The dehumidifier works well. I use it to protect my wide format plotter. This year didn't produce as much condensation as last but the rod was right there just in caseSeems like a quality rod, works well!Used in our travel trailer to remove the moisture during winter storage. It works!After reading the countless reviews, I think expectations surpassed the functionality of this item. While it works, it only reduces the humidity a percent or two. Then again, I purchased the 24" based on the recommended size for my safe, so perhaps I needed two rods (or the 48"). Either way, as described, it doesn't meet expectations.Had if for about two months, and it is doing its job. I have a humidity monitor in the safe and so far the Dri-rod is keeping it steady at about 50%. I live at the beach and right now the humidity is at 65% in my house.Using this in a closet. It works as advertised and is effective for its purpose. Gets hot but can still touch it without getting burned.Works great. My husband thinks it's a good product and likes the additional features it has compared to the smaller models. Would definately recommend this item.I am using this dehumidifier to protect electronic equipment used in my solar system and strongly recommend others who are building solar systems do the same.
