Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver, Large Produce Storage Containers, 4 Piece Set

Where have these containers been all my life?! Seriously, if you are tired of watching your expensive produce wilt, mold, or turn soggy just days after you buy it, you need this set immediately. I had tried every trick in the book—paper towels, complicated plastic bags, and even just leaving things in the store packaging—and nothing worked. My cilantro would wilt in three days, and my biggest frustration was always my blueberries. I love blueberries, but they would consistently get fuzzy or mushy by day four. The FreshWorks Miracle After switching to the Rubbermaid FreshWorks containers, my produce life has been completely revolutionized. The proprietary filter lid and elevated tray system actually work as advertised: Blueberries: The ultimate test. I am thrilled to report that my blueberries are finally lasting over a week! They stay firm, plump, and perfect, right down to the last handful. This alone justifies the price of the entire set. Greens: Lettuce, spinach, and that aforementioned tricky cilantro stay crisp and green for far longer than I ever thought possible. No more slimy, brown edges! Strawberries: They used to turn white with mold so fast; now they hold up beautifully. These containers aren't just saving my food; they're saving me money and reducing my food waste dramatically. I can’t rave about these enough—they are simple to use, easy to clean, and genuinely extend the life of fresh ingredients. This is a must-have for anyone serious about eating more produce and cutting back on grocery store waste!

These are a total game changer. They keep vegetables fresh for 1-2 weeks or more, depending up on the veg. I have bought them for 3 other friends so far. No more tossing out wilted, slimy produce after just a couple of days!

As a single person I’d always get frustrated bc my produce would go bad so fast. I ended up buying these based on a recommendation of a friend and so glad I bought them. It’s not a miracle worker but I notice that my produce don’t spoil as fast and I can stretch out how long I can keep them.

I have used these clever containers for years for my produce and they do an excellent job of extending the storage life of cabbage, radishes, greens, etc. I recently started making sourdough bread regularly and keep it in the freezer since finding out that you’re not supposed to refrigerate bread (I had been doing that for many years and honestly didn’t notice any problems but I guess I should trust the experts). Anyway, I have had a heck of a time finding a storage solution that is freezer safe, roomy enough, no bulky dials on top like the bread boxes I’ve seen, and easy to open and close with no pain-in-the-neck flaps. I have some arthritis in my hands and find those hard, especially after freezing. I had been temporarily keeping it in my Rubbermaid large produce container, but after using it for weeks now, in and out of the freezer daily, I decided to forgo my search and just keep using this, so I bought another set, the two large and one medium. This way I have three of the large for produce and my bread. I solved the air circulation holes problem on the cover by taping wax paper on the inside of it (see pic). It also provides some extra protection in the freezer. I do like the new design of the bottoms that just have raised plastic bubbles instead of the removable plastic piece, although for produce I think the extra piece is better for very moist vegetables, especially greens, so I’m glad I have the old design as well. It’s perfect for the bread though. The only reason I am not rating this set five stars is because it has several scratches. I don’t mind the visual aspect, I just worry about the scratched areas being more likely to leech into food touching it. I tried taking some pictures but it’s hard to see so I circled the areas.

I was skeptical but these actually work and my produce keeps longer. Easy to use, lid is easy to snap open and close. I use for my lettuce, fresh spinach and celery, but these are produce versatile.

I love these containers. I have several in different sizes, they keep produce fresh for a long time. The lettuce is very crisp,and I have had it for 3 weeks. The lids fit airtight!

I shopped for these months ago, but ended up buying the GreenBoxes because they were less expensive. They didn’t work all that well, though, so I decided to buy a set of these, just to see if there was a difference. Boy howdy, was there... my strawberries have lasted for a week and a half without molding, and I didn’t even have them in the produce drawer. (Containers are a bit tall for that.) Blackberries are going on a week so far, and look perfect. I bought the boxes d/t COVID; usually I just buy what I can eat in a few days, but now, I’ve been going every 10-14 days to the store. That means buying more produce at a time, and worrying more about waste. These have been fantastic. I bought another set of bigger and smaller ones, and just ordered a third. They’re not cheap, but I do love the fact that they are well made, not thin plastic. They are also good without any expensive replacement filters, unlike a certain pricey rival. These are sturdy, much easier to open than the Green Boxes (which matters when you don’t want to send everything flying across the floor), and wash really easily by hand. The newer kind doesn’t have a little perforated tray; they just changed the design to have a bumpy floor in the container. It works beautifully, and it’s nice not to have to clean the tray, too. But I have both kinds now, and both work well. Considering the amount of delicate produce waste I was seeing before this, they’re worth it. I can now save $, buy my berries at the warehouse club, and keep them in these long enough to eat them. I can have more than one type of berry or vegetable at a time with these to extend their life. For a single person, that’s a big deal. I’m most impressed with how they are for berries, but they’re pretty good for delicate mixed greens, too. Getting rid of the others, and replacing with these. FYI: each of these strawberry sized boxes holds 16 oz of strawberries perfectly. I buy the 2 lb box, and use 2 containers. For best results, take out the soft/damaged ones; they’re not going to recover, will just hasten spoilage of others. But the good berries stay good for longer. Love the smaller size (2.5 cup) for 6 oz containers of raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries, even jalapenos or other fresh things that might need to hang out for a while in the fridge.

I've been using the FreshWorks containers for more than 6 year and love my old ones. The prior design (with a separate insert to lift fruit off the bottom of the container) does an excellent job of allowing air flow and keeping produce up and away from moisture / condensation. Produce, especially berries, stay fresh and mold-free far longer in these containers. I can load up when fruit is on sale, and it's still in great condition 7-10+ days later. I can't say the same for the new version. My old containers are constantly in use so I thought I'd supplement with a few new ones. What a mistake! Instead of an insert, the bottom of the new version of the container now has a bubbled texture, presumably to allow condensation to pool amidst those bubbles, but it's completely ineffective. Unless you open the container every day or two and wipe out the condensation, your produce comes in contact with that moisture and turns mushy or starts to mold. Additionally, there's a slight size change so the lids aren't quite interchangeable between the new and old versions. The design change is extremely disappointing. Unless you can find some of the old style on eBay, don't waste your money. The new design isn't worth it.

Great quality veggie and fruit storage!! Does a great job at extending the life of your produce.

Excepcional,maravilhoso conserva bem os alimentos

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

Product does what it says and keeps things fresh. I also like the after sale care they offer. They not just selling a good product but they also care if the client is happy with it. They contacted me and showed real interest. I might buy more.

The produce stays fresh for a long time. We use a lot of green onions and fresh parsley and they are difficult to keep fresh and crisp. But this product does extend the life for sure. I also noticed our spinach and argula salad greens are lasting a lot longer too. I also like that you do not need to replace the filter. Plus they are stackable and fit on the shelves of our counter depth fridge. The lids snap on for a good fit but are not hard to remove. I was hesitant about the "bubbles" on the bottom of the container, not believing they would work that well. But they do and because it is integrated into the container it is one less piece to clean and maintain. I have not put the containers in the dishwasher, preferring to wash by hand, because they don't get that dirty. The bubbles at the bottom are not a big deal but you just have to make sure you have cleaned around them. It is well worth the effort.
