• Absorbs excess moisture • Compact design conserves space • No batteries or wires required • Rechargeable unit requires no batteries or wires • Water Glass technology wicks excess moisture from your air
This mini dehumidifier has been design to adsorb moisture from small enclosed areas (maximum area: 10'x 10'). It will help protect clothes and valuables from the damaging effects of mold/mildew and moisture rot. It is 100% renewable and needs no power to operate. Just hang the eva-dry unit in a closet, or you can place it in other small enclosed spaces, and it will start to adsorb moisture. There are no batteries required or cords to plug in, the unit works without power. There is an indicator window with special "moisture meter crystals" that change from blue (when dry) to pink (when wet) to indicate when the unit needs to be "renewed". The unit will adsorb approximately 8 to 10 ounces of moisture (depending on humidity levels this should take between 3 - 8 weeks). Once the moisture has been adsorbed it cannot leak or spill. This unit uses a specialized engineered crystallized silica gel that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe. When the indicator crystals turn Pink it is time to "re-new" the unit. Simply remove the unit from where it is adsorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet.

Customer Rating: Summary: RES eva-dry review Comment: I like this product. I have several of them, and they seem to work very well. My only complaint is the hanger - it causes the unit to not hang as the clothes do (the hook needs to be turned 90 degrees). I would recommend them to anyone wanting a product like this. Customer Rating: Summary: Big, heavy, and relatively fragile, but it does work Comment: I bought this to put inside a medium sized safe and it does seem to be doing a good job of controlling moisture, it's been in there 7-10 days and still doing okay, no need to recharge yet.
That being said, my main complaint is that this thing is big, like 4x7x1.5" or so, and most of that space is for the electric heater that "recharges" it by heating the gel balls inside. So it takes up a lot of space, relative to the inside of my modest safe.
Also, this thing is heavy, and if you drop it from even just a couple feet, it can cause damage both to your floor and the device. It slipped out of my hands once and the impact separated the housing some and gel balls started leaking out. I was able to snap it back together, but this is pretty cheap design that could have been fixed with some screws instead of plastic snaps.
Note this gets quite warm when "charging" so keep it out of reach of children to be safe. Customer Rating: Summary: Ziggy's New Air.. Comment: We have a beautiful and loving cat Ziggy who has breathing problems;

Ziggy so much...we are very pleased with this product. Customer Rating: Summary: received different product Comment: In looking at the pictures I realized I didn't receive the mini dehumidifier I got another EDV 300 which I had ordered on the same day. I thought it seemed weird but since one came from Ace Hardware and the others came from Amazon I thought maybe I'd read the descriptions wrong and had actually ordered the same thing even though I'd paid more. I learned to order from Amazon and not Ace Hardware. Customer Rating: Summary: Works beautifully Comment: If you are on the fence as whether to order the larger EVA-DRY 500 or the smaller 333, do yourself a favor and order the 500. I was recharging FOUR of the EV-333 *weekly* when they were in two small (~4hx3wx2d w/one shelf) problem cabinets with funky smells and zero air circulation. And the 500 has a more stable base (if you are not hanging it).
Perhaps those who have had a negative experience w/ EVA-DRY didn't give the product enough time: do not expect complete dryness & a fresh smell immediately after placement. I have found that after a couple months of religious drying out of the EVA DRYs when (almost) pink, I have had a *significant* reduction of the funky odor. I could not be more pleased. We had drilled holes in the backing of these cabinets to increase air circulation and it didn't do squat. These WORK.
My only complaint is that there are zero instructions as to where the hangers should be inserted. 300/333 = hole in back opposite plug end. 500 = hanger goes through the holes in the plug.
I recharge both the 333 & 500 on a power slip placed on my kitchen counter (ceramic tile) because of other reviewers comments about the difficulty of wall outlet recharging due to Eva-dry's weight & because it does heat up when being renewed.
I have now bought 8 of the EVA-DRY 500 & 4 of the 333. I would give them as presents.
