wisedry 2 x 500 Gram [2.2 lbs] Rechargeable Silica Gel Car Dehumidifier, Microwave Fast Reactivated Desiccant Packets Large for Safes Closet Basement Garage Storage Moisture Absorber Bag Reusable

I had one melt a hole In the microwave. So I had figured maybe it was completely dry and I just kept cooking it. No biggie, my mistake. The next packet weighed 700g, so i nuked it 6 minutes, flipped it, and nuked it for another 6 minutes. When I came back, the second one also had a nice hole in it. Theyre definitely not microwavable. I will say this though, they do work, but yeah, dont microwave them. I was sketched out about throwing them in the oven too, since the silica beads started to clump together and get the bags all tarry. I really dont think the bags theyre using are meant to be cooked. So Id go as far to say theyre only reusable if you can get them into a completely dry environment for a few days so they can recharge.

Much easier to deal with than the usual silica gel beads.

In the application Im using it for (trying to keep a slightly leaky car dry in the winter) this works but needs to be recharged/dried out pretty often, and that takes longer (in the oven or microwave) than I was expecting (takes longer than the instructions say). The outer cover seems very good quality though.

I purchased a two pack of WiseDrys approximately five weeks ago, and have generally been happy with how they reduce moisture where they are placed. However, upon drying one of the packages, the silica beads got too hot and melted, burning two holes in the pouch fabric and destroying the product. It would seem to me the pouch material could be much more durable, it almost has a paper quality to it. My other pouch is still intact after a couple uses, but I’m doubtful it will last much longer either. Updated to add that upon reading this review, the seller reached out and offered me a 100% refund. Kudos to them for doing the right thing. It doesnt change my 2-star review of the product itself, but I felt it was important to add that this is a quality seller.

The Wisedry works great in my 3D printing filament drybox. When I attempted to recharge it in my microwave oven, I followed the instructions (I thought), and ran the oven at 100% for 6 minutes, turned the Wisedry over, and ran another 6 minutes. What I didnt understand is these instructions are to be used when you have confirmed there is at least 500g of moisture (you need to weigh it). The result was the product stuck to the turntable in my microwave, and started smoldering. The seller was quick to answer my messages, and seemed very concerned about understanding what went wrong. After explaining the necessity of weighing the product before microwaving, they kindly refunded the cost of one Wisedry. I like the product, and will be buying more, but Ill weigh it before recharging. It might also be best when microwaving to check every couple minutes, and stop if it seems way too hot.

If you live in a humid environment, you need these substantial desiccant packs for lock boxes and safes. When they weigh 23 oz (650g) revitalize them in the oven per included directions. Stop possible mold, mildew rust or corrosion by using these desiccant packs.

Im using one of these in my fencing bag. I close the cuff of my glove around it and toss it into my mask. I still pull the jacket and plastron out when I get home, but this noticeably absorbs the residual dampness in the bag.

I tested one in the closet vs an area that has humidity. Forgot about it for two days. Came back and the one at the humidity area definitely absorbed something as it was much heavier than the closet one. I wish it had a way to indicate it was full like the smaller packages. Im just guessing when it is full; resetting it in the microwave is also a guess as to when it is done. Thats the only reason i docked one star.

I used these desiccant packs for our old farm truck to pull out excess moisture. It worked pretty well, but when I recharged one in the microwave according to the instructions, it exploded and left a burned and charred mess everywhere.
