Eva-dry Electric Petite Dehumidifier

Works well. It removes a lot of moisture from the air.

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 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.

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.

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.
