A close friend of mine put me onto these I use them in my fridge at home and my fridge in the caravan. The veges and fruit keep a very long time. I should have been using these before as I found back then things did not last very long.

Gave it a shot on chance, and glad I did!
I thought I'd give this a shot, and I'm glad I did! It genuinly works really well. I threw one in my fruit/veg tray at the bottom of my fridge and immediately I noticed the difference. My strawberries last 1-2 weeks, compared to just 1-2 days previously. Mind blown.
Bananas, they age slower but they still fully brown - interestinly though, the inside of the banana is super fresh though, not bruised or soft. So although the banana goes brown, it's perfectly edible. This was not the case before Fridge Friend.
So yes, if you're umming and ahhing about getting this, I would. The fact that it's reusable as well, with just a quick zap in the microwave every 6 months, is awesome. I realise my reviews sounds like a sales and marketing post, hahaha. But anyway, I really like this and have now bought some for my sister and my parents. I'm yet to check-in with them for their results, but I'm sure it'll be just as good a result as me!

I was sceptical at first
I was sceptical at first, but I am genuinely seeing fruit and veg last longer in my fridge. Usually fresh herbs only last days, I have had mint & coriander last for 2 weeks and I have done nothing different. Worth every penny I paid for them

Hi Lach,
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, 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.
Please email me hello@fridgefriend.com.au

Friends in your Fridge!
Bought my Fridge Friends for the caravan and thought I would test them out in our home fridge first….Great! Fruit and veg are lasting way longer than ever before….needless to say they won’t be leaving to go on holidays in the van….think I’m going to need a few more.
Thank you Fridge Friend you really are my “ friend in the fridge “

Great product
My only criticism would be the Velcro to hold it to the fridge could be better desgined because it isn't very firm. That is my only criticism because for the job it is designed to do it works really well. Removes odours and keeps food fresher for longer. I will be buying again

They Work
I was a little sceptical when I found out about Fridge Friend but went ahead after seeing Lifestylepioners suggest them. I got 4 units, 2 for the home and 2 for our caravan. I installed them in my fridge at home and they are working well. No ouders in the fridge and my vegies seem to be lasting longer.
I have not installed them in the van as yet as we unfortunately have not had a break. All in all I am very happy with them.

Fabulous! It does exactly what they say it does. My mulberries last 3weeks! A first for the tropics. So happy. Can't wait to test it in my caravan when I go off grid.

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.

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.

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.
