Here’s Why You Should Be Removing Excess Packaging Before Putting Your Groceries in the Fridge — and It’s Not Just Because It Looks Nice

I’m a smart home skeptic, but after switching to this AI refrigerator I’m never looking back

This $20 plastic wrap storage hack is so genius, I can’t believe I didn’t discover it sooner

Vitesy Shelfy: was $149 now $119 at vitesy.com
The lasted rendition of Vitesy’s Shelfy continues to keep food fresh for longer in your fridge, but has the added benefits of a blue LED lighting for more efficient photocatalysis and an enhanced battery performance.. It also comes with a new, slightly darker gray casing.

It might be aimed at cutting waste, but you will have to pay out for the privilege. The upgraded Shelfy retails for $149 in the U.S., with a launch offer at $119. It’s available for £119 in the U.K., with a launch offer at £109. Although the idea is that you will save on food, it might take you a while to work out even.

So, what exactly do you get for your money? The new version is equipped with a blue LED light, an improvement on the previous white LED, which is now more effective at activating the photocatalysis process — the mechanism behind the air purification.
The firmware has also been updated, with the upgrade offering more reliable battery management, with charging now taking about seven hours. What’s more, instead of the previous light gray casing, the new version is available with a dark gray casing.
The concept behind Shelfy

Vitesy is known for its air purifiers, and the Shelfy is an extension of its other products that fight air pollution, although this time it’s doing it in a fridge! The idea is that the Shelfy slows down the ripening process of bacteria, microorganisms, and odor from your refrigerator, helping your food stay fresh for longer.

It’s designed to sit within your crisper drawer or upon a shelf, and for an added benefit, it can be connected to an app. But you’ll want to know how it works. It uses photocatalytic technology, now combined with blue LED light, and its smart ceramic filter neutralizes bacteria and odors.
To understand the science, photocatalytic technology is an effective method for removing airborne pollutants by utilizing light. What’s more, it’s this tech that the company uses in its other air purifying products.
According to Vitesy, the upgraded Shelfy has an extended battery life, and I’d be interested to know the difference from the original model. Although right now, you can expect the battery to last for three weeks when set on Eco mode. This is the most efficient of the three modes, but you can also choose between Crisper and Performance.
I remain on the ‘shelf’ about the gadget because of the initial outlay, but I do respect the zero-waste mentality of Vitesy. From the packaging to the washable, replaceable filter, careful thought has been taken to ensure the product is sustainable.
