Eva-Dry EDV-1100 Whisper-quiet 16 OZ Dehumidifier with Auto Shut Off and Restart for small spaces in your Home, RV, Automobile, and Storage up to 122 sq. ft

I bought a like-new one to save a bit of money and am so happy I did. The box arrived looking like someone had kicked a field goal with it, but despite the rough travels this little dehumidifier has been through, it still performs perfectly. Our bathroom is secluded from the rest of the house, so even though we have a whole-house dehumidifier, we needed a backup one for this area. It is responsible for removing moisture from a 2000 cubic foot area and does so efficiently and quietly. After roughly 5 showers or baths, the tank reaches capacity and needs to be emptied. This is no big deal and takes maybe 15 seconds to complete. I absolutely love this thing. We have noticed the bathroom smelling fresher and that sticky feeling no longer hovers in the air after showers.

First off this device is *very well designed*, is quiet, and it really works. It only draws 22 watts, so as you can imagine it's not going to dry out your whole house but left on for a while in a small room it really takes a lot of water out of the air. Peltier devices like this work by moving heat from the cool side to the warm side, but the cool side can only be a certain amount lower temperature than the hot side. So if the hot side is 70 the cool side might be 40. But if the hot side is 80 the cool side will only be 50. So it's critical to keep the hot side from getting too hot, which this device does: - The hot side heatsink is significantly larger so that it can get rid of the heat faster - The air travels from the cool heatsink through a sealed channel past the hot side, so the 'waste' cool air helps cool the hot side, making the device more efficient - The condensed water drops through a narrow hole into an otherwise sealed chamber, so it doesn't evaporate back out again as fast - The air flows down through the cold heatsink and up through the hot side, working with convection instead of against it. BUT there was one problem... mine started making a loud rattling noise after using it a few times. I took it apart, and it looks like the cause is an H shaped widget coming out the back and sitting flush with the fan. It looks like the slightest bad tolerance in the construction causes this H plastic piece to grind against the fan, making the loud rattle and causing the fan to wear out sooner. I believe this piece is there to help guide the air, or maybe to help in shipping... given the rest of the design it probably has some useful purpose. Anyway I took it apart and with some pliers simply broke off this 'H' piece and now it is back to almost completely silent operation (no grinding) and it still works just as well as far as I can tell. This was moderately difficult as there are four screws in deep holes in the back, two screws on the bottom, and four more screws inside holding the main housing in place. Also, each part is attached to the other by wires making it moderately difficult to get to this 'H' piece. I can't vouch for this other than to say it worked for me, but if yours is loud and you are handy with a screwdriver you might consider trying it.

Surprisingly quiet, but they could have made it a lot quieter. It is on par with most PCs and Laptops, but nothing like Fractal or Noctua computer fan quiet. It uses 0 watts when it isn't on, and at most 25 watts when it is running (steadily fluxuates between 24-25 watts) So it will consume as much power as 3 average LED light bulbs, or <1/2 as much power as a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I question its ability to work in an 1,000 square foot area, but it did a reasonably nice job in a 150 square foot basement bedroom running 24 hours a day. It needed to be emptied once every 3 days. It won't work as effectively as a large 50 pint dehumidifier in the same space, but it won't be as loud, and it won't heat up the room. A large dehumidifier in a 150 sq/ft bedroom will heat the room up by about 10*F without an open window and the door closed. With this smaller dehumidifier, that isn't the case, and it is enough to combat a recurring source of moisture in the atmosphere. In my case, it was a occupant who always had towels drying in his room, that made the room feel like a shower, and the mini fridge was also leaking without me knowing. So I fixed the fridge and got a drip pan for it, and used the dehumidifier to combat anything evaporating into the atmosphere. All in all it worked nicely, and I'd be happy to one of these for any room under 200 sq/ft. It might work for "up to" 1,000 sq/ft in a sealed environment without foot traffic or recurring problems. But not for a space frequently accessed. If I stored a car in a shed in florida and didn't drive it for the entire warm season, I'd be happy to let this thing chug along and keep the car and shed fresh. The biggest con with it is that it doesn't have an option to connect a hose, which is ok. It isn't difficult to modify one into it. And they could have done a better job with the quality of the fan.

I’ve tried 3 different dehumidifiers of this size. This is the only one that has lasted longer than a year. So I bought a second one for another room. I have to dump it about once a week, so it definitely pulls water. Tiny size, reasonably quiet, pulls water. Good enough. And no goofy multicolored LED lights is a bonus for me.

I had high hopes with this product after reading the positive reviews. However after 3 days I am returning the unit. In those 3 days, I had it running 24 hours a day in my small RV bathroom. In that time I got just over 3/4 cup of water. I ran a larger dehumidifier in the bathroom for 4 hours and got 2 cups of water. I also want to point out that we took multiple showers during the 3 days of the small humidifier but none during the 4 hours of the other dehumidifier. When you run the numbers over a week's time this unit should pull around 1 3/4 to 2 cups over 7 days. While this sounds great my other dehumidifier pulled that same amount in 4 hours. Obviously I have a lot of water in this room (as I keep a very close eye on my humidity) and obviously my other dehumidifier is much bigger, louder and stronger. However what I care about is a product that works. I need a product that keeps the walls dry and this failed miserably (even in a very tiny room 5 x 6 1/2 x 8). This unit is good for someone who does not have a humidity problem and wants a quiet (yes its very quiet) product that will make the air just a tiny bit dryer. This is not a product for someone that needs a dehumidifier to keep the walls from getting moisture damage. I gave this unit 1 star because I used it for exactly what they described it should be used for and it just does not have enough power to do what the job they describes it will. I don't even know how this unit could have done some of the things other people have claimed considering my room is as small as it gets and is obviously very wet as evidenced by the 2 cups I pulled in 4 hours. I hate to say it but this might be one of those items with false reviews paid for by the company to boost sales. The picture shows water pulled from this dehumidifier in 3 days on the right (3/4 cup). The 2 cups on the left came from my other dehumidifier in just 4 hours.

