5.0 out of 5 stars Hands Down the Best Small Sized Silica Solution Available!!, September 8, 2010

This review is from: 40 Gram Silica Gel (Misc.)

I have been using these silica containers for well over 7 years now and they are outstanding, simply outstanding. The best thing about these containers is they are reusable. As soon as they get saturated with moisture you simply pop them in the oven and abra-cadabra they are ready to be used again and you can continue to reuse them as many times as you want. There is no limit on the number of times they can be reused. I actually own around 45-50 of these in a bunch of misc sizes. I am an architectural photographer and I keep one in each of my photography cases and lighting cases. I also use them in the storage cabinets that I keep my negatives and prints in as well as in my safe, where I keep my very best negatives. I also use them in the pelican cases that I use to store my hard drives. In other words I have these things all over the place protecting all of my sensitive electronics and photographic materials.

I actually have an electronic device that measures the humidity in the air and I did extensive testing with these containers back when I was first looking into various humidity control solutions and these devices performed flawlessly regardless of where I used them. As long as you use the proper size silica container for the area your looking to dehumidify, you will no longer have anything to worry about in regards to humidity. Just make sure you check the saturation level regularly and you will be good to go.

The bottom line - The bad news is that humidity can really wreak havoc on certain items especially over the long term. The good news is that humidity can be easily controlled with very little effort and very little money. There are actually a lot of options out there for controlling humidity and most of them will do a fairly good job at doing just that. With that being said these silica containers are easily one of the best options on the market and they are very affordable. Again I have been using them for well over 7 years now and I have absolutely zero complaints. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and in all honesty, What more can you really ask for?

5 Stars!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Silica Gel - Good Value, January 16, 2006

This review is from: 40 Gram Silica Gel (Misc.)

This item is a good value and comes packaged in a convienent container. The beads can be reactivated by simply following the manufacturer's instructions and baking in an oven. the 40 gram package is nice sized for small spaces/drawers, however larger spaces may require more than one. Overall, this item is a nice value for those that do not want to buy the silica gel in a bulk package and deal with making your own container(s). I would recommend for anyone keeping tools or other collectables where moisture is not wanted.

This review is from: 40 Gram Silica Gel (Misc.)

I live at 1600M above sea level and every other week go down to the beach.
This was proving to be too much for my cameras to take.
Moisture and condensation was driving me crazy.... Not any more.
I dropped one of these silica canisters in my camera back pack and no longer worry about moisture inside...
"Foggy optics" was dramatically reduced.

Highly recomended...
