Hi Maritsa,
As a small, Aussie-owned, family business, we take all feedback seriously.
I’m really sorry to hear it’s not working as expected—let’s see if we can turn that around quickly for you.
We want every customer to be 100% happy, and that can mean troubleshooting together, sending a replacement, or issuing a refund—whatever works best for you.
From experience, here are a few common reasons why results might vary:
1. Activation & care – It’s easy to miss a step during setup or maintenance. Here's a link to our latest Freshness Blueprint which is full of tips on how to get the best performance from your Fridge Friends: https://www.fridgefriend.com/pages/setup-guide
2. Placement matters – Fridge Friend works best near your fresh produce. If it’s tucked away on the top shelf or door, it may not be as effective.
3. Fridge airflow – Good circulation and smart storage can make a big difference. A crowded fridge may limit performance.
4. Timing – The minerals inside can take a few days to fully activate and create noticeable changes—especially in larger fridges.
5. Insufficient number of Fridge Friends for the size of your family and/or fridge.
It’s also worth noting that factors such as the freshness of your food to begin with, how often the fridge is opened, and local climate conditions can all play a role.
Here’s an article with lots of additional tips on how to get the most from your Fridge Friends: https://www.fridgefriend.com/blogs/news/how-to-store-fresh-produce
That said, we occasionally encounter a unit that simply doesn’t perform as expected. If that’s what’s happening here, we’ll replace it at no cost—or find a solution that works for you.
Cheers

Unbelievable product
Unbelievable product. I don’t live around the corner from a produce store so I tended to buy a fair bit to cut my travel down which resulted in a fair bit of wastage due to the veges simply not lasting the distance. Since I purchased my fridge friends and installed them in the fridge, the difference they’re making to the freshness of my produce is unbelievable. My produce is lasting way longer than it would have lasted before I bought these things. I'm only sorry I never knew about them many years ago.

Love My Fridge Friend
Had my fridge friend for four months now.
Still feel they definitely are keeping my produce fresher for longer.
I make sure I do the monthly reset by putting them in the microwave for about 18 seconds each.
Letting them cool, then popping them back into the fridge/crisper.

Amazing
Okay, I saw the adds on Facebook and did my due diligence and thought why not.
So I am now a convert and a believer. I love to stir fry Asian greens but the bloody things never last long in the fridge. Bin night comes along and as I always do is clear the fridge of old food and I found a bunch of Bok Choy 2 weeks old and were actually just on the cusp. That's insane as I would be lucky to get 4 days. So 2 weeks later I used them in a stir fry.
100% Legit.

Fantastic Fridge Friend ...
I had one Fridge Friend in my fridge for the last few months and it was good, it did help keep everything stay a bit fresher, but recently I bought another one as they suggest with 2 people in the house. It has made a big difference in keeping vegetables and fruit so much fresher for longer.
Thanks Fridge Friend for saving us money!

I was skeptical. It was expensive. But they work SO well - totally as described - it was well worth it for the money saved on not throwing food out. Highly recommend!

Get a week’s extra freshness out of your veggies - just put them in an airtight box with a Fridge Friend
I was sceptical about this product, which I bought maybe two weeks ago, until I compared two organic corns cobs, which were purchased fresh directly from the farmers a week ago. My parents left the corn cob (on the left) in the crisper section of their fridge. I had put mine (on the right) in a large box with a Fridge Friend. The difference after a week is clear!
Mind you, I’ve noticed that Fridge Friend works better in a large box than a crisper, since a box is airtight and it can absorb all the gas. I wish they’d make smaller sizes for boxes rather than crispers.
