It's that time of the year again, where many homeowners are struggling with condensation building up on their windows. If not sorted it can often lead to black mould which not only looks unsightly, but can make you feel unwell in the long-run.
One suggestion to alleviate the issue is to install an electric dehumidifier and while this is a good option, some can be expensive to run and rack up a pricey electricity bill. Thankfully, savvy Amazon shoppers have found the "ultimate solution" for banishing excess moisture that is "cheap to run" and as the product is currently 43% off, it won't set you back more than £12.75.
Unibond's AERO 360º Moisture Absorber is a device you can place around your home that contains ultra-absorbent tablets made from crystals. These crystals absorb excess moisture in the air, so there is less water vapour to condense on cool windows during the colder months. The device is fairly small in size so can slot onto a window ledge and the tablets have anti-odour agents to neutralise any bad smells you might get with stagnant water.
This clever device is currently less than £13 in the Amazon sale (Amazon)It will have to be emptied by hand depending on how quickly it fills up with water, but it has a convenient spout to help with any spills. The tablets will also have to be changed every 90 days, and you can find re-fill tablets for £11.50 on Amazon.
This gadget has over 10,000 five star reviews on Amazon and one person said: "I was a bit sceptical as to whether this would actually work as we had a lot of condensation on both windows in a bedroom. I didn’t want to have to use an electric dehumidifier and so ordered the Unibond model. I am absolutely amazed at the amount of water it has collected, and we have no condensation at all. This product is exceptional."

Another user commented: "I’ve noticed a lot more condensation in one bedroom and porch this year, so got these to try. My goodness, do they work well! They’re very easy to put together. Within a day of using I could see liquid starting to collect in the bottom, meaning it had taken that much moisture out of the air. It’s over an inch deep now in two weeks! Definitely a good buy."
There are some people that have said it "occasionally leaks" but that can easily be wiped clear as the leakage is slow. You can also shop the UniBond Aero 360 Pure Moisture Absorber Dehumidifier from Robert Dyas for £12.99
