OXO Good Grips GreenSaver Herb Keeper- 2.8 QT

I purchased two of these; both the large one and the smaller one. I use and highly recommend them. I had wilting parsley and cilantro in my refrigerator when the herb keepers arrived. I added water to the keepers up to the fill lines on each one, placed the parsley in one and cilantro in the other one making certain there were no leaves in the water. I put them both in the refrigerator. Within a short time I checked their condition. I was absolutely amazed. Both the cilantro and parsley look as fresh as the day I bought them. As of this writing, it’s been well over a month. I’ve used nearly all the parsley but what’s left is still very fresh. The cilantro is the same way. Additionally, I had a few green onions left over from another recipe so I added those to the larger keeper with the cilantro. It’s been a couple weeks and I’m pleased to report the onions are equally fresh. Most reviews I read before I made the purchase said it was necessary to change the water at least every couple days. I’ve found once a week to be more than adequate. I believe the key is to be certain there are no leaves below the waterline. As other reviewers commented, they do take up quite a lot of space in the refrigerator. If you have a small apartment size refrigerator that you keep well stocked, you may want to consider only the smaller of the two sizes. Fortunately, I have a large capacity fridge. I put the small keeper in the door and the large one where I keep larger containers. Now I’ll address the economic factor versus convenience. At a cost of only $.50 a bunch for common everyday herbs like parsley and cilantro, it will take me a long time to recover the investment of the herb keepers. For me, it’s about convenience. I’m a once a month or less grocery shopper. I like to buy in bulk because I hate going shopping. I also like to cook and I enjoy the convenience of having fresh herbs available without having to make a dash to the market. For me, it was definitely worth the investment.

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to for this. I have a bunny that really loves cilantro and parsley but I hate how fast they go bad. I was buying fresh parsley and cilantro every week and half of it would go bad before I used it. So I bought two of these in hopes I could stop wasting so much money and her cilantro and parsley now last up to 3 weeks! All I have to do is change the water every few days and pick out the wilted leaves and they last forever! I’m very satisfied with these!

I was skeptical at first, but sick and tired of herbs going bad before I could use them all. I followed instructions and I put parsley and mint in there. It has been almost 2 weeks now and they are still just as fresh as when I bought them. The only downside is that I can't put them in my vegetable drawer so they take up space in the open part. It is total worth it though, to have fresh herbs.

Sturdy, pretty good design and dishwasher safe. Love for parsley. Lasts weeks. Cilantro is more delicate and I need to toss out some every few days when I replace the water. (Use filtered water, and usually buy organic herbs).Removed one star for design flaw (in my opinion). Cilantro is too flimsy to stand unaided. I use a paper cup with the bottom cut out, and a plastic twist tie to keep the stems together, then place in the cup to prevent it bending back into the water, works OK but a couple of vertical supports on the bottom would be much preferable.

Got this for my cilantro as I'm a huge cilantro fan! I used to put in a mason jar w/a little water rand cover w/plastic bag. This is so much better and easier! I don't have to change water as often and so far my herbs have lasted at least a week or two longer! The only thing I don't like is that its larger over all than I expected but would still buy again!

Had to rethink my herb and produce storage when the grocery store started using those green biodegradable bags for produce. All my produce was rotting at an alarming speed if I kept them in those bags. I tried mesh bags - like the ones they now sell in the grocery store - but everything still wilted or dried out. These containers seemed like a good choice so I gave them a try. Some are meant for dry storage (like for carrots, broccoli, peppers) and some for more humid storage (herbs, cilantro, parsley). They are bulky (and expensive) but seem to do the trick. I’m happy with the results but my apartment fridge is pretty full (I got several different sizes of containers to accommodate everything).

The product is well made & functional except the lid does not fasten, just sits on top of the container. This will keep content’s fresh but can tip over & spill easily.

Works great! Keeps them fresh.
