Customer Reviews of Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
Customer Review: Good product, need to iron out some glitches
Summary: 4 Stars
I prefer this product over refilling messy damp aid units anyday (yuck!).
It seems to keep the closet fairly dry. Two problems. Problem 1. When I renew one of the units, it falls out of the outlet unless I support it with something else. This could be dangerous since it heats up. I'm able to renew it on a counter outlet but could be a more problematic for a regular outlet that has more space between outlet and floor. Problem 2. My boyfriend who I forgot to tell about the unit, went into my closet like a bull in a china shop and it fell off its hook and broke (glass beads everywhere) - I had to buy a new one after only a month. There should be a more secure way to affix the unit to hang in the closet or perhaps customer should opt to put it on the floor. The hook is fairly flimsy and if you have kids or clutzy significant others, hanging just isn't a good option for a closet that is full and tight.
Customer Review: Easy To Use Dehumidifer
Summary: 5 Stars
This Dehumidifer is The handy`s thing I`ve ever see ..... I use it in a LARGE Gun Safe to keep my weapons dry . It works Very Well . It has a set of Blue BB`s incased in the front of it that tells you the unit is ready for use . It will last for about 2 weeks or so , then the BB`s in it will turn Pink and you can see a little mosture in the glass housing the BB`s , Which means the unit needs to be recharge , or dryed out . All you do is ..... Plug the unit into a wall outlet for about 4 to 6 hours with the flop down and out plug on the back of the unit ..... When you see the BB`s Turn Blue again , un-plug the unit .... Flop the plug shut or Close on the back of the unit , And it`s ready to put back in My Safe for about Two week`s . Does a VERY Good Job and O-Mosture in my Gun Safe ! ... this unit is Worth More than 5 *****`s .... It`s Worth 10*`s ... Wouldn`t Take Nothing For It .
Customer Review: Worked better than expected in my keg fridge!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this about a month ago for a beer keg refrigerator that kept collecting standing water on the bottom. I would use towels to soak up the half inch of water from the bottom of the fridge, but when I would open the fridge to check it again a week later, the water would always be back. Since I put this de-humidifier into the fridge a month ago, the fridge is still completely dry, and the beads have yet to change color at all, so I haven't yet had to "recharge" the dehumidifier. It's done just what I needed it to do. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
---UPDATE---
To my surprise, it was over 7 months before any moisture appeared in the bottom of the fridge again. I plugged in the Eva-Dry for about a day and a half (until I could see pink beads again), and put it right back in the fridge, which has been dry ever since (1 month and counting).
Customer Review: Works great for small SEALED applications
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my Keezer because excessive moisture was causing mold. This thing works amazingly well dehumidifying a 7.0 cu foot SEALED container. No longer are the walls of the freezer 'weeping', they are bone dry to the touch.
Since this is a PASSIVE dehumidifier I do not recommend it for anything but small and relatively sealed areas like a closet or fabric chest. If you want to dehumidify a small room or large closet look at getting a active model.
Update: I've had this in my keezer for 7 months now. The moisture related mold problem I had before hasn't come back since.
Update 1/21/11: Dropped it off the plugin a few times while recharging so I always use an extension cord to recharge now. Still works great, no mold has grown since getting this and I haven't even cleaned the drip tray in ages.
Customer Review: Works better than I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for a smallish 8-gun storage cabinet (really a kind of metal locker) I live in the woods here in Va. and we have a persistent dampness problem. This dehumidifier has been in service for a month and the indicator does not even show a hint of pink yet. Granted, it's been wintertime and the heat has been on, but there is a bathroom with daily showering only twenty feet away and our kitchen is directly downstairs from this room so there is moisture in the air for sure. I was expecting to have to be recharging this thing every couple of weeks, based on other reviews.
Unexpected: This thing is pretty big. I was expecting a smoke-detector-size hockey puck sort of thing, but the E-500 is a big heavy chunk (loads 'o pellets in there) Maybe I didn't need one this big for my application but for $25 it is a good insurance policy.
