I never thought I’d be raving about a plastic container but here I am. I originally bought them to store vegetables but I’ve also started to pack my lunch in them. They work so well. Basically, there’s a floating bottom that prevents the food from sitting in moisture, which keeps it from going bad. There are also vents at the top.
1.) There are multiple sizes available. I recommend getting the 11.1 cup if you plan on storing things like lettuce, fruits, etc.
a. The 17-cup size is great if you want to use it for groceries. I take it with me to the store and it’s a whole lot better than using plastic baggies. It’s never to late to adopt a greener lifestyle and I highly recommend it - not to sound preachy but whenever there’s a simple “greener” alternative product I’m usually willing to try it. That’s how I found out about silicone sandwich bags and Swedish dishcloths (both of which I’d definitely recommend checking out).
2.) The container really isn’t that expensive. If I remember correctly…mine costed around $8, which isn’t all that different compared to others that you can get in stores and they don’t keep your food fresh like these ones.
3.) I’ve completely stopped using plastic bags for my groceries. I pack them in these containers instead and they almost always last longer than their “best by” dates. Less food waste = good.
4.) The lid isn’t flat like a regular plastic container so you can actually fit more inside without having to worry about squishing anything.
a. Keep in mind however that you won’t be able to fit larger size items such as apples and melons unless you cut them, which I wouldn’t recommend. Avoid overfilling it as that can affect the airflow.
5.) They stack well. I have six of them and when they’re not in use, I have them stacked up in the kitchen cupboard. A great way to keep them nice and organized.
6.) You can label the containers with a dry-erase marker, which is what I do. It washes off easily every time with just a bit of soap and water.
7.) Remember you don’t have to wash the food before you put them in the container. The whole point is to prevent moisture from building up which speeds up spoilage. Only wash whatever’s inside when you’re about to eat them!
8.) They’re easy to clean, rinse them with soapy water like you would do with any other plastic container. Don’t forget to rinse out the perforated tray at the bottom as well.
a. Speaking of the tray you never want to take it out if you’re using the container. It’s an essential part that prevents the item from sitting in settled condensation aka it prevents it from going bad.
b. You won’t be able to buy a tray replacement without having to buy a completely new container so make sure that you don’t break or lose it.
9.) The plastic is very sturdy, I’ve dropped it accidentally on the ground but it still looks like new. Contents are also protected.
a. It’s also very clear and easy to see through so you can check on your produce easily without having to actually open the container.
I hope this review has helped you. Definitely get it if you want to increase the longevity of your produce! You’ll thank me later.

Surprisingly Works Well!...Such a Money Saver!
PROS:• Increases longevity of most food produce past "Best By" dates, unlike plastic storage bags, which decreases longevity significantly• Less plastic bags usage supports a cleaner and safer environment• Saves gas and frequent trips to the grocery store by allowing more produce to be purchased and stored in one trip without the worrisome of throwing decaying food away after a couple of days• Less bad food thrown away equals more money savings• Green perforated tray keeps produce away from liquid, which maximizes longevity while minimizes decay• Vent holes on the lid regulates airflow, minimizing developed moisture (breeding ground for bacteria) inside• Stacks well on top of each other to occupy less space in the refrigerator for other essentials• No filter changes like some other storage containers• Lid is not flat, but raised to allow more produce to fit, although not recommended• Encourages a more healthier lifestyle by eating fruits and vegetables that would otherwise spoil within a couple of days• Easy to wash and cleanCONS:• Not sealed-proof, condensation and moister does occasionally develop on the inside top of the lid, causing it to drip down onto the produce• All the 2.5 cups ordered came with a sticky residue (as seen in the last picture) that was difficult to rub off• Works well for some produce, but other foods spoiled within a couple of daysTIPS:• Follow the container's instructions and never wash the produce before storage• If any moisture in original packaging, dry them with paper towels before storage• Put produce in storage immediately after bringing home from grocery store for best longevity• Not recommended to overflow, i.e. over the top of the container, to allow better airflow• When buying produce, always pick the freshest and newest to ensure they last the longestTEST 1 (Asparagus)• Asparagus lasted for 13 days, almost 2 full weeks, without any wetness or turning dark green from the tips• The tips are the most desirable places, and usually the first to go bad, but did not• Could have lasted much longer, but it was time to eat themTEST 2 (Romaine Lettuce)• Lasted 10 days from initial storage without any mold or dead leaves, contrary to plastic bags which caused the leaves to become much softer and moldy within a week• Some leaves were not as crisp as initially opened and eaten, becoming soft and limp• Minimal discolorationTEST 3 (Cucumbers)• Lasted only a few days• Spoiled on the 4th day, with mold and moisture development• Wasted money and threw away spoiled produce• A big disappointment in this test that would have otherwise expected to be betterTEST 4 (Raspberries)• Lasted 6 days• No moldy, bruising, or slimy spots, although not as firm as on the first day• Shelf life was longer than in original plastic containers
