Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I usually rate the quality of Sistema goods highly, but after recently contacting them about a disappointingly faulty drink bottle, I have been provided with the lowest possible customer service. I would like to warn other customers that their warranty is ultimately worthless as they do not follow through on feedback. They have shown complete disregard for the customer experience. I have contacted them several times over several months (starting mid Jan 2025) on multiple platforms (email, social media, web-form) with no reply. Finally, after I resubmitted the request again and advised that I would escalate via the ombudsman (late Mar 2025), I received a promise to send a replacement product. This did not eventuate, so I followed up again, to no reply again. I actually can't really believe a reputable international company could behave in such an unprofessional manner. There is no phone contact, and while my experience was eventually excused as a 'programme glitch which has since been rectified', the international consumer relations manager has yet to send me a tracking number for my product replacement. I'm seriously disappointed and would not trust their products or warranty again.

Would give them 0 stars. The most leaky water bottle I’ve ever had. Have to keep it up right at all times. Have the bottle with the lid that screws to open. Absolutely awful, rather just reuse a plastic bottle, at least that won’t leak over everything I own

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

They were good before this year. But, they have changed the design on their food storage containers so the hinge for the clip is on the lid rather than on the base as they previously were. The result is they are too stiff to open once closed. Some things are best left alone.

Clear containers. My partner brings home these lovely sistema brilliance clear containers , great ! , then she bought some sistema ultra , "why would Sistema make two slightly different clear container types almost the same" , the cupboard is crap now trying to figure out which lid goes on what container , one set will be in the shed soon . Disappointed 😞.

I have purchased a number of your products, and found them perfect.
I've now have eight noodle pots, er a bit over the top, I know, but you can use them for so many things.
The lids fit perfectly and there are my favourite colour RED! And made in New Zealand, how rare, not China!

Gone downhill badly

Gone downhill badly. I bought two jugs with lids. The lids leak, so when pouring, the liquid pours out of lid too. It’s now just a cheap nasty waste of money. I will not buy again. They used to be quality.

Substandard plastic boxes that leak.

Substandard plastic boxes that leak.. Please do not waste your money buying this company's products. Especially when they are discounted.. They are poorest quality.. The lids leak despite the locking mechanism.. every single product I bought of this brand - water bottles and boxes - all of them had to be thrown out after only a couple of uses as they were not fit for purpose.. Invest in other products of other makes.

New clasp locking mechanism is not user friendly, you are asking date of experience, 2 years ago but your calender won't let me go back that far.

I have loved purchasing Sistema products for many years. I am so disappointed with their new lids on standard food (usually) containers, extremely difficult to separate lid from containers, the clasps are regularly breaking, difficult to close, in the past I didn't need to force/fight with these containers, please bring back the original locking mechanism. I won't purchase the current design any longer, I am testing out some other BPA free far brands. I would love to support NZ made but unfortunately until Sistema make the very necessary changes you have lost another loyal customer.

I cannot believe some of comments as we have been using your food storage containers for some time. We have bought all sizes and not only do they look great in our fridge with different foods sistema does what it says on the label. Excellent products and would highly recommend them.

Expensive & beyond poor quality!!

Expensive yet beyond poor quality! Bought a thermal lunch box which cost almost £10. Zip stopped working within a day! I have emailed this company twice now and yet they continue it ignore! Do yourself a favour and NEVER waste your time or money on this disgustingly poor product and nonexistent customer service. Will NEVER purchase any of their products, ever again, for as long as I live.

Please go back to the old design

Please go back to the old design. I can’t get the lids to snap on, if I do, then I need to force my fingers in and hurt myself to get them off. Just not a good design any longer and it can’t just be me that avoids using them now.

I’m thinking about buying stuff from another company that is easier to use. It’s a shame because I like Sistema old designs but a gain for another company.

Absolutely ghastly water bottle

Absolutely ghastly water bottle. The first one leaked everywhere, was replaced under warranty. Then the second one, I dropped it on a floor and the whole thing cracked. What does that say about the overall quality? Absolute crap… You can get a lot better in your local Poundshop, trust me !

Massive fail on new design

The new storage container design is a massive fail. They don’t fit in the fridge or cupboard as well and they don’t clip/unclip easily. The old design was fabulous. Despite numerous poor reviews of the new design they insist it has been well received. I smell a rat. Listen to your customers and bring the original design back, Sistema!

Wish I had read reviews before buying

Wish I had read reviews before buying. Bought a 1ltr water bottle in Tesco as I thought it would be handy, threw out the receipt thinking nothing of it. The thing leaks all over me when I drink out of it. What an absolute waste of money.
