In our test, the storage jars from Clidor made a very good impression. The storage jars are made of robust glass, which is 3 mm thick. The vacuum lid made of bamboo ensures safe storage of food as it does not allow air to pass through. Unfortunately, the bamboo lid has to be cleaned by hand, but the jars can easily be cleaned in the dishwasher. The jars can be clearly labelled using the stickers and pen provided. Unfortunately, it is not possible to store liquids safely in the storage jars as the jars are only closed with a rubber band and not a screw cap.
Advantages
✅ Robust glass thanks to 3 mm thickness
✅ Safe storage thanks to vacuum lid
✅ Easy cleaning in the dishwasher
✅ Labelling with included stickers and pen
Disadvantages
❌ Not suitable for liquids as the lid does not have a screw cap
The first impression
The packaging and labelling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product specially wrapped in foam | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Sustainable cardboard without plastic, foam not sustainable | 75 points |
| Product labelling | Labelling available on packaging | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | High-quality packaging, also suitable as a gift | 100 points |
| Total | 94 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The Clidor brand storage jars arrived in the typical Amazon box. The box was undamaged. Inside was the box containing the storage jars. It was easy to open without any tools. The box was also beautifully labelled with the product description. There was also foam inside the box to protect the jars. In this case, the product was fully protected and the storage jars were therefore in perfect condition.
The packaging of the storage jars is partially recyclable. Unfortunately, the foam is not recyclable, but the cardboard is.

The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

*The maximum score is 100 points
The mix of the glass and the natural bamboo lid gives a very nice visual appearance. The two components are also very well made and give a stable impression. The 3 mm thick glass in particular looks very sturdy and can withstand the odd fall. Unfortunately, the rubber seal is not entirely durable, but overall the storage jars make a very high-quality impression, meaning that they will last a very long time.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| quality | High-quality materials, no screw cap | 95 points |
| Design of the glasses | Simple design with bamboo lid, fits in any kitchen | 100 points |
| Food protection | Protection against moisture through closure, but not suitable for storing liquids | 80 points |

| Total | 94 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Every time you use the storage jars, you notice the extremely high quality of the storage jars. You also notice when you open the lid that it is very tight. Thanks to the simple design of the jars with the natural bamboo lid, the storage jars fit into any kitchen or pantry. The storage jars also protect against air, moisture and moths, although the jars are not suitable for storing liquids as there is no screw cap, only a rubber seal. The storage jars can be stacked on top of each other and also individually labelled using the stickers and pen provided. The three different jar sizes also help to store them perfectly in the kitchen. Overall, the storage jars were more than convincing in all areas.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Average price, very good performance | 95 points |
| Rating cut | 5.0 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 100 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 5.0 stars. The only criticism is that the storage jars are not suitable for liquids. Many customers like the high quality. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the quality was extremely good.
Prices of up to €49 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €34. With a price of €39.99, Clidor storage jars are currently in the middle price segment. The price ratio is very good for the quality and range of services you get.
