The packaging of the food containers leaves a positive impression. The shipping carton is made exclusively from recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard and is kept compact, which helps to minimise waste and avoids unnecessary packaging material. However, the use of plastic film inside could be avoided and it would be desirable to use recyclable material. The contents of the packaging are complete and in good condition. Instructions for use are not required as the product is self-explanatory.

In this practical test, we take a closer look at the Dimono® food containers. The containers do not develop any unpleasant odours, keep potatoes, onions and garlic fresh and offer enough space for approx. 3 kg of potatoes, 2 kg of onions and 0.5 kg of garlic bulbs. However, the containers can also be used for other foods. Strategically placed ventilation holes ensure very good air circulation, keeping the food fresh for longer. Cleaning the containers is easy, but there is no specific information on the material used, so dishwasher suitability cannot be clearly confirmed and cleaning by hand is recommended. The design of the containers is simple and modern and blends harmoniously into any kitchen or pantry. The stackable design saves space and keeps things tidy, while the containers have no sharp edges, making them safe and pleasant to handle. The lids close tightly and securely, ensuring reliable food storage.
Overall, Dimono food containers offer a high-quality and well thought-out storage solution that is characterised by good compatibility with various foods, effective air circulation and user-friendly handling.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. A rare criticism is that the containers would be more versatile without labelling. On the other hand, the high-quality workmanship, the large storage space and the aesthetic design are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the vegetable storage boxes with their high-quality workmanship and user-friendliness are very suitable for storing various foods and, with their modern design, fit harmoniously into almost any kitchen.
Prices of up to €67.60 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €19.97 . The Dimono® food containers are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €29.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
