Amazon.com Review: For use with any FoodSaver machine that has an accessory port, these three plastic canisters store fruits and vegetables, dry goods like beans and coffee, and baking supplies like flour and sugar and keep them fresh after air has been vacuumed out by the machine. The canisters hold 3/4 quart, 1-1/2 quarts, and 2-1/2 quarts and are dishwasher-safe (though the lids are not). Machines the canisters can be used with include the following: Tilia 00-1400-01 FoodSaver Vac 550 Kit Vacuum Sealing System, Tilia 00-1700-00 FoodSaver Vac 1050 Kit, and Tilia 00-0312-01 FoodSaver Professional II Vacuum Sealing Kit. --Fred Brack

Rating: - Had mine for 5 years now...no cracks
My canisters outlasted my sealer!!(have @ 10 and just order more) Just bought a new sealer (FoodSaver V2840) The only advice I can give is never put into dishwasher(that is the only one I had develop cracks) I use mine EVERY day, store coffee in it and reseal for storage with no issues....
Rating: - Read the reviews!
I have had the same experiences too. The cannisters crack. They work great when they don't! We bought 3 sets of cannisters and are down to a total of one set. They need to fix this product!
Rating: - Zero stars! But I love the idea...
I purchased FoodSaver canisters in a store in various sizes. Every one of them "spider web" cracked on the bottom in one or two uses. I give credit to Tilia. They replaced every canister. And every one of the replacements cracked in one or two uses. Now I use them without vacuum for sugar, flour, etc. FYI... I hand washed them so it is not dishwasher caused as one service rep suggested.
I love the idea of these canisters and I too wish Tilia would find materials that work.
Rating: - Cannisters are useless and expensive
FoodSaver 3-Piece Canister Set All my Food Saver Cannisters cracked within one year. They were carefully handled by one adult, following all instructions of no dishwasher, freezer nor hot foods. I have all the clear and black models. Their center bottom seam gets hairline cracks, then fails to vacumn. They are expensive and useless. The unit works well with mylar bags or mason jars.
Rating: - works but poor design
The canisters seal fine as designed. The only problem is the design of the lid. The lid overhangs the edge of the canister so when you pick up the jar you may grab the lid only. That is fine if the canister is sealed however if it is not sealed, the lid will pull off the canister may fall and spill contents. Maybe I'm a slow learner but I've spilled a few cans already. It would be better if the lid was flush to the side of the canister or if the canister had a lip to hold onto. Kinda of pricey
