DampRid Moisture Absorber Drop-In Tablet Refill Pack, Fresh Scent, 15.8 oz., 4 Pack, Attract and Trap Excess Moisture and Eliminate Musty Odors for Cleaner, Fresher Air

This product works great! Removes dampness and odors in all areas, while providing a fresh clean scent. One caution! Be careful in disposing of the water captured in the container. It isn't toxic, but it has a sticky residue that is difficult to clean up. Accidentally spilled the collected water on some carpet in my basement. Took several cleanings to remove the sticky residue. I'll still be a user of DampRid, but I'll be much more careful in the future.

I've purchased this type dehumidifier before and will continue to do so. It proved superior over other non-electric products, especially those with bigger holes/wider openings where creatures may enter. While it doesn't remove as much moisture as my electric models, it does the job efficiently, effectively and quietly in the areas where I can't place a corded model. A plus is that the collected water level is seen more clearly than in the electric versions. I was only going to purchase replacement tablets. When tablets alone were not available, I decided to order another full set. I'm so glad I did. Prevention of mold and poor air quality are year around challenges. Now I can service two more areas. And, with tablets to spare for future use, I should be able to keep my home drier for some time in the future using these compact units.

Worked amazingM I could not believe how much moisture it pulled out from the house we just moved into, woked just as well as the damp rid bags.

I keep my dirty laundry in a tote in my clothes closet, as well as my shoes. It's hot and humid in summer in Chicago, and it was like a boy's locker room in there. I was also afraid my clean clothes were picking up the smell. I bought this thing, and it really handled it, and pretty quickly. I was unable to get the unscented, so there is a chemical smell, but it stays in my closet, and is not heavy, and it is better than the damp stank that was in there before. I bought the refills in unscented, so I hope those work as well as these. The container for the tablet is kind of big, like a football, but not too big for my deep-but-narrow closet, and it works very well for that size of a space.

Midwestern humidity! I bought this product for the closets, and it really works well.. Another reviewer left a great, detailed review about the set-up and what to expect when using this product, so I won’t repeat it here, but I noticed other customers mentioned having problems with spillage—which can easily happen if the container is in an awkward spot. The lid just rests on the top, and even though the tablet holder/drainage section snaps into place, if the lid comes off when handling it, it’s easy to have the whole thing slip and dump the collected moisture (now mixed with the tablet gook) all over the place. The gunk is pretty much impossible to clean up properly. If it dumps out on carpet, shampooing the carpet is the only way to get it cleaned up. It holds a LOT of moisture so you don’t want it to dump out.To get around this, I bought some of those clear plastic pantry/fridge organizer bins with the built in handles (available on Amazon), and place each damp rid unit into a bin. This prevents the units from being bumped and tipping over in the closet, and makes it easy to handle the units when it’s time to pull them out of the closet to dump the collected moisture. I use a 9”L x 5”W x 4”H bin (which narrows to 8.4 L x 4.3W at the bottom), and the damp rid unit sits in there perfectly. Makes it so easy to carry the unit to where you can dump the moisture! Pour slowly at first—the shape and length of the dumping tube makes the stuff shoot out a little further than you expect. As one reviewer mentioned, wait until the tablet is completely used up before replacing it. The tablet turns into a gloppy goo as it does its work, so it’s messy to deal with until it’s used up. I really prefer this system to the loose granules or the packets which left crystallized chunks clinging to the container that would pop out after the liquid was dumped, and get everywhere. I really like how much easier and cleaner it is to dump out the liquid and replace the tablet, and how much dampness it collects before needing to replace the tablet.

It's either very hot or very rainy this summer. I have a window fan screen in my bedroom window & the past days it smells damp in there. I got damp rid because it works. I thought the plastic container would be durable to hold moisture. I put tablet in and lid didn't shut. It's been there 24 hours I see no difference. I finally last evening made lid shut almost all the way. Tiny gap. Will keep checking for moisture and says make rm smell good. Not giving off any pleasant/not smell at all. Damp smell isn't as strong because hasn't rained 2 days. Ground drying outsideWill update later if better results.Edit: couple days it's starting to work as it should. Quality is cheap plastic won't stay together. Same item at Walmart $8 cheaper. Just glad it's taking dampness out. Will get bag next time. Don't reccomend this item but rid damp does work.

Works well in my walk in closet
