I’ve had mine for the past year and I couldn’t be happier! Very effective and easy to use, silica beads take only about an hour to dry and you’re good to go! There was no way I was going to haul my 400 lbs safe upstairs, so it’s in my basement where it can get pretty humid. When I travel I leave one behind in my safe and take the other with me. I got a great deal on Amazon: 2 for $40!
I am literally thrilled you did this video. I have been meaning to get dehumidifiers for my safes (multiple) and like you said, I don't want to plug anything in. These are ideal for my use. I have old milsurps that I might forget to clean after shooting, this will at least give me a fighting chance to get to cleaning them after a few weeks and not rust out the barrels AS FAST. Thank you for reminding me. I ordered the double before I even finished watching the whole video.
Very similar to Eva Dry sold at Home Depot. The plug is built in to the product to dry out the silica. Cost is only $19 to 29.99. I have multiple units. I live in SWFL. Humidity control is very important.
I’ve been looking at dehumidifiers and I think this is the one! Definitely not wrong about living in Florida and having enough humidity to feel like 16 Siberian husky constantly breathing in your face. Your channel is so helpful through and through and it’s helped me out several times as a recent gun owner. Keep the videos coming!! 🤙🏼
I like the advice there's guns for the grandson in the back I have not had out for a long time even my grandpa's but the humidity device just got cleaned but tomorrow the guns are getting looked at .have a nice night 👍
This looks much better than my liberty safe dehumidifier. I dont have a liberty safe but I figured I'd try it. Same concept with the orange beads but this seems like a better design.
I just ordered the twin pack. Great review and I agree, I didn’t want to basically add a heater to an enclosed space Liberty 42 gun Revere in South Carolina
Just bought the triple one for $97 through your link. Looks way better than the EvaDry that I've used in the past. Glad to support you, keep up the good work.
@@FireStalker46 So far so good. I just recharge them when I notice the orange pellets turning dark (which is not that often, but more often in the winter).
@@mike34744 because the main ingredient is calcium chloride, a salt that is corrosive to steel. Damprid isn't really a desiccant, and once it is saturated what you're left with is basically a tub of corrosive salt water in your safe.
Get a dehumidifier that's big enough for your basement. Use that in the room your safe is in in conjunction with a heat rod and you'll be in good shape. If you live in a dry area you don't need to do all this.
If you don't have a water tight safe which most aren't, it's a waste. Any of the bead types dehumidifiers won't do anything because it just draws moisture in the safe. Very few safes have a door gasket now. They just have the heat expanding tape, which is nowhere near a tight seal.
I use 4 large silica gel packs in my safe and my House in Kentucky stays humid inside. I seal the door of the safe with gorilla tape and after opening 6 months to a year later the gel pack indicators are always still blue (below 30%). Very simple fix to what you are talking about and I've been doing it for years. costs nothing to take the tape off and replace it with new whenever I want to open my safe to go deer hunting or plinking.
@@Starbuckin That's works to. But I open my safe daily and I'm not a fan of tape on a $3k safe. I just buy water rated safes. I have a 3/4 gallon container of beads that stay good almost a year before I have to bake them. Several of the brands made by Sports Afield have water tight safes and some are reasonably priced
How long did it take before you started to notice it working? Only ask because I bought this device and so far have not noticed a change after 4hrs. I have it in a gun safe that has a built in humidity detection.
Do you think dehumidifiers are necessary in drier climates? It’s pretty dry in the Denver area, & I was told that I didn’t need to use one by the guy who sold me my safe.
Im fixxing to by my first safe …im didnt know about having to have a dehumidifier to keep my guns safe…will it hurt if i put 2 of them…i just dont want my guns to get rusty…the safes is not really big its a 26 guns gun safe..thanks
The inside of my safe is 67% humidity without anything in it because it’s in the basement I bought the two pack How often should I check to see if they’re green
@@FireStalker46 I got it down now, it was 31% humidity way too low so I keep it about 45 and I recharge the filters every three weeks 21 to 24 days thanks

I’ve had mine for the past year, and I definitely recommend it! It sits in my safe in the basement and does a fantastic job of keeping it nice and dry. Even when the basement is at a 70% humidity my safe stays around 50% or better.
@@bluesteeltraining Thanks so much man! I went ahead and ordered it snd have been using for a few days now. I am wondering if its ok to leave the second one constantly charging while the other is in my safe.

Just found the double for 50. Thanks for this review. It makes 100 percent for me. Appreciate you. Just got it today. Hoping it just does its job lol
Ya, I like the $1 buckets at the dollar stores, they work great and absorb A LOT of moisture that I had no idea was in my room!
Don’t spill one. Nightmare!

How do you like them Now that you've had a few months?
@@FireStalker46 So far so good. I just recharge them when I notice the orange pellets turning dark (which is not that often, but more often in the winter).
I am going to order this now. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the heads up. They are 15% off today. Ordered one!!!!
in TN i use a golden Rod and it seems to work fine
Bought 2 doubles thanks bro 👍
Looks great, thanks William
Just ordered mine. Thanks for the video!
I use damp rid... get 3 for 10... they work great
Sounds like a better option ! I just have to find some ! It’s hard to find ! 👍🏻
Damp rid is bad for safes
@@Krysis219 why is it bad? I use it and curious.
@@mike34744 because the main ingredient is calcium chloride, a salt that is corrosive to steel. Damprid isn't really a desiccant, and once it is saturated what you're left with is basically a tub of corrosive salt water in your safe.
Used damp rid and I found so much rust! I use this one now
Def gonna try that and buy one today

I’ll check it out… I have the rechargeable box you mentioned. I was thinking to upgrade. That would be perfect
I'm getting really sick of all these people selling bunch of crap that you don't need
I'll definitely get the two-pack but wish they had a four!!!!
Thanks man!
Great video ordered 2
I have one of these, there great!
I need this i live in West Virginia and the humidity is about like Florida. Summer time 95%+ and winter 50%+ it sucks big time
I hear that construction chalk works great, just put one chalk stick, (they're like 4" long by 3/4" thick) on each shelf, or 3 or 4 in bottom of safe.
I use vcd (vapor corrosion inhibiting) devices like Zerust vapor capsules.. No problem with corrosion. Humidity is only 40 or 50% here.
I just keep a couple Damp Rids in there. has worked fine for years
You said it doesn't take very long to recharge. Does that mean an hour, day, year?
Directions say 2 hours to recharge.
Monsoons? I'm in reno wishing for some rain
Damp Rid is awesome, and cheaper.
is there a latch that I can hang off the hooks that I have underneith the shelves?

can you get extra elements or do you have to buy multiple double units with the base?
It’s been a year now from this video. Is that product still working up to par?
They sell silica packs for like 5 dollars kings…
What do u think of secure it gun safes
I think you mean 52 cu ft not sq ft?

It really depends on the location of your safe, and the climate you live at. Buy a small humidistat (
Where's the link?

Should probably check about every 10 minutes to make sure it's not too dry!

Anyone still using this? Anyone still recommend this?

Literally just ordered the twin pack today off Amazon I have a 64 gun safe im sure it'll work great.
Is it 52 square feet or cubic feet?
Square. Look at 7:30

It's not easy being green.
Does it keep the humidity under 50?
"this product does not meet California clean air regulations and cannot be shipped to California"
If you dry your gels in the same room as your safe aren't you adding the moisture right back to the air? 🤔🤣
Just ordered 2.
Second lol
Dump the beads and you got a can. Jk! JK...
