Review: They've ruined these - clips now too tight to use!! - I bought one of these about a year ago and it was a great, quality item (I still have it and I expect it to last many more years). However, my recent second purchase found that they seem to have changed the clip strength. They are now so tight, that even with the large Systema clips, I find it impossible to open and get into. Maybe if you stuck it under your arm lost a couple of nails off your fingers, but what good is that if you have food inside it, you'll just end up chucking everywhere. Shame, it was perfect, but now utterly pointless and not fit for purpose.
Review: Some problems - Whilst the product is sturdy and well made the problem is the lid retaining clips are so stiff the opening them when coming out the microwave is a major headache especially whilst hot - I have a strong grip but this beat me - as used unable to send back - I thought after several uses it would become easier but it hasn't so disappointing

### ⭐ They've ruined these - clips now too tight to use!!
*by K***S on 15 November 2019*

I bought one of these about a year ago and it was a great, quality item (I still have it and I expect it to last many more years). However, my recent second purchase found that they seem to have changed the clip strength. They are now so tight, that even with the large Systema clips, I find it impossible to open and get into. Maybe if you stuck it under your arm lost a couple of nails off your fingers, but what good is that if you have food inside it, you'll just end up chucking everywhere. Shame, it was perfect, but now utterly pointless and not fit for purpose.

### ⭐ Some problems
*by P***E on 19 July 2020*

Whilst the product is sturdy and well made the problem is the lid retaining clips are so stiff the opening them when coming out the microwave is a major headache especially whilst hot - I have a strong grip but this beat me - as used unable to send back - I thought after several uses it would become easier but it hasn't so disappointing

### ⭐ Sistema won't do circles properly in this size
*by P***R on 16 May 2021*

I use a fair bit of Sistema microwave stuff in a year in which I've had to feed myself without a cooker (don't ask!). Their range is generally useful and sturdy. Not this - both useless and both too sturdy and yet not sturdy enough. Two problems here: 1. The clips which really are very hard to open and close. They are the standard large ones used by Sistema but the curve of the dish means that they are awful here, when they work quite well on other bowls with more shallow curves (their almost square dish of similar size which I also have 1106ZS - has no such issues - search for it on Amazon). I found it easier to use two to fix it with a third to hold it steady. Partly this was also of necessity as the other flew out of my hand! 2. The red seal between the bowl and its cover. It comes off, flaps about and it's often unclear which way up the seal fits. This when all is hot. And while grappling with the clips. It's difficult to fathom why. Their soup mugs (smaller and larger), their porridge and noodle bowls, all cope with seals and are circular. They could use similar clips on this and fix the seal. Or larger custom clips as on the 1106ZS. So why don't they? It's as if the designers never use their products. Binned most of this now. The bowl will stand under something somewhere, I'm sure, but the rest increases unnecessary plastic landfill, to both my and Sistema's shame. If you want a microwave steamer, try the other one mentioned here, or another brand, or a glass casserole. But avoid this. One last point, please Sistema, consider making mictowave vessels that are stackable. Please!
