Eva-Dry Edv-2200 Mid-Size Dehumidifier

The Eva-Dry Edv-2200 is a compact dehumidifier that is perfect for use in small rooms. It does not use that much electricity and is one of the cheaper dehumidifiers available, making the Eva-Dry Edv-2200 perfect for any one who needs just a little bit of moisture removed.

Uses of the Dehumidifier

In general, dehumidifiers work by removing moisture from the surrounding area. A dehumidifier is essential in preventing the appearance of mildew, mold, cockroaches, fleas, and other organisms. Since the Eva-Dry Edv-2200 is small, it is best suited for smaller rooms or places like a boat or RV. It is particularly suited for use with a piano. Its small size also means that it works best in moderately humid areas, but is ineffectual in very wet climates.

Features

The Eva-Dry Edv-2200 features a small, compact design so that the dehumidifier can be tucked out of sight. It collects a couple of cups of water a day and its reservoir can hold a few days’ collections at a time. The dehumidifier has an auto sensor that will shut the machine off when the reservoir is full. There is also an indicator light will go on as a reminder that the machine needs to be emptied. The machine features Peltier technology.

Peltier Technology

Peltier technology uses an electric current to transfer heat from one area to another. In doing so, the machine absorbs water from the surroundings. Peltier technology is very inefficient, meaning it uses a lot of electricity to get a small amount of work done. However, it is great for a small dehumidifier, since it is small, flexible, and cheap. In addition, a dehumidifier with Peltier technology, like the Eva-Dry Edv-2200, does not require movable parts or a liquid.

Pros

Because of its Peltier technology, the Eva-Dry Edv-2200 is a relatively quiet dehumidifier. It is loud enough for the noise to be noticeable at night, but not so loud that it prevents most people from sleeping peacefully. The technology and size mean that the whole thing weighs less than seven pounds. It is also one of the cheaper models on the market. Finally, the auto shut off means it can be kept in a room that there is never any danger of the reservoir overflowing.

Cons

Sensitive sleepers complain that the noise from the dehumidifier keeps them up at night. People in warm, humid climates find that the machine can’t get enough moisture from the air to make a noticeable difference. In addition, the machine also does not come equipped with an air filter and the reservoir cannot be removed for easy cleaning. Finally, the AC adaptor is prone to overheating and must be left in a place where it will get enough air.

If you need a dehumidifier for a small room that doesn’t get too much moisture, you probably don’t want to waste your money on a full sized, expensive machine. Instead, consider purchasing the Eva-Dry Edv-2200, which can get the job done for a fraction of the cost.
