What's the difference between these containers and the premier line? Besides the look, design and price, does the premier perform better?

Just 3 cups and 5 cups. But it is good for me, Because I got very good price and I love them with my food.

I doubt there are any differences between any of the units using pods, not that I could tell. My view is, it needs to be hot. I have a different brand at home, uses the pods, and not as hot as this one. So, for my tastes, this unit is as good any any of the units I own (some expensive, in different locations i live). Overall, I am very pleased using this one at work, and again, I am not sure any create a different taste. I would add, not having the storage for water, it is a bit of a pain loading, I like the bigger units better, but cannot use them at work.

I had wash my thermos so I can get all of the stuff that trapped behind the gasket etc. There's a much better thermos out there at a lower price. This is the one I upgraded too. Thermos Stainless Steel King 24 Ounce Food, Midnight Blue it holds more food and costs less than the one you're looking to buy.

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.

Infinite is far better in my opinion. I have a couple random pieces of "Elite" that I've picked up on sale to compliment my "Infinite" set that I bought here through Amazon and they just aren't the same. Elite is handwash only and not metal utensil safe. Infinite is the way to go, they are sturdier, have more heft and thickness(thus better heat retention), and are dishwasher/metal utensil safe. Only advantage Elite has are the glass lids, but once they fog up they aren't much good anyways. :-)

I do not have a go anywhere but I can compare the Smokey Joe silver vs the gold.If you're not traveling with it then I would suggest the Silver for the cheaper price vs the gold. The gold has lid locker which keep everything in 1 piece for traveling and storage, it has side vents for better control of ventilation etc. The go anywhere because of its square shape seems more stable and it looks like its built sturdier. I personally prefer the kettle design but the choice is really up to you depending on you budget and needs.

The Apec RO-90 has a much higher flow rate. I can fill a pitcher of water in seconds not minutes. For me it was well worth the extra cost. I had a$1,500 Kenetico system before buying the RO-90. The RO-90 is much better. Water quality is running about 20tds and tastes great.

I am not very savvy to the differences, so my choice was made based on the influence of people that do cleaning. Basically they said that the canister tends to have more sucction and that the upright model tends to break more often/easier. So far mine is doing well, but I confess my usage is minimum as I live alone.

I went back and forth a bit as well, but I am happy I went with the glass. 1) it was a bit cheaper...always a plus 2) So far there has been no staining and the seal seems to be very reliable on all of the lids.

I cant tell you which is better. We bought the Lindys. Is suppose to be better for glass cook top.

Here are the differences between the Contigo Aria and West Loop travel mugs: -The Aria version has slightly better insulating ratings than the West Loop (though some Amazon reviews dispute this.) -The exterior diameter of the Aria is a little larger than the West Loop. This is to accommodate more insulating space between the outer and inner walls. -The Aria has a rubberized coating on the base. The West Loop does not. -The Astor is is cheaper version of the Aria that is available at Costco (and maybe other stores.) Unlike the Aria, the Astor does not have a rubberized coating around the side of the lid and it does not have a rubberized base. -The Aria has a locking lid. The original West Loop did not have a locking lid. The new West Loop (Easy Clean Lid version) does have a lock, so this is no longer a difference. -The new West Loop (Easy Clean Lid version) has an. . . easy clean lid! The Aria does not have an easy clean lid. -The lids for the Aria/Astor and the West Loop are not compatible with one another.

Based on my research, thes were the best for durability and finish. The defiant and gatehouse brands don't hold up as well and often will get the rust build-up on the entire hinge after a few years. The National are a little more, I think it is worth it ( ad I'm happy so far)

Very similar, especially in the smaller sizes. The main difference is the construction of the lower par . No huge difference but worth a good look at the pics to see if you have a preferenc . I think if you are going to have standing water in the bottom the Exo Terra may be better. These will have a tendency to leak out the front vent.

I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages. What I like about Progressive is the ability to open or close the vent, and add or restrict water according to a chart they give you telling the appropriate environment for each veggie or fruit. However, I love Tupperware probably just because I am familiar with it over the years and know its advantages and limitations. I like the pliable material used as opposed to the hard material used by Progressive. However, I like being able to see through the Progressive container. On balance, I choose Progressive now. Seems like Tupperware is more expensive too. I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages.

I've own the weber performer silver. I am assuming the platinum is the kicked up model. Having an attached working area and a place to rest the lid are essential to grilling comfort and ease. Assuming the platinum has these features-and probably many more and money is no issue then go for the platinum. Any gill made by Weber is a good investment.

I own several of both containers. The only differences I note is the "pet container" version lid has a round pop up handle and the other has a square. The opening on the pet version is also slightly fluted s lids do not interchange between the two types. I have no idea why the slight difference and both work exactly the same otherwise.

I'm not sure what the size difference is. It may be the soft top that is the difference. 7 cans should be much larger! So may its a mistake on the specs. Preference depends on what you are using it for. This is my husband's lunch box, which has enough room for his breakfast and lunch and dessert.
