Firearms Only Have Two Enemies, Politicians and Rust
While the Eva-Dry Model 500 Dehumidifier can't do anything about politicians, it can help protect your firearms and other valuables from rust, mold, mildew, and moisture. The Model 500 is perfect for small spaces up to 500 cubic feet such as gym bags, cupboards, small safes, or closets. When the Eva-Dray indicator beads change color you will know it is time to "recharge" the unit. Just plug it in to an electric outlet and 12-14 hours later it will be ready to protect your valuables again. The Model 500 can absorb 6-8 ounces of moisture from the air over a 30-60 day period. The non-toxic crystallized silica gel can be renewed for up to ten years.Eva-Dry Model 500 Specifications and Features

I purchased this a while
I purchased this a while ago and have not been disappointed yet. It is effective and easy to recharge. I live on the gulf coast of Florida and I recharge it once a month. It has an indicator window that is blue when fully charged, purple when about 50% charged, and pink when it needs to be recharged. It just plugs into and electrical socket and when the window turns blue, you're good to go again. I've not timed the recharge yet, but 6 hours was the longest I've left it plugged in. Comes with a hook if you wish to hang it, also has a flat base to sit on shelves.

Dudes! This thing is pret
Dudes! This thing is pretty awesome! But it's pretty big. It still fits in my safe, but did I say it was big? As always, CTD had it here in no time flat. UPDATE: Now that I've had this thing for a few months, I like this larger one better than the smaller one. Why? When I take it out of the safe and plug it in for heating (drying out), this unit dries out faster and seems to collect more water than its smaller counterpart. You can see the moisture beading up a few hours after plugging it in and the beeds seem to go 'blue' better and faster than the smaller one. Just to clarify: you do not need to plug it in during use in the safe; just when you see it's time to re-dry the beeds inside.

I recived this dehumidifi
I recived this dehumidifier about a month ago and wanted to try it out before I posted any review. This thing really works great! I didnt think it would do much but for peace of mind, I bought it and gave it a try. I have a 10 gun stack-on safe in my walk in closet packed with firearms and ammo. After 4 weeks of this sitting in the safe the beads inside where not quite (full) but almost fully pink. So today i decided to plug'er in and see what happens. After an hour i checked on it and the window to view the beads was completly covered in condensation! I held my hand over the top of it for a second and could feel the moisure coming off of it! It kept all this water of my firearms! Definatly ordering another one, mabye two! And a goldenrod.

I got three of these for
I got three of these for the safe, low level, medium and high. (Yeah, overkill i guess.) But these really dry out a safe. The two I got in November took almost all the moisture out of my safe, I bought a third for the top 'pistol' shelf to keep everything nice and dry. 5 bullets.

This thing is great for rust prevention in a larger gun safe. Once the pellets go from blue to pink then it's time to plug it in, charge it up and put it back in and you're good to go. Plus there's a guide on there to tell you when it's time to recharge it.

Coastal area is where I l
Coastal area is where I live. The humidity alway 70+ and very foggy most of the time during day and night. I used to have (still have) some Remington brand with small package and I have to charge it every couple days. This one works great. I put four in one safe and it last for a month.

This Dehumidifier works l
This Dehumidifier works like it says it does. It's small and can fit into most places. I'm giving it 4 bullets because you still have to take time to recharge it.

Nice and easy, takes up v
Nice and easy, takes up very little room in my safe. When the viewer glass turns pink take it out plug it in, turns blue , put it back in the safe. If you have a larger stand-up type safe I would spend a few $$ more and get this larger model over the smaller one.
