Customer Reviews of Eva-dry EDV-E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
Customer Review: So far, so good
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, the Evs-dry EDV-500 works as advertised. It seems to be an inexpensive, space-saving solution for a small, perpetually humid bathroom. It took about a month to turn pink, & was easy to "recycle".Customer Review: It works
Summary: 5 Stars
It works. I don't imagine it works or feel that it works, I know it does. The once (smaller than a closet) humid space I put mine in was all the proof I needed. The rest of this is detail... : )
I use mine in a small area of ~12-15 cubic feet. Smaller than a closet. So I can't tell you how it would work in a larger area. The area I use this in is normally very humid though (about as humid as it gets) and it controls that perfectly although the long recharge time is of course an annoyance sometimes so be aware of that. It's not annoying enough for me to buy two of these yet but if they were free, I'd sure take a second one to use while the first is recharging at my leisure : )
It's true that it can be annoying to plug in and dry out the crystals inside the until because the unit is heavy for its size and has no cord. However, I would rather have this inconvenience than the inconvenience of dragging around a cord that wouldn't get used so often anyway. (Maybe once a week or two for me). If you really want a cord, plug it into an extension cord, power strip, or use some other imaginative solution : )
Just be aware that the unit has a somewhat long 'recharge' time in which to dry out the crystals for using again.
If you pop on your reading glasses and put the recharge indicator under a light and you're not color blind, you should do fine checking when it needs recharging, it's fairly obvious. Even a color blind person would probably see the blue as darker than the pink because the blue is quite a bit darker and they don't all change color at the same time, so, you can see a contrast as it starts to "get full" with the humidity it's been collecting.
Glad I bought mine! It eliminated my humidity problem without taking up a lot of space or electricity, makes no noise, and I don't get the feeling I'll need to go buy a new one in another month to replace it unlike a lot of other junk on the market..
Customer Review: nearly useless
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this unit to be not substantially better than the 300 (basically the same unit, only larger). I have had this in a bathroom (quite small) and have recharged it twice in the first week. this is something of a challenge, as the plug is attached to the unit in such a way that it effectively hangs on the wall, but is really too heavy for an outlet where it doesn't rest on the floor.
Despite it filling and being recharged twice it has not made any noticeable difference in a very small room.
Although it is twice the price I'd recommend the petite electric over this unit- which for us has made no difference at all )in brief, no matter how inexpensive, a waste of money).
Customer Review: It's working...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this product in my shower area. It is separate from the vanity. The unit seems to be taking in the extra moisture. My towels are dry and the walls aren't wet. I am on my 4th week of having it in my bathroom and the beads are just now turning pink. I am glad I purchased this.Customer Review: Ingenious Invention!
Summary: 5 Stars
Living in the tropics humidity is a HUGE problem. My clothes get moldy, leather actually rots. I have used the crystal system you can buy and refill and have not been happy. The collected water is very toxic and I have little kids, the containers can spill, and the replacement crystals are expensive and sometimes hard to find.
I'm thrilled with this little device which is reusable indefinitely and does the trick! Just be carefully when drying out the unit, connect it to a power strip where kids and animals can't get to it because it gets really hot!
