Dehumidifier Review for Small Places

EVD 1100
If you have a ventilation problems in your bathroom or closet or in any of  small places, Eva-dry Electric Petite Dehumidifier (EVD 1100) can help take the dampness away.


Pros
The Eva-Dry Electric Petite Dehumidifier uses Peltier Technology (no compressor) that makes it small and silent. It is perfect for bathrooms, and small to mid-sized rooms where wetness and humidity are a trouble. This unit is compact enough to easily fit on your work desk or work bench. It removes the dampness from the air and stores it inside a spill-proof reservoir. Just plug it in and it quietly dries air. Has an automatic turn off switch to shut the unit off as soon as the water tank is filled. When this happens a "full" warning light will warn you if the reservoir must be emptied. Holds up to 16 oz. Depending on the humidity of the selected area, the reservoir can take three days to one week to fill up if running constantly.


Cons
Although Eva-Dry is using a thermoelectric cooler, it avoids the noisy compressor, it has a loud fan that can be a problem using this dehumidifier in you bedroom during the night.

Summary
A wonderful product for such a compact size. Is most suitable to be used in small places like closets and small bathrooms, but not appropriate for bedrooms where the area is larger and quietness is preferred. Although it can be used all day if a bedroom is small enough. For bigger bedrooms we suggest bigger dehumidifiers.

Were to buy
Amazon sells it for $58.31 and only few left in stock. So hurry up if you want to get one here!
