Works Surprisingly Well
The Shelfy is expensive so it is easier to buy a new box of baking powder to pop in the fridge, but the Shelfy pays for itself in no time! I am constantly throwing away perishables including milk, cheese, fruits & veggies, etc. when I forget to eat them or am out of town for a few days. Having the Shelfy inside my refrigerator extends the life of my food and I am saving a lot of money after only a few months! For really sensitive items, like berries and milk, the Shelfy is most effective when it is close to it or right next to it. The Shelfy has also helped with the smell in my refrigerator. Even when I store items that have a stronger food odor, I find that my refrigerator smells fresher and nicer.I like that there is an app, but I can't always get all of the features to work. It does accurately record the temperature in my refrigerator and, like I suspected, my older fridge is not keeping the temperature as cold as desired, which is why I am also having shelf life issues. When the electricity was turned off for a day, I could keep the air cooler inside the fridge by not opening it and then could determine how many things I needed to toss by the time the power came back on. I haven't been able to figure out all of the lights and what they mean and I also haven't figured out the cleaning alerts so I just ignore them.The Shelfy is a long-term investment that pays for itself after a few months. It is definitely worth purchasing to extend the life of your food and to make using the kitchen fridge a more pleasant experience.

Really works
Works better than boxes of baking soda, which seem to work but only for a few days then you have to replace them. This is a buy it once and be done with it product that does it's job.

Works pretty well and has literally paid for itself, but it's not perfect
I have been using this for quite a while, but it's kind of difficult to tell whether it's actually working or not. It's slightly confusing in some ways, but it's been a great thing to have during recent power outages, saving me a lot of money.First, the good part -Where it recently shined was when we had a power outage and I was able to see the temperature inside the fridge via the app, rather than having to open the fridge door. The temp on the app was in line with the temp in the fridge once the power went back on and I could open the door and see that. The temp went too low for too long, so I did have to get rid of food that was in the fridge, but I felt much better not having to guess how long the interior was at too low a temp to be safe.In a second power outage, I was able to see that the temp did not go so low that I had to throw everything out again. I was really happy to have this gadget for both of those instances.Now for the confusing part - It usually tells me that my fridge is fine, even when I have detected slight odors. The odors I'm talking about are food odors, like onions, garlic, and that kind of thing rather than odors from spoilage or mold. But it's confusingly vague about odors.Another problems been with the fridge cleaning notification. It never properly updates to say that the fridge is clean after it has been emptied out and cleaned. Maybe it knows that I do not pull the plug out or pull the fridge out of its cabinetry to clean underneath it, and doesn't consider that the fridge has been cleaned because of that. I don't know, but I hate seeing that it hasn't;t been cleaned in X amount of days when it most certainly has.All in all, I think it's a great device and saved me from having to throw hundreds of dollars worth of food away, so although it's expensive, it has paid for itself.

Absolutely outstanding!
Yes Virginia, SHELFY actually does what it claims to do!I live in a home with my mother and sister, so when I told them I ordered a SHELFY they both were incredulous, they couldn't believe I "fell for it".I immediately thought of a meme: Why order SHELFY? We have something in the fridge that does the same thing. (Insert photo of opened box of baking soda )This is obviously a joke, but SHELFY is far from a laughing matter....this thing has already paid for itself in three months' time.We immediately noticed a complete lack of odor in our fridge. We run a pretty tight ship as far as cleanliness is concerned, but food odors appear eventually, no matter what. Now that SHELFY is our fridge guardian the stinky specters have been busted and busting makes us feel good!If SHELFY only kept odors at bay this effectively it would be worth the price in my opinion, but it does loads more.For example, how would like your food to last longer? I am pleased to say that their claims are completely true. Before we had this incredible gadget, we threw away vegetables every single week. Our compost pile loved it, but our wallets didn't.The application offers a host of additional benefits; however, I will admit that I haven't explored it enough to weigh in here, however I plan to learn it backwards and forwards and once I do, I will update this review.In closing, the juice is worth the squeeze!SHELFY is cooler and much more useful than that creepy ELF that keeps popping up!

