Have been using Fridge Friend now for 2 weeks, with all my fruit and vegetables loose, where before they were always in plastic bags, nothing has gone limp and still very fresh. Would recommend purchasing this product, with the added bonus that it is Australia made and owned.

Hi Natasha,
As a small, Aussie owned family business we take all feedback seriously.
Thank you for joining the Fridge Friend family and helping reduce food waste!
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. Bigger loads – If your fridge is large or packed with fresh produce, you may need two or more units for the best effect.
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, occasionally we encounter a unit that simply doesn’t perform as it should. 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 directly hello@fridgefriend.com.au

Genuinely blown away by how well these work!
Absolutely love our fridge friends! We have noticed a HUGE difference in how long our fruit & veg last which has significantly saved us on our grocery bill. This is such a genius invention.

I was quite sceptical at first as I had purchased something similar in another brand and it was quite expensive and unfortunately I was duped.
I have had my Fridge Friend now for quite a while and I am so pleased I did purchase it. It definitely works and my produce is so fresh and it has been refrigerated for over 2 weeks. I normally would have had to throw a lot of it out by now due to mould problems, so I am so pleased I gave Fridge Friend the benefit of the doubt.

These really work! My fruits and vegetables are lasting much longer than they used to. I have had strawberries last for 6 days with no mould or deterioration. And it’s great getting the handy email to remind me to reset the filters each month.

Best Purchase Ever!
I was intimidated with the price point in the beginning but took action and bought 3. We love berries and we always end up wasting it as it gets bad too quickly. Fridge friend is a game changer for us. I can now buy more nice a week and keep them in the fridge and the berries are still good even after a week!
I also have meal kits and Fridge Friend keeps them fresh for longer.
The best part is I can use it for 3 years and reactivate it once a month so I am really saving heaps of money after all!
Even my husband is impressed. Thank you!

No booklets
I ordered 5 fridge friends as presents but only received 1 booklet for operation, they have since sent me another 4 booklets, very good service

Hi Helen,
Thank you for joining the Fridge Friend family.
I'm sorry you only received one Freshness Blueprint booklet. We have recently started adding the booklet to every Fridge Friend to ensure this issue doesn't happen again.
Please email hello@fridgefriend.com.au, and I will personally organise to have four booklets shipped to you by Express Post.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
