i just had a pear that had been in the fridge for an entire month.

our new fridge has an ethylene filter in the fruit drawer to slow down ripening.

i'll say!

it looked exactly as it did the day i put it in there and tasted just like the other one i had a month ago straight from the store!


i'm shocked that some "advanced technology" they use to sell fridges actually works (if you've ever thought about getting a fridge with one of those tap-to-see-what's-inside windows,... don't!)

1. Amazing)!)

Good to know. I'm glad it works so well.

2. What's the problem with the tap window fridges????

Just in case we have to replace ours...

3. Our new one has that too.

I had a peach that I know had been in there for 3 weeks, it was wonderful. My husband loves it, says it is fabulous! The same with the crisper for veggies, they are lasting longer too.

5. Aren't the pesticides really keeping the food longer?

I know that many of our foods last longer then they used to due to various chemicals added.

7. It's really preservatives that make things last longer

This was an organic pear, so it should have any of that

8. That's good. I was always mad when my fruit went bad so quickly.

Hopefully this technology goes mainstream.

9. i saw a filter for maybe $12 on amazon.

i assume you can put it in any old refrigerator drawer. not sure if there's any special airflow involved.

10. Wow! Thank you

I have the old old refrigerator but that’s awesome that it is affordable. I was thinking it was for new smart refrigerators.

11. just search for ethylene gas filter or absorber

here's an example. i merely searched for it, can't vouch for it but it has good ratings:

4. Cool. That's why I replace my appliances so rarely. When I finally do, it is a whole new era!

I think that's a great feature.

6. Yes, our old fridge had a decent run of 12 years.

12. I picked up a hand-me-down fridge this spring

80s model semi-commercial. STILL whole new era compared to the one we were using