Don’t waste money
The damn thing keeps shutting off. I recharged it, looked up instructions, etc, etc. just about ready to toss it.

Excellent Shelfy, Works Very Good, Love it!
The Shelfy is working out very well for me. I am a high raw vegan and buy tons of veggies weekly. I normally go to the store multiple times a week and with the Shelfy I notice that foods do stay fresh for longer. I freeze all my greens for smoothies that may not last long enough for salads and I notice I haven't had anything to freeze since I placed this inside the fridge. The size is pretty large but it is worth it and I slid it toward the back where not much would be anyway so it is working out great. It is very easy to use and I would recommend, I love mine. Thank you!

Meno odori, meno sprechi e maggior consapevolezza
Sto provando Shelfy di Vitesy da alcuni giorni e già penso mi sia difficile farne a meno.Shelfy è un dispositivo pensato per migliorare la qualità dell'aria all'interno del frigorifero, riducendo odori sgradevoli e aiutando a prolungare la freschezza degli alimenti. La confezione si presenta essenziale ma ben realizzata, con all'interno il prodotto, un piccolo manuale di istruzioni e il cavo di ricarica. È presente un solo filtro, ma è proprio questo il punto di forza del prodotto: non ha bisogno di filtri da sostituire in quanto è sufficiente lavarlo sotto l'acqua periodicamente (sarà l'app ad indicarvi quando) e riposizionarlo. Questo lo rende davvero pratico e a costo zero per quanto riguarda la manutenzione. Fin dai primi giorni di utilizzo ho notato una notevole riduzione degli odori all'interno del frigorifero; in particolare, quando in frigo ci sono molti odori, selezionando la modalità "performance" si nota la differenza in brevissimo tempo. La durata di frutta e verdura (per quanto dovrò ovviamente testarlo sul lungo periodo) sembra già migliorata. Anche a questo proposito c'è una modalità dedicata (crispy) che permette di prolungare ulteriormente la vita di frutta e ortaggi inserendo Shelfy nel cassettino del frigo.L'app è utilissima in quanto fornisce indicazioni sullo stato di salute del frigo, sulla temperatura interna, sulle variazioni di temperatura e sulle aperture del frigo, ma soprattutto lo fa in maniera intuitiva e con un'ottima interfaccia. A tal proposito, ciò che più mi sta piacendo di Shelfy è la maggior consapevolezza che mi sta dando sia sugli sprechi alimentari che sulle aperture inutili e troppo lunghe del frigo: vedere su un grafico quanti secondi è rimasto aperto nella giornata aiuta a fare maggior attenzione e ad aprirlo solo quando e per il tempo necessario. L'app è inoltre utile anche per quanto riguarda consigli sul posizionamento degli alimenti nel frigo.Volendo fare un appunto, sarebbe utile un aggiornamento dell'app che preveda un alert su smartphone laddove si superino ad esempio i 10 secondi di apertura del frigo, così come dei "badge" che si guadagnano quando viene ridotto il tempo di apertura. Per ora mi reputo in ogni caso ampiamente soddisfatto.

Love this
Really love this device. I can see a noticeable difference in how much longer food stays fresh in the fridge. It’s easy to set up and use, I have seen a reduction in food waste in the time I’ve had it, which is exactly what it promised to do. Would definitely recommend

