Eva-Dry E-500 Renewable Dehumidifier 2-Pack (6–8 oz Capacity Each), White – Ideal for Closets, Bathrooms, Safes, Boats, and RVs

I bought a pair of these to help absorb excess moisture in the master bath and guest bath because the air circulation in both is abysmal (even with the built-in ceiling vent fans left running for hours after showering), so mold and mildew are a constant problem, particularly since we live in Florida. I always had decent luck with disposal options (e.g., Damp Rid) in the past, but to me, the disposable ones never looked particularly good and were often difficult to place, and it felt so wasteful to have to chuck them and replace them so frequently. So the fact that the Eva-Dry units were a bit more sleek, could be hung, and were rechargeable/reusable were all HUGE bonuses.But frankly, I was skeptical about how well the Eva-Dry dehumidifiers would actually work. I spent a lot of time perusing both customer reviews and online articles evaluating the best rechargeable mini dehumidifiers, and while Eva-Dry ticked almost every box, I was still a bit iffy when I ordered – particularly given the price point. HOWEVER, after using them for about a month now, I am kicking myself for not ordering them sooner, because they are fantastic!!For the first few days, I definitely thought I noticed a difference in the level of humidity in both bathrooms after showering, but I wasn't sure if that was just a placebo effect. But I soon got the proof I needed: For the past year, I've been using a small plug-in always-on dehumidifier in the master bedroom (which is attached to the master bathroom) to help keep it dryer and cooler at night. Since I started using the plug-in dehumidifier about a year ago, I've had to empty to collection reservoir about twice a week – presumably because the humidity from the master bathroom was seeping into the master bedroom. However, since I started using the Eva-Dry dehumidifier in the master bathroom about a month ago, I haven't had to empty the reservoir on my plug-in dehumidifier even once! In fact, I'm toying with the idea of retiring my old plug-in always-on dehumidifer altogether, because the Eva-Dry unit seems to be collecting all the excess moisture before it ever makes it into the bedroom to begin with.The only thing I don't *love* about the Eva-Dry renewable dehumidifiers is that they take several hours to recharge (almost an entire day), which is mildly inconvenient. However, in my opinion, that's worth the price of admission, because they work extremely well. So far, I've had to recharge my units twice in the last month (once every 2 weeks or so), which seems more than reasonable to me – considering the fact that we live in Florida and often shower twice a day (now that the temp often exceeds 90° every day), I'm honestly surprised that I don't have to recharge them more often!NOTE: I noticed that the units occasionally make a slight "popping" sound when they're recharging, which made me slightly paranoid the first time I had them plugged in, so I moved them to an outlet on a power strip in my office where I could watch them like a hawk just in case. That seems to be a normal part of the charging process though, because I purchased 2 of these and both units do it. It just seems to be a normal part of the renewal process. These also put out a fair amount of heat as they're recharging, but neither of mine got to the point where they were too hot to the touch or anything.BOTTOM LINE: I HIGHLY recommend these! For me, these have worked wonders! And I'll never be going back to the disposable ones – not only do these look better, but they WORK better too, and they're less wasteful to boot. Yes, they cost a little more than the cheap disposable ones, but they cost far less in the long run. LOVE these!!

Been using these for years in my gun safe, horse tack box and other plastic totes with things that need to stay dry. Just remember to check them periodically and plug them in to recharge if they're getting "wet".Also these are 100-240V compatible. I lived in Europe and used with a wall plug adaptors and they work just fine on German 50hz/220v outlets.

Works great for my gun safe.

We bought this dehumidifier for our bathroom (it’s small and doesn’t have windows, it has a vent that we also use while showering and for at least an hour after shower but I still feel there is moisture). I have both of the dehumidifiers in the bathroom. I would say it’s early to say how they work or if they do the job for us because we have them for about 10 days. I will tell you what I noticed and I do think others should be aware.1. On the manual there is misleading information about how to charge it. On one side there is a picture showing you must not use an extension cord and inside where they give you way of handling it says not to plug it directly into the wall because it gets hot. (I don’t have a picture of it right now but for later I will take one and show you what I mean). We bought extension cord because I went back to read in the comments if other people did the same.2. When we received them the first one I looked at had some more green/black balls and it filled up quickly - left it to charge because I saw it became all dark green. But what makes me wonder is if it’s actually working properly or if it’s something else (I put that one under the sink in the cabinet). The other one is on the top of the mirror cabinet and it still has a lot of orange balls (but it didn’t have green ones at the beginning or only few). I am attaching photos from when I opened them to see how they look.3. They are compact, light and don’t make any sound so I would say that’s a big plus. And the design is good.I will come back to this review and let you know further in time if they are still good and if it matches the lifespan they advertise. Currently I’m more skeptical but they also advertise the use of it for closets and gun safe, not so much for bathrooms (even though it’s mentioned as well). Maybe it’s more appropriate for a bathroom that doesn’t have a shower in it.

I’m using this rechargeable dehumidifier in our RV, and it’s been a great little addition. It helps control moisture in tight areas like the bathroom and closets, especially when we’re in humid climates. I noticed a difference pretty quickly, less condensation, and no musty smells.What I love is that it’s cordless during use and totally silent. Once it’s full, I just plug it in to recharge, and it’s ready to go again in a few hours. No mess, no filters to replace, and nothing to spill.It’s compact enough to tuck anywhere, and super easy to rotate between spots. For RV living, this is a must-have to keep things fresh and dry.

I purchased a set of two in October '22 because I live in a tropical climate. Humidity is not our friend when clothes and other items are behind closet doors. I've used DampRid for years but don't like the granules or the need to empty the container, but it works. I was looking for an easier, perhaps more elegant solution. At first, the Eva-Dry units were great. They turned dark within a week or so, but no worries (I thought). I'll just plug them into the wall socket. Nope, they need to be plugged into a power strip. Okay, no problem. The units heat up (to be expected) and the first few times, both of them changed back to orange. About 5-6 months ago, one of the units refused to dry out although I left it on the power strip for several days. Now both units are kaput. Waste of money so I'm back to DampRid. Sigh.

I have them in my safe and a room with high humidity. They do work well. It is easy to see when they need recharging. I plug them in for a day and ready to go again.

As advertised, have to see how long they last
