Eva-Dry EDV-1100 review
The honest small machine. It will not dry a bedroom in July, and the listing says so. For a closed closet or a cabinet that smells faintly damp, the review record is long and the job matches the hardware.
Amazon customers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from 5,361 ratings. Live Amazon listing, in stock and sold by Amazon.com, when checked on November 4, 2026. We do not turn that into our own star score.

- A closet, bathroom cabinet, gun safe area, under-sink cavity, or parked RV
- Coverage
- Listing limit: spaces up to about 122 sq ft, and not below 50% RH

- Tank
- 16 ounces
- Drainage
- No hose. Empty the tank.

What holds up
- 4.1 from 5,361 ratings, years of the same small job
- The listing itself caps the space at about 122 sq ft and tells you to stay above 50°F
- Auto shutoff when the 16 oz tank is full
- Small enough for a shelf, a safe, or an RV cabinet
What does not
- Removes ounces, not pints. Useless as a basement or even a whole-bedroom dryer
- No humidistat, so it runs until the tank is full
- The listing gives both 8 oz/day at a hot test point and 16 oz/week in ordinary conditions. Expect the slower number in a cool closet
- No drain hose
A closet tool that says so
The Eva-Dry EDV-1100 is a small thermoelectric dehumidifier. There is no compressor. The listing says that under hot, humid conditions, about 86°F and 80% relative humidity, it can collect about 8 ounces of water a day. Another line says up to 16 ounces a week when it runs continuously in ordinary air. Both can be true, because they are different weather. The tank holds 16 ounces. The maker also says not to use it below 50°F, below 50% relative humidity, or in a space larger than about 122 square feet.
That paragraph is more honest than most mini-dehumidifier ads. Amazon customers have rated it 4.1 from 5,361 reviews. It was in stock from Amazon.com when we checked on November 4, 2026. The ASIN is B000H0ZDD2, model EDV-1100.
What the water actually means
Eight ounces a day will fill the tank in two days in that hot test. In a cooler closet you may see the weekly pace, and you empty it every few days. There is no hose and no humidistat. It runs until the tank is full, then a light comes on and it stops. Auto restart is listed, so a power blip does not leave it off forever. The noise claim is 33 dB, set against a stated average of about 53 dB for thermoelectric units. It is a fan and a cold plate, not silence, and not a compressor hum either.
People use it in closets, bathroom cabinets, safes, under-sink cavities, and parked RVs that stay plugged in. Those are closed, small, and only slightly damp. In that setting the long review record makes sense: the machine does a small thing for years, or it dies and the owner buys another because the job was never worth a 50-pint.
What it cannot rescue
It cannot dry a bedroom with the door open. It cannot touch a basement. It will disappoint anyone who bought it because a video called it powerful. If the room smells wet, you needed the Frigidaire 22-pint or larger. If you leave the Eva-Dry in a cold garage below 50°F, the listing already told you not to. Frost and "it collects nothing" are the expected result, not a mystery defect.
A full light with an empty-looking tank is usually seating or scale on a small unit just as it is on a big one. Wipe the tank lip, set it flat, and seat it until it clicks. If it still will not run, the empty-tank guide covers the same float logic.
Who should buy it
Buy the EDV-1100 for a closet or cabinet you can close, when you want something with a long public record and a maker who prints the limits. Do not buy it as a cheap room dehumidifier. Do not buy a louder-claiming Peltier with a few dozen reviews to "cover 800 square feet" instead. The ounces are the capacity. The Eva-Dry is the one that admits it.

Questions people ask
Can the Eva-Dry replace a room dehumidifier?
No. If you can close the door and the space is about the size of a closet, a bathroom cabinet, or a small RV berth, it can take the edge off. A bedroom with the door open, or any basement, needs a compressor.
Why do the water numbers disagree?
The listing says up to 16 ounces per week when run continuously, and also about 8 ounces per day at 86°F and 80% relative humidity. Those are different conditions. In a cooler closet you should plan around the weekly figure and a tank you empty every few days, not a pint an hour.
What if the full light comes on and the tank looks empty?
Reseat the tank so the float or sensor tab lines up, wipe mineral film off the tank lip, and make sure the unit is level. The same fault shows up on big machines. The empty-tank light guide walks through it.
