Love It
Love it! Great product! Very effective, does exactly what it’s designed to do. Well worth the price, especially against the savings in not having to throw away fruit and vegetables.

Hi Gareth,
Can you please email hello@fridgefriend.com.au with your contact details, and I will look into this issue personally.
We have delivered to a Gareth Smith in Byron Bay on the 17th March, it was "Left in a safe place" by Australia Post.
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.

I waited for a sale as the nz dollar isn’t as good as the Aussie. Seems to be working as described. I’m impressed with the clear instructions and the way the company emails before it arrives and then has a frig magnet to tell you how to prepare product before use. Couldn’t attach to the frig walls as my frig has grooves in the walls to slot in trays. But they just sit in there ok.

A product that does what it says
I've been using Fridge Friend for two years. In that time, I've hardly lost any fruit or veg due to it going moldy. Before, my fridge was a mess.
These things should come with any fridge purchase

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
Jonathan

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.
