FreshWorks Saver, Medium Produce Storage Containers, 2-Pack, 7.2 Cup, Clear

Excellent product but there is a very similar make for a fraction of the price of Rubbermaid.

My wife had seen them online how good they are being a little sceptic I did order some and you know what they great keeping food stuff very fresh soft fruit and veg that normally go off within a few days stayed fresh so much so we ordered another set that arrived from the USA within a few days one of the best buys we have made give them a try you will not be disappointed

I ordered this set hoping that the new style with the bumps was significantly better than the old style with the crisp tray I have, but for some reason my order was missing pieces. I received the 18.1 cup large, but was missing the 11.3 cup large short container, and instead of a 7.2 cup medium and a 4.6 cup medium short container, I received two 4.6 cup medium short containers. I also noticed that the new 18.1 cup large was the same size as my old style 17.3 cup large container. It makes me wonder if the new style 7.2 cup medium is the same size as the old style 6.3 cup medium container, but I don't know the answer to this, since it I didn't receive the 7.2 cup size. Looking at the old style crisp tray, I could be mistaken but I don't think it could take up almost a cup of space, so I'm left wondering which measurement is correct.I tried out and compared the old style with the new one before I decided whether or not to get a replacement set. I would say that both the new and the old style FreshWorks containers are sturdy. I like that they both have lifetime filters built into the lids and the containers are dishwasher safe. You can see before and after pictures of my bananas, lettuce and berries. For the bananas, I thought the results were very similar between containers and no container after about 5 days. The new style might be slightly better since the banana didn't have quite as many brown spots and was just very slightly more firm than the banana in the old style container, and the banana in the old style container was just slightly better than no container. Overall though, all the bananas were ripening at around the same rate, so it was a draw. For the lettuce, the results were again similar after 5 days, however the lettuce in the new style container faired better than the lettuce in the old style container and the regular air tight container actually performed almost as well as the new style container. I would say the new style container won the lettuce round. For the berries after 1 week, I found that the old style container performed much better than both the new style container and the store berry container. You can see the change in colour (more pink) of the berries in the latter two containers. I found that the store container berries were soft after 1 week, and the berries in the new style container were just starting to get soft. However, the berries in the old style container were firm, kept their original colour, and tasted just as fresh as the day they were purchased when I tried them 2 weeks later! The old style container is the clear winner for the berry round.Let me say that I have always been a Rubbermaid fan. Based on the results I got, if I didn't already have the old style containers, I probably would have reordered the new style just to keep my lettuce fresh. However, since I didn't see that much of a difference between my old style set and the new style set, I decided to return the set rather than get a replacement. For berries though, I prefer the old style container with the crisp tray. Another factor that led me to to decide against reordering a replacement set is that I purchased my 6 piece old style set for half the cost of this 8 piece set. For the price difference, I really expected much better performance, so unfortunately, I found that the value just wasn't there in this set, especially since the removable crisp tray is no longer included. To make the new style better, I hope Rubbermaid brings back the removable crisp tray but also keeps the bumps on the bottom of the container so that we have the option of using the containers with or without the removable crisp tray, depending on what we are storing. Overall, I recommend the new style of FreshWorks containers for lettuce and the old style containers with the removable crisp tray for berries.

I expected to get the same model as what I currently have, which has the green removable bottom and allowed good air flow. These different containers with the ridges don't do anything at all, and aren't any better than a standard cheap container. Why did they change the design? The lids do not fit snugly either. Overall, very disappointing.An open container with a towel over top is probably just as good. I'll be returning these immediately.

I have these in every size and I love them. I received them as a gift and have purchased more for myself and my daughter. They really do keep vegetables and fruit fresh much longer. It says not to put cut fruit and veggies in them but I do it all the time and they still work to preserve them longer. Sometimes with certain veggies I put a dry paper towel just in to absorb any excess moisturebut, you really don’t have too
