Product Reviews of Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
Product Review: EDV-500 big improvement over EDV-300 especially hanger
Summary: 4 Stars
I have 5 of these Eva-Dry rechargable dessicating dehumidifiers. Here in humid NC, using the larger in 4x8 closet works well. Takes some time, but definite measurable difference of 10-15% or so on humidity gauge after a couple of days. Need to recharge once a week here where even with the air conditioning on, indoor rel humidity is over 50% most days.
The larger EDV-500 has a much better hook which fits through the holes in the Eva-Dry EDV-500 plug, a feature that is not very well documented!
Also, there are occasional specials: recently a 2 for 1 sale on the EDV-500 with free shipping.
Only reason for not giving this product a 5 star is that as stated in other posts, the recharge process gets the unit very hot and it doesn't always sit well in an outlet without support. I too had one unit fall, and was fortunate the case stayed intact but the little beads could make for a real mess if the unit broke open!
But the real mess this thing avoids is dealing with drying chemicals that collect water and the dissolved dessicant. When that tips over, it is a wet mess, so the EDV-500 and EDV-300 avoid that type of mess.
PS - where in the world did someone get the idea to label this "wireless" in the Amazon description? Very misleading!
Product Review: EDV-E-500
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great dehumidifier. I use it in my gun safes where any moisture could be devastating. I would have given it 5 stars except it is a pain to only plug it into a power strip because it is too heavy to plug into a wall socket. The first unit I received arrived broken. Amazon was very good to ship a replacement ASAP. I have two of these units and will purchase more for additional safes.Product 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 .
Product Review: Energy Efficient, Just Not Efficient
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excited to see an energy efficient dehumidifier that I could throw in my closet to protect some of my clothes and papers. The Eva-dry has the unique ability of being wireless and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, for what you give up in energy efficiency, you're giving up in overall performance.
It's tough to judge its performance since you never actually see the water. You can't open a container and poor out what's been collected. Instead you must trust some colored balls to guide you along the way. The balls did change and needed to be re-energized, but it took a long time. In a basement closet, I was expecting to have to recharge it every week, but was surprised to see it take almost 3 months in a damp closet.
Perhaps this is a good item for something small like a safe, but anything larger and it seems somewhat worthless. It doesn't seem to eliminate much moisture and is just not worth the price tag.
Product Review: Eva Dry
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for a basement storage area a few years ago. It has been trouble free and worlds better than a desiccant that you threw away when absorbed with water. I have dried this unit probably 20 times and it still keeps going. So it was a no brainer to purchase another Eva Dry.
