IRIS USA WeatherPro 103 Qt Storage Bins with Lids, 2 Pack, BPA-Free Plastic Gasket Box with Tight Latch and Seal, Stackable Nestable Tote Tub - Clear/Black

These Iris/Igloo storage bins stack nicely, have a tight-fitting lid, have lid clamps that seem to work well, and are a nice size for many products. Their generally square-corner design means they hold more or waste less space than many storage bins of similar size. I like the gasket around the lid, which provides a seal. I don't know how long the gasket will last, but under hot, cold, or normal conditions I would expect several to a number of years of durability from the material.It is possible to get the lid-clamping handles to "pop" off, but with a little patience, they can be reattached. Lid clamps on all storage bins are a weak link; however, the design of these handles seems better than many I've used in the past.All plastic storage bins have a finite life; however, some bins have greater utility than others. Many bins taper so much from top to bottom that what they will hold is compromised. Some bins when stacked slide every direction. These bins have relatively straight sides, and when stacked they stay in place (although I'm sure in a vehicle with fast corning they will slide).Plastic storage bins don't have the durability of steel bins with durable lid-clamping handles. What they do have is a price point that makes them affordable for many uses, unlike steel bins. These Iris/Igloo storage bins are priced well for their quality. They aren't the cheapest bins, but they certainly aren't prohibitively expensive. So far I've purchased them in several sizes and am totally satisfied with them.

I’ve bought this twice. Store my ornaments in them. Wanted something I could see in but helps protect against water damage. The containers are strong too. One handle broke, but I think it was my fault. Still gets a great seal from possible water damage. Had something in the past that got water damage when a pipe leaked in a wall. Can use these storage bins for just about anything, very versatile. Like the way the look when staked.

31 quart is perfect for canning jars. If you are ok with them not being in rows you can fit 17 quart size jars. And they work great for smaller jars also, cut cardboard to divide and stack. I've been happy with everything I've gotten from the IRIS brand. Perfect balance of price and quality. I was considering soft side or cardboard storage for my jars and these rodent proof and sanitizable containers are actually less $$. Nearly straight sides, lock together stacked, locking lids with lip and foam seal.

Item arrived damaged, one latch is broken so the top does not securely snap onto the box. Frustrating that the only options are automated returns, when all I want is a refund for the cost of the one damaged item. Disappointing. 👎🏼

I got these for a specific purpose, but didn't think they'd include the lip in the measurements. The actual internal sizes of the 7L version is about 6.5"w x 9"l and just under 6" deep. They won't work for my purpose, but that's probably more my fault. they do seem well-made, however.

Online accolades and complaints can be very helpful, but you have to take them with a grain of salt. Complaints are usually the most valuable, although you still have to be discerning about context, use, and user competence. When things break or are not as advertised, frustration often drives people to share their negative experiences. However, these complaints depend heavily on the user—did they read the instructions, is the broken part due to poor manufacturing or user impatience, are they operating the product correctly, or expecting the correct result? While these factors can muddy the reality of a complaint, the larger volume of complaints compared to accolades allows you to look for patterns, which are often most helpful.Accolades, on the other hand, should be viewed with more skepticism. While similar concerns about users and their environments apply, the most prominent issue is the psychology behind positive reviews. When something performs as expected, does it truly deserve praise? Or is it sufficient that it simply avoids complaints? This is akin to the question: should a reward be given for meeting expectations or for exceeding them? In my view, it's for exceeding expectations. Thus, most people don't rush to share positive experiences when things go as expected.Living on the Texas Gulf Coast, I've faced wide temperature swings, intense summer heat, brutal sun exposure that deteriorates everything outside over time, and the occasional hurricane and rough coastal weather. I've seen money wasted on bins that cannot hold up. Over the years, I've tried bins from at least half a dozen major brands, all of which have failed in some way in this climate. From bins of household goods in storage that collapse over time due to heat, to bins that crack or break with minimal impact, or hinges and locks that fail eventually, I've learned to invest in better quality to avoid throwing money away.Years ago, I started using IRIS black weatherpro bins in my pickup for storage. Today, all the same bins are in perfect condition—the latches still work. Despite being in the hot Texas sun under my bed camper shell, they've never buckled, cracked, or become unreliable.When we began packing up our house for a move, sorting through years of belongings after raising three children, I turned to IRIS again and found their clear "interior" weatherpro line. I've purchased over a thousand dollars worth of these clear bins.The only issues I've had were a shipment with one broken latch and another with one missing latch. Today, I called IRIS directly to avoid returning a large order to Amazon for a single missing latch. Without question, the operator took my address to send me a dozen latches. I then remembered the broken latch from a few orders ago on the black "exterior" weatherpro bins, which have red latches, and asked if she could send me two of each type instead of twelve.Just like that, a quality product backed by a quality company solved a couple of minor problems in mere minutes. That is why I decided to write this review. Over the years, IRIS bins have held up like no other brand, and my experience today, which is rare given the state of household goods sold online, demonstrated both product and service quality that exceeds my expectations. I think that deserves some accolades.

Very sturdy and good quality. Based on other reviews I think the issue with breaks is all about delivery driver slinging and dropping in shipment. I inspected right away and there were no cracks or problems. I think Iris makes great containers, this is my third type - all different sizes.

They are nice unfortunately do to the way they are shipped to of the boxes the snap lock handles were broke off. Otherwise would have been 5 stars. The little peg broke off and they don’t snap back on now. I’ll just have to use them for something that doesn’t need to be air tight.
