Works as Advertised

I was a bit skeptical at first about how effective these containers would be. I tested them out on a pint of strawberries. Usually these go bad within 2-3 days if left in the regular clear plastic containers they are sold in. I was essentially able to get at least 1 extra week out of the strawberries before they showed a small hint of them starting to go bad. Definitely would consider a future purchase if pricing is right. I've seen them on sale at Costco in a pack of 3 for $20 which is pretty decent.

Not magic, but buys you a few more days.

I was lucky enough to get to try this free from Chickadvisor #gotitfree

I tested with strawberries because that's what was on the packaging and looked impressive. After five days you can see a difference between the ones in the Freshworks container and the ones in the plastic container from the store. In the picture here it is the one on the right that was in the Freshworks container. I wouldn't say that it keeps fresher 80% longer as they claim, but it buys you a few extra days. Although I wish I had thought to put a few strawberries in a regular tupperware to compare that as well.

A Good Product

I received this product for free from Chick Advisor in exchange for an honest review. We are big fruit lovers in our family and love any container that would extend the lifetime of our beloved produce. Many of the ones available on the market are less expensive but haven't really done much--if anything--when it came to extending the life of our produce.

The Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver is on the higher end of the price scale, but it does work--for some fruits, that is. While cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and blueberries did, indeed, look quite good up to 5 days post-purchase, our grapes didn't fare well at all. We are going to be running experiments on other produce with the hopes that they will fare well; if they do, we might consider purchasing a larger container for our salads.

This product is well worth it for those of you who eat a lot of fruits and tend to throw out a lot because they are not eaten fast enough; you will no doubt make your money's worth in no time.

Much larger than expected!

I was worried that the container would be too small or awkward to be useful, but it's actually working pretty well. Got a bunch of cherries that are being kept nice and fresh. Would recommend it to others!

Works well

This product was very easy to find. I walked into the first Canadian Tire I could find and found it on the shelf. It was the last one there, so luckily I got there on time!

I find the product kind of expensive: it was like $16 for a very small container. So you will need to eat a lot of fruit to make this worth it.

But does it work? I am always sceptical of produce savers because a lot of the time, they do not work. But this one worked surprisingly well! I put some blueberries in and they looked the exact same a week (or more) later. And tasted good too! Not sure if I would buy it if I didn't get it free just because of the high price. But I am glad I have them now.

A good solution for produce

Thanks to Chickadvisor for choosing me to review this product!

I did have a bit of a hard time finding the containers. They weren't at 2 grocery stores I went to but I did find them at Canadian Tire.

I tried salad mix in the container first. It did seem to stay quite fresh and after 4 days there weren't any slimy pieces! I also tried farmers market strawberries and they also seemed to stay fresh longer than they do in the packaging they come in. To be absolutely sure that they stay fresher I'd like to compare the same produce in a FreshWorks container and in another container or bag.

I will continue to use this one!

Thank you again!

Saved my strawberries

I got a medium Rubbermaid Freshwords Produce Saver container free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for an honest review. I had some initial difficulties finding this product at my usual grocery store even though they sold other Rubbermaid brand food storage products. I was eventually able to locate this item at Canadian Tire. As for the container itself, I tested it out with some fresh strawberries which are notorious for going squishy and/or moldy if they aren't store in the perfect conditions. After moving the strawberries from their store packaging to the freshworks container and tossing them in the fridge, I've been snacking on them for three days without issues. This container seems to work well for produce that is easily effected by moisture levels. I do think this item is a bit pricey, but it will likely pay for itself in the long run.

Hard to tell if this works

I was so excited to try the Rubbermaid Freshworks Produce Saver. I loved the idea of a product that can help my produce last longer, but I can't tell if the freshworks line does what it's supposed to do. I tested some strawberries to start, but they did go soft in some spots...perhaps it would have been worse had I not used the produce saver? Let's see what happens with some cherries next

FreshWorks Produce Saver

The size of this container was perfect for 1 lb of strawberries. They were kept firm and fresh, although they were eaten in a few days.
I like the look of the containers and will get the other sizes and it made my fridge look neat and organize. I eat a lot of salad and the larger container is perfect for that.

It totally works!

I put strawberries, lettuce and cucumbers into these containers and it kept all of these organic pieces of fruits and veggies fresh for several days! The cucumber didn't have any dry surfaces like it usually does if I cut a piece and put it back into the fridge in a sealed container. The technology it uses to keep food fresh truly works! I only wish it were a bit wider.
