I have had one for over a month now and can tell you it's a load of junk, put one behind the curtains to take care of the overnight moisture on the window and it can't even do that in such a small space (1 cubic meter at most).
Sure it collects water but nothing like it needs to make any difference, my electric one can collect in half an hour what this collects in 24hours.
I agree with some of the comments above - if you have a damp problem you need an electric dehumidifier (circa £100) which has the ability to absorb many litres of water a week - if there is that much moisture in the environment. You will also get a bit of free heating into the bargain. One downside is they are slightly noisy, a bit like a fridge.
You also need to address where the moisture is coming from - eg. cooking, drying washing indoors, inadequate ventilation to bathroom etc.
I have one of these Unibond portable devices for a car we have in storage and it keeps that nice & dry.

I don't have the link online I get them from the original factory shop in my local town.. I think b and m and home bargains do them also...

Good for large food storage cupboards I'd imagine but terrible for household use in the UK. 1 litre a month sounds like the awful DeLonghi dehumidifier I was using while my Meaco was being repaired. The DeLonghi managed 2 litres in a week, the Meaco extracted that in a few hours (old house, wife talks a great deal)

If you have a damp problem you need a builder/structural engineer and a cleaner
If you have a humidity problem you need an electric dehumidifier, or open the window
If you have a small area/storage area problem, you need this
It does work, but it is awfully slow, quite and expensive. I have one and does the job perfectly near one of my windows and looks ok too

That make sense.
I was wonder what is was for.
Although I have not tried it, I suppose it may work in a self-contained small storage area or cabinet. Even a room would be too big for it to make a difference.
You just have to be careful with the blue water if you have children or cleaner. I got one leaking from the bottom, and socked into my stone fireplace. I had to use bleach to get rid of the blue colour. And the towel I used to clean, I cannot get it completely clean back to white too and had to be thrown away.

"Sure it collects water but nothing like it needs to make any difference"
That is exactly what I meant. 1 tab to collect 1 tank water over 1 month. That is ridiculous. People just do not know how much water need to be collected to make a difference.
My house is not even dump. I do not use my electrical one when it is not raining, it is already 45%.
When it is raining, I can collect 2L per day or half day to keep at 50%.
In a not wet place, you do not need them. In a wet place, they will not make a difference and they are too costly. Buying them is a mistake! It is only the blue water in the tank which convince people that they are making a difference.
The fact is they do not make a difference! Not at that kind speed!
1 tab for £2.5 to collect 1L of water. That is sooooo pricey!

These are constantly "on sale" at Robert Dyas for £9.99 each ..... here
I've got a couple, they're collecting an awful lot of moisture but I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing to be honest!

Have one of these in our room. They do collect water as they do fill up. I don't think for a room these will do much. Probably good for a car if you can secure it properly or a wardrobe / small space.

Using one in my front room and have to say it seems to be working although it's going through the tablets alot quicker than advertised.
Also at some of the comments these aren't designed to be used in really damp places clearly a powered dehumidifier is going to be better

I have 14 empty ones in my bathroom, not used anymore. (1 broken because bottom leak and made a mess in my living room, be careful with the blue water, they are difficult to get rid of)
Anyone want can collect for free from me? PM me.
I have to point out, the tabs are quite expensive to use. Running costs will be high.

If you have real damp issues these are never going to sort it. A proper dehudmifier can extract 8lt in one day. These things would take an age to extract that much. These were a complete waste of money for me.

I agree with you. They are a total waste of money, and they are actually costly too. Each tab cost £2.5, only to absorb so little water at such a slow rate.
They really not going to help your humidity much.
People think about buying it should get a hugrometer to measure its effect rather than be fooled by it.

No. each tab does not last 3 months. 3 months is a over estimate.
Mine last one month each tab.
If you read reviews on amazon, many people pointed out the same in their reviews.
My house is not even dump. When it is not raining outside, it is about 45%. When it is raining outside, it is about 60%.
I used to use all 15 at the same time. I used to change all 15 once a month, which means even the ones in the dry places, such as, game room and living room only last one month. Those in bath room do not even last 1 month.
Now, I use electrical one only when it is raining outside, to get it down from 60% to 50%. On power saving mode, it absorb 2L per day, or half day (depend on how wet is the day).
That is result. Those tanks will never have that kind results.

Personal experience + hygrometer measurements.
That is good enough for me.
You think it works. Did you actually get any measurements?
Just the little blue water in the tank over a whole month is too small quantity to make any difference to the humidity in your room.

you can buy tubs for £1 that do the very same job I put them in my caravan and they fill with water alot...

That sounds cool. Are they as big as this tabs?(450 grams), which lasts for 3 months? could you tell me the link please?

I appreciate your comment. Is your comment based on simple assumption/personal experience/scientific evidence? Keen to know if there is any scientific evidence.

I bought 15 last year to use.
I found their running cost is very high. You can only see the tank gradually fill up with blue water over one month. And think they must be doing a good job. At that kind absortion rate, it is not going to be useful. To me, it is a con.
I do not feel humidity any difference with or without them.
You would be much better off to buy an electronic dehumidifier to give you some really effects. You have to fact in the electricity consumption though.

Anyone say it is great. Do you actually use hygrometer to monitor its effect.
There is something does not add up.
Suppose one tab works for one month, absorb a full tank of water, that is only around 1L.
Absorbtion rate of 1L per month per room. To me, that is really bad, should not have any really effect.
Anybody care to share why they are great?

Good deal. These are great. Although they are currently on offer in B&Q at 2 for £15 (if like me online shopping is a hassle because I'm never home when parcels get delivered - woe is me).

Note that the standalone comes with 1 cartridge, as the site is quite ambiguous in places.
Got 4 of them, all doing fine and seem to be working

Apparently they are good for dampness, mould, cooking odour/condensation, blistering paint, corrosion etc..!! Comments are welcome. I do not have any long term experience.

I bought one from ASDA last week for £10 and it started producing water in the tank. Looks like its working.
