The Fridge Friend definitely works

The Fridge Friend definitely works. Food stays fresher and crisper for much longer.

The fridge friend really works

The fridge friend really works! Our food waste has dramatically decreased since using it - all those leafy greens that usually go limp after 3 days can last over a week and everything is fresher. On top of that, customer service is amazing - I got a small hole in my mineral sachet and it was replaced free of charge straight away.

Very happy could not believe how quickly it worked

Great customer service, I requested 2 green and 2 white when there wasnt really an option when ordering 4 pieces. This was no problem at all for the Fridge Friend staff, they were very helpful and I love having the two colours, I can keep track of them in our 2 fridges.

Hi Debbie,Thank you for taking the time to provide this 5-star review. We really appreciate your support.Cheers,JonathanCo-Founder,

This product really works! Yes, really :-)

This product really works! Like many reviewers here, I was initially sceptical of the ads on my phone. However, the "buy one, get one free" offer was enough of a discount for me to give the product a go after checking review sites. This was some 12 months ago, and the difference is obvious. Fresh produce lasts notably longer, especially things like strawberries, mushrooms and capsicums, and there is no odour. The upfront cost is significant but they definitely reduce waste. Highly recommended.

Happy Fridge Friend owner over 3 years

I purchased my original Fridge Friend three years ago and have definitely noticed the incredible benefits over that time. It kept my food fresh for so much longer! Since my first unit finally reached its three year mark, I just purchased and installed the freshness refill. The replacement process was incredibly easy, and the unit is already back to work keeping my fridge fresh. I absolutely love this product and highly recommend it!

I thought this was going to be a dud, but the effects are frankly amazing. The fridge has none of those "should have been eaten 3 days ago" smells. Bloody amazing

Hi Chris, we're thrilled to hear that you're impressed with the fridge! Thanks for sharing your positive experience. We're glad it’s meeting your expectations! Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder www.fridgefriend.com

My husband and I are delighted with the fridge friends. They arrived quickly, well-packaged, and with clear directions for use. Always a plus! We were lucky enough to receive the 2 for one deal recently - thank you to the business owners for their generosity, and their kindness, in giving me the requested green packs, even though the order form would only accept white. We've had them in the fridge for nearly 2 weeks and the fridge smells fresher, and looks cleaner and more organised. (I followed the directions about preparing the fridge for our fridge friends). It might be a bit too early to be sure, but we think our food and drinks are staying fresher for longer.

Hi Jenny, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear the fridge friends are making a positive difference. Enjoy your fresh and organized fridge, and feel free to reach out anytime. Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder

It would be great if there were some clear instructions on the best way to store your fruits and vegetables in the fridge ie: in frezzer bags but not sealed, in separate containers, lose in the crisper draw, and what to store where, as in lettuce, tomatos, capsicums etc in the crisper draw but broccoli, spring onions mushrooms in separate containers etc. Cheers Peta

I have only been using Fridge Ftiend for a short while, but can already see a difference (inprovement) in the quality and length of storage time of my fresh produce. My fridge also has no lingering food smells. So far I am really impressed with this product.

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear that Fridge Friend is making a difference in your kitchen. Cheers, Jonathan Co-Founder

I believe that this product works. The fresh produce appear to last longer. I had some soggy blueberries, but to be fair, those berries had already entered the exponential aging phase by the time FF went in.

While it is a great product and costs of research is never cheap nor reasonable, the costs associated with buying FF is considered to be on the higher end. Unless we are operating on a bar bridge, one will need to buy at least 4 FF which brings the costs to $200.

To end off, it's an excellent product and the results show.

Hi Evelyn, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that the product helps extend the freshness of your produce. We appreciate your understanding of the costs and your kind words about the effectiveness. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out!
