Do the bowls have mold with daily home use ? How long that mold starts showing up? Thank you

We washed the bowls after every feeding and still the mold appeared. I'd say it took about a month for it to appear.

I noticed a few moldy spots on the inner bottom approx. 15 days after having it filled with water almost all the time except during the cleaning.

I'm using this in a hermit crab tank for their fresh and salt water and I've had no mold, even with the humidity in the tank consistently in the high 80's to low 90's.

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

I have had mine for 10 months now with continuous use and have some discoloration and occasionally some slime from the water but nothing that I would call mold.

My husband and I use this bowl set only has a back-up while traveling with our pet because of its folding ability. I would not advise using this bowl daily because the bowls are plastic and could easily trap contaminated food.

I've used my bowls in the Microwave and washed them in the dishwasher with no problems, Williams Sonoma sells a different brand that's French made that looks the same in style with sizes that are different than the A Krupp bowls, I have bowls from both French and German Companies, I'm very happy with the bowls and use them daily.

I posted that I had mold on some. Since then, the company sent me three boxes, and Amazon replaced the box. I haven't had any mold on the new ones. I also have to add that the company was very responsive They wanted to know exactly where the mold was (on the fig or wheat part) and the expiration date. I love them so much that I will continue purchasing them. The Amazon price is awesome!

I, too, have had mine for a year or so and they have not chipped while nested. However, I would recommend either cheap washcloths between each bowl or some kind of soft, thin material to line each bowl; but even those precautions will not prevent chipping when the bowls are in use, or being hand washed. Good luck.

I have never had mold. Even on old covers. They do become discolored, but if they keep my chairs clean and dry, they are doing the job. I always hang them up when off the chairs and place them in sunlight to dry if they get wet.

Yes, Rebecca. I put the bowls in the dishwasher and have never had any problems. Great bowls!

I put them in an open bowl in between chew times. It doesn't seem to get brittle from the dryness and I haven't seen any mold.

I just rinse them out so easy to clean, never put easy clean items in dishwasher.it doesn't have anything on the bottom of bowls, I would check kitchenaid site first. I just love these bowls and I hate plastic!

As the others have said they will sit about halfway into one another. As for the the mold issue, I have not experienced that. I always handwash the covers and try to be careful to clean the edges of the bowl before replacing the cover so no food will get into the sealing groove. I leave the covers off in storage and also let them sit on the counter after washing for at least 24 hrs to dry thoroughly. One of my covers was ill fitting when they first arrived (loose) but has since seemed to regain it's proper size. Hope this helps.

Hi Shantanu - I am not at the property where these are stored so I am not able to view the bowls and see if there is a manufacturing mark. I doubt that there is one. I do not know where these bowls are made. S.

No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

I've had for about 6 months and wash in the diswasher on Hi-temp Wash with a Sani-Rinse and a heated dry...no issues so far. These are probably the best bowls I've owned. Mine did not come with the lids pictured though...and I can't remember if the photo showed them for the product I purchased or not.

I have had mine for about 6 months and no mold. But, we do not let it sit in the water. We use it to fill the baths and then take it out of the water once the kids go in.

No. Had about six months and have not seen any mold. My husband thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread!

No mold problems yet, but I've only had this for a few months. We leave it on all the time. If it were to get mold I'd put it in the dishwasher.

No. I have had them for a few months and have been washing them either by hand or in the dishwasher. No mold problem so far

Yes, I have. I have to clean it out every couple of days.The rate that the water fills the bowl is not enough to clean the mold and the water does not circulate.
