FoodSaver itself is great, but this product is not
I have had my FoodSaver itself for over two years now and am quite happy with that purchase. These canisters, however, are another story. While I have not had a problem with cracking I have had a problem with them mantaining a seal. What I often find is that I seal them, according to directions and they seem to have good suction. However, a day later I will pull a canister out of the cabinet or off the counter only to find the cover comes off immediately. Initially I thought the problem was that other items were falling onto the button that releases the suction, but I have have this problem even when there is no possibility something could have fallen on or bumped these containers.
Additionally, the fact that you cannot stick them in the freezer or microwave limits their usefulness, but does it really matter if they don't maintain their seal? It's too bad they haven't fixed this product issue because these are a great, handy idea in theory, they just don't work in real life.

Reliability is the issue
I bought 3 sets and two lids wouldn't keep sealed until I realized that after pumping you should release the pump"s handle before detaching the tube don't relase the tube from the top of the canister first. Now I have one lid that doesn't work.

I thought these were Microwave safe and believe me they are NOT! So I've not lost a small canister. Now I have an extra lid and canister (MED). Anyone have the oposite?

The canister cracks
It worked for a while till the bottom of the canister cracked. It stopped working because the crack prevents the vacuum. It's completely useless.

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....

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!