This little machine works wonderfully in our bathroom. Easy to empty the canister. I am planning on getting a second one for my bedroom as well.

I had this machine for nearly 9 month. It collect great deal of water, and I am very happy about that part. If you live in apartment, it is just a perfect size. If you try to set this one up in basement or large room, tank might be too small. But for NY apartment, they are perfect size and very quiet. The major flaw of this machine is not unit itself. But, its power switcher(whatever they called for AC adapter) I happened to bought 2 unit, and one of them already failed. Turned out, it was power switcher that failed and unit are both still functional. After reviewing other people's comment about similar problem, I suspect it is frequent occurrence. Thus I will rate this one 3 star for cheaply made power units, and seemingly impossible to find replacement. Otherwise, I would have given 5star. Update August 2009: Few month ago, I ordered 2 more unit about the same time friend of mine ordered 2 units for herself. It appeared, they changed supplier of AC adapter. Newer version AC adapter seemed to operate better than older version adapter. Will see in a year or so. Update September 2009: My other units AC adapter broke. So as far as 2008 model are concern it is 2 out of 2 poor AC adapter units. Since their website are now online. I had contacted customer support telephone number listed on their website. After little talk with customer support, I bought 2 replacement AC units with price of one AC units. Supposed to get those shipped in a week. Anyone who bought this units in 2008/2009 before they changed AC adapter supplier should contact customer support if those units went dead within a year. Update October 2010 : First 2 units I bought back in 2008 broke almost at same time... probably within week. So, this product's main unit has life expectancy of about 2 year. Not too bad for this type of device given underlying technology for this type of device is lots more complicated and delicate than noisy compressor based device. this type of unit's life is most likely determined by condenser or semiconductor on its circuit board, and since semiconductor part will be continuously exposed to excess heat and humidity, I might be harsh to expect life beyond 2-3 years.. Mine does looks like condenser fault than actual fault on heat exchange semiconductor units. And two units died almost at same time, my guess is it was caused by same faulty condenser units.

Context of my use: - received June 7, 2024, - I use it in my bedroom which is roughly 138 ft² - My bedroom has an ac window unit that I run constantly when I am in the room (5:30pm-6:40am) Before I got this product, I would wake up and I feel wet, sticky, unpleasant. With this little dehumidifier, I don’t wake up that way anymore. One morning I woke up to that again and saw that the unit was full and it had turned off sometime during the night. I cursed myself for not noticing the previous night and emptying before it got to max capacity. But it just made me realize how effective this thing has been. The review: The machine is very quiet, and I only hear anything small hum when I turn everything else off in the room - and even then it’s barely audible. I think that it removes enough moisture that I don’t feel icky. Does it remove all the moisture in the room? Not by a long shot. Do we want that? No. So this guy works for what I need. If I were to want to upgrade, I might do after a year because I would want to know how it works in the winter as well. But for a starter - this works fantastically. The tank size is good, especially for the size of the entire machine. It’s very easy to take out, empty, and reinsert. During the hotter times, I found myself having to empty it more frequently than I thought I would, I think every couple days I need to. I think this is because of how much moisture is in my room- which I’m thankful he’s doing his job well! Since it has gotten cooler again, I have had to empty it a little less. Usually I’ll notice the tank getting pretty full and empty it proactively, but there are times when I see it’s shut off so I do it then. I’m glad that it auto shuts off so that it doesn’t overfill. I do wish that there was more indication that it turned off such as a red blinking light or a little noise. But that’s just a personal preference for my next upgrade. Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase so far, which is only a couple month use. It fit my needs exactly, and I will update if something goes wrong or one year passes, whichever comes first. This product might not be for you depending on your room size, how much liquid you want to remove from the air, and the season; but for my needs it fits the bill perfectly.

Es un excelente producto. Desde que lo enciendes, a los poco minutos, puedes notar como comienza a gotear agua en el contenedor. Después de un par de horas, el olor a humedad comienza a desaparecer. Lo uso en una habitación de 25 metros cuadrados aprox con problemas de humedad que, al estar del lado del jardín, tiende a ser muy húmedo gran parte del año. Hace un ligero ruido, menor al que haría cualquier ventilador, que a mi parecer no es tan molesto y me ha dejado dormir con el encendido. Es de fácil limpieza y el depósito de agua se quita con facilidad. Es de un tamaño aceptable, por lo que no quitará mucho espacio y se puede acomodar prácticamente en cualquier lado.

I have had this little unit in my main washroom to alleviate moisture. It works great, it is quiet and it has greatly improved the environment.

It supports 220v input, so you can plug it right into indian sockets. Very quiet, i can hardly hear it in the same room. Using it in a <100sqft bathroom. When ambient humidity is high >80%, it fills up the container in 2 days.

Considering this was imported and I paid only for what I ordered, this was a good buy. It is doing its job really well. I already had a voltage converter plug, so didn't have to buy a new one. But if anyone is going to buy this, be sure you buy the voltage converter too. Wait till the product arrives to confirm the plug pin it has. The customer care gets in touch with you to confirm these things which is an amazing thing to do.

It seems that this works great as it is actively collecting water so we are happy. Small, quiet and practical to put in a cupboard even. Thank you!
