The Exploding Pingi Dehumidifier and its Replacement

Back in November 2021 I purchased a Pingi LV-A300 car dehumidifier to keep the inside of the windscreen of my LEAF clear on wet mornings. The little bag did a great job and dried out well when microwaved, however, after a few months a hole developed in the bag whilst in the microwave oven.
I was able to sew the hole in the bag up and stop the contents escaping. Last week I was drying the LV-A300 in the microwave once again when it suffered a catastrophic failure!!
I decided not to purchase another Pingi LV-A300 and replaced it with an Eco Ventis Dry Now that I picked up in Tesco for £5.30 (Tesco club card offer). I am curious as to how this new dehumidifier will last. Hopefully longer than the Pingi LV-A300!!

I mean, the first time you put it in there the indicator was still blue which means it didn't have enough moisture in it yet...then you complain that it burned...

[@Traderjoe]

I would dump the beads into a sock and tie a knot in it to hold the beads in. Test the sock in the microwave for a few times, as some material might not microwave as well as others

[@357magdad]

You popped your Pingi! 🤯

[@Traderjoe]

The ones I have are designed for being dried out in the sun. So I leave it on my dash and it absorbs moisture and odors and dries itself as it sits in the sunshine. I’ve been quite happy with them. I think they are charcoal and something else. Maybe silica gel beads like yours.

[@vBDKv]

It's rather limited with sunshine during winter times, which this is designed for.

Was you microwave at 600w? I had the same issue until I realised my microwave was too high. I couldn't change the microwave setting do just reduced the time

[@chodkowski01]

My microwave has a power level so I set mine to level 5.

[@jazjac17]

How is the thing holding up after 9 months?

[@Stevespecs]

After owning 4 Nissans, all of which somehow build up moisture inside, and my other car brands don’t, I am convinced it’s a design flaw on all Nissan cars. Just my 2 cents

[@mimplays_ttv]

Update?

[@dianahage]

This only can happen if your microwave is not clean and has greese on it and when you don not do it like the manual says, i have been using them for years and never had this problems. buy the way your replacement is a copy of the pingi version, they invented this.

[@NashRathbone]

Thanks for watching 👍 I always wrap the bags in tissue before microwaving so they are not in direct contact.
