Big W is doing 50% off all Decor (Food Storage Range) until Wednesday the 6th of March. If you were planning on buying storage products might as well as get this for a lesser price.
Yes
The lids on these seem to break on me.
I was going to pick to some half price Sistema tomorrow, which one is better quality?

Decor will be air & watertight, where the Sistema is not.
However the Sistema are thicker and a bit lore resilient.
Depends on your use case, we have both and prefer the Decor.
Agreed, neither is better in all situations. We also have both. Both can break over time.
* Decor lids are especially prone to cracking if removed while contents are frozen.
* Sistema clips sometimes last years, but can also fail quickly. Sistema seems slightly more prone to cracking if dropped, especially larger containers.
I took a trip to bigw to pick to these containers, and left empty handed. The seal is great, and they stack when empty. For occasional food storage, they seem great.
However, they say they are modular and they are even called match-ups. Which I now know just refers to the lid colour. Unlike Sistema where 2x 1l stacks on a 2l, and two of those stacks on a 4l, these do nothing of the sort.
It's extra frustrating because it's so close! They could easily have made them modular as claimed, but they choose not to. In fact, even the same ones stack extremely poorly. The 2l stacked on 2l has a centimetre gap all around the edge. No reason that I can see, they could have put the edge anywhere and they choose to make it very unstable on purpose. Unlike Sistema which is rock solid stable.
So yeah, if you want to store them when full, get Sistema. If that's of no concern, get the Decor version.
Decor and Sistema being 50% off is like the new 40% Bonds.
Do these seal watertight in contrast to Sistema?
