95902 Dehumidifier Canister,Black

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Hornady Dehumidifier Canister (model 95902), but I have to say it’s one of those rare products that just quietly does its job without any fuss.I bought it to protect my gun safe from moisture, especially living in a humid climate where rust can sneak up on you fast. The canister arrived ready to go no assembly, no setup headaches. Just pop it in and let it work.One thing I really like is the color changing crystals. They shift from blue to pink when it’s time to recharge, which is incredibly helpful and removes all the guesswork. You don’t have to “hope” it’s still working; you can actually see when it’s saturated.Recharging it is super easy just toss it in the oven for a couple of hours (follow the instructions; I think it’s around 300°F for 2 hours), let it cool, and it’s good as new. I’ve recharged it a couple of times now and it’s held up great. No mess, no smell, no weird leaks just dry air.Size-wise, it’s compact enough to fit in most safes or even small storage containers, but it still seems to cover a decent area. I’d say it’s ideal for a standard-sized safe. If you’ve got something much larger, you might need two.Bottom line: If you’re trying to keep moisture out of your safe, ammo cans, or other enclosed spaces, this little canister is a solid choice. It’s affordable, reusable, and does exactly what it promises. No batteries, no cords, no drama.Would definitely buy again.

It looks great. Badass actually. Its a good size a perfect square would probably be better but this is nice

Superb unit. I’ve tried just about everything on the market to lower the relative humidity in my safe. This Hornady canister dropped the RH from 58% to 53% virtually overnight. Construction of the case appears solid with lots of surface area to absorb moisture.,Highly recommended!

During winter and spring it lasted 4.5 months before needing to be recharged. During the summer months about every 4 weeks give or take a week depending how dry or rainy it has been.Besides that it keeps my safe around 50% humidity During the summer months.Happy with the purchase and recharging isn't too bad. Set it at 400* for 1 hour, remove with glove and shake the beads around and replace and repeat up to 4 times. Found taking it out every hour and shake the beads around helped to get all of thr beads to dry out and recharge better than just throwing it in for an extended time.* leave the plastic piece over the top hole. Didn't see any direction telling me to take it off but it appears like something you should take off. If you do all the beads will fall out if tipped over.

I like the fact its reusable after boiling the moisture out in an oven doesn’t require electricity. 👍

These reusable, silica-bead canisters work perfectly. I purchased two of them. Just put them in your safe, and as described, they'll continuously absorb moisture until saturated.When the cannisters are dry, the beads inside are blue. Over time, as they gradually absorb moisture & humidity, it's time to dry them out: Simply put them in a 300-degree oven for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, and bingo! - they come out blue again, ready to go back in your safe (or course, let them cool down before putting them back in your safe - 300 degrees is hotter than you think!). See "before & after" photos: prior to going in the oven (pink), and after they came out (blue).I live in a wet climate, and if you do too, it's important to check them regularly. Keeping them dry (i.e., blue) will ensure you're keeping moisture away from your valuables. These are a great alternative to buying an electric dehumidifier, which takes up space, requires a power source, and needs continuous emptying. If you don't want to go that route, these Hornady cannisters are all you need!Good luck & keep your safe dry!

just what I need for my safe

May change my rating after we try again. Our first unit worked great and lasted for several years. AT the point it wouldn't keep charged any more, we read further and realized they only last a few years anyway... We have tried charging this in the oven several times, and in the gun safe, the beads turned back pink over night. So maybe it's old...gonna try another unit. I'd prefer to try that than drill a hole in the unit to plug-in an electric powered one... Stay tuned.

After reading a few negative comments about the drying renewal process, I've looked at the product and you can easily remove the round plastic window and his metal ring with a flat screwdriver. Put the dryer on a cookie sheet (parchemin) and a plate to dissipate heat on the dryer. Finally, put the whole thing on the bottom grill of the oven and put it 3-4 hours at 300°F. It's easy to do and will save you from future problem with platic window. Wait the dryer to cool down before putting back the plastic window and metal ring. Great Product. Love it.

Came super quick ,undamaged. A box in a box 📦. A bit bigger than expected ,,Bonus .it did need a charge once it arrived. I just popped it in oven on low for 2hrs until the beads turned blue. Please remember to remove the pop out disc and window before placing in oven ,as this will prevent the window from melting .would recommend 5 *

Lorsqu'utilisé adéquatement lors du rechargement il n'y a vraiment aucun soucis. J'ai rechargé le mien après 3 mois d'utilisation simplement en retirant la petite vitre ainsi que l'anneau qui la retient (avec un tournevis plat ou un couteau à beurre) et déposé sur une plaque à biscuit sur la grille au point le plus bas dans le four. 300°F durant 5h pour être sur que toute l'humidité était évacuée. Les billes sont redevenues d'une belle couleur bleu marine.

Unit is a just light metal cage, but was boxed in protective factory packaging, inside a shipping box. Can was dinted on the top edge creasing the edge over and warping the entire top of the unit.packaging in marked??Not worth my time and effort to return it.
