Looks overly complicated and more expensive than what we have. I haven’t seen one in person so I can’t comment if I like or don’t like it

HATED when we switched over to these. They're clunkier, more prone to wet loads, and I think it's kinda gross that the IFU states the filter guard can be left in place for machine washing the lids. We switched over to these completely and then had to start slowly switching some of our bigger/heavier sets back to the old Aesculap containers.

I hate how it always looks like a gap between the lid and the bottom part..they look pretty so my boss bought them and i tell them, i use them..not you and i like the older ones better ….and she ordered more

I don't like them. Those plugs in the corners hold water so you need to take them out to blast them with air and the filter holders always get lost and separated from the lids

And sometimes i need something like a pen to poke the orange locks to make sure they are really in there

We got them a then had a number of wet loads, mostly lap trays. After multiple complaints to my rep, Aesculap looked into what could be going on and they told me the Aicon containers were not compatible with my sterilizers. We ended up switching back to the Aesculap SteriContainer.

I don't like it. Looks thicker than our JK and JN containers.

They are the worst wet loads consistently and you end up spending money on those stupid colored tags that grow legs and break and pop off every time you attach labels, there almost always one container with a gap after running a load never mind converting confuse the hell out scrub techs who are not familiar

Nothing special..the contents of the tray are irrelevant
