This clever gadget is 'brilliant' at stopping condensation on car windows
Escape the nuisance of clouded, unclear windows.
If you have an older car, you will know that having a clear windshield in the winter is quite a struggle. Blasting the heating will only do so much, as will trying to quickly wipe your windscreen that has misted up at traffic lights. A gadget you may want to try this year is the Pingi Car and Home Dehumidifier, which over 5,000 people have purchased in the past month alone.

🛒 Reasons to buy: Helps reduce condensation in your car and has over 15,000 five-star reviews
So long hard-to-see windscreens, as this handy dehumidifier absorbs and stores any excess moisture from the air, leading you with clear windows.
Just how effective is it? Well, this little nifty item has over 15,000 five-star reviews which is no easy feat, with shoppers saying the affordable item has "completely solved" their misty window problem.
Why we rate it
The compact dehumidifier bag absorbs moisture, condensation, dampness and odours (so is also great for anyone with pets), and is reusable, so can be used time and time again.
The car dehumidifier contains silica, which helps eliminate condensation from the air. It effectively absorbs the moisture and fills the dehumidifier up with the unwanted water. The moisture absorber is also leak proof, meaning you will never have to contend with leakage.
You'll see the humidity indicator (the circle in the middle of the bag) will slowly change from blue to pink as you use it. Once the indicator has changed to pink that means that it has reached absorption capacity and must be put in the microwave to be reset and dry out.
Simply pop it in the microwave for six minutes to "recharge" (or some shoppers say they leave it on a radiator). Once the little dot is back to blue again, you're good to use the dehumidifer all over again.
What the reviews say
With over 27,000 reviews (76% of which are five and four-stars), it's clear that thousands of drivers are pretty sold on this little gadget.
Many shoppers couldn't believe how effective the "clever" little bag was, saying they will now "always have one" in their car.
One shopper explained that she had been having real problems with condensation in her car, and even when she wiped the window it still took around 10 minutes to clear, plus, on cold days the condensation turned to ice and was even more difficult to manage.
She bought the dehumidifier as a last resort and has been completely "surprised" by how well it has worked. Not only has it saved her time, it has also saved her "stress" when getting in her car on a chilly morning.
While most are positive reviews, some customers have said that the dehumidifier hasn't cleared as much of the windscreen as they would have liked, but do say that the gadget is "better than nothing".
If you have a larger car, you may need two bags, one for each side of the windscreen to see more effective results.
If you have a larger car, you may want two of the bags for each side of your windscreen.
These dehumidifier bags work in the same way, but this duo pack also comes with anti-slip mats, so they won't be sliding all over the place while you're driving.
You can buy a two-pack of the Pingi bags, or we've also found these Hillington Reusable Car Interior Dehumidifier duo pack, which works in the same way and includes anti-slip dashboard pads, so the bags don't slip and slide around while you're driving.
