Great product, but don't buy the Mini through Amazon/Prime!
I bought the Mini version here, wanting to try them out. I haven't seen them in stores locally although I have liked the other Preserve products I've tried. So far, the product is great... cute, just the size I wanted, and I like the screw-on top since it doesn't leak. The only downside I can think of is that if you have more than one, you can't easily tell what's inside since it's not clear or even slightly see through (the cap is, though, so you can always peek through that).
Anyway, the product is great, but as of the time I am writing this, don't get it through Amazon/Prime. Normally I hate reviews that don't review the product but complain about shipping or the cost, but I wanted to warn people. When I bought it it was about seven bucks, and for that price I was assuming I would at least get the 2-pack, and thought maybe I'd get the six-pack since an image of that was shown in the product images. (I wasn't really thinking that since I kind of knew better, but I was...
Review for 19-oz Small container AND mini
I wish Amazon would split these items apart so I could review them separately.
19-OUNCE SMALL CONTAINER: *** stars
Unfortunately, anyone who has smaller hands, like kids, will not be able to open this thing. The screw top is simply too wide to get the hand around. That's unfortunate, because we'd expect the screw tops to be much more leak-proof than a pop-top container, but as it is, the Small container is unusable. Pop-top containers for now.
8-OUNCE MINI CONTAINER: ***** stars
This size screw-top is excellent for any sized hand (probably not toddlers, but that could be a good thing). 1 cup is perfect for carrying around all sorts of snacks that you don't want crushed (e.g. hard-boiled eggs, crackers, nuts, fruit) and the reusability compared to, say, a ziploc/zip-top snack bag is infinitely better. Other uses: salad dressing, yogurt, cheese cubes, etc.
BONUS POINTS:
BPA-free and completely post-consumer recycled #5 plastic...
Great eco option!
I have bought several different sizes of the preserve products & love them all. My reason for not giving it 5 stars is that sometimes they are hard to open with the twist top (especially if you freeze them) but otherwise, they are great! LOVE that they are recycled, BPA free and use my favour yogurt containers for their raw materials. Highly recommend all sizes and shapes.
