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

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. Probs more importantly the Fridge Friend works as advertised and my veggies are definately lasting much longer. The monthly reminder to resent is fantastic too! Thank you FF.

I wrap my herbs in paper towel and they last 2 weeks.I am getting 3 times the life of my products!I have set a calendar entry on my phone so I don't forget to microwave regularly.Delivery was really quick.Not saying they are cheap, but what I have saved in discarding food - WORTH EVERY PENNY

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!

Keeping the fridge clean just became easier with these green shelf covers. They have a rough and a smooth side but I couldn't find that in the extensive instruction manual, so I use my green shelf covers rough side down. This helps to keep them in place, and easier for that quick wipe over. Did I mention they were green, to me this is a great fridge colour as they match the contents of the crisper draw. All joking aside, for the price you can't go wrong.

I like it, as it helps keep the veggies and fruit fresh for a little longer. I just wish the plastic cover had a wider base to enable it stand still when you don't want to stick it to the side of the fridge.

Ordering process was easy and order arrived promptly.

Easy to order & delivery super quick. Thank you

So far I have one fridge friend in my fruit & veggie draw at the bottom of my fridge. It has been there a week. Usually I notice mould and black spots on carrots and papaya after a week but so far there are none ! It’s looking like a good investment !

Easy experience

We can’t tell whether the Fridge Friends are actually working, despite following the instructions carefully. Given the cost, we’re disappointed that there’s been no noticeable improvement so far. We’ll continue to monitor the results, but at this stage, we’re not convinced enough to recommend them.

So good i have bought 3 sets for my sisters.

It takes awhile to be delivered to Hawaii which is too bad because our warm, humid weather rots our produce quickly.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your patience and hope the product helps keep your produce fresh longer. We're working on faster shipping options for Hawaii.

Happy with delivery time and communication

Hi Linda, we're so glad to hear you're happy with the delivery and communication! Thanks for your kind words and support.
