Single-Use Design
DryBuddy Mini uses single-use Electronic Rice beads that cannot be reactivated. When the solid red LED appears, the Electronic Rice beads are spent and the device should be recycled.
Do not open DryBuddy Mini until you are ready to use it. Opening the device prior to use voids the warranty as the beads will begin absorbing ambient moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I opened DryBuddy Mini prior to use?
Opening DryBuddy Mini before use voids the warranty. You must use DryBuddy Mini immediately once it has been opened and removed from packaging.
What makes Redux Home Dryers different?
Redux removes all moisture. Most dryers only reduce it. There are no desiccant refills, subscription fees, or hidden costs. It's trusted by thousands of professionals and backed by over 70 patents.
Does Redux use heat?
No. Redux uses a patented vacuum-drying process that removes moisture at room temperature, making it completely safe for sensitive electronics and rechargeable batteries.
Is it safe for rechargeable hearing aids?
Yes. Redux is completely safe for rechargeable devices thanks to its no-heat drying method.
Will it work if my hearing aids went through the wash?
Often, yes. Redux can remove even extreme moisture, including water from a washing machine. However, if the electronics are already damaged, drying alone won't restore function.
When will refill cartridges be available for purchase?
