This Adorable Fridge Deodorizer Will Keep Your Kitchen Fresh

When it comes to quirky kitchen gadgets, I basically want them all. If you can't have fun in the kitchen while making dinner, then what's the point, right?

The latest gadget that I put to the test is the Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer — a mushroom-shaped deodorizer that keeps your fridge smelling fresh and fun. This adorable little guy is designed to make your life easier while adding a sprinkle of whimsy every time you open the fridge.

But is this cute gadget worth it, or does it just take up precious space in the fridge? Keep reading to find out. 

What is the Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer?

The Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer is shaped like a little mushroom man and is designed to sit in your fridge and absorb those less-than-fresh odors. It's made of non-toxic materials and has a spot for you to add baking soda, the classic odor-absorber.

Besides its adorable appearance, the Fun Guy is small enough not to take up too much fridge space, yet noticeable enough to bring a smile whenever you spot him hiding behind your milk carton or tucked next to the condiments.

How Does Fun Guy Work?

The Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer works by harnessing the power of baking soda, an all-time favorite natural deodorizer. To set it up, you just twist off the mushroom cap, fill the base with baking soda, and then snap the cap back on. The baking soda absorbs odors as it circulates in the fridge, keeping unwanted smells at bay.

The design is pretty genius—there's a perforated cover that allows airflow, so the baking soda can do its job without spilling out or getting soggy.

Once you've got your Fun Guy set up, he'll start working immediately to neutralize smells. And here's the best part: you can easily refill him with fresh baking soda every month or so, keeping him useful and smelling fresh without any waste.

Results

Let's be honest — as cute as he is, I wasn't expecting miracles from this little mushroom. But after a week in my fridge, I could smell a difference. Those lingering smells from last night's leftovers, that mysterious funk from the vegetable drawer — it was like Fun Guy had sucked them all up. 

However, Fun Guy is not a magical smell eliminator. He's a deodorizer, so he's not going to mask or cover smells with a new scent. Instead, he just helps neutralize odors, keeping things feeling fresher and more pleasant overall. Regular deep cleans of the fridge are still necessary. 

Pros

• Reusable and Eco-Friendly: This isn't a one-time use gadget. All you need to keep Fun Guy going is some baking soda, making it a low-waste and budget-friendly option.

• Space-Saving: He's small and doesn’t take up much room in the fridge, which is ideal because you don't want your deodorizer hogging valuable space.

Cons

• Doesn't Combat All Smells: While Fun Guy helps with general odors, he's not a replacement for cleaning out old food. If you've got a particularly smelly fridge situation, you'll need to do some deep cleaning.

Bottom Line

The Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer by OTOTO is a delightful way to keep your fridge fresh while adding a dash of personality. It's effective at neutralizing everyday fridge odors, affordable and reusable.

While it's not a cure-all for extreme smells, it does a great job of keeping things pleasant on a daily basis. Plus, if you open your fridge and giggle at the sight of your Fun Guy, then that's basically a win-win.
