Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar Review

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These carafes are like artwork in the refrigerator. The acrylic jar is sturdy and easy to handle even when full.
Washing has not been a problem as long as the contents aren't allowed to dry (meaning rinse it out as soon as it becomes empty).
The worst part about this product is the lid. The flip-top lid does not stay open unless it's pushed all the way back. Then, when pouring, the contents splashes because there's no vent hole in the lid. Lastly, the shape of the lip on the lid causes a small, but very noticeable amount of liquid to remain on the lid, which unfortunately turns into a gross and crusty mess very quickly. I would recommend keeping a towel or rag near-by to wipe off the lid after each use.
Update - 3 months after purchase
I purchased several of these carafes and in just 3 months one has been discarded because it cracked on the bottom and began to leak, while all the others have developed cracks in the neck. I would strongly recommend against purchasing this product for refrigerated liquids.
It seems to be more well suited as a serving container that will be used for an event and then emptied before being stored.

BUTTER KEEPER with Measure Grid Review

BUTTER KEEPER with Measure Grid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this butter dish. It fits inside the compartment in our refrigerator door and I like that it's clear and you can see the butter stick inside it. The measuring marks can be handy at times, too. The lid fits nice and snug so you can lift the dish by the lid and it won't come off. The only thing to comment on is that the bottom, where the butter stick sits, is flat, i.e. no ridge or well to hold the stick in place. So, the butter stick can slide a little on the surface and if you're a bit messy with the butter, the butter can get off the edge of the dish a bit. But, that has not been a problem for us, as we don't see it getting messy enough to matter, and we don't leave our butter sitting out where it could begin to melt and try to run off the bottom. So, we recommend this butter dish as a good one to try if you're in the market for such a thing! We like ours!

I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love this set will tell you that.
So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.
----------
50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
3 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)
----------
48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)
----------
40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)
5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
4 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):
4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)
4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):
2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):
3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
1 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
----------
One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.
Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7
3x24 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, 6x7

BEVERAGE CONTAINER - 2 GALLON Review

BEVERAGE CONTAINER - 2 GALLON
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This two gallon BPA-free container is just what I wanted to hold an extra-large amount of lemonade. The placement of the handle allows the jug to be stored in the refrigerator with the spout on the top side, so you can rest assured that there is absolutely no possibility of leakage from the spout. When the jug is removed from the refrigerator in this same position, the handle allows it to be carried easily to the table or outdoors without the loss of a drop. When you arrive at the serving location, there is a tiny bit of leakage from the spout as you tip the jug into the serving position, but this amounts only to a couple of drops and stops immediately. In actual use, the spout is drip-free. Great product. Highly recommend!
