ANSIO Dehumidifier Pack of 20 x 500ml Condensation Remover Moisture Absorber, Dehumidifiers for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Wardrobe, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Bathroom, Basement 500 ml

First off I notice the one or two stars reviewers have no idea what they are doing.Look, what this does is remove moisture BUT .....does NOT PREVENT moisture!Condensation seems to be the biggest problem for them to understand so just to clarify:(damp is dealt with later)When hot or warm air meets a cold surface moisture is produced. Physics.To give perspective. Should you enter a room with cold walls and blast out heat then moisture , tosome degree or another, WILL be produced and nothing can stop it apart from having warm walls.Also , and MOST importantly, the air in the room can and does retain moisture making the situation worse sincesaturated air will deposit moisture onto surfaces even if they are not cold.So what use are they? Well, I have an old property with perpetually cold walls and I am , in winter , always fighting a condensation problem as unattendended mold appears and boy oh boy does it stink as well as being both annoying and awkward to get rid of. I use these crystals to prevent the air from carrying moisture whichalleviates the problem. In truth it rather shocks me when I see how much water is accrued in them.As it happens I am having new quantum style radiators installed throughout so I expect to keep the walls warmthus preventing condensation. For the moment continuous heating is way too expensive given the cost of powernowadays.Now for the matter of damp:Damp is caused by an EXTERNAL source bringing moisture in. A damp proof course not working or a burst pipe perhaps.Maybe a slope in your garden bringing water to your walls. Whatever the cause these crystals can do NOTHING to helpstop damp. Again, the crystals can only extract water from the air and mitigate your damp problems that way.So, are they good at extracting moisture from the air? Oh yes indeed they are! They are excellent and as mentioned earlier,I continue to be surprised (shocked?) by just how much they extract.It may be that I have a particularly bad problem and so they extract more and at a faster rate than with a lessor problem ,I cannot say.Just as it says in the blurb it does take a little time for them to kick in so don't expect to see lots after just a couple of hours.Of course it might be that the lack of a result points to the lack of a problem that can be helped by the crystals.Crystals are crystals and so must react to moisture.....it is what crystals do. To suggest they don't work like some have,is ridiculous!Finally I have to say that:From my experience I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Awful product. A waste of money and thank god its cheap, otherwise i would have asked for a refund.I had placed two of them for nearly two weeks now in a small bedroom. This product simply doesn’t do anything. The white “spheres” got stuck together, there is no water whatsoever collected and no difference on the humidity level.A waste of money and damaging to the environment as the container is made of thick plastic most probably not recyclable. Even though you are not supposed to, before binning it i opened the top bit to be able to take a picture and share with other customers my experience.AVOID!

An absolute waste of money they do not work as you can see in pictures.

Not sure why people say these don't work....maybe they are unsure what condensation is...or they aren't putting them near where the condensation actually is.....my windows used to get v bad condensation the windows were dripping with water every morning.....put one of these on the windowsills and now no condensation at all.......would highly recommend these.....

Bought to go in a car that at one time had a leaky sunroof. Now in winter, with the heater on condensation was ridiculous. Despite air con on and heater at full blast, more water on screen inside than out. Bought 1 pack ANSIO Interior Dehumidifiers, day one put 2 in the car by end of day 3 both had collected water, by end of day 7 used 4 in total but car no longer has epic condensation. Have decided to keep one in the car as a precaution and so far...its working.

the dehumidifiers do not seem to work. the crystal balls turned solid and there is not a single drop of moisture collected on the inside even in the most moist places. it is very confusing that for some people they tend to work very well and for some not at all, this is at least an impression i got from the reviews. only purchased because i hoped i would be the lucky one. quite a disappointment

Good quality, a great price and well packed.I've used these in the shed to minimise moisture so my tools don't rust. My shed is painted with Cuprinol Ducksback paint, just had a new roof frame/panels/felt put on so is pretty well maintained. One of these dehumidifiers still managed to suck about 200ml of moisture from the air in just a couple of days!The air in the shed now feels drier and I am on my second dehumidifier which is still working, but drawing less moisture (as I assume moisture content in the shed has now decreased).Previously, I noticed if I went into the shed early in the morning, there would be a lot of condensation on things like paint tins and this has now stopped.The product itself is a typical disposable dehumidifier. To use, simply take off the plastic lid, remove the plastic foil film and replace the lid - easy peasy!They are great in the garage, shed, near bay windows or if you dry your clothes indoors.5 for £6.49 is a great deal - highly recommended!

Ordered again and again - very good ones. High capacity, works very well and sucks dump in very fast. It's little more expensive than some local shops but really, pay as little as few pennies more and voila. Moreover in my opinion there is no reason to buy scented ones - all you can have for another few dimes more is few minutes of weak aroma. Not worth it. These here are best for the job. Recommend! Same with delivery - fast, well packed, on time. Cheers!
