I live in an apartment with 3 other girls and we usually have a bunch of left overs from pizza to veges(some of the girls are on a diet) so our refregerator's smells but once I put the Minimate in our frige all the bad odor smells disappeared and our fruits and veges are fresh for weeks. This product really works and its amazing its way better than Baking soda! I’m a college student and my mom bought me this for christmas and this product is amazing.

But I decided to give it a try, and oh my goodness! It works like a charm! It really helps keep my fridge fresh, and odor-free, and I am noticing a difference in how much longer my fruits and vegetables are staying fresh! I love this!

What he may not realize is that activated oxygen will oxidize the methane gas too. The other point is once you kill what is causing the decay you also reduce the methane gas. No seems to be confused by the phrase leaving only pure oxygen. What that means is that once activated oxygen oxidizes an organism it gives up one of the oxygen molecules and what is left is O2. Not the entire atmoshere in the refrigerator is turned into pure oxygen! Neagle is right the technoloy is sound. What he may not realize is that activated oxygen will oxidize the methane gas too.

Isn't that a bit dangerous - especially in an electrical device? Leaving only pure oxygen? Isn’t that a bit dangerous – especially in an electrical device?

The technology is sound, although germs/bacteria is not the biggest contributer to produce loss, methane gas is. Methane is naturally produced from decaying organic mater such as the famed loved/dreaded strawberry. $60 is a small price to pay for fresher produce.
