with stronger materials. I'll update this review when I have discussed this with FoodSaver.Customer Review: Cracked!

I purchased two of these items. Both of them cracked the second time that I used them.
