This product really works
I put off buying Fridge Friend because its quite expensive, however I thought that if it stops me throwing away strawberries and raspberries before we've had a chance to eat them, then its worth a try because throwing out food is also expensive! I've got to say I was so surprised at how effective it is in extending the life of fruits and veggies. No more funky mold in the fridge!

It really does work. Keeps vegies fresh for weeks longer than usual. Well worth getting. I have purchased extras for our caravan and my daughter's home. Even my sceptical husband sings your praises.

Your friend in your fridge to keep your produce fresh
Fridge friend is a fantastic product and so simple to use and recharge to keep it working to have fresh produce . Costs are rising all the time so to be able to keep your fruit and vegetables fresh it is a great investment

The units are keeping the fresh food in my fridge vege drawers nice although I have to remember to shake them each week.
They were expensive, but they work and I expect I won’t be feeding the worms so often.
Haven’t figured out how to use the free fridge mats effectively.

Regarding the Fridge Liners (mats), simply place the smooth side down on your fridge shelves or drawers.

Love my Fridge Friends
I have been using 2 Fridge Friends in my fridge crisper for about a year now and I can tell you they work! No more furry strawberries and blueberries, crisp, celery and lettuce and all fruit and veggies last so much longer since I have had these in my fridge. So impressed I have bought some as gifts and recommended them to all the family and they are also so pleased and saving money by using all their fruit and veg instead of throwing it out! Refresh once a month and hello.. still working fine! Australian company and great service! Buy on-line and delivered quickly! Mad not to have them in your life!

Great Product - Highly Recommend
Easy to purchase. It came in the mail quite quickly (Rural Tasmania). It has worked a treat. I make my own sauerkraut and put it in the fridge once it is ready to consume. I have always use good quality glass containers with lids that have a tight seal. However, no matter what containers I use, the smell gets into the fridge. Now that I have a Fridge Friend in the fridge...........guess what........NO ODOURS. Very happy and would highly recommend.

I have 1 in crisper and one I fridge
I have 1 in crisper and one in fridge part. I only have a small fridge freezer for 2 ppl.
I find I still have to put every veg in separate bags in crisper or they go soft. So no change. All I've noticed is fridge don't smell no more.

Hi Dianne,
Thanks for the 4-star review and feedback. We recommend placing your produce in open containers or bags with holes in them to allow Fridge Friend to work properly.

Product works well - I've now purchased multiple sets for friends as gifts
Updated 23/3/26 Initially I had a small issue where the Freshness insert appears to have melted in the microwave, although I followed instructions provided. Thanks to Jonathan the Freshness Insert was promptly replaced. Can't fault great customer service, so revised my rating to 5 stars. I've since purchased a few more for a friend as they're that good. Purchase with confidence from a company that stands by its product. Thank you 😊

Hi Mich,
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it.
Just to clarify, we provide different instructions for the setup (Heat for 15 seconds as the unit is at room temperature) and the monthly reset (20 seconds as the unit is coming from the fridge, typically at 4 °C)
All the care details are provided in the monthly reset email reminder, the Fresness Blueprint sent with every delivery, and here on our website: https://www.fridgefriend.com/pages/setup-guide
If a Fridge Friend is damaged by following the detailed instructions, you are entitled to a free replacement. Every Fridge Friend comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee and a 3-year replacement warranty.
Please email hello@fridgefriend.com.au to enquire about a free Freshness Insert replacement.
Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder
Product that does the job
Product did exactly what it is meant to do and keep my fridge smelling clean and all my fresh produce lasting longer than before and great that they send an email every month to reset the product

Not as fresh as some
It doesn't keep veggies as fresh as it suggested, my fresh carrots limp in a week. Compared to three weeks still crisp in a particular container designed for veggies.

Hi Sonia,
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.
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 Jonathan Co-Founder
