RubbermaidFreshWorks Produce Saver Food Storage Container, 3-Piece Set 2016450

PROS:• Increases longevity of most food produce past "Best By" dates, unlike plastic storage bags, which decreases longevity significantly• Less plastic bags usage supports a cleaner and safer environment• Saves gas and frequent trips to the grocery store by allowing more produce to be purchased and stored in one trip without the worrisome of throwing decaying food away after a couple of days• Less bad food thrown away equals more money savings• Green perforated tray keeps produce away from liquid, which maximizes longevity while minimizes decay• Vent holes on the lid regulates airflow, minimizing developed moisture (breeding ground for bacteria) inside• Stacks well on top of each other to occupy less space in the refrigerator for other essentials• No filter changes like some other storage containers• Lid is not flat, but raised to allow more produce to fit, although not recommended• Encourages a more healthier lifestyle by eating fruits and vegetables that would otherwise spoil within a couple of days• Easy to wash and cleanCONS:• Not sealed-proof, condensation and moister does occasionally develop on the inside top of the lid, causing it to drip down onto the produce• All the 2.5 cups ordered came with a sticky residue (as seen in the last picture) that was difficult to rub off• Works well for some produce, but other foods spoiled within a couple of daysTIPS:• Follow the container's instructions and never wash the produce before storage• If any moisture in original packaging, dry them with paper towels before storage• Put produce in storage immediately after bringing home from grocery store for best longevity• Not recommended to overflow, i.e. over the top of the container, to allow better airflow• When buying produce, always pick the freshest and newest to ensure they last the longestTEST 1 (Asparagus)• Asparagus lasted for 13 days, almost 2 full weeks, without any wetness or turning dark green from the tips• The tips are the most desirable places, and usually the first to go bad, but did not• Could have lasted much longer, but it was time to eat themTEST 2 (Romaine Lettuce)• Lasted 10 days from initial storage without any mold or dead leaves, contrary to plastic bags which caused the leaves to become much softer and moldy within a week• Some leaves were not as crisp as initially opened and eaten, becoming soft and limp• Minimal discolorationTEST 3 (Cucumbers)• Lasted only a few days• Spoiled on the 4th day, with mold and moisture development• Wasted money and threw away spoiled produce• A big disappointment in this test that would have otherwise expected to be betterTEST 4 (Raspberries)• Lasted 6 days• No moldy, bruising, or slimy spots, although not as firm as on the first day• Shelf life was longer than in original plastic containers

Based on other reviews I had seen, I took the plunge and ordered these. I think what I now have are three very expensive plastic tubs. The quality and feel are very good and there’s no leakage but I did not get the longevity of produce life claimed in the product description.Can’t recommend these at current price as currently advertised (£24 + £12 duty).

Does the job as advertised. My fruits are definitely lasting a lot longer and stay fresh.Highly recommend this to anyone looking; don'tsecond guess, just get it.

I don't find that these containers help me preserve fruits or vegetables for longer periods.The large one is a great size for storing salad leaves, so there's that...

Wonderful product. Keeps my blueberries and strawberries fresh for longer. I also chuck a few handfuls worth of salad so can just take out what I need every day. Will be buying more!
