I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love this set will tell you that.
So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.
----------
50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
3 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)
----------
48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)
----------
40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)
5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
4 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):
4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)
4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):
2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):
3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
1 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
----------
One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.
Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7
3x24 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, 6x7

Vivo Large Round Bento Box, Black, Red, Tan, Brown Review

The setup for this item is great: four stacking (and interchangeable) bowls plus a lid...all held in place via the tension lever on the hinged handle. Does a good job of keeping most things contained and will handle liquids well, too, if kept relatively vertical.
Make note of the size of the bowls and the unit overall; I wasn't paying attention and wound up getting something a lot bigger than expected. It still works out...I have dry oatmeal in the bottom container for a few days worth of oatmeal breakfasts at work, then snacks of some sort (currently peanuts) in the second-to-last container. That leaves the top two for rice/couscous/bread/tortillas and whatever meat/veggie/etc. component goes on/in/with the prior bowl's contents.
One drawback is the nature of how it works; it is very sturdy and more or less sealed if you have all four bowls plus the lid on...but if you should take a bowl out (for cleaning or snacking or the like), there's no way to keep everything else together tightly. The structural straps and handle will stay at the four bowl 'height' and the tension latch won't work other than to loosely hang if you need to carry it all via the handle.
All told, though, the bowls are very strong...no problems in the microwave, no marking from being used in the dishwasher or with silverware, no staining from curry or tomato based soups or sauces.
Very, very useful, especially if you want to pack a week's worth of lunches or feed 4-6 people a day.
