Whirlpool W11462816 Genuine OEM Produce Preserver Starter Kit

I got this to use in my fruit drawer because my organic fruit was molding so quickly. I’m not sure if this makes the fruit last longer? The fruit still molds fairly quickly. For the price, I would say it’s worth a shot for you to try and see for your self.

This produce life extender is incredibly easy to use! I did initially have a difficult time getting the suction cups to stick to the wall of my refrigerator, but once I added a little water to the cups and pressed firmly they stayed put. I have noticed my produce is lasting longer now (no I didn’t document the # of days), but that stuff is is expensive so this thing is worth every penny!

This produce preserver is easy to assemble and install. It is branded as Whirlpool or KitchenAid, but there is nothing brand specific about its installation. When I saw that there were “2 replacement filters” included, I didn’t expect to use both on the first installation, but those were the directions, so expect to buy replacements for the seventh month. After installing the preserver in my produce drawer with the included suction cups, I placed some unbagged cucumbers in the drawer (including one with a cut end protected by a silicone cover) and they didn’t show any signs of decline over several days of storage, including some for 10 days. I’ve had similar results with a charcoal preserver, so I feel that the holder can be used with multiple brands and/or styles of filters depending on availability and price. It’s easy, it works, and the quality and price are what you would expect from a brand name.

We always seem to have to throw out Fruit because we don’t eat it all before it starts to mold. The fruit goes bad because it gives off ethylene which ripens it beyond edible quality.

This Whirlpool produce preserver is a very small but mighty product that you can add to your fridge. The starter kit comes with a plastic housing for two filters (also included) and a status indicator that tells you when it’s time to replace the filers.

This product is super easy to assemble. Just open the housing, remove the filters from their individual bags and slide them into the housing. Then press down on the indicator to activate it and slide it into the housing too. Finally, close up the unit and use the attached suction cups to attach to the inside of your fridge. There are instructions with pictures, but it’s very simple.

You can readily buy replacement filters.

I like estate this has a small form factor so it doesn’t take up much room, and that it will work in any brand of fridge.

Before I got this, I didn’t realize that there were some fruit like grapes and bananas that give off ethylene and other produce that is sensitive to the ethylene. There’s a full chart on the listing,

I haven’t had great luck with hanging this in the fridge, but have better luck just placing it inside my produce drawer. It does seem to extend the life of our produce.

This seems to be a good value, even though the filters will need to be replaced at a biyearly cost. To me that is easily more than the price of produce we have been throwing away.
