Quite effective in little areas
By R Round
I was breathtakingly pleased with the Eva Dry mini dehumidifier. I hang mine just out outside our guinea pig’s cage and it absorbs excess moisture rather effectively, keeping their feed and cage area from getting too humid. It takes assorted weeks to wholly 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 for the length of one night to refresh.

EDV-500 big betterment over EDV-300 particularly hanger
By M. R. Smith
I have 5 of these Eva-Dry rechargable dessicating dehumidifiers. Here in humid NC, using the more spectacular in 4×8 closet works well. Takes a good deal of time, but definitive measurable divergence 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 more spectacular 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: not so long ago 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 procedure 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 fends off is dealing with drying chemicals that gather water and the dissolved dessicant. When that tips over, it is a wet mess, so the EDV-500 and EDV-300 keep out of the way of that type of mess.
PS – where in the world did an individual get the idea to label this “wireless” in the Amazon description? Very misleading!

Good product, need to iron out some glitches
By Carol Beth Sirney
I prefer this product over refilling messy damp support units anyday (yuck!).
It seems to keep the closet somewhat dry. Two problems. Problem 1. When I renew one of the units, it falls out of the outlet unless I help it with something else. This could be dangerous since it heats up. I’m competent to renew it on a counter outlet but could be a more problematic for a regular outlet that has more space among outlet and floor. Problem 2. My boyfriend who I forgot to tell when it comes to the unit, went into my closet like a bull in a china shop and it fell off it is hook and broke (glass beads everywhere) – I had to buy a new one after only a month. There will have to be a more secure way to affix the unit to hang in the closet or perhaps client ought to opt to put it on the floor. The hook is reasonably flimsy and if you have kids or clutzy significant others, hanging just isn’t a good option for a closet that is full and tight.
