    We test popular brands found in supermarkets such as ¶Ù鳦´Ç°ù, Kmart, Ikea and Sistema as well as Tupperware which is available through consultants.

    Our experts put them through rigorous tests including:

  • performance tests to see how leakproof and airtight the containers are
  • durability test to see if they shatter when accidentally dropped
  • stain and odour test to see how they fare after repeated heating and washing
  • ease of use tests to see how easy they are to clean, open and close and stack.
