    In the case of these granule based dehumidifiers, what is really important is just how much absorbent granules (calcium chloride) you are getting for your money, or what's the £ per kilo cost?

    Looking at the reviews, most recent reviews indicate each unit has 150g of what will be calcium chloride. So that's 18 x 150g = 2,700g or 2.70kg. At £14.82 delivered that equates to £5.49 per Kilo.

    THESE LARGER UNITS from Home Bargains in boxes of 12 (also instore individually), each have 2 x 500g packs of calcium chloride per unit. So that's 12 x 1,000g = 12,000g or 12.00kg. At £27.37 delivered that equates to £2.28 a Kilo.

    Based on my own personal experience, the Home Bargains work extremely well as the loose granules are well exposed to the air and thus extract moisture well, The small units however were I found useless with limited air to calcium chloride contact through a membrane.

    I found a LINK TO A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH DESIGNS side by side. The one in the video is identical to the Home Bargains one I have linked to and also often instore, albeit unfathomably typically twice the price.

    Last but not least, with the Home Bargains ones, you can just refill by buying big bags of calcium chloride. (edited)

    I’ve used the units from home bargains, you get 2x sachets of granules in one pack. Thought was a bargain, however when you assemble them and pour the granules in the receptacle, you lose quite a lot of the powdered smaller granules (the hey simply fall through the holder), then you have to somehow assemble/mate the two containers
    I’m no novice at doing all this stuff and I struggled so I’m afraid it’s a 👎 no from me, sorry folks.

    I bought a pack of 4 of the same kind of thing in Asda this afternoon for £4. I don't have much experience with them. Has anybody used them and had success with them?
    TristanDeCoonha's avatar
    Asda version works well enough.
    I bought the same pack. One use only.
    It looked like it was going to pull more moisture than it could hold, so I drilled a small hole in the side near the top, drained, then sealed over. Turned out to be correct

    Was looking at these but in reviews people are saying they are smaller than "normal" ones.
    ecuador's avatar
    You are right, the sizes quoted on the listing are what they used to send which is the normal size, but this lower price is now for the half size ones (right on the image)!
    Quite the deception!

    I use the refillable ones and buy the crystals to top up as required. Works out much cheaper and they work very well.

    We also use Meaco DD8L 8 Litre Desiccant Dehumidifier when necessary.

    That's helpful. Do you have link for refillable box/container (edited)

    These are great for wardrobes - keeping shoes, clothes, handbags and accessories free from mould and moisture if your wardrobe is next to a cold wall
  6. JamesFallon's avatar
    When one uses a dehumidifier for the first time, they will realise how useless these things are.
    CynicalNurse's avatar
    Plus how you are risking your health with block mould because it's marginally cheaper to get something disposable rather than something that will last years.

    Ours has made our Victorian cottage much more better. Air no longer feels damp, no more mould behind wardrobes or on window frames

    B&M 4 for £3.50 nice
    oliverreed's avatar
    Have found these to be next to useless, windows covered in condensation. I'd avoid if you expect these to deal with more moisture than you'd find in a breath.
  8. blaz's avatar
    Please reconsider buying an actual dehumidifier instead. Yes, these seem good value vs 150£+ dehumidifier, but it doesnt add up in the long run. Not to mention the extra plastic thats going to waste. The only use case could be for tiny closed off spaces that are hard to air out with a normal dehumidifier.

    Back of the napkin math:
    Each unit can absorb 500ml of moisture x 18 = 9L of moisture at best, for 15£.
    My electric dehumidifier is rated to pull the same amount in 24 hours!

    Can you recommend any good affordable brand/model ? Thanks
  9. NeverBagHolding's avatar
    These are really bad, I bought an actual dehumidifier and the amount of water I throw out every 1-2 days is crazy
    faceache's avatar
    True but sadly expensive to run, though not really compared to these passive items. Can get one that drains from pipe at bottom if you have a drain nearby where you can run it to. Old house has a stream running in basement if prolonged rain so our dehumidifier would overflow if it did not drain.
  10. JonoOfThrace's avatar
    Cheap upfront cost, but versus a proper dehumidifier and a window vacuum they are near-useless.

    Most houses generate at least a couple of litres of moisture a day.

    You can open windows to let it out - and have to pay to heat your house again - or just use a mains dehumidifier.
  11. MungoSplodge's avatar
    Best thing you can do with these is place all of them around the house, unseen... Wait 6 months then see if you can find them all again.
    Peter_BrownHmz's avatar
    I have been away for three months, and this is happening right now.
  12. Joey.Bloggsy's avatar
    Anybody else find these to be totally useless!
  13. fit.finlay's avatar
    get an electric one! heats the planet up ( no more shortages of tomotoes and avacodos due to cold weater ) win win

    Great deal! Thanks OP purchased

    Ordered, many thanks

    I wouldn't use these plastic pots for the home, and guarantee they would be useless in stopping condensation.
    I used the Asda versions, one in a cupboard with an external wall, and the other in a sealed vehicle stored on the drive.
    For those purposes they work well. But they will not cope with air with a heavy moisture content.
  17. deathwishdave's avatar
    Are these one use only?
    Baldricky's avatar
    Yep.
  18. Proveright's avatar
    Thanks OP. Sounds expensive to me. 50p each is the going rate. Some versions of the pound shop sell them.
    Brilliant for in the car and in the spare wheel well.
  19. atipakira's avatar
    Purchased these to help with the condensation on the windows… absolutely useless, grabs nothing. Also had an accident with the boiler pump, again they were empty. Avoid.
  20. Rich069's avatar
    Waste of money.... Just dont work.
  21. Mayank0905's avatar
    what is best to fix the carpet as I have a glass wall and its carpet is getting destroyed due to difference in temperature and glass windows are full of water every morning/. please suggest.
    BeerGoggles's avatar
    Get a proper dehumidifier for about £100. They can pull moisture from your washing they are so powerful but of course it costs electricity.
  22. Jonahea86's avatar
    Used loads of these before, but the last one overfilled and then burst. Nightmare
  23. Homer742's avatar
    These are very cheap for what they are, BUT I brought similar and frankly they were useless.

    After a week use they had removed a few drops of water each. Brought an electric dehumidifier which removed several litres in one day!!!!

    These maybe ok for inside a wardrobe for long term use, but for general use to stop condensation etc they are useless. Just buy a decent dehumidifier.
  24. Just_A_Guy's avatar
    Can anyone recommend a dehumidifier. I have really bad mould on the walls. Its a small room.
    Baldricky's avatar
    I purchased the Wood's MDK26 online from Costco which is currently on offer at £239.99 for the next few days. I really cannot fault it's performance or functions, plus it's a lot cheaper from Costco than anywhere else. It also comes with a 3Yr guarantee from the manufacturer.

    Might it be a good idea to poke a few holes in the close knit membrane to get better exposure to the granules? Just a thought. Anyone have any idea?
