Chipped thermoglass - very disappointed
I have replaced our old plastic microwave containers with Decor thermoglass. We have several different sizes. After only a few uses we noticed that the lids didn’t seal very well. We continued to use them in the microwave and washed in the dishwasher. They were never exposed to extremes of temperature or put in the freezer or used for baking. I have just thrown out the 3rd container because it was chipped. I even found a piece of glass in a curry I was eating! I have well used Corningware and Pyrex dishes given to me as wedding gifts 45 years ago and there’s not one sign of chipping. Decor thermoglass is not a quality product

Great Product
I have been using decor thermoglass dishes for several years now and I am hoppy with their quality. Glass is a lot more hygienic then plastic. I have most sizes but the 1L oblong dish is the one I use most. I purchase from Woolworths when they are on sale and I now have a large collection. Spotlight also stock them. I will never go back to plastic.
Whilst decor may make some of their products in Australia, the Thermoglass dishes are actually made in China

Glass food hygiene
I do not like to use storage plastic containers because of tiny plastics invisible to the naked eye called microplastics I heard that are common inside plastic drinking water bottIes. I use the large 1L thermo-glass container for my mixture of fruits - mixed frozen berries together with two fruits in syrup: pears and peach slices. For extra hygiene, I would rather have a glass lid together with rubber seal and plastic air-release vent because the plastic lid is sensitive to black mould and bacteria that seem to grow along the rubber seal and gr...
Read moreoove where the rubber seal is positioned. After cleaning off the mould from the white rubber seal, I found out that the rubber seal had expanded while trying to fit it back into the lid - solution: use scissors to cut off a few centimetres so that it would fit perfectly in the lid even though a tiny gap might not make much difference for keeping it air-tight.
Purchased at Woolworths.

Unfortunate mishap but wonderful customer service great design
I have many of these Decor Thermoglass dishes. Very good design, very convenient for storing and reheating in same container. I had one explode in my oven (temp only 140 degree) which ruined the whole meal with literally hundreds of glass slivers. Also ruined other items which were warming in the oven. Glass and sauce over the walls, floor, door and door hinges of the oven. A terrible mess.
I now have to discard the other dishes or use only for storage. What a waste. I now have to replace 4 baking dishes with a more reliable brand.
I ha...
Read mored wonderful customer service from the company along with possible reasons for this mishap. The company has replaced the dish along with some other products. I will continue using my dishes as I find the design is great and some of my dishes and lids I have had for many years and always wash in the dishwasher and they are still in good condition and still seal really well.
Purchased in for $25.

Disappointed
Replaced my plastic microwave containers with Decor glass ones.
Lids don't fit properly. After a year two out of 6 of the bowls have cracked... not used in oven, not used at100% power in microwave and not put onto cold surface when hot. Have had other glass dishes for years without breaking. Going back to that brand even though they don't have the pop top lids.

Australian Made Excellent Product
I've bought several Decor glass Thermoseal sealing containers over the past few years and they are noticeably better than their cheaper competitors. The lids seal perfectly. I was used to the cheap Asian made ones with ill-fitting lids so the first time I tried removing the lid from a Thermoseal, I was unable to. I simply hadn't pressed the centre button valve to release the slight vacuum that holds the lid on - a sure sign of a good seal. Decor lids maintain their dimensions far longer than the cheapies too.
Glass is so much easier to clean o...

You don't get such generous service often. Decor makes these here in Australia.Purchased in at Woolworths Physical store for $24.

Good
A little pricey but a good product. I love the range of sizes, and the fact that they don’t leak! So many containers I have purchased leak but not these. They look good and appear to be good quality. Only owned for a few weeks but look like they will last. I hope so anyway. Would recommend this product.

Lid simply doesn't seal
Our container hasn't been used all that much and it looks perfect, but the lid won't seal - so pretty worthless!
Really Decor! For the price, you would think you'd have that worked out.

Use one of these on most days
I have a few of these in different sizes. The main reasons I bought several are that:
The container is glass - I much prefer to microwave cook in GLASS.
The vent on the lid permits microwave cooking, and storage in the fridge without changing containers.
The lid is relatively easy to remove after cooking, compared with the earlier Decor model
The different sizes accommodate most of my cooking/storage needs

Fantastic product and awesome service. Thank you!
One of our thermoglass lid broke - the plastic cracked so won't stay water tight anymore. While the container is a bit on the heavy side (comparing unfairly with plastic ware), it has been a reliable tool and we feel the thermalglass is safer for microwave heating.
Thought I would try to contact Decor to see if I can just buy the lid somewhere, only to discover that the product has changed. They are no longer square shaped but are now rectangular. Anyway, decor told me they still have some square lids and will post one out to us at no cost!...
Read more It just arrived today in the mail and I surprised wife with it. You can imagine how impressed my wife and I were. It is great to find a good product. But when a product is backed by a great company, service and customer care, it makes the product so much better. I have already bought some new rectangular ones before we received the lid. With us Decor has won a loyal customer. Thank you very much indeed!- Date Purchased

Great design but ok
Pros: Easy to clean, perfect for soup because of very good lid seals, so don't worry that the soup will be leaked. And, I feel safer to keep my food in Glass containers rather than plastic.
Cons:They are pricy even I bought at discounted price but the glass is easy to be broken or chipped. And the containers are heavy.

Excellent - makes life better
We bought the 600ml one for storing butter. It holds half a packet perfectly. So we keep half the block in the glass container in the pantry and the other half in the fridge until needed. Works perfectly for us.

Decor thermoglass lids don't seal
I love the look of the Decor products but they clearly have issues with getting good lid seals. They simply do not stay on. This has also been my experience with their mix and match range.

Great design but poor quality materials
Because of our concerns with plastic we got rid of all our old containers and switched to thermoglass. We bought in several different sizes which initially seemed really good; nicely designed with good seals. Unfortunately we bought 3 of the 2.5 litre containers which all chipped within one month of purchase. They are very expensive and Decor were unwilling to replace or refund. I think they should stick to plastic as they don't seem to be able to make a good quality glass product. I have 2 Pyrex dishes which I bought about 20 years ago without a single mark on them so I think I'll be buying Pyrex again in future.
