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.

Absolutely worth it
I finally got around to buying a Fridage Friend (2 actually), and it is great! It really helps the leafy greens stay fresh for at least a week or two after purchase - they used to droop and fade within days. That alone is the selling point for me. If you are on the fence, Fridge Friend is defs worth the investment.

Hi Gareth,
Can you please email hello@fridgefriend.com.au with your contact details, and I will look into this issue personally.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

I was a little skeptical as to whether fridge friend could make a noticeable difference, happy to say it does!, i have done everything they say to do, liners, baskets and wrapping some veges etc, the difference now to prior purchasing is dramatic. It is quite expensive as you need 2-3 ff for it to work properly but well worth the investment, they will pay for themselves in produce savings in no time. Great customer service, communications and shipping. Thanks FF.

Wonderful product that works!!
So far so good. I purchased enough sets so as to have them in my home fridge as well as our caravan fridge. I truly believe the white basket system is a huge help as well. I have changed my whole fruit & veg/fridge storage system. My fruit & veg are lasting longer. It’s true what the company states…. Less waste/throwing out of food. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is strawberries & avocados are definitely lasting longer. I remove all plastic packaging from my produce (something I’ve never done b4), and they each have their own basket! I’m so glad I gave you guys a go especially with the cost of everyday living now. THANKU, great product.
