 Failed miserably! August 4, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
 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
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.).
