Our practical test of the car dehumidifying cushion has shown that the manufacturer keeps its advertising promises in several areas. The effectiveness of the cushion in reducing moisture is very good. A significant amount of moisture was removed from the car, leading to a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate.
Another positive aspect is the low space requirement of the dehumidifying cushion. It hardly takes up any space in the vehicle and does not impair visibility or other functions.
The cushion can be used for around two to three weeks, after which it needs to be dried . The cushion is equipped with a practical indicator that turns pink when it absorbs moisture. This makes it easier to monitor and clearly indicates when the pillow needs to be dried. Drying can be done either in the microwave or on the heater , making the process easy and convenient.
In addition, the dehumidifying pad was also convincing in terms of odour neutralization . Unpleasant odors in the car were effectively reduced, which contributed to a more pleasant driving experience.
