We aren’t often on the cutting edge of new kitchen techniques, and I suppose vacuum packing has been around far too long for me to claim front-of-the-line status for that, but for us these Zwilling glass vacuum containers and their nifty little pump for extracting air qualify as a breakthrough!There’s clear evidence that the vacuum packing does preserve foods longer, and since we’ve been in the process of weeding out all plastic leftover containers -regardless of supposed absence of BPAs and their many relatives - in favor of glass, that provided another nudge to try these.The cylindrical rechargeable pump (I’ll likely review it separately) is easy to handle and use and makes these containers just the thing. The pump lasts a long time on a charge via an included charging cord, and it’s scarcely moments before the air is sucked out and away.I believe (but am not certain) that the lovely sea-blue trim color oddly called “La Mer” on these German-made glass containers is a newer one? The others I’ve seen online have gray trim. Beyond color, the La Mer incarnation has one-piece lids where I think the gray lids are in two layers. A modest convenience, too.I’m sure I’m not the first to lament the high price of these containers, but shifting from toxic and impermanent plastic to glass that should last us for good, helps to cushion the pain upfront. And the availability of the vacuum feature in conjunction with them is a real perk.Since at least so far as I saw (and without an exhaustive investigation), the sizes for the La Mer offerings are limited and mostly rather large, so I hope to try some smaller sized gray lidded ones, too, which I believe use the same vacuum pump. And that may also be a bit less pricey.It’s helpful that the Zwilling glass containers are marked on the site with their dimensions in inches. That’s a lot more than I can say for the Pyrex “Simple Store” non-vacuum glass containers with lids. I searched every nook and crevice of the Amazon listing for them and utterly failed to find any descriptor that wasn’t in volume measurement: e.g. the number of cups capacity. I confess I’m not much of a cook, but to me the phrase “6 cups” is meaningless as a way of understanding size in 3-dimensions.At least Zwilling isn’t so pompous about it and gives three dimensions as H x W x L. I’m sure I’m just being picky to want them to call length by that term, rather than by “Height” when it is no such thing. But if I think again about cupsful, I quickly embrace inches by any name.If you can accept the price tag for these, I think having good safe glass instead of plastic of any stripe is worth a good bit. And while I wouldn’t ever plan to use these as our only glass refrigerator containers because of that cost, I do think the vacuum feature made so easily usable is a real plus. Many vacuum packing devices are paired with plastic containers; even worse, often with plastic bags and other collapsible shapes.Even if I didn’t loathe plastic in contact with any food, I would be delighted to avoid cleaning plastic bags (yuck!) in favor of washing solid structured containers.

We use this to store our dog's fresh food in it. The food comes in a bag and it lasts for 2 weeks worth of serving. The recommended length of time to use up the whole bag is 7 days once opened. You can start seeing oxidation on the nuggets after 4 days or so. We freeze the rest afterwards and thaw in microwave.Well with the medium size container, we can dump about 45% of the bag when we open it. It keeps the remaining fresh looking for the entire 2 weeks.I wish there was an even bigger container with similar shape. Would buy another.

Saves a fortune in food bills because no waste from wilted, soggy or rotten food. I use it primarily for vegetables and delicate herbs and they stay wonderfully fresh.
