I have a few different sixes of these including the 8-piece set here (the one which comes with two small 1-cups, a square baking dish, and an oval baking dish, all with lids.) I absolutely love the Pyrex Easy Grab lineup; I use these everyday and recommend them to almost anyone. I bought my first set of these (before they were named Easy Grab) around what I would guess to be 15 years ago***. Two of them I have used daily and after thousands of cold-hot-bake-wash cycles, they still perform as well as the day I purchased them (and the lids still fit pretty tightly.)
I will admit up-front that I am biased here because I strongly prefer strengthened glass materials for my kitchen. My top preference is borosilicate glass, but I find tempered glass such as the Pyrex Easy Grab line to also perform very well for my needs. The performance of the Pyrex Easy Grab, combined with the excellent value, is why I really like these. As a glass, it does not alter flavors. As a tempered glass, it's durable and capable of withstanding high-heat cooking/baking/cleaning. And as a set with a silicone lid, it works well with liquids.
I also like the flexibility in available sizing & lids. Pyrex offers their Easy Grab line in practically any size you can dream up, and in 3 common shapes (circle, rectangle, and square.) So it's easy to find the sizes that work for you. As another plus, Pyrex offers a few different lid configurations, including one designed for liquids when on-the-go.
The flexibility of Pyrex's lineup also is something I really like. If you need to bake, these Easy Grabs work very well (without the lids). If you need to microwave, these get the job done. When they are dirty, you can throw these in the dishwasher, wash on a high heat setting, and you're good to go. I might throw leftovers in the microwave or maybe the oven...having containers that can withstand whatever method I choose is a big convenience for me.
So how can I not like these? They are versatile, convenient, and very reasonably priced given the quality product you are getting.

===SIDE NOTE -- BOROSILICATE GLASS and the "EXPLODING PYREX"===
***The Pyrex products I have which are around 15 years old were produced by a different manufacturer, using a different type of glass, than the Pyrex products currently available today.
It may be worth noting that modern home-use Pyrex containers are NOT currently made from borosilicate glass. Up until around 2000, it was borosilicate, but it is now a tempered silica glass made by a different company. (Still, I find that Pyrex's Easy Grab lineup has great performance, but I figured I would note this as it initially caused me a lot of confusion.)
That can raise interests in regards to the differences between the older borosilicate and the current soda lime silica glass. More-or-less, borosilicate glass is more heat-resistant and can better handle drastic temperature fluctuations, where as soda lime silica glass tends to be slightly more resistant to damage from shock. Borosilicate is also more expensive to produce, and the price of most borosilicate products reflects the higher materials & production costs (ex: Chef's Plant which makes outstanding borosilicate products, but ones that are certainly not cheap.)
There have been some incidents of catastrophic failures of soda lime silica glass products made by Pyrex & Anchor, where as this is seemingly much less common with borosilicate products. Investigation on this topic found that the so-called "exploding Pyrex" was observed mainly with the newer soda lime silica glass. I do find that both borosilicate and soda lime silica glass products generally perform very well and I do not hesitate to use either for baking. But I am a little more cautious with the silica glass products when it comes to exposing the containers to more extreme temperature shock (the product literature included discusses this.)
By using a silica glass, the Pyrex Easy Grab offers an incredible value to consumers and a product that performs very well. However, if your usage is going to be frequently exposing these containers to DRASTIC fluctuations in temp in a super-short time period, it may be worth considering borosilicate products for those applications (the downside being the price will most likely be higher.)

Perfect for a 9x5 meatloaf!
These are perfect for a 9x5 meatloaf!Bought a 9x5 non-stick meatloaf pan from Amazon. I don’t want to cut the meatloaf in the pan and ruin the non-stick surface or scratch it trying to remove a piece with a fork. The meatloaf pan has an insert that makes it easy to remove and then using a spatula i can easily transfer the meatloaf to this glass container and cut it with a knife. It also has a lid which doesn’t put a tight seal but is good for meatloaf.
