I use them in the safe, and keeping filament, and guns and ammo dry.
A common complaint for this model is that the beads stop changing color after awhile.
Someone took it apart and noticed that the beads in the window, that show the color change, had become burnt which is why they stopped changing color. The beads within the unit were dry after recharging but you couldn't tell because the ones in the window lost their ability to change color. The unit had done it's job and dried out the beads after recharging but you couldn't tell. He just replaced the beads in the window with beads from within the body, which were dry, and then the unit indicated when the beads were dry again.
What likely happens is that the beads in the window get too hot from one long heating cycle. A possible fix is to dry the beads in stages, that is, plug the unit in for half the time then let the unit cool down for awhile, say an hour or so then plug it in for the rest of the heating cycle. Bothersome, yes, but not too much if a timer is used.
Community Reviews
Eva-Dry's wireless mini dehumidifier is best suited to small, enclosed spaces like safes, cabinets, sealed bins, and cars, where it can help keep documents, guns, ammo, filament, and glasses dry or prevent window fogging. The rechargeable bead design is praised for long-term use, with some units lasting years and needing only occasional recharging in gun cabinets. The main drawbacks are limited capacity, frequent recharging in wetter spaces, and indicator lights that can stop working or fail to show when the beads are dry. It is a compact moisture absorber that works best when the space is truly sealed.
Gun safe owners needing a low-maintenance moisture absorber, because it works well in small enclosed safes and only needs recharging a few times a year.
Car owners fighting window fog in a small enclosed space, because it keeps windows from fogging and can be recharged about monthly.
People storing documents or glasses in a sealed cabinet, because it helps prevent mold and musty odors in confined storage.
3D printer filament storage setups in gasketed bins, because it keeps filament dry in a sealed container.
Drivers expecting it to dry a van or large room, because it does not reduce humidity enough outside a small enclosed space.
Anyone relying on the indicator window long term, because the beads can burn and stop changing color after repeated heating cycles.
People wanting a set-and-forget dehumidifier, because it needs periodic recharging and can require frequent attention in wetter conditions.
Buyers who need a durable unit, because some units failed completely and were discarded.

Let me guess, your windows 'sweat' in winter....
FWIW, I have several of these, they are awesome in my gun metal cabinets (not even sealed "safes") and I also keep one in each car's truck. The ones in the cars need recharging once a month but the ones in the gun cabinets only need recharging once or twice a year. The indicator stops working if they get way too 'wet' and stay that way...like far more 'wet' than normal use. Again, suggesting you are not addressing the actual humidity problem, just trying to throw a band aid on it.
P.S. These are this price often at LIDL.
I keep one in a zip lock and toss my phone in there when its raining.
It will not suck up moisture in a large room. It will but it does not have the capacity for large amounts of moisture without a recharge. Small enclosed spaces work best.
