I have used DAMP RID products for years in a house near the beach that would have a film of mold growing up shoes and clothes in closets. Several pieces of furniture had to be trashed before I finally found this product.

I started with the containers that you have to pour the pellets into and they worked well. Then I graduated to the ones that you can hang on the closet rod and loved them.

But when they came out with the larger room containers that can sit on a shelf or floor, I became hooked. I have about a dozen through out our house, tucked into corners of rooms and closets. The paper refill pack makes the chore much easier to do. The container itself is shaped so that you can grasp it and empty the liquid out of it fairly easily. The refill fits in and the lid locks over it. I mark the paper refill with the date I change it and can gauge how soon it will be before the next change in that location.

I am disappointed to not be able to find the 21-ounce refill bags anymore but I will make do with using two as the company suggests.

Damp Rid really works, been a fan for years and have turned many people on to its uses. Knocked off a star because, even with free shipping, this product is a couple dollars less (than current $9.50 Amazon price) at Home Depot, etc. I'd only buy it here if you're housebound or don't have hardware type stores in the nearby vicinity.

The moisture absorbing material is pretty good, after it absorbs water it dissapears and you have a bag with some brown stuff in it. almost like a fungus, but it doesn't smell. toss the bag and thats it. It works well for enclosed, smaller areas.

We got the DampRid about few months ago to put in our master bedroom walk-in closet, which is connected to our bathroom (though separated by a door) and the absorbing unit was almost full of water after 3 to 4 months of use with the original absorbing pouch. I would never have thought that there would be that much moisture in a walk-in closet - and we keep the door closed all the time too (and live in a place that's dry in the summer months). So I'm glad we got the DampRid.

After dumping out the water, I left the original pouch in the unit. It still absorbed moisture, but at a much slower rate than before. So I got the refill packs and it definitely helped absorb more moisture compared to the 3-4 month old pouch.

I do think the 4-pack refill was slightly cheaper at Bed, Bath, and Beyond if you have one of their 20% off coupon. But there's no sales tax on Amazon where I'm from. It's definitely worth it though.

This product works without electricity to pull excess moisture from damp air. I left my A/C off for two weeks while on vacation and the damp rid alone kept the apartment fresh in the deep south, and the containers were nearly full of the water the packets had sucked out of the air! Buy it online for the best price. If you worry about dampness and mildew, just get it.

It works good for me. I'm trying to remove some of this unwanted moisture in my room. So far so good.

It's DampRid, what can I say? Growing up in the desert I never had a need for this, but now living in Florida, it's an essential for any home.

This is one the best things brought to the consumerism. i live in San Francisco where it is very humid so mold is a big issue. I have used this and the closet version and it has saved us from using bleach to clean the walls every month. The only hassle is to discard and clean the container that it goes in.

I bought this as my first refill after mistakenly opening the package that came with my Damprid FG91 container. I thought you ripped the packet open and poured the desicant in like you do with the damprid buckets.

Once I placed this packet in, it was only a few days before the water level was noticeable. It filled up fairly quickly, which is a good thing.

However, it's winter now, so the humidity is down and I cannot report on how well this product performs in high humidity yet.

For example, the meter says 31% humidity now, but It's been up in the 80% range in the summer . I'd like to see how this packet performs then...when I really need it.

Yes you need these for your dehumidifier...but they work great. We only use 1 a year during the times we have our Komfort Trailer in storage. So well worth the money to help keep the damp moisture and smells out of our unit.
