I bought one of the Reynolds Handi-vac that pull the air out of the bags with the special bags to store the appetizers I premade. I was very disappointed. I pulled the tab out of the battery section to use it and it just went "rrr" and the battery died. I pressed the air out as best I could and brought them to my niece's house for storage.
My niece happened to have one of the gadgets that worked. She told me she had to return the first one she got because it did the same thing. Then I found out my mother had the same thing happen to her. I think the 50% failure rate on the thing is high. I'm not sure it will be worth it to exchange it and may just return it. Any feedback from other members for me?

>Fess up, how many popsicle makers did you end up buying?
Oh,yes.. we have quite a few of those lying around. I actually used them for the first time in many, many years when my son got sick and I had no popsicles around.
I have that baking mat with the circles for pie crusts as well. I don't use it very often, however. I find it easier to just roll out dough on my marble slab (though clean up is a bit trickier). I keep it rolled around on of my spare marble rolling pins- so it's not a problem, which is why I probably keep it around. I also have a wooden cutting board with the same circular markings. Perhaps I will like using that more- I don't think I've ever used it.

One way I think of the Tupperware and any other high quality products, is there is always imitators,
like Kraft Macaroni and cheese and other name brand products, Snapon Tools, Craftsman tools, versus walmart tools and brands
they may try to look alike but they do not have the same quality that you pay for with the name brands that are tried and true. Most products don't stand behind things like those companies do either & of course it is always great to find a sale on those items too..
those pastry sheets are AWESOME!
I knead my bread doughs and roll out cinnamon rolls, cookies, biscuits and other on mine 
I just roll mine up and store in a drawer or in the cabinet over to the side with my cookie sheets, they have changed the texture on the newer ones slightly so if yours ever cracks, splits, tears, peels or anything let me know and will replace it.

I have to agree with you tamire1, that items with lifetime warranties are almost never worth the extra cost. ALTHOUGH, I bought a Tupperware pastry sheet many moons ago, which is this heavy plastic mat about 18 inches square marked with circles for pie crusts of various sizes. I've used that mat for years mostly for rolling out biscuits and it is extremely handy, but hard to store easily.

One thing about it that there is a lifetime warranty and there is no constant throw aways,
so when you buy it that is an investment & will save you continual money being spent on other products
*there is no original receipt required for the warranty either*
all you need is the product and the tiny mold number off of it.
The products do have a lifetime warranty, if you need a seal replaced contact me and I can help you with that, if you ever have an item that is no longer available that needs replaced they will replace both parts if its a bowl and you usually get an upgraded product so never throw it away without using your warranty
There are sales every month and it is surprising sometimes what products they put on sale & the discounts you can get, that is the best time to get new products like this month alot of the microwaveable products are 40% off or more & they have bonus exclusive sales too.

Here's my deal w/Tupperware... It is SO expensive AND I have not gotten wind of a "Tupperware Party" in years...??? I realize that it carries, or at least USED to carry, a lifetime warranty. Truth be told, I have 1 beloved salad bowl lid, to be specific, that I have attempted to have replaced for 3 or 4 years now and have had no success.
I love the pieces that I own, but see no reason to purchase any additional/current items. The very high cost and, in my very OWN experience, the lack of ability to utilize the warranty, well just not worth my investment.
Although, these "fridgesmarts" have stirred my interst... I must be still.....

Thanks on the name...LOL
Oh yes,the Tupperware fridgesmarts are amazing they do work like they say.... it took me awhile to try it out for myself and I was kicking myself for not getting any sooner. If you like super crunchy salads it is awesome! I take the bags of salad and place in there and its SUPER CRISPY plus lasts several weeks if we don't use it up, the bottom of the container has ridges that let the moisture go down from the product it is just a really amazing container and there are several sizes too.
Tupperware has the fridgesmart containers and they work like they say, strawberries last 2 weeks or more with no mold and no mess, they are a true investment and one of the best products out there. If you like really crunchy salad these containers with the vents really make your lettuce crispy & fresh so much longer. Well worth the money, they have a lifetime warranty and are environmentally friendly.

That was one I never had, but I do remember it at the parties.
Fess up, how many popsicle makers did you end up buying?

I loved that tupperware container...it was great for bringing a single piece of pie to work or sending with my daughter (when she was in kindergarten) to school. It was also good when you had a home made pizza and just had a single serving left that you didn't want to throw away. Sadly, mine was thrown away when my daughter decided it wasn't any fun anymore

LOL- oh yes. We have (or had- I think I finally decided to part with it during the move) a tupperware container for a single piece of pie. Now, how often does one use that?!? And because of it's odd wedge shape, pretty much nothing else ever fit into it!

Tupperware was a *big* thing for my mother's generation, and carried over even into my early married years. (As in you were invited to a party at least once a month.)
I have a whole cupboard of my different pieces (yes, it's a mess) and made sure to collect my mother's when she passed away. I swear they have a container for near about everything.

byspitt (I love your name, by the way) I have a ton of Tupperware I've accumulated (and would never part with) & I must say that most of it does do what it promised to do BUT... I have not bought any new pieces in, oh my, probably 20+ years. Everything just seems so very overpriced when there are so many other options "these days" to choose from. This FridgeSmart you mention, honest, they work as expected??? I may just have to give them another try.

Tupperware has the fridgesmart containers and they work like they say, strawberries last 2 weeks or more with no mold and no mess, they are a true investment and one of the best products out there. If you like really crunchy salad these containers with the vents really make your lettuce crispy & fresh so much longer. Well worth the money, they have a lifetime warranty and are environmentally friendly.

LOL I agree... it's very fun to "window shop" the gadgets. I just have to be very careful that I don't fall too in love with one. There have been far too many times I have, brought it home, then found I never used it.
