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

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

Fantastic product & really works. Prior to purchase my fruit & veg was going off in 2-3 days. Now with Fridge Friend it lasts for weeks with no issue. Great for my cold press juices in the morning ⭐️

I am very happy with my Fridge Friend's. Have had them for a few years and they still do the job! My vegetables certainly last much longer . I also love my monthly emails , reminding me that it is time to reset my Fridge Friends.

Great product
We have had the fridge friend for a couple of weeks. The contents in the crisper are definitely staying fresher for longer. Can recommend this product. We will also take the fridge friend in our caravan when we go on extended trips.
