Refrigerator Deodorizer Freezer Eliminator Outperforms Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Within 24 hours or maybe even less, the fridge no longer had a smell. It was like magic."
• "Ended up taking about 4 days in each freezer and the smell is 100% gone."
• "It works better and for longer than baking soda or any other product I’ve found."
• "Within hours i noticed a HUGE difference, and within days the smell is so faint, you have to sniff really hard."
• "Sure enough within two days the smell was completely gone!"
• "Within 24 hours after using this product, the smell is gone."
• "This product worked within a day to get rid of the odor & keep the fridge smelling fresh."

Cons:

• "Bought this product mostly off reviews… excited to get rid of the smell in my fridge, it comes in and three days later, it still smells. Would not recommend at all."
• "It smelled like bleach and ruined all their food in the fridge."
• "At first I thought “maybe this works!” I’ve had it just over a month now and I can say NO it doesn’t reduce odors at all."
• "We tried this product it created a chemical smell that’s horrible."
• "When I first put it in the fridge it had a strong clorine smell but after about 2 days it went away. After a week the fridge smell came back."
• "Put this product in our cooler that previous had onions in it, actually put 3 in it, did not help at all, so disappointed."
• "This product, after 2 full weeks in my fridge, has been useless."

Odor

Pros:

• "The smell permeated through almost everything... the fridge smell was gone."
• "It keeps my fridge very fresh smelling and is attractive."
• "Surprisingly strong... But these did great getting rid of the tough lingering smells!"
• "It gives the fridge a fresh clean smell."
• "This thing has actually taken out a majority of the smell!"
• "The next day the smell was gone!!"
• "I’ve been using these for over a year and they are amazing. They make my fruit and veggies last longer and keep any odor from cooking from forming."

Cons:

• "Definitely has a distinct odor of its own, nothing offense and doesnt affect food but not what was advertised."
• "it was obvious when they stopped working, after exactly three months suddenly the refrigerator/freezer stale odors returned."
• "But it has not been able to eliminate or even reduce the odor of crab legs from our fridge."
• "This product has a chemical or bleach odor which I find equally unpleasant."
• "Has a slight chlorine odor which I don't like but it's mild and the lesser of two evils."
• "More than 4 days after I put the deodorizer in the fridge the smell was still very strong."
• "This smell horrible of stronger chlorine than even any swimming pool. Please do not buy since I would be concerned about food safety using these in any refrigerator with food in it."

Longevity

Pros:

• "Lasts the whole season in our boat frig."
• "Lasts a long time."
• "Fridge is free of weird odors 6 months later."
• "Even better, the NonScents deodorizer lasts 6 months."
• "I think I had it for about a year and it finally stopped deodorizing."
• "Update: this was effective for over ten months! Very good value for the money!!!"
• "I love this product and just bought my second one! I purchased in January 2021 and it JUST gave out April 2022 - lasted sooo long."

Cons:

• "It would be nice if they were effective for six months instead of just three."
• "Now, after less than 2 months, my ice cube tray is smelling moldy AND my ice cubes taste as if I used water from a swimming pool."
• "Its less efficient than a box of baking soda, because baking soda lasts longer."
• "Unfortunately, its not 100% which I am disappointed in but I prefer it to purchasing a new fridge."
• "This product is completely worthless."
• "Had high hopes for this product as did not want to change the baking soda every month but it did not control smells in the refrigerator or freezer."
• "I’m not sure if it did that much, couldn’t really notice."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "It boasts that it's made from biodegradable ingredients which implies that it's a green product."
• "I like the fact that it is made from natural zeolite clay and not toxic fragrances like others are."
• "I would've preferred had this case been made out of biodegradable plastic or even bamboo, because then it would also be more worth the price point."
• "These are great, but with the whole climate situation and talk about carbon footprints, I just don't know how companies such as this move into the future."
• "For subscribers, can they just send deodrizers inside of the case to replace? I feel guilty to throw away the plastic case that is intact."
• "Upon examination, it looks like a bag of baking soda in a (nicely designed) plastic shell, that you're supposed to throw out in six months, which isn't great for the environment."
• "Would be much better if they sold the bags as refills."

Cons:

• "I do hate that there's so much plastic so that's why the 3-star rating."
• "I would've preferred had this case been made out of biodegradable plastic or even bamboo, because then it would also be more worth the price point."
• "There are also no disposal instructions--on the package or on their website."
• "I just trashed the deodorizer from the freezer. Will look for something else."
• "The agents caused the steel to become permanently discolored."
• "It smells like bleach when you take it out of the package which made me very hesitant to put it in the frig."
• "Just ONE NonScents unit now replaces THREE of the Arm & Hammer deodorizing pucks."
