Product Description
The Edv-2200 is the most recient addition to the Eva-dry line. Using the same "Peltier" technology as the Edv-1100 (its smaller counter part) , it quietly absorbs moisture at a much more effective rate, as well as from a larger area. Once the Edv-2200 has reached its capacity, there is an indicator light that will alert you that the resivor needs to be emptied and the unit will turn itself off. This is a perfect item if you are having a hard time dealing with mold or mildew in your bathroom, on your boat or R.V. or in your house.

I spent a lot of time researching the available options to dehumidify my new apartment, which apparently has excellent thermal insulation (it's 90 degs outside but stays at 78-80 inside without a/c) but major humidity problems, partly as a result of the a/c never kicking on. Forcing the a/c to run wasn't worth catching cold and/or freezing to death, so my first low-budget solution was DampRid. It helped, especially in the closets (i.e. small enclosed areas), but it wasn't enough to take the moisture out of the air in the bedroom and living areas. So after looking at dozens of reviews for the Bionaire BDQ24-UC and the Soleus CFM-25E, I decided to go with this model, the EDV-2200.
Rationale against conventional dehumidifier: didn't want to spend $150-200 for a heavy mechanically complicated object that may get damaged in transit, with no recourse except to bicker with Bionaire/Soleus/Amazon service reps, that may or may not arrive as a lemon (per some of the reviews), and deal with a 2-foot tall 40 pound object which is likely going to be loud and suck up significant electricity.
I'm a pessimist, and that was what I took from the reviews. The majority seemed happy with their purchases, but a few had horror stories. I have terrible luck, and I got the feeling that I too would end up griping in a review about how awful my purchase was. If I was the type to not care about dropping a couple benjamins on a device that may or may not work, then no problem, I'd go with the Bionaire or the Soleus. But frankly, I got student loans and I'm poor, so I do care about where my money goes and the EDV-2200 seemed like a good alternative.
Why I like it:
- It's quiet. I have no clue as to how Peltier technology works, but all I hear is the fan, and there are minimal moving mechanical parts (no compressor, no refrigerant system, no oil leaking, nothing clanking or squeaking).
- It doesn't suck up much electricity. I don't remember exactly, but I think it runs at 70watt-ish.
- It's small. And rather cute. It looks like a one-foot tall egg.
- It works. Sort of. I see about 240-480 mL in the collection chamber every 24 hours. It still feels a bit humid around here, but hey, 1-2 cups in the tank means 1-2 cups less water in the air.
- I move it around from room to room every 24h, and where ever it is it seems to help somewhat. I wasn't expecting this thing to run like a champ and cover 900 square feet like pie...but if it can prevent my clothes and carpet from growing mold, then I consider it $80 well spent.
If you live in a swamp, you might need to step up to a traditional humidifier...this little baby won't do it. But if you don't have year-round issues and are just trying to survive a cool wet early summer without getting trench foot or having your clothes grow mold, then I think this mini-dehumidifier suffices.

I purchased this product about a month ago, and since then have been running it a good bit. It takes moisture out of the air to the tune of about half the reservoir per day, which is pretty interesting since I didn't know there was so much water to remove. That being said, I again don't know whether that is good or bad, or if the moisture isn't just as quickly replaced by outside factors. I use this dehumidifier in my bedroom, as I live in a very muggy/humid climate, and as far as I can tell it does in fact make a reasonable difference in the overall feel of the air in my room. The dimensions of my bedroom plus bathroom suite are approx 20x12x15' and 8x6x15' (high ceilings) joined. The area has three full length windows plus a door leading to the rest of the apartment, so it's never sealed like a painted-shut-window or weather-sealed setup would be. It rained pretty hard the last couple of days, and normally in a room like this you'd feel a little on the drenched side while sleeping, but I was definitely a bit more comfortable than that. Not perfect mind you, but then again this isn't one of those $300 units either.
I would recommend this for light usage, but not necessarily in an area like mine that's just going to stay pretty humid no matter what you might do to dry it out.

Nice little product, best for use in a small space like a large closet. I'm using it in a 9 X 20 room and it barely keeps up, not like a compressor driven unit. Read more
