Questions and answers
- Which is better for under-sink storage?
- The Simplehuman organizer. It is a pull-out steel shelf built for cabinets, while the Rubbermaid container is for food.
- Which lasts longer?
- The steel Simplehuman should outlast the plastic Rubbermaid, but the Rubbermaid is shatter-resistant and dishwasher safe.
- Can I put the Rubbermaid container in the freezer?
- Yes. It is freezer safe and airtight, so it suits dry goods and pet food stored cold.
- Is the Rubbermaid container microwave safe?
- No. The listing says it is not microwave safe, so reheat food in another container.
- Will the Simplehuman fit my cabinet?
- Check that your cabinet is at least 35 cm wide and deep enough for the pull-out travel. It holds up to 20 lb.
- Are they worth buying together?
- Yes if you want both cabinet organization and food storage. They do not overlap, so there is no redundancy.
