I like them much better than Tupperware , just don't put it in the dishwasher because the lid warps. Otherwise I love mine, I have all the sizes!

I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages. What I like about Progressive is the ability to open or close the vent, and add or restrict water according to a chart they give you telling the appropriate environment for each veggie or fruit. However, I love Tupperware probably just because I am familiar with it over the years and know its advantages and limitations. I like the pliable material used as opposed to the hard material used by Progressive. However, I like being able to see through the Progressive container. On balance, I choose Progressive now. Seems like Tupperware is more expensive too. I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages.

The Tupperware doesn't keep food as fresh as long and it is way more money. I would definitely recommend progressive over Tupperware. I just bought another big one. I LOVE these!!

Im sorry. I am not familiar with that type of tupperware. I really like this keeper for my romaine hearts.

I first bought the Tupperware fridgesmart and I liked it until I bought prepworks from Progressive. It keeps your produce much longer and it is cheaper.
1963688
I do not! But I can tell you I LOVE this thing! Its amazing how well it keeps my veggies and is saving me money from not having to throw food out! Its perhaps one of my favorite food storage containers ever! In fact you remind me, I really should get another one!

Don't know. Hard plastic though. I'd be fine with just a plain tupperware plastic, durabler container unless your planning on keeping contents inside long.

Sorry. I am not familiar with the fridgesmart products. However, assuming that it is similar to other Tupperware products, this prepworks is a little cheaper in manufacture. However, it works very well at preserving leafy vegetables. That is all I have used it for.

Yes! And they don't get brittle like my plastic Tupperware and crack or break.

Not sure which would be best for the fridge, but recommend you buy the multi pack. Buying them individually would cost a lot more. I pay a cleaning lady to come in bi weekly, and she asked me to buy these. She loves the cloths and uses several different ones. They work well.

Here are the ones I bought.. Sterilite 18351006 30 Gallon Tote Box, Blue (6 pack) they were about $103 for 6 but very sturdy, fits in slot like a glove. Expensive I kno but I really did look everywhere. I just bought set of 6 once a month along with the clear ones I showed u. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STORAGE SOLUTION! I dont kno if u have purchased the shelves yet but u will nd 2 people to put together. Thats how tuff they r! Hope this helped. Good luck!

I've had no problem with Zip Lock bags. I've found it useful to seal either brand while on a semi cushioned surface and rub your finger over the seal twice, once in one direction then from the other. The ONLY advantage or feature I see in the Food Saver brand I like is the square bottom of the gallon size. That to me is not worth double the price of Zip Lock.

I can tell you from experience that if you want longevity, spend the extra for Rubbermaid. sterlite containers are good for the short term, but you will notice the plastic doesn't hold up and suddenly you will pull it out in a few years and notice it is cracked.

Dear Grandma to be, It is very similar to Tupperware in style and function. I guess the biggest difference is that the plastic itself is a bit thinner than what I remember Tupperware to be. Perhaps that's why the price was so low. It is still sturdy enough and works just fine. My lettuce has stayed fresh and crisp using this keeper. Hope this helps.

I didn't get instructions either-- I don't believe that Tupperware included them. I searched and found instructions on the internet. The item does actually work well when instructions are followed.

Since I have not used the "Tupperware" product, I cannot really compare. However, this lettuce keeper works well. The lettuce is kept very fresh. I even had one party tell me she purchased it to hold cookie dough until ready for baking.

They fit perfectly! The container sucks though - Better to get the bags and use a close able Tupperware container!

These are really good with lettuce, I mainly use spinach and it lasts over a week but if you line a paper towel (on top of the green tray inside) in with the produce, it lasts even longer. Another option is the Brawny Produce Protectors, they're a pain to clean but take up less space and work just as well as the tupperware does.

Yes, I actually have done this with the original foodsaver, and with these. I prefer these over foodsaver, actually. I waited to see if they hold up as well, and they do.

No, they are not Tupperware. Not sure what you are asking in terms of hard material as such, but they are not flexible. They are extremely easy to use, the lids snap on easy, the little vent on the top moves easy. I love them!

Yup! Definitely. These are great. I personally use one or two to bring to work and one at home for my son's food. I think it's a bit large for a toddler or preschooler really as the compartments are deep, but it's easy to store leftovers since you can just cover and pop it back in the fridge. It's perfect for a salad or bunch of fruit in the large compartment, a very good size portion of cottage cheese in the second largest cup (full cup at least probably but I have never actually measured) and then some salad dressing in the smallest cup (which only uses about 1/6 of the space). A sandwich would fit perfectly I think. Yup! Definitely. These are great. I personally use one or two to bring to work and one at home for my son's food.

both are probably decent, generic versions may be made with cheaper metals. Klean kanteen tends to be thicker and higher quality for long term use. The ones given out might be just as nice though.

I use the Ziploc Brand that I purchased at Target. I buy the rolls so I have less waste as I am usually sealing for a single serving meal. I found the Ziploc brand was $1.00 less per roll for the same amount at the Food Saver Brand & the Ziploc have the white block for writing on them which shows up much better than just writing on the clear plastic

Amazon has sets of the jars. I chose to buy gerber or beech-nut baby food brand in the larger glass jars. I got them on sale for 68 cents each, gave the baby food to the Yorkie mixed with her kibble and use the emplty jars for the yogurst makint. They hold the same amount of yogurt and I heat them in the T-fal without concern for the heat on the glass.
