Can you keep this on the counter in your fruit bowl, will it work well there too, or only in enclosed areas like the fridge?

I believe this only works within enclosed areas. Directions state that even banana's should be kept in a bag with the absorber although I haven't tried it within a fruit bowl personally.

No do not put it in Freezer compartment. The batteries may Die .I use it in normal refrigerator compartment and it works excellent!

Best to store in sealed, air tight container and kept in a dark cool place. I use a Kerr jar and I keep it in my bottom cupboard.

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.

I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet . Lasts me a couple months. Haven't had trouble with it going bad. May not be a bad idea though to keep it in the fridge, especially if its not used quickly. Cooking oils can go bad if left out for too long .

It keeps the food cold when kept in a lunch bag or desk drawer for awhile. It won't keep things really cold if it's in the sun or in warm temperatures like an un- air conditioned location. The food does need to touch it to stay cold. I use these primarily for fruit or salad mix. I'm not sure if I would trust it for a long period of time (say from the time you pack it for work and then till lunch at noon) for things that go bad easily such as mayo. Just my opinion. I hope it helps.

Yes, it will still work. In fact, I use them in open air fruit bowls, and they will still work there although not as well.

I purchased only a small container. I keep mine on a drawer in the bathroom, and so far, it is fine, i.e. is still doing what is supposed to do. Wouldn't know about storing it in the fridge... Did you contact the company? They would be the ones to provide you with the correct instructions. Good luck!

I usually use it up before the expiration date but as long as you keep the container covered so the contents do not get wet your Fruit Fresh should be good to use. With proper storage, you should be able to use it for a year or so after opening. I tend to agree about indefinite storage. The big thing is keep it dry and store in a dark cupboard.

No, it is safe, but your produce will last longer if it is dry. I spin my produce in a salad spinner to remove the water, then put it in a zip lock bag with a paper towel at the bottom. When you close it, squeeze out the air which will also help preserve it. I let fruit and other stuff air dry. Ozonated water in this device is only stable ofr about 15 minutes.

I believe it does just because it's absorbing the gas in the whole drawer. If you keep any produce in a drawer, the enclosed area's environment is different from the rest of the refrigerator.

I haven't kept it the fridge. I hope it works for you as well as it has my husband.

If you plan to use it, I store ours on the counter top in an area out of the way.If you're talking long term storage without use, I would really clean it and then place in a cabinet out of the way.

I'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes. It works best if you put it into another bowl first and then put that bowl in the fridge over night. Works great.

I do not have a problem with fruit flies because I keep the bucket in the fridge. I line the container with those compostable bags. I take the container out of the fridge when I want to add stuff. There's no smell or mess. I just lift out the full bag and take it outside to the compost bin. I am not sure why others keep their bin outside of the fridge -- it's just inviting fruit flies and odor. I just have a dedicated space inside my fridge for the container. It's pretty easy.
