Hillington Car Dehumidifier Bag Reusable 1kg - 2-Pack Moisture Absorbers with Sticky Pads - Microwave Rechargeable, Condensation Absorbers for Windows - Reusable Dehumidifier Bags for Home and Cars

This pair of reusable 1kg dehumidifier bags seem to have done a good job so far in our van, leaving a lot less condensation to deal with. Well made & solid, they come with sticky pads to keep them in place. Have recharged them once so far in the microwave which took about 10 minutes after blue disk turned pink telling me to recharge. Nice colours to with this pack, so very happy with my purchase.

I was a bit dubious concerning the claims of this product but I needn’t have been concerned. It works extremely well. No more demisting the windscreen and other windows in morning can just jump in vehicle and drive. After 3 weeks and Storm Ingrid and Storm Chandra the blue spot started turning pink so wrapped the pack in kitchen paper towel and placed in microwave full power for 10 minutes. At 1000 watt power the Microwave steamed up after 5 minutes. I continued with the Microwave until 10 minutes. Best to use oven gloves when removing pack from Microwave because it is HOT. The kitchen roll tissue was soggy moist and when pack had cooled down it still felt moist to touch, so I repeated the drying process in Microwave for further 10 minutes of drying. After this second drying process the kitchen roll was a little damp and the pack felt slightly damp when allowed to cool. So I agree with some reviews that these packs need a longer time to be dried out in Microwave. But with regard to the dampnest and humidity in vehicles or where applied these packs really do the job in preventing dampness and humidity. After drying out I returned this pack to my car and a week later after having weighed the pack I found it had absorbed 1/2 pint of water so it does what it says on the pack and keeps the humidity out of my car.

Does exactly what its supposed to do. It does take a while before you have to stick in the microwave to dry it out. Only time will tell on how many uses you can get out the bag before it stops working. Would definitely buy again, sorted out all the moisture within my car.

These are 1kg bags (x2) They will last approx. 1 week in high humidity before they are saturated (blue spot turns pink) The saturated weight will be approx. 1.32kg (that is 32% not the stated 40% - they are also not the higher quality round silicate beads, they are rough and not uniform in shape) The microwave instruction to place for 12mins in 600w (or 80% power in a 850w for example) is completely inacurate and very misleading. You will need to microwave each bag for 4 to 5 times 12 mins each (40-50 mins total, each), and mop out the inside of the microwave and replace the paper towel wrap before the weight gets anywhere close back to the unsaturated weight of 1kg. These are however, a good product, and work well. Tip: make sure the blue/purple spot is always facing upward in the microwave. If on the underside it will get damaged by the extreamly hot liquid that will collect on the underside of the bag.

If you know much about condensation and humidity, like me you would probably be sceptical about these. I bought the 1kg pack and put it on the van dash over night. So this is in my camper and I stayed overnight. In the morning the windscreen was saturated and more so in the side where these were. So I’m not saying they are not working? But understanding condensation, If there is a huge cold area, ie the windscreen, it will massively attract the moisture in the air, so much more than these bags. They work on the principle of adsorption, not absorption, like so many people think. They are not a quick fix and will no way clear your windscreen overnight. They just cannot keep up with the condensing power of a large area of cold glass. I have no doubt they will take on moisture, but will they solve any problem, Any vehicle is open to atmosphere via the ventilation system, clue in the name, so what moisture are you actually collecting? I think they are more a longer term solution not short term because, they do not attract the moisture, they probably reduce it in their immediate area and that is replaced by air movement. I think the marketing ploy is the colour changing disc, which can be the case with any silica gel container. I remain sceptical, because they cannot attract condensation by normal means, ie cold surface, like a dehumidifier does. Long term wise in a car they will take on moisture, but I cannot be convinced they take away inherent wet windows?

I am impressed with these. My car often had condensation on the windows and glass roof in the colder mornings. A pain when you have to sit and wait for it to warm up with the blower on full, and it was wasting fuel. These work really well. I place one on the dashboard and one on the centre console between the front seats. They really do work. A blast in the microwave wrapped in paper kitchen roll dries the moisture out, and they are ready to go back into the car. The colour indicator does work. I have previously tried cheaper versions, but they werent very effective. The Hillington Car Dehumidifer does the job very well, and saves wasting time warming the car up to clear the windows. Money well spent.

Great product. Have used several times in multiple cars. This products works well at reducing moisture build up in the car. I love the fact I can put it in the microwave and reuse as well. Great value for money and the colour changing indicator helps me to see when it needs recharging.

Excellent product, I have been very frustrated over the years with the condensation on my front screen, it takes so long to clear. The first day I received this input it straight in the car and it had the windscreen cleared within 10 mins … I now leave it in overnight and the window is always clear. It’s much bigger than I realised - I was expecting something about the size of my palm but it much bigger than that. It probably says that in the spec I just hadn’t noticed.
