I love the Foodsaver vacuum sealer, but found these hard plastic containers are poorly designed. What they didn't consider was refridgerator storage and stacking. The rounded tops prevent stacking and saving space on an already cramped fridge shelf.
The vacuum valve at the top cannot get food on it, because it's impossible to clean. That problem is addressed on the less expensive Foodsaver containers that simply have a rubber flap that seals once the a vacuum in achieved. But even they have that slightly rounded top again, making is impossible to stack.
The problem is solved by Foodsaver's new "Freshsaver" containers, which are smaller, but flat on top.
I have a whole cabinet filled with Foodsaver containers that are more trouble than they're worth.

We've had a FoodSaver machine for about 4 years and love it; we've even given a few as gifts. But we've finally had it with all of their canisters, and will never buy another. They're just made too cheaply, and do not last.
This goes for both the round and the rectangular versions, we've purchased several of each size / configuration over the years. Most recently, we bought 2 each of the 1, 1.5 and 2 quart rectangular canisters, and 3 out of 6 have already cracked -- and so will no longer hold a vacuum -- after only 6 weeks of service. That's right, they lasted just long enough for the return period to expire (either to Amazon or to the manufacturer). And there's no warranty on them!
I think we've used enough of these products long enough that it isn't user error, nor have we abused them in any way (hand washing, and no kids in the house). The only FoodSaver canister-type products that provide any useful life are the quick marinator and the meal/lunch/leftover containers. All the rest are crap, and expensive crap, at that.
It's a shame, too, because it seems that if the canisters were molded just a little thicker and/or made of a less brittle platic, they would last much longer.
As it is, we now have a dozen or so unused FoodSave canister lids lying around. You can't buy just a replacement canister withou the lid, even if you wanted to.
On the strength of some very positive user reviews on this site, we've just placed an order for some FreshVac Professional containers FreshVac 3-405TC Professional 12-Piece Polycarbonate Vacuum-Sealing Food-Storage Container Set with Dividers, which have a lifetime warranty.

Hate to admit it but I am also one to have a cracked 2 quart canister. Two 3 inch cracks appeared at two vertical corners. Looks like the plastic is too brittle and the sidewalls flexing under the vacuum load create stress points that the plastic can't handle. Major bummer since it a great idea and when it works, works very well!

Foodsaver, I understand, will soon be facing a new competitor with its canister line. Finally!
Unfortunately, Foodsaver, chose to market its canisters like baggies and other non-environmentally friendly consumable products. I have to completely agree with many of the other reviewers here. They have a great concept, but because the canisters are not polycarbonate they do not hold up even in lukewarm water. And if you put them in the dishwasher, as endorsed by the manufacturer, even on the top rack, they will crack almost immediately. This is obviously why they do not guarantee the product.
With my first purchase of several different types of the Foodsaver canisters, I followed the manufacturer's instructions and only put the canister pieces of each product in my dishwasher (even on the upper rack and on the low-energy saver cycle!) However, each canister ended up with very fine cracks and therefore could no longer hold a seal, which is the whole point of using them! Now, they're admitting that they don't hold a seal when stored in the freezer!
I can put almost any inexpensive plastic store-bought container in my dishwasher and have it last forever. There is no excuse for the exceedingly poor quality of Foodsaver's canisters.
