'Must-have' car gadget for winter is £6 in huge deal cheaper than Amazon

Commuting isn’t top of many people’s lists when it comes to fun activities, not least in the winter months when your windscreen has frozen over and the interior mists up condensation as soon as you get inside it. The ice problem’s best tackled with some de-icer fluid and a dedicated scraper, but the interior problem can be a little trickier to deal with.

A great way to tackle the condensation is to get ahead of it with some in-car dehumidifiers. The GADLANE Car Dehumidifier four-pack, complete with anti-slip mats, has got a truckload of fans already, easing the stress of finally getting on the road on a chilly morning.

Packed with silica gel, these dehumidifier pads are simply placed in your car and left to soak up airborne moisture, massively reducing the amount that comes to settle on the inside of your windscreen and windows.

Each one will last for several weeks, and you needn’t worry about them sliding around thanks to the included anti-slip mats. They’re a great option for keeping moisture-prone items in your garage or shed nice and dry too. Not only that, but you get a one-year guarantee on them as well.

While they’re usually £20.89 online via B&Q, you can get a massive £15 off if you sign up to TopCashback before completing the sale. It’s quick and easy to do: first, simply head to the TopCashback signup page and create an account. Then, search for B&Q in TopCashback’s search bar and navigate to the site through there. From there, add the dehumidifier pack to your basket and check out as normal. Within seven working days, your £15 cashback offer will appear in your TopCashback wallet.

Over at Amazon, the four-pack has got a solid 3.6 out of 5 average rating from 25 reviews, while the two-pack has a 4-star average.

“Good bit of kit, bags are study and the non-slip pads work very well,” said one five-star review.

“No more running the car for 15 minutes to clear, these little guys do the job for you,” said another happy customer.

They won’t work miracles of course, as one customer found out when their car’s heating failed. “The heater in my car has broken down and these pads are trying but not winning,” they said. “Maybe it’s too much for them”

Another noted limited efficacy in their car: “I think I get too much humidity in the car. Too often have to wipe down the inside of the windows in the morning. These did nothing to help.”

Elsewhere, these Hillington bags are another Amazon bestseller available for £24.99. If you don’t mind quickly wiping your windscreen down, this reusable Triplewax demister pad will do the job with minimal streaks for just £2.29.
