Eva-Dry EDV-1200 Quiet, Efficient Dehumidifier. Lightweight, Stylish & Portable. Absorbs Moisture in Small Spaces in your Home, RVs, Campers, and Boats - up to 1200 cu. ft. (133 Sq. ft.)

This little dehumidifier is darling. A couple things to be aware of: 1) Most dehumidifiers only work between 60 to 90 degrees ambient temperature. This won't work in a cooler space (because the condensation coils will freeze up). 2) This did raise the temperature of the storage bin I had it in quite a bit. So be aware that they can add some heat if using for long periods of time. 3) This won't get humidity lower than 30%. I was only able to get the humidity down from 40% to 33% after running for 6 hours in a closed storage bin. Within the last 3 hours, the humidity remained stable. And when I removed the unit from the bin at the end, there was absolutely no water in the reservoir.Personally, I needed this for bringing a small space to lower than 20% humidity. So the test I ran consisted of having a hygrometer in a plastic bin with the unit, trying to get humidity down for a desert beetle enclosure (the size of a large critter keeper). After doing further research, dehumidifiers can't really achieve such low humidity. So, for such a specific use, I've found that large dessicate packs work much better. They won't reach 20% in our house (because the ambient humidity stays around 50% and the beetles need fresh air), but they do get to 27% consistently.I realize this is an odd use, but hopefully the info above will be helpful for others. Considering that the space was fairly dry when I started, it isn't surprising that it didn't pull any water. I'd expect it would work beautifully in a bathroom or other room where humidity gets really high and there's more water to pull from the air. Also, people talk about noise. I've already repackaged the unit to send back, but honestly, the sound isn't loud or unpleasant. I'd put it on the same scale as something like a personal fan or a ceramic space heater. It's very consistent. So it would be easy to block out if running it nearby while sleeping.

I had used the Eva-dry 1100 model for my closet for years, it was/is great model and worked for keeping the occasional winter/spring humidity from making my clothes musty in northern California.I recently moved had to use the 1100 for my closet in a spare room instead, where I keep one of my cat’s litter boxes: this closet is adjacent to the laundry room, and it was much more humid and caused mold issues with my walnut-based clumping cat litter. The 1100 worked alright to help (most mold issues resolved, still occasional small bits of mold) but one day a power surge/power outage shorted out that dehumidifier and it broke!I was sad, but curious to see what other models existed and found the 1200 (this one)I noticed an immediate improvement from the 1100 in terms of ability to collect water! where as before I was emptying the reservoir maybe every other week, with the 1200 I empty it once a week, and have had zero issues with mold.The design of the 1200 is much better: dust used to collect and clog the air intake of the 1100, this model has a much more open intake on the top, and perhaps even a stronger fan. It’s marginally louder than the 1100 but not annoying. It’s about the same footprint as the 1100 but is larger vertically (taller), it holds more water in the reservoir, and has an aesthetically pleasing design.Works great to keep the closet relatively low humidity and prevents mold/mustiness! Would recommend.

Because holy hell this thing is pulling so much water out of my air!For context I am a college student living in a cheaply made townhouse. My room has a bathroom within it and no window in the bathroom (genius design there). Fortunately at this price point and size, this device was perfect. I hide it behind my guitar which is next to my bedside table. So the noise is muffled a little bit. But within 24 hours which included two showers and mouth breathing, this thing filled up a good amount as you can see in the photo. I like this thing a lot because it clearly is working.My only concern and why it isn't a 5-star review is I do not understand why there is all of this black stuff on the inside where the water tank goes. It also is on top of the tank. I am no humidifier scientist. It would be nice to hear back from the company or other customers because there is no way my air is that dirty. We smoke our pot outside!! haha just kidding. But seriously, why is the dirt coming up?Outside of that though this thing works like a charm, if you're in college, highly recommend.

This is not silent, of course. It has a fan in it to circulate air. However, it is virtually unnoticeable. I actually bought these because I bought a similar condensation dehumidifier from a no-name brand, and it was a LOT louder. So loud I decided to get rid of them.I'm pleased as punch with the Eva-Dry EDV-1200. Works just as well as the loud ones, but virtually unnoticeable noise levels. When ambient relative humidity in San Diego is about 50%, this gets our bathrooms down to the low 20's. When it's in the 60's, it gets down to the mid-30s.There may be better dehumidifiers out there, but this is the best one I've found, and definitely the ones I'll be keeping.

The unit is quiet and works well, but it died within six months. Using it in a fairly small office, but because it is very very damp it went through water quick (maybe emptied once a week or even a bit less). The motor seems to have died because now it won't turn on at all.
