I eat a lot of fresh, organic berries. Let's face it, if you're shelling out the bucks, you want those things to last longer than a day or two. Plus, I am a little pathological about mushy berries (yuck), so this seemed like a no-brainer.

If you mainly eat berries that come in small portions- blueberries, raspberries, etc: this will fit your needs nicely. There's a small lift-out insert if you want to keep things separated- nice touch. If you're looking to store strawberries, I doubt this would hold the contents of a standard green plastic "strawberry basket"- especially if you have some enormous berries in there. If you want strawberry storage, you'd be much happier with the larger Progressive Produce Keepers, which are roomier and probably multi-task a lot more than this does (at a similar price). Still it's cute, and it works! FYI- Whole berries last a lot longer in here than sliced- I have had strawberries in here for a week that still look perfect, but if they're sliced, you only have a day or so.

I had prefiously bought the big version: the Lettuce Save version, and am completely satisfied with that. Upon seeing this item I got very excited and began reading the reviews....all said it was small. I decided to buy anyways because I checked out the dimensions and figured it was "good enough". Well, it is, and I'm not completely dissappointed; however, it is smaller that I imagined, even with really checking out the dimensions. Forget putting strawberries in it for sure, and only a handful or two of grapes can fit. It's great for blueberries and okay for rasperries/blackberries. The little shelf that makes this a double decker unit is really nice. I did buy a 2nd for my boyfriend, but warned him that it's pretty much a "blueberry holder"

This is totally useless. I should have checked the dimensions before ordering. The picture makes it look large. It would be useful as a lunchbox insert not for storing any quantity of berries. I'm returning this item.
