Vegetables staying fresher for at least a week
Vegetables which are prone to early spoiling are fresh for significantly longer. For example, those small bunches of shallots from the supermarkets usually don't last long. Fridge Friend adds a good week to initial "freshness". The Fridge Friend clearly does absorb the "ripening" gas, ethylene. We have yet to try in our 40 l camping fridge (which is why we bought them), but expect great results based on performance in a normal household fridge. Yes, recommended.

Hi Sam,
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 – As you only purchased one unit, it may not be sufficient to manage the ethylene, bacteria, and excess moisture present in your 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, occasionally we encounter a unit that simply doesn’t perform as it should.
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
Great product
Being sceptical from purchases not living up to the ‘glossy’ advertising I wasn’t sure about fridge friend though the science behind the concept seemed solid… after using it now for 1 month I’m sold , definitely keeps fruit and veggies fresher longer than before I used the product and there’s a clean odour rather than a melding of food odours. Payment options are great too. Will be purchasing another one soon.

Fridge Friends continue to impress me how they extend the life of fruit and vegetables - a recent watermelon lasted perfectly for nearly 2 weeks until eaten

I am so happy with Fridge Friend
I am so happy with Fridge Friend . After almost two months of use. I purchased one for each crisper drawer and have had no limp, wilted or blackened vegetables. They really do help your vegetables last longer and the fridge smells fresher. Highly recommend.

It worked
It worked so I bought some for my children and also for my sister. I normally buy just 1 cucumber and sometimes that 1 cucumber goes soft in the crisper. Now I can buy 2 cucumbers without it going soft. I grow strawberries and generally it goes mouldy before I can eat all the strawberries. Now the strawberries don’t go mouldy but the fridge friend dries it out but I get to eat them all.

It works, but you need enough units in a larger fridge
At first I didn't think it was working as I placed 3 in my fridge. Everything was cleaned out including putting only new produce.
However I didn't feel that it made very much difference to the freshness of my produce until I added 1 more Fridge Friend.
Voila! My lettuce was able to last for a week without rotting. It was a nice change to able to enjoy fresher lettuce and fruits before my weekly grocery run.

Reliable product with excellent service.
I had been happily using Fridge Friend for approx. 22 months, when I felt it was not working quite as well as it had been, and ordered 2 refills. I then realised that the product is guaranteed for 3 years.
I contacted Jomathan, and was promptly promised a refund (I had already ordered, and paid for the refills). The refunded amount appeared in my account the following day. Excellent, prompt service.

We live remote and our fruit and veggies are trucked in , and often begin to go yucky after a couple of days. Fridge Friend works so well, our fruit and veggies are lasting so much longer!

Real Deal
I was not sure of the actual effectiveness my new of Fridge Friends would be. Now, no smells in my fridge. Money savings as not trying to use up all my fruit and vegetables in 3 days and needing to go back to the shops for supplies and then spending money on additional items I really didn't need. Even better I get a Fridge Friend reminder each month to reset the units.

SUPER IMPRESSED!
SUPER IMPRESSED!
We are a family of 6 - I ordered 3 Fridge Friends.
They arrived a day before we left on a holiday to Bali for 10 days.
I decided to put them to the test right away - activated them and popped them into the fridge...and didn't bother to clean the fridge out prior to our trip like I usually do.
After 10 days away ALL of our produce was still fresh!! I was completely shocked and very impressed. Recommending to all of my friends now!
