Perfect for storing guacamole--but don't lose the valves
By Gary on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
I use this for one thing: storing guacamole. I put the leftover guac in this, push the lid down, which seals the guac off from air. The next day, the guac is still great. No brown at all. Use some, put the lid back down, the guac stays perfect. I keep guac in it for several days, with no browning. UPDATE: I just learned how to clean out the top. I thought the little arrows on it were telling you to rotate it while pressing down on the food, but they were to show you how to take the top apart for cleaning. Duh! After using, you take apart the top and clean it by hand. If you don't, old food gunk stays in there. LATER UPDATE: I'm on my third one of these. I dropped and broke one of them. What happened to the other one was that at some point I lost one of the two small blue valves inside the top. Apparently, they can come off and disappear during washing if you are not careful. When I lost the first one, I just covered the hole with a little piece of duct tape and that actually worked fine. But then I lost the second valve and the container stopped blocking air very well. So, I suggest keeping an eye on those two little valves--as well as the loose round rubber seal which is also in there--when you are washing out the top.

Over Complicated Single use item
By Valerie on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020
I can't believe some people are using this for guacamole and other wet items. (However, I must add that the photos of the food in the container only show dry food.) The bottom of the plunger is perforated so any gunk that touches the lid will get into the inner workings of the plunger! And there are a lot of inner workings on this plunger. There is the bottom plastic shell, an inner o-ring that is very hard to remove, the outer sealing flange, the top cap/handle and two umbrella valves. Because this product is so complicated, cleaning would take at least 15 minutes and half of my drying rack. Because of that I would only use this for something that is dry and non powdery. Maybe it would would be good for whole coffee beans, rice, and chips. Not flour, leftovers, or the such. Also beware when reassembling the cap (after cleaning the insides for instance) make sure to completely rotate the two halfs together. If they are not completely closed the air will easily bypass the two umbrella valves and you will not get any sealing at all. Lastly, I asked previous customers how hard it was to lift the plunger. People were quick to tell me that anyone could easily do it. I found the initial lifting hard and unsatisfying. It took about 4x force to initially move the plunger because the cup seal has to invert before the plunger can move. Furthermore, the whole plunger is able to wobble enough that the seal can be completely lost and the cup seal can be completely mashed! I think this is an innovative product, and you are certainly getting a lot of technology for your money, but I find this to be a gimmick at best
