Ozoori in a full fridge, does it still work?

Airflow matters less than people make it sound. I had mine tucked behind a giant tub of yogurt for a while and it still did its thing. If you’re really jammed in there, though, the boost mode seems to help.

It still does something, just less. Mine gets buried under bags of frozen veggies constantly and I still notice the difference compared to when the battery dies. It’s not going to fix a fridge that’s already gross, but a full fridge isn’t a dealbreaker for me.

A packed fridge is exactly when I’d expect it to struggle, not keep working. The thing needs air to move through it, so if it’s buried behind a wall of containers it’s basically purifying the two inches around itself. I had mine in a fridge that was maybe half full and it did fine. Then I did a big shop and it was crammed in there and I honestly couldn’t tell it was doing anything for those two weeks. Same device, same battery, just no space. People keep saying airflow doesn’t matter but that doesn’t add up to me. If the air can’t reach the thing, what’s it actually cleaning? I’d rather leave a gap for it than pretend it’s working through a pile of Tupperware.

Mine works fine crammed full of leftovers.

Mine’s been sitting on a shelf wedged between a jar of pickles and some old takeout containers for about two months now. The fridge is always full because I cook a lot and hate throwing stuff out. I honestly can’t tell if it’s doing much in there. The smell situation hasn’t gotten worse, but it wasn’t terrible to begin with. What I do notice is that it keeps running and I have to charge it every few weeks, so at least the battery claim seems roughly right. But whether it’s actually cleaning the air when it’s basically buried? No idea. I mostly keep it because I got it as a gift and feel bad tossing it. If I were buying one myself I’d probably want more visible proof it’s doing something before spending money on it.

Mine still seems to help even when the fridge is packed, though I keep it in the door bin where nothing really blocks it. I mostly notice that the smell after reheating fish doesn’t linger overnight anymore. That alone makes it worth leaving in there for me.

Airflow talk is mostly nonsense. A full fridge is actually easier for these things since there’s less empty space to circulate through anyway. The one I had did absolutely nothing useful though, full or half empty, so I wouldn’t count on it saving anything.

I’d just leave it where it fits and not bother rearranging the whole fridge for it. Mine still did its job even when I had it tucked behind a couple of containers, so the airflow thing never seemed like a dealbreaker to me. If your fridge is always that packed, though, you might just get slower results.

Mine actually got worse when the fridge was super packed, or at least it felt that way. I had leftovers stacked right against it for a couple weeks and the smell came back way faster than usual. Once I cleared a little pocket around it, things went back to normal. So yeah, it still does something, but I don’t think it’s magic in a totally jammed fridge.

Mine actually seemed to quit doing much once I crammed the shelves too tight. I still keep it in there but I moved it to the door shelf where there’s a little breathing room, and that made a bigger difference for me than leaving it buried. If space is tight I’d just pick a spot near the front and not fuss over it.
