Lock n Lock 406-Fluid Ounce Rectangular Container with Handle and Drain Grate, Tall, 50-Cup

When you are using a box this big, the handle really helps. I use these containers for many things. For heavy or awkward loads this size is very useful. I bake bread a lot and store different kinds of flour. The rectangular shaped boxes let me neatly stack several boxes holding different types of flour so they take up minimum space in my pantry. It helps that the handle is indented so the top of the box is flat. To identify my different flours I cut the label from the bag and slip it into the box where it shows through the wall so I can tell which is which.I also use this size container for cat food in the barn and bird seed which I store in my potting shed. Apparently since the food is sealed in tightly there is no scent to lure mice or squirrels and I've had no trouble with those critters getting into my stash. It's easy to move because of the handle. One such box holds a collection of gardening items, gloves, clippers, plant food and a few other items. I can carry it to my different garden areas and even leave it out since rain can't get in.In the past I've had trouble with moisture causing hand tools I stored in the barn to get rusty. Now I keep them in such a box where they stay nice and dry. These boxes are great for many items you want to protect from insects and the elements outside or in the garage, barn or garden shed as well as food items in the pantry. My daughter uses one to store all the kids' Lego pieces.I blanch a bit at the cost, but they do seem to last for a very long time and have saved me money by protecting things, as well as making my life a bit easier because of the handles.

These are great. Completely air/water tight. Works very well if you have a pest problem. The size is large enough for cereal, bread, and crackers for me. The only con is that with anything airtight, you have to eat through things quickly or it gets moldy.

I am hooked on Lock & lock. I bought many containers from QVC in the past, but since I found them on Amazon last year I've been buying them here. You cannot get this size on QVC it's huge.Let me start off by telling you why I like Lock & lock. I live in Florida, and had a problem with bugs in the kitchen. My kitchen cabinets are now full of Lock and Lock, and I no longer have problems.The first time I noticed bugs, was when I used some flour from a 5lb bag. At the time, I didn't do much baking so it was quite old. I was horrified to find tiny bugs moving around in it! I've kept the flour in the refrigerator in Lock & lock ever since.I used to store each bag of flour in a single container in the fridge, I have a lot so my fridge was cluttered. I bought this large container, to be more organized. It arrived today and I couldn't be happier, I managed to squeeze in 4 large bags of flour (I'll post picture). I had a little trouble locking the lid, so I simply squished the top a tiny bit, and the lid locked nicely. I don't use flour very often so the container sits at the back of the fridge. The handle is very useful for lifting the 20lbs of flour. Lock and lock keeps it fresh and dry.I have lock and lock in the freezer too, in different sizes, I just cannot say enough about it, it's changed my life. I even found labels on Amazon, I stick them on each container and write on them with a Sharpie marker. You can erase them with alcohol, or give them a scrub, then write on them again.I like to check out the Lock and Lock on Amazon every now and again, to see if a new size has been added. I will probably buy more of these, they are a great size for storing a lot of packets, especially if you buy in bulk. Everything is fresh and together. Lock and lock is air and water tight.Erasable Food Labels Refill, 70 labels

These are good containers but can't withstand a heavy side impact. The lids really stay on strong and I would buy this product again.

I bake bread regularly so I go through a fair bit of flour. I buy 3 different kinds of flour in 25 lb bags, and it's tough to house that kind of volume in regular containers. I can fit 25 lbs of either white flour or whole wheat flour in one of these, and can almost fit 25 lbs of my 7 grain flour (1 loaf's worth of flour won't fit). Now, it takes a bit of jostling for it all to fit (fill, lid on, bounce lightly on counter, repeat a couple times) but it works.It's heavy as all get out, but the handle seems to be holding up fine. I hold the handle and support on the bottom, just in case (plus it's easier on the carrying arm).I use the Oxo Pops to keep my other baking staples in my pantry and it was my happy discovery that one of these is the same depth front to back as two of the large square pops - perfect!Flour keeps well in these, and critters stay out. I have four of these, and while they are pricey for a plastic container, they are well worth it.

This container holds +3 gallons of liquid! It's huge, comes with some sort of grate-looking divider thing inside, probably for separating items. I have designated it as our "Jungle Juice" container for the deep freezer, and it works perfectly! Can carry heavy loads, the handle is not cheaply made, it is very heavy duty and I am sure it will not give under the load for a long long time. It also folds down by itself, which is very nice. This item is extremely convenient, I suggest it to anyone looking for a very large locking container :)

the one I received was severely defective. The base was warped so it was next to impossible to get the lid to close securely. Certainly not the usual one-handed operation as with all my other Lock & locks...even with two hands, it didn't work, so it went back. If this had not been defective, I would've kept it. (Handle is very strong and definitely folds down flat so this could be stacked.) FYI, I found an alternative on Amazon for the storage of pet food... Vittles Vault. (Multiple sizes and about half the price of this L&L).
