Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
Works in a 500 cubic ft. area No batteries or cords required 100% renewable - works up to 10 years Compact and silent Spill and mess free Non-toxic - child and pet safe Eva Dry Renewable Mini Wireless Dehumidifier available on August 23 2018 from Buy for itemprop="offers" target="_external" title="" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">24.95I got the 500 for my 1.6 cubic ft. AMSEC safe for my handguns and important documents and use a wireless temperature/humidifier sensor to measure the moisture. It works well and keeps moisture at bay.Con: After a month and 2 renews, the unit stopped renewing. The unit would not heat up to release the moisture from the unit. Did a little troubleshooting and found that the collapsible power plug wouldn't make contact when plugged into the wall. This is the contact between the plug and the unit itself and not the wall. The weight of the unit when plugged into the wall would tend to pull itself away and cause it not to make contact with the unit. I verified this with a Fluke multimeter while pulling on the plug it would lose connection. The only work around is to charge it upright on a power strip where the weight would help give it a better connect.The unit gets very HOT! I assume this is normal considering it needs alot of heat to release the moisture...

| Author: R Round "ST" (Maryland) .. | I was surprisingly pleased with the Eva Dry mini dehumidifier. I hang mine just out outside our guinea pig's cage and it absorbs excess moisture quite effectively, keeping their food and cage area from getting too humid. It takes several weeks to fully absorb moisture but the indicator will go from blue to bright pink, and the unit will be noticeably heavier. Just plug the unit into the socket overnight to refresh. | 3 | |
| Author: M. R. Smith (Central NC).. | 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... | 3 | |
