Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Storage Containers Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "The containers are also sturdy, have survived several-foot drops onto wood and concrete flooring with little scratching, and are easy to clean."
• "These are amazing! I left a sweet pepper in one by mistake, and went on vacation for 2 weeks. Just ate the pepper when I returned; perfect!"
• "The plastic is very sturdy, I’ve dropped it accidentally on the ground but it still looks like new."

Cons:

• "Also I dropped a lid from my counter to floor and it chipped/cracked immediately."
• "The only issue I had was one of them developed a crack in the corner and then became a hole."

Storage Efficiency

Pros:

• "They don't take up much space because they fit inside each other and do such a good job of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh."
• "The lids on these give them more interior space; I can get a full pint of blueberries in the small ones without crushing any."
• "The size is perfect for our small fridge, takes up less than a quarter of a shelf!"

Cons:

• "They take up too much room in the frig and storage."
• "These boxes can take up some room though so you'll need to be sure to keep a tidy fridge!"
• "They also don't stack so they take up A LOT of fridge space."
• "Doesn't stack well for storage, takes a lot of space storing containers in kitchen cabinets."

Preservation of Freshness

Pros:

• "After washing I put my store purchased fruit and lettuce, spinach, etc. in the bin & they stay much fresher longer."
• "These definitely keep produce fresh for much longer than any regular container."
• "It keeps them fresh for weeks."
• "They keep blueberries for 2 weeks!"
• "Most items are good for at least twice as long as when stored by other means."
• "Always had a problem keeping scallions for more than a few days - this keeps them fresh for a couple of weeks."
• "So glad to be able to cut down on food waste and save money in the process!"

Cons:

• "I bought these containers for use during quarantine in hopes of preserving my fresh berries for longer... My strawberries were wet and moldy in a short period time."
• "These containers are comparable to storing produce in the plastic bags in which they were purchased at the market... These containers are simply a gimmick."
• "The inlay and the filter do NOTHING to preserve the life of opened salad in the fridge."
• "These containers do nothing to keep the produce placed in them fresh."
• "But the bigger problem is trying to remove fruit without spilling the liquid that accumulates at the bottom of the tub."
• "Both containers had mold on the fruit within a couple of days."
• "The ones in this container spoiled much FASTER."
