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 threw them in the microwave like it instructed, and all the water evaporated away, partly in the microwave then over the next fifteen minutes outside of the microwave. This is great for my car in the winter to help with internal condensation.

I was worried about my guns rusting. These make a good option for a vault for rust prevention. You do have to dry them out occasionally.

I followed the instructions to the last detail. Microwave 6 minutes, then turn over and Microwave for 6 minutes more. When I picked it up off the plate in the Microwave both bags burst! Waste of $20!

After a couple recharges I pulled it from the microwave and beads went all across the kitchen. The seam melted and its useless.

Works, and recharge / dry process works close to the instructions... But pretty slow to dry the air even when pushed directly into tight space trying to absorb moisture trapped under car carpets.

When my Mother-in-law asked for DAMP RID, I envisioned the spills, burns, and mess associated with Calcium Chloride. I found this alternative, which weve appreciated. The monitoring method is great -- check the weight to see how much water the silica gel has picked. Previous reviews identified that its easy to melt the covering in the microwave, so I used the oven to recharge -- slow but effective.

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 put each of these in a large plastic bin that I use to store 3D printer filament. Each one has a humidity meter and at the start, they read 30%. Within a couple of hours, the bins with the Wisedry bags read 10%. I really appreciated the included sheet that told how to weigh the bags to determine when they should be recharged, and it gave instructions for doing this in a microwave, oven or leaving on a radiator (should you have one of those.)

I bought this to keep the inside of a waterproof fire safe dry and preserve the documents inside. I can definitely see a difference in a short period of time. The ability to recharge the bags is a huge selling point to enable me to endlessly use. If you have moisture problems in your safe or file cabinets and your documents or valuables are showing signs of damage these are the way to go to keep you from drilling a hole to power a dehumidifier.

Bought these for wife’s 21 bronco. We’ve had back windows out, and got rained on several times. Despite having washout interior, still managed to get a mildew smell. Put both of these bags in the cargo area, smell was gone the next day. Couldn’t believe they worked that good and that fast.
