5 out of 5 stars I'm a believer!   August 10, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I originally purchased these on a very cynical whim. My mom had tried the "bags" which failed miserably so when I ran across this set I really had very low hopes. Well, here are my results:

So far I've had the same blueberries in one of these containers for THREE WEEKS. I purchased and washed them on July 19th, the day before a dinner party, put them in a Produce Saver bowl and put them in the refrigerator. Some were eaten at the party, many weren't. Today is August 10th and I guess I'm going to have to break down and make muffins with them or something because they're as fresh and plump today as they were 3 weeks ago.
Grapes stay so fresh in the large container (I buy 2 big bags at a time now) that after a week even their stems are still green. The grapes themselves are crisp and cold.
My strawberries lasted for a week the last time before they were finally all eaten. Not sure how long they would hold up as they are pretty popular. I just wash them, drain them, de-stem them and pull out all of the already questionable berries, put them in a medium container (holds about 2 lbs of berries without stems), stuff them in the fridge and walk away. We are just able to reach in and snack on fresh berries whenever we want.
And a big one -- tomatoes. Already sliced or diced tomatoes are nas-tay after they've been refrigerated overnight. I have stored diced tomatoes in the small bowl for a week and a half and they were just as tasty as the day I diced them. Not at all soggy and grainy.
Currently I have one of these sets and an extra medium bowl. It's on my shopping list to get another set ;-) They've already saved me a fortune in fresh produce and I've only had them for about a month! My next experiment will be with bananas.... If my large bowl is ever empty long enough.


1 out of 5 stars Failed miserably!   August 4, 2008

Within 24 hours a container of strawberries had become mushy and one started to mold. The drainage tray takes up considerable amount of space at the base of the container and while the tray keeps the produce from setting in water the container itself is not ventilated enough to prevent condensation from building on the fruit thus supercharging the conditions necessary to grow mold and mildew.
I was not able to put all the fruit in the container and upon comparison to the fruit left in the packaging from the store it was proven that it was not the fruit that was spoiling but the container that was holding in the moisture.
I'm not sure about other fruits and vegetables but on slightly moist/plump fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries,) It failed miserably.


5 out of 5 stars Very good price as set, stack well in fridge and for storage   June 24, 2008

I am not sure how much better these are compared to other containers as far as keeping veggies fresh. However, I like that they have drainage and are completely clear (and rectangular!). Even if they don't keep things fresh longer, I would still recommend them, especially for fruits, salad greens (large size), fresh herbs (esp small size).

Pros: stack really nicely together in fridge
Drainage
very easy to identify contents
Big size perfect for salad (but you would have to say chop romaine to get it to fit)
Fabulous price as set compared to prices individually

Cons:
Seem short b/c of room that the platform needs
Small size just a tad too small to be really versatile
Availability/QC: long time shipping - ordered two sets - missing 1 lid in 1 set
Lids - weird interior ridge, I can't get mine to snap together, I must be missing something, but I don't intend for them to spend any time in storage anyway
Slightly awkward sizing/limited sizing - they won't fit zucchini, eggplant, squash etc...not long enough , not deep enough to stack several medium size tomatoes


5 out of 5 stars Rubbermaid Produce Saver   May 28, 2008

I have had the Produce Saver for about 6 weeks and I find that it does a significant job in keeping Produce fresher as opposed to using the original packaging that the produce came in.

I highly recommend the product for anyone who uses produce on a daily basis and thus buys bulk size items (lettuce, grapes, tomatoes, etc.).
