These are relatively expensive, but they seem to work. Have grown tired of weevils showing up in my flour, corn meal etc. These look like they will solve that problem. They are too big to fit in my cabinets, so are out on the countertop. Not fancy like some canisters, but attractive enough - and if they keep critters out of my stuff, that's fine with me.
Later - Christmas Eve 2016. So, I've had several weeks to use these and I have grown to like them so much. The big one will hold about a 5 lb bag of flour with room to spare, ditto for the next size and 4 lb bag of sugar. Best of all, the top opening is big enough to let you reach in with a measuring cup and scoop up all you need. During Christmas baking, I came to really appreciate that - (no more using 1/3 c. measure to dig out 3 c. of flour like you have to with smaller canisters). AND after a month, no weevils. Whee!
Yes, they are expensive. But I'm thinking they are worth it. (BTW, it comes with instructions on how to clean the gasket. Don't lose those!)
There's a reason these containers cost more and it's because their actually Airtight. To anyone claiming otherwise you got a defective product. Return it and place a new order. If you pour water in he container and shake it around and nothing leaks that's how you know it's airtight.
I already had a few of the square OXO containers, and desperately needed some for my baking ingredients (my cabinet shelves had flour everywhere). There are rather large, so I had to store them in a bigger cabinet than I was storing these ingredients before. But I'm thankful to have a place to keep everything fresh and my cabinets clean!
I love OXO products. I had the two smaller sizes for about a year before purchasing this set, which I specifically chose because it included the largest canister size which easily holds a standard size bag of flour (something I am very excited about). They have kept my ingredients fresh for over a year that I've had them stored in these containers; they're easy to wash and very hard. Love these!
These are great. I now have four of these. Have you ever reached for a large container and realized:
- you need two hands to remove the cover
- then, reach into the container and grab a handful
- ooops... now you can't put the cover back on!!!
These containers solve that problem beautifully:
- press the center pop up button (which also unseals the container)
- lift the top off by that pop up button
- reach in and grab a handful
- put the top back on and press the pop up button back down (which reseals the container)
Ahhhhhhhh... didn't need three hands... cover back on... walk away with handful.
The only down side: now I snack more because it's so easy to get a handful of Chex Mix that I keep in one of these containers.

Description
OXO POP Round Containers make it easy to keep your countertops tidy and your dry foods fresh. Create an airtight seal with just one push of the pop-up button, which also serves as a handle for the lid.
This sleek, three-piece canister set (2, 3 and 4 Quarts) instantly upgrades counters and pantries and provides easy access to common kitchen staples including coffee, sugar, flour, cereal, snacks and more. With sturdy, BPA-free construction, a lid that comes apart (and snaps back together) for thorough cleaning, and crystal-clear bodies that nest for compact storage. POP containers aren’t just for your kitchen: use them any place you want more organization! Think playrooms, bathrooms, garage, craft rooms, home offices and more -- the possibilities are endless.
I clean my cat's litter box into a plastic bag and then put it into this container. It works great. The container and the litter box are both in the bathroom and it does NOT stink. I empty the container once a week. It is truly amazing how airtight the container is.
After 10 months of daily use there have been no issues found with this set. It is wonderful, alternating between storing human food items to storing dry dog food kibble to keep items handy on the counter.
Lovely round set, easy to clean, keeps items sealed from moisture in air very well, and they are rugged enough to endure the constant daily uses I put them through. Worth every penny, now I want to get the square/rectangle and cereal set for cabinet storage.
We use these in the barn to store horse supplements in. They work great and are easy to use and clean.
The pop up parts can get some debris in there but are easy to wipe clean. We label the lids with black marker.
Would buy it again. It is as air tight as a canister can be. Remember that when you take the lid off, air and moisture get in. The set DOES NOT remove existing moisture. Use a non-bleached coffee filter with rice in it to take out the moisture but add no flavor to sugar or what ever.
The OXO Brand (pronounced OX-oh) are the best containers around! They are easy to get into (especially for someone with arthritis who has trouble prying Tupperware style lids up) and they keep everything fresh. I have every size and shape they make. I keep everything from snacks, rice, flour and dog food in these containers!
