Works as advertised. The beads are blue when dry and pink when they have fully absorbed water. It took a few months for the beads to turn fully pink in my ~15 ft^3 keezer. I just plugged it in over night and in the morning it was completely dry again. There would still be drops of water clinging to the sides of the keezer with this in though, but I do open the lid a lot. It may be a bit too small for a keezer of this size so two may be necessary. I plan on installing a fan inside the keezer to keep air moving and had the idea to have blow on the dehumidifier which should greatly increase its absorbing rate. It's great to not have to keep buying damp rid or the equivalent chemical all the time. I'm happy with this purchase.

Below is the manufacturer's description.

This high capacity renewable dehumidifier has been designed to adsorb moisture from small, enclosed areas. It will help protect clothes and valuables from the damaging effects of mold/mildew and moisture rot. It is 100% renewable and needs no power to operate. Just hang the Eva-dry unit in a closet, or you can place it in other small, enclosed spaces, and it will start to adsorb moisture. There are no batteries required or cords to plug in, the unit works without power. There is an indicator window with special "moisture meter crystals" that change from blue (when dry) to pink (when wet) to indicate when the unit needs to be "renewed". The unit will adsorb approximately 8-10 ounces of moisture (depending on humidity levels this should take between 6 - 8 weeks). Once the moisture has been adsorbed it cannot leak or spill. This unit uses a specialized, engineered, crystallized silica gel that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe. When the indicator crystals turn pink it is time to "re-new" the unit. Simply remove the unit from where it is adsorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet or power strip in a well ventilated area (bathroom with extraction fan, garage, outside, etc.). There is a built-in heater that will warm the crystals allowing them to expand and release the moisture as water vapor into the outside air. It takes about 12-14 hours to completely re-new the unit. When it is completely renewed the indicator crystals will change back to blue. The unit is brand new again and ready to adsorb another 8-10 ounces of moisture.The crystals will remain active for 10 years and we offer a 5 year limited manufactures warranty on all EDV500 units.

Pros: While it is working, you can take it anywhere, it does not work by electricity, but instead a chemical reaction.
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: We had one of these models delivered to the office for 360 product photography. After we were done, we started using it in our photo bag to keep the lens dry. It works great, from time to time it does need to be plugged in to refresh, but that is not to much to ask for.
