Reply from Fridge Friend
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
Cheers Jonathan Co-Founder
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.

It worked
It worked so I bought some for my children and also for my sister. I normally buy just 1 cucumber and sometimes that 1 cucumber goes soft in the crisper. Now I can buy 2 cucumbers without it going soft. I grow strawberries and generally it goes mouldy before I can eat all the strawberries. Now the strawberries don’t go mouldy but the fridge friend dries it out but I get to eat them all.

It works, but you need enough units in a larger fridge
At first I didn't think it was working as I placed 3 in my fridge. Everything was cleaned out including putting only new produce.
However I didn't feel that it made very much difference to the freshness of my produce until I added 1 more Fridge Friend.
Voila! My lettuce was able to last for a week without rotting. It was a nice change to able to enjoy fresher lettuce and fruits before my weekly grocery run.

Reliable product with excellent service.
I had been happily using Fridge Friend for approx. 22 months, when I felt it was not working quite as well as it had been, and ordered 2 refills. I then realised that the product is guaranteed for 3 years.
I contacted Jomathan, and was promptly promised a refund (I had already ordered, and paid for the refills). The refunded amount appeared in my account the following day. Excellent, prompt service.
