I haven't had the product long enough
I have had the product active in my fridge for approximately 1 week, so I can't make a review as of yet. My advice to you as a company would be to delay asking for reviews for a few weeks at least. I've had 2 emails requesting a review but have not had the product long enough to accurately give one

I was throwing out fruit and vegetables…
I was throwing out fruit and vegetables just after a couple days, especially strawberries, as they just never lasted. Since I have fridge friend, they are looking so much better. So glad I found this. Thank you.

My fridge friend is a helping hand
Well, after a few weeks of using my fridge friend I have seen an improvement in that the veggies are remaining fresher longer. I have been through one cycle of rejuvenating the fridge friend. An easy task once a month.

very satisfied with Fridge Friend
when i first purchased Fridge Friend i was a bit sceptical if it would work.
I installed 2 weeks ago vegtables i purchased at same time in installed Fridge Friend are still as fresh as the day i brought them.
Carrots usually go fremsy and start turning black after a few days but are still fresh.

A simple system that works!
A simple system, but it’s working well. We have an overstocked fridge and frequently have old vegetables thrown out. I’m noticing particularly that things like broccoli don’t seem to wilt and tomatoes don’t go bad. I have the double pack (one main shelf and one in crisper) and have just received my first monthly reminder to ‘recharge’ them, which only takes a minute. Haven’t been bombarded by emails either. Altogether very happy and will recommend!

Great product which I never knew existed
Great product which I never thought existed. In the short time of using have noticed fruit and veggies stay fresher quite a bit longer, and the smell from my veggie ferment has gone. Arrived quickly and easy to deal with. Thank you.

I have purchased four fridge friends
I have purchased four fridge friends, two for myself and one each for my daughter and adult granddaughter.
I purchased my two first and was so delighted with how they kept my fresh produce, plus the benefit of completely eliminating the need to throw anything away due to spoilage, that I purchased the other two. I’m happy to say my daughter and granddaughter are also very happy with the product.

Tested this out with celery
Tested this out with celery, one of the toughest veggies to keep fresh. 1 month later, it still had crunch. All of my veg lasting much longer and actually getting eaten.

Not making any difference
Can not see that these have made any difference to the longevity of my perishables, have been using for 4 - 6 weeks. Items perish in the same timeframe as previously.

Hi Kathy,
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.
Every Fridge Friend comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee and a 3-year replacement warranty.
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.
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-for-maximum-results-with-fridge-friend
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
Fabulous, I'm saving money every week.
I've had my fridge friends for over a year. I can't begin to tell you how much money they've saved me on fruit and veges. I often get at least a fortnight of freshness with green salad leaves and more with other fruit and vege.
They're fabulous and I love my monthly email to remind me to refresh them.
They have my high recommendation.

Delivery time was accurate. Set up instructions clear and easy, noticing less spoilage in fruit and veg already.

I’ve recently received my second Fridge Friend and am very happy with it. I now have one in the fruit and veg department and one on the wall of main fridge area. Everything is lasting longer, so no waste. I’m very happy - thank you Fridge Friend!
