Why you need an extended warranty for your food storage containers

Written by Justin Smith | Sep 22, 2023 6:08:08 PM

Food storage containers are an essential part of every kitchen, and some of the most multifunctional tools around. That said, sometimes our Tupperware containers are like socks—no one’s stealing them, but they somehow still manage to disappear over time.

You might not think of long term food storage containers as the things you need covered by an extended warranty, but in fact they are that important. An extended warranty plan can help protect your food storage containers from all types of damage that can commonly occur through daily use. When you subscribe to Mulberry Unlimited, you'll get coverage for nearly everything you buy online under the same protection plan, so you can be ready for anything.

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular food storage container options out there, and what types of warranties they come with.

The best food storage containers to level up your leftover game

Food storage containers can quickly end up stained and damaged from frequent use, so it makes sense to invest in ones that are built to last, and get an extended warranty when you can.

Small Tupperware containers

The Tupperware name is so popular that we started to use it to describe food storage containers regardless of the actual brand. Tupperware provides a limited lifetime warranty on their products, and will replace your items as long as the damage is a result of normal use. If your Tupperware bowls or other Tupperware canisters end up damaged or crack due to being dropped, however, the responsibility falls on you and disqualifies you from a warranty replacement.

Ziploc storage containers

Synonymous with plastic storage bags, Ziploc is another popular brand that has its own line of food storage containers. Ziploc containers don’t come with a warranty, but customers are entitled to a money-back guarantee for up to one year from the purchase date. Keep in mind that this won’t cover any accidental damage for your Ziploc storage containers.

Pyrex glass storage

If you’re apprehensive about using plastic to store your leftovers, consider trying Pyrex glass storage containers. While the name might make you think of a Pyrex baking dish or Pyrex cookware more than food storage, there are great Pyrex glass storage containers. Typically, glass is going to last longer, and can also be used in the oven. You can also get a Pyrex set, which will come with containers of different shapes and sizes to fit all your storage needs.

These containers come with a warranty for up to two years from the purchase date, and covers any manufacturing defects and damage due to oven heat. Keep in mind, however, that you will only be eligible for a replacement under normal use conditions—accidental damage is not included.

Oxo cereal container

The Oxo cereal container makes breakfast a breeze. Not only does it prevent your cereal from going stale too soon, but it's also much easier to see what you’re pouring. You can even opt for Oxo containers that match your kitchen appliances, and keep them out on the counter for easy access. This way, you’ll never have to worry about throwing away a half-empty box of stale cereal again, because you'll have the perfect Oxo container for it!

Bentgo

Bentgo is a newer brand that is quickly gaining notoriety for their unique designs that almost resemble Japanese bento boxes. If you want a simple solution for meal prep, a Bentgo lunch box is perfect for taking meals on the go and keeping everything in its place. You can also find tons of exciting Bentgo lunch ideas online. A Bentgo box makes it easy to portion out all your food, plus you’ll look forward to using these containers for their innovative and stylish options.
