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 unit three months ago and had used it once a week to keep our bedroom humidity low. Left for work last week, and the 12V AC Adapter had melted and burned a hole in my carpet. I contacted Amazon about the situation, and they were extremely helpful in investigating the safety of the product. They didn't find out anything about it being unsafe... but please, be careful when leaving this product unattended and only use when you are home. Make sure to check the adapter periodically, and make sure that it doesn't overheat and melt.

Great for small spaces.
This unit will not handle a large area but it does well in a closet environment. It will keep things relatively dry but cannot handle a large or excessively humid environment. Read more

Already working great
This machine collected about a cup of water in the first hour that it was on. It is going to be a big help.

The solution I needed for my NYC bedroom
NYC rental apartments tend to have quirky layouts and no central AC, leaving the tenant to his or her own resources for comfort in the humid climate. Read more

Didn't help
I think this was designed for a closet that isn't relevantly humid. I tried to give it to someone and they still didn't want it.

Didn't work well in 1 bedroom apartment
I bought this eva-dry hoping to drop the humidity in my ground level apartment. It didn't work very well. It dropped the humidity only a few percentage points in a couple of days. Read more

Does the job
I like this dehumidifier. It's small, not very loud, and it works. That being said, I've never owned another one so I don't have much to compare it too. Read more
