Christ the amount of disinformation on this site is astounding. From someone that works "in the field" specifically in the medical area (all those nasty plastics that probably save millions of lives daily, heck I only have a doctorate in the field what do I know), the resin that is used in these types of containers is a copolyester, specifically a resin called Tritan[eastman.com]by Eastman. There are no BPA or BPA analogs used in the production of copolyester, unlike PC. (this is a coPET, where some physical-property-modifying component has been added to the polymer chains of PET to make it more resilient; FWIW PET is what your water and soda bottles are made from) Therefore there cannot be any more BPA/BPS "left" in the resin (container) to do any leeching.
The gasket is made of SPC and ironically is in the same class of resins that is used by a few of my customers in things such as blood bag liners and IV's.
I have a different set of these and they are pretty nice for plastic, I use them to keep the baking cabinet organized
That's probably their best overall use honestly;
We used the other rubbermaid type for years - cloudy containers, red lids that stack - and I bought a couple sets of these thinking they would be better. They *are* - clear, seal better, stack in the fridge better, but they don't store in the cupboard well because the lids are clunky. DW hates them for that reason. The larger ones are great for storing rice, etc in the cupboard though. I just wish they had a better solution for the damned lids.
Most people would do well to avoid putting plastic in the microwave. If it's the kind of thing you're not likely to do, then getting plastic food storage containers isn't going to kill you the few times you nuke 'em. But if you are buying containers so that you can take last nights leftovers to the office to heat up for lunch 4 days a week, get glass.
You are incorrect. Growing evidence suggests that analogs substituted for Bisphenol A (BPA), most notably BPS, are just as bad, and possibly worse than BPA. Of course, Rubbermaid doesn't give a shit about giving you heart or hormone complications. Buy glass.

I like these a lot, especially how transparent the plastic is and stays. Only thing I don't like is unlike the Rubbermaid versions, the lids don't store in any compressible way. They do have a nice thick gasket. The kids have taken over many of these for lego sorting, so I may grab another set.

America's Test Kitchen ranks these as the best plastic microwavable storage containers, and they're right- I own a dozen and they've held up incredibly well.

I love these. We use them for leftover storage as well as pantry storage. I've really started taking things like pasta out of the package and throwing it into these containers when we shop. Makes putting stuff in the pantry so much easier and it's so much more organize.
I am to the point though where we have way too many of the .5cup and 1.3cup ones. I wish there was a deal on the single ones (I also have too many of the tall skinny ones). No matter, they are great!
Those are very nice. Seals very good and dishwasher safe. As others mentioned, may be not best to microwave them. But we do microwave them a lot, yes, they tend to have issue (inner surface kindly like melting a bit) when you run it for too long. I also have ones crack at bottom. But they have good warranty, I have couple of those replace under warranty.
Yes, glass is better and I would never microwave in plastic but this Rubbermaid set is perfect for carrying salads and other lunch items to work. I have a 45 minute walk to work and glass is too heavy.