Unproven Technology
This is a very solid-feeling, well-engineered product, but hard to assess its anti-bacterial, food-saving properties.Initially, it’s a bit fiddly to pair with domestic WiFi for a reliable connection and charging the unit with the supplied USB-C cable seems to take an age: allow at least eight hours to fully charge.The iOS App is very informative, but occasionally clunky and prone to freezing. (Apologies for the ironic pun!) It does, however, offer seemingly invaluable data about the internal temperature and health of your refrigerator! The temperature recorded by this nifty gadget does seem to read up to a couple of degrees Celsius above a conventional mechanical fridge thermometer. A heavily-loaded fridge does seem to impair the Shelfy’s efficacy - seemingly relying on a good air-flow to the unit.The app offers useful reminders to clean the enclosed ceramic filter - easily achieved by running under clean, running water and air-drying before reassembly. The rechargeable battery seems to last 2-3 weeks in ‘eco’ setting - less if you select a more powerful setting. Again, the app reminds you to recharge when the charge falls below 10%.Is it worth the hefty price tag? It’s hard to assess. Knowing more about the running temperature of a refrigerator is useful on several counts. Knowing how often the fridge door is opened is an eye-opener!Whether the enclosed fan and ceramic filter and UV LED lights actually help preserve food and reduce any odours is trickier to judge. The jury is still out.Does it change your fridge habits? Yes, it certainly makes you more aware of the efficiency and state of your largest kitchen appliance…and probably helps identify any nocturnal fridge-raiders!

Funziona ma con qualche bug da sistemare
Ho deciso di acquistarlo grazie all'offerta del giorno di ottobre e dopo aver visto alcune recensioni, ho pensato: chissà risolvo il problema dell'umidità del frigo!Come potete vedere dagli screen, prima di tutto, la batteria, anche se nuova, diciamo che rispetta il dichiarato, dopo 18 giorni, potete notare che mancano 12 giorni per lavare il filtro che va lavato ogni 30, è da ricaricare, da questo punto almeno per me ok, ho letto di gente scontenta per la batteria.Qui però c'è un bug, come dice l'applicazione, i dati non verranno registrati durante la ricarica e invece non è vero, continua a registrare le temperature...Sempre sulla batteria, la % è ballerina, oggi segna 80, poi 70, poi 80 di nuovo, probabilmente è il freddo? Chissà, non è grave però sale e scende, ogni tanto si disconnette e ci vogliono anche diverse ore per farlo ricollegare, fa da solo, ma inspiegabilmente sparisce, non ci sono più le temperature in app.Dopo questi piccoli bug, che sicuramente possono essere corretti con qualche update, passiamo ai pro.Il frigorifero dovrebbe lavorare con una temperatura tra 4 e 6, io avevo il mio settato a 5, ho un Ariston al cui interno c'è un adesivo che è verde se all'interno l'ambiente è ok, onestamente il colore è sempre stato verde, sicuramente ogni tanto diventa più pallido e infatti abbassavo a 4 per poi rialzare a 5, sempre pensando alla media, 4/6, metto 5, e invece, grazie a questo dispositivo ho notato che settando 5 il frigo lavora comunque con una temperatura più alta, anche a causa delle aperture, come potete vedere i primi 3 giorni l'ho usato settato a 5 e andava ben sopra la media toccando anche 8 gradi, non fate caso ai giorni con i picchi in basso rossi, lì è il frigo quando va in modalità "spesa", ho scoperto anche questa cosa, premendo il tasto spesa, consigliato da Ariston, il frigo abbassa drasticamente le temperature.Comunque settato poi a 4 il frigo ormai lavora molto meglio e il clima nel frigo è migliore e rispetta la media consigliata, sicuramente senza lo shelfy io avrei continuato ad usarlo settato a 5(per logica).Non ho più l'umidità di prima e anche gli odori forti sono diminuiti, sulla durata degli alimenti non so ancora, magari aggiornerò la recensione, per ora comunque a parte qualche bug software il prodotto è promosso!Batteria ok, odori ok, filtro ok(questa volta l'ho caricato in concomitanza con la pulizia del filtro, poi azzerato la conta dei giorni), resta solo da vedere meglio la durata del cibo.I punti a favore maggiore del prodotto che mi hanno spinto a comprarlo comunque sono 2:1. Il filtro che si lava all'infinito2. La batteria che si cambia in autonomiaQuindi che dire? Teoricamente è un prodotto che a meno che non si guasta in modo irriparabile, è molto molto longevo!Se vi interessa tenetelo d'occhio e acquistatelo in sconto magari! È sicuramente un prodotto che migliorerà il vostro frigo.
