"I have had several other brands but not until I saw a friends Foodsaver and used it was I impressed. As soon as I got home, I had to order one. After receiving it, I put it together and used it right away and it worked better than I could imagine."

You'll buy more--you'll have to!,August 13, 2009
By StorageFanaticfrom Raleigh, NC
"I've been using Foodsaver canisters for about 5 years. As others have noted, they sometimes crack on the bottom--but by my experience, primarily with a certain usage pattern. The canisters that I seldom open and reseal are doing just fine, but the ones I frequently open and reseal (3-8 times a week) are the ones that crack.
Since all the cracks stem from the injection molding point on the bottom, this leads me to believe that this is a manufacturing defect in their canisters. Specifically, the frequent resealing causes stresses on the canister bottom that reveal a structural weakness at the injection molding point. After enough reseal cycles, this results in a crack.
What you can do that might help mitigate this problem: * Don't refrigerate your canisters, if at all possible (thermal variation may exacerbate the cracking problem). If you're marinating overnight, oh well. * Never, ever freeze a canister or heat one in a microwave. * Hand wash your canisters (again, the thermal factor--dishwasher water can get quite hot).
Ultimately, though, if you're going to use your canisters for things you'll frequently access, consider using the "light vacuum" setting on your Foodsaver (if your model has one)--this may lengthen the service life of those canisters. Otherwise, be ready to contact Foodsaver customer service for replacements when (not if) your canister cracks. FYI, I've had some success getting replacements on out-of-warranty canisters via email contact (but never via phone call).
For canisters that are seldom accessed (and where long-term freshness of the contents is a bigger issue), you should be OK using the normal vacuum setting. The ones I use this way have been in service (contents under vacuum) for 2-5 years with no problems.
As for the reviewer who had the lids "fall apart": I've had this happen, too, where I accidentally brushed the rubber cap on the top of the lid and had it pop off. Unlike the other reviewer, I had no problems reassembling the lid afterwards, and no issues with that lid holding a vacuum later."

Great idea,December 31, 2008
By andyagfrom Texas
"I luv the cannisters and they work great as advertised for vacuum sealing products (i.e. coffee, crackers, chips, rice, etc.) to keep them from going stale or losing their flavor. I also use the larger cannisters to vacuum seal items in smaller glass jars with lids (by placing inside the larger cannister during the vacuuming process) so I don't have to own a ton of the FS cannisters. I'm doing this with the small handheld FS vaccum processor. I have not used these for storing food in the freezer yet but am guessing it will work fine for that too. Working great so far."

cannister cracked,December 28, 2008
By cannistercracked
"We purchased 3 sets of these canisters when we purchased our foodsaver. All 3 of the large canisters have cracked and are useless. Save your money and don't purchase these cannisters. The foodsaver and bags are worth the money."

FoodSaver Three Piece Canister Set,July 26, 2007
By GK2006from California
"The canisters work well. I found that one of the canisters never holds a seal and the vacuum never holds. If you use these containers daily, it would be nice to be able to keep the foodsaver unit on the counter all the time to make resealing the canister a little bit more convenient. Only 3 stars because one of the containers is essentially useless."
