OXO Good Grips Pop 2.0 Container Small Square Medium 1.6L

I bought the 1.6 litre container on the basis of the dimensions given so 10.8 cm square by 24.1 cm. However, the 10.8 cm refers to the size of the top of the lid. The sides of the container slope inwards and the external dimensions of the base are just under 9 cm. The actual depth of the useable space in the tub is approximately 20.5 cm. This means I cant use the container for what I had intended. However, its a POP box and Im sure Ill find a use for it somewhere Ive had some smaller POP boxes for years and theyre still going strong.There are a few differences between this container and the older ones I have. This one is fully dishwasher safe. On the old ones only the silicone seal was dishwasher safe. The older boxes had a ringstyle seal.

This box has a has a cupshaped seal which covers all the internal plastics. Both boxes have a thick plastic layer which covers the silicone. The plastic on the newer box just pulls off with a downward motion. Dismantling the older boxes means rotating the plastic base.Both the boxes seem to be made of the same material they have the same recycling mark 7 in a triangle with Other written underneath and theyre both BPA free.Whilst comparing the old and new boxes I noticed some scratches on the base of one of the older boxes.

ALL YOU NEED FOR FOOD STORAGE

I have been using these containers for all my food Storage for over a decade. They literally have a size and shape for every item in your pantry. As an added bonus they are incredibly durable; my family is notoriously destructive and these have survived many falls. And if you have a pest issue, as we do in the Pacific Islands (ugh, roaches), I can attest to their ability to keep your food pristine and safe. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

Absolutely love OXO POP containers.

I have about 40 containers (maybe more) for all of my pantry need . I have been happy with the design and construction of containers that I have purchased for the last 4 years. I have containers from the smallest to the largest, round, rectangle and square ones. Living in the South I am more comfortable with all of my staples in these containers. I have not had any issues with them. The only drawback is they can be expensive unless you get them on sale.

Lids come off and can see it failing to seal

See photo. Can see the gaps in where the grey seal should be coming into contact with the clear plastic. The lids slide off when "locked" with minimal force, and how poorly they seal ranges on each unit- some give more resistant than others. There's no way these are actually airtight or consistent in manufacturing. Received units all scratched up in my order, as well. Get something else, these really are no good.

Love the OXO storage containers

The OXO storage containers are great. I have several sizes. They allow me to keep my pantry organized and looking clean and fresh.I live part of the year in Florida and with the humidity I was throwing food items out before their expiration date. Once they were opened no matter how tight I sealed them the humidity would get to them. So I decided to try one OXO cereal container. It worked great!! I have been buying additional sizes ever since. They have not disappointed me.Thank you for a great product.

New design is inferior to the old design

As some may or may not know, OXO recently changed the design of these containers, and they are no longer as good as they once were. The new design slims everything down, including a complete redesign of the lids. Slimming the containers is great, but these lids are no longer air tight and food goes stale quickly. You’re better off using a ziplock bag. OXO needs to swap the kids back to the older design that wouldn’t slide out when you hold the lid. These wouldn’t be effective even if they were $3 each.

Not airtight

I recently bought four of these containers in different sizes for flour, sugar, icing sugar, and brown sugar. Happy with them generally except it isn’t airtight enough to store the brown sugar. My brown sugar got so hard I had to chip at it to break it up and throw it out. I am now using a ziploc bag inside the container to keep my brown sugar workable.

Perfect For Storing Rice!

Purchased the 1.7 Qt. container to store Carolina 2# bag of Extra Long Grain Rice. It holds the entire 2#s with the lid on. The 1.1 Qt. container holds 2#s but the lid isn’t able to be put in place. The clear container also lets you know when it’s time to buy more rice. Great OXO product.

Unusual Defect

I have many OXO POP containers in different shapes and sizes and I love them all, but this particular one (round 1.5 qt white canister) was defective. The lid did not seal when the button was pushed down. I did not notice this until 4 months after I bought it when it accidentally tipped over and the contents poured out all over my kitchen floor. I contacted OXO and provided them with detailed information about the markings on my specific item and they sent me a replacement! I received the replacement today and the lid on this one appears to work. I can pick up the canister by the lid only and it holds firm even when the canister is full. The lids look exactly the same, but there is something wrong with the button mechanism on the defective lid. When I push the ... MoreI have many OXO POP containers in different shapes and sizes and I love them all, but this particular one (round 1.5 qt white canister) was defective.

The lids look exactly the same, but there is something wrong with the button mechanism on the defective lid. When I push the button down, the under side of the lid does not move down and then up again to create the seal. In other words, it just stays stationary. Thank you OXO for the replacement!
