What's the difference between the Rubbermaid Premier set and the Rubbermaid regular food storage set? Is the price difference really worth it?

difference imo is not actually in price but in quality . the regular rubbermaids tend to get stained either by sauce or just because its worn out. these premier actually don't get stained they stay as new . i have the 1st stain resistant that came out and loved them, so decided to buy these for my mom. hope you do as well :)

I have no clue. All I can tell you is that both of the Sterilite trays I bought quickly developed cracks while the two Rubbermaid trays with which I replace them are still going strong. I use a lot of ice, emptying both trays at least once a day.

I had to get a different one. My Libman was a piece of junk and I live in a small condo, so it wasn't being used much. I ended up buying a Rubbermaid and love it.

The Spectrum Noir storage only comes with 3 trays. That I think would be the only difference. Hope this helps.

I haven't really noticed a difference. I love the storage so it makes it worth it.

The SE edition is better equipped for NAS units, and is TRIM-capable. Using a WD Black in a RAID array is likely to result in timeout errors, and array rebuilds. Otherwise, it's effectively the same drive - only the chipset is changed, not the platters themselves. If you just need bulk storage for a workstation, go with either one. However, if you need storage for a NAS and/or RAID array, the SE is a more effective bet.

Depends on the individual needs. The gold version has much more storage and table space. I looked at both at a Home Depot before I bought mine.

I have no idea and I don't know why Amazon would ask me. You would need to ask Rubbermaid.

The lids are a thicker and harder plastic as compared to the container which is more rubbery. Also, I think I saw someone post that the contents don't come out easily... if you put in a shallow cup or bowl of warm water, or run under warm water, the contents come out with ease and perfectly clean.

I don't have the rubbermaid ones anymore as the lids split and cracked. I only use Tupperware Modular Mates now because they are much better quality and have a lifetime warranty if they split or crack. In fact, this is the one product that made me decide to become a Tupperware consultant. If you look at my storefront - ForMyKids - you'll see the Modular Mates sets I'm talking about. I'm sorry for this "commercial" but it is just something that I feel passionately about. Or you could contact me at sarahpat with isp of surewest DOT net

I have had my snapware Glasslock storage containers for almost a year and have not had any trouble with them at all, I love them. Have you contacted the place where you purchased the containers to inquire about purchasing a rubber seal? My guess is it would be easier and cheaper to just purchase another container! Good luck

It is best to purchase the bags. The effect may not be the same with bags that are not compatible with the food saver.

I can't give you a direct comparision to the AtHome, but I can say I found the Rubbermaid to hold more weight than Rubbermaid recommends. I don't know the weight I have in my 60", but I can give you a count. The fit for all this is very tight, I would actually call it inconvenient, but I need the space. Anyway, right now I have 45 pairs of jeans, 27 pairs of dress pants, 18 tee shirts hanging it. Everything is sized adult male clothing, and it is squeezed in. It is not just for storage, but for "everyday" use so it has definitely stood the test of time. I have nothing but good to say about it. I also have a couple of the 36" versions. They are made as well, and I am equally happy with them. I would say they are not quite as sturdy as thje 60" just because of the smaller size. That's all I've got, hope it helps.

I can tell you from experience that if you want longevity, spend the extra for Rubbermaid. sterlite containers are good for the short term, but you will notice the plastic doesn't hold up and suddenly you will pull it out in a few years and notice it is cracked.

The materials are the same, and most of the silicon cookware is about the same thickness. The main difference then would be with the handles. The OXO Good Grips Colander had a metal support ring for the the top edge as well as the handles. The handles also have plastic molded around them for a larger grip surface. So unlike the Prepology Colanders I've seen, you can't "ball and roll" this one up. The OXO seems to be fairly rigid, it holds its shape quite well and doesn't slouch. The rigid top & handles allows you to hold the colander and shake water out. Which may be a bit more difficult with hot food such as noodles with the Prepology brand. If you'd like a colander that's more flexible, go with the Prepology, if you'd like one that's got the rigid top and extended handles, go with the OXO.

In my opinion the additional $70 for the Gold over the Silver is worth it. Basically, what the Gold has that the Silver does not is the LCD timer, the larger work table and the charcoal bin. These are all simply convenience items but I use them all.

I've only used them with thd Food Saver system but I imagine they work much the same way. Although they're a bit thinner, we've had no problems and the difference in price us wonderful.
