Smelly fridge? This deodorant can keep you fresh for 10 years — and it’s on sale for just $22

It’s happened to everyone: a takeout container gets shoved in the back of the fridge, and before you know it, you’re slapped in the face by the stench as soon as you open the door. A box of baking soda can help, but for the worst odors, you’ll want a dedicated odor remover like Purriko deodorant. This handy gadget uses advanced decomposition techniques to remove odors and works for a decade before needing to be replaced.

Why is this a good deal?

This deodorant reached its lowest price of the year. The last time it dropped more was just before Christmas, so it may be a while before we see another discount. One thing’s for sure: It will cost more than $22 worth of baking soda to keep your fridge cool for the entire 10 years.

Why do I need this?

Nobody likes a smelly fridge. It’s not appealing, especially when you’re going for a late-night snack. Worse than that, these aromas can infiltrate food and water. While keeping a refrigerator clean is the best way to keep odors to a minimum, things happen: a box of food gets left behind or a container leaks a mysterious liquid onto the shelf. With this deodorant, you don’t have to worry about smells that linger long after cleaning time.

This is also an environmentally friendly option. The stainless steel housing and filter core have a lifespan of 10 years, without needing to replace anything. It simply works, saving you from having to buy refills. Of course, this means it’s a passive filter – it works slower than a powered air filter, but it also works consistently rather than just when it’s on. It’s recommended that you have one of these deodorizers for every 18 cubic feet of refrigerator space.

What the reviewers say

Many people rely on this gadget to keep odors at bay—it has nearly 3,000 five-star reviews.

Pros

“Having boiled eggs and onions in the fridge at the same time can be horrible,” said a fan. “Baking soda can’t mask smells, so I bought it to try, and to my surprise, it really leaves the fridge smelling fresh. … I’d give it 10 stars if I could.”

Other owner echoed this praise: “I’ve tried many, many boxes of baking soda over the years, odor crystals, and just about every other odor control product in a refrigerator… and this little gem is it! I’m so glad I stumbled upon this .”

One pet owner even said it can eliminate that dreaded dog smell. “I have three medium/large dogs that sleep in a small room. … It always smells like dogs in there. I didn’t think it would work because this room is about 7′ x 10′, I figured even if the product worked, the room would be too big to function effectively. After about 36 hours I went downstairs this morning to let my dogs out and there is no dog smell.

Cons

Although many fans say it works great, some are impressed with the price. “It’s a little pricey! But if it lasts the advertised lifespan, it’ll be worth it!”

Another fan lamented the lack of any indicator lights. “The device is attractive and well made, but I can’t tell if it is functional or just decorative.”
