Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver 2-Quart Rectangle Canister with Cheese Grater
Customer Review: WARNING, WARNING Faulty Design Do Not Purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
UPDATE to below: I called FoodSaver at 1-877-777-8042, spoke to a very nice rep, explained my problem and they are sending a free replacement because it was still under warranty. I expected a runaround but didn't get one and can't say how much I appreciated her response. There still may be a design problem (I'll soon know) but don't be afraid to call the company ASAP.
My problem:
I purchased the 2 quart "rectangular" container about 3 weeks ago along with several small and large "round" containers. None subjected to microwave, freezer, dishwasher or dropped. The ROUND containers appear good after 3 weeks of slight use But the 2 quart rectangular container has failed after very slight use (mostly just setting around empty with a vacuum. On the inside of the unit the are vertical fracture cracks at the corners and on the flat side under the lid latch some very nasty looking curved fracture lines (4 lines appx 3/4") that are getting longer. You can feel the cracks on the inside with your fingernail. They have not reached the outside (yet) and vacuum is still held but it's just a matter of time before rupture. There is absolutely a design flaw in the rectangular containers. The round containers and the small sandwich (flexible) containers are fine (so far). DO NOT BUY THE "RECTANGULAR" RIDGED CONTAINER. The cover seems fine (so far), the problem is the bottom container is going to crack (implode) open. I'll vacuum it and put it in a safe place waiting for total failure. THIS SPECIFIC STYLE IS JUNK and should be removed from the market. After researching internet complaints I have a feeling Tilia/Foodsaver knows this.
Customer Review: useful foodsaver item
Summary: 3 Stars
The biggest gripe is that for such a large space, the grater area is too small for each grating size. A better option would be to have different inserts.Customer Review: These sometimes develop cracks for no reason
Summary: 4 Stars
I just wanted to alert users of the foodsaver canisters that two of mine while quite new developed a crack in the bottom for no reason. Foodsaver's customer service said this sometimes happens and willingly replaced the defective ones, so if you have this problem and are sure the cracks had nothing to do with your using it improperly, don't hesitate to call them.Customer Review: 2 QUART CANISTER

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. BEING ABLE TO USE A CONTAINER THIS LARGE THAT STAYS AIR TIGHT TO KEEP THE FOOD FRESH IS GREAT. I REALLY ENJOY MY FOODSAVER AND WILL CERTAINLY BUY MORE PRODUCTS SUCH AS THIS FOR IT.Customer Review: Avoid this canister
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these canisters directly from Foodsaver. Within 6 weeks I noticed it would not hold a vacuum over night. I also noticed hairline cracks in the corner. I called the Foodsaver company and they were happy to send me another one. Now, the replacement one has the exact same problem. This time when I called they stated that there is no guarantee on canisters at all. I never dropped or abused this item. If I wanted to replace it I would have to pay full price and shipping. (I have no problem with the round canisters.)
