Eva-dry E-333 Renewable dehumidifier, Pack of 1, White Sand

Product Information

Buried within the product description for the E-500 is the fact that it only removes 6 to 8 ounces of moisture and that it takes 4 to 8 weeks to do so. Thus the E-500 removes less than 1 ounce of moisture per day. For the sake of this discussion let’s say that it removes 8 ounces of moisture in 4 weeks. 4 weeks = 28 days. 8 ounces divided by 28 days = approx. 0.3 ounces of moisture removal per day. Compare this number to the 70 pints = 1120 ounces of moisture that the FFAD7033R1 removes. 1120/0.3 = 3733.33. In other words, the FFAD7033R1 removes almost four thousand times as much moisture per day as the E-500 at less than 10 times the cost. When comparing moisture removal rate, the larger compressor based dehumidifier is clearly the much better value. The E-500 isn’t the only low cost rechargeable mini desiccant dehumidifier manufactured by Eva-Dry. The E-333 is similarly priced (it’s actually a bit cheaper) and works exactly the same way. It also dehumidifies by adsorption and it also contains the same silica gel. Like the E-500 it has an “indicator window” that will indicate when the device needs to be recharged. The crystals (of silica gel) in the indicator window will change color over the course of several weeks as the device dehumidifies. When the desiccant is completely unsaturated the color of the crystals in the indicator window will be blue. When the desiccant reaches 100% saturation the color of the crystals will turn pink – this indicates that it’s time to plug in the device for it to recharge. Cordless dehumidifiers can last for a long time depending on how you care for your dehumidifier. For instance, the Eva-dry E-500 can last up to 10 years. If you are in the habit of dropping the dehumidifier, it might not last for the estimated 10-year duration.

E-333 Renewable Closet Dehumidifier (2-PACK) | Eva-Dry

Eva-Dry’s Dehumidifier uses “Whisper Technology” to maintain a low noise output. The manufacturer claims the average noise output for all thermo-electric dehumidifiers they tested was 53.2 dB. The Eva-Dry EDV-1100 measures just 50.9 dB, about 2.3 dB below average. We were amazed by how little noise can be detected from this machine and think it’s one of its biggest selling points, especially if you use this in a bedroom. Different Eva-dry dehumidifiers have varying charging durations. For instance, when using the Eva-dry E-333, it takes approximately 10 to 12 hours to recharge the dehumidifier after the silica gel beads are fully saturated and have turned green. CORDLESS DEHUMIDIFIER: Moisture out: Cords out! No cables or batteries required. Just charge your device and say bye-bye humidity! Renewable and rechargeable moisture absorber. Lasts up to 4 weeks before recharge. To put this type of square footage in perspective imagine two different rooms, one that’s 333 square feet and another that’s 500 square feet. Our example 333 square foot space is 33 feet long and 11 feet wide. Our example 500 square foot space is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide. These are sizable spaces. As we discussed above, Eva-Dry recommends the E-333 and E-500 for small spaces such as closets, pantries, small bathrooms, etc. Do any of these spaces have anywhere close to the dimensions of 33 by 11 ft or 25 by 20 ft? The answer is no. Thus even Eva-Dry themselves don’t recommend these products for any type of space with the same dimensions as their specified area of coverage of 333 or 500 square feet. Why then does the manufacturer attach these large overblown square footage numbers to what they themselves call mini dehumidifiers? Although both the E-333 and E-500 work exactly the same and have exactly the same design there are a few notable differences between these two devices which we’ll discuss next. The first most obvious difference between them is that the E-500 is physically larger than the E-333. The E-500 measures 8 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches high. The E-333 is slightly shorter – it’s only 6.25 inches long; slightly narrower – it’s only 1.25 inches wide; and it also doesn’t measure as high – it’s only 4.75 inches in height. The second, more important difference, is the fact that the E-500 has a greater capacity but a lower moisture removal rate than the E-333. Thirdly, the E-500 can dehumidify a larger area than the E-333, at least according to the manufacturer. We discuss all of these differences in much greater detail below. Moisture Removal RateYou can use the hook to hang the dehumidifier in your closet, wardrobe, or anywhere else in your home to ease air circulation and effective adsorption of humidity from the air. This feature also ensures that you can keep the dehumidifier out of reach of children and pets. Area Coverage Note: Our comments regarding the unit’s moisture removal rate, its value, and situations in which we recommend its use still apply. Over time, our damp bathroom had started to get visible water damage on the walls from condensation, so we decided to try Eva-dry’s Edv-1100 Electric Petite Dehumidifier to see if it could stand up to the moisture. Read on to see how it worked out. If you recharge the dehumidifier before the silica gel beads are completely saturated, the recharging time will be significantly shorter.

Eva-Dry E-333 Mini Renewable Dehumidifier (4 Pack)

There are no lights on the unit. The indicator window contains color-changing beads that indicate when the unit needs to be renewed. We were amazed by how little noise can be detected from this machine and think it’s one of its biggest selling points, especially if you use this in a bedroom.

Comprehensive Review

Silica gel renewable models ( E250, E333, E500, EDV365AD) do not require any power during the dehumidification process, only during the renewal process. The units use 22.5 Watts. It is also slightly more expensive than the Eva-dry E-333, which is a smaller dehumidifier from the same brand. The E-333 has a moisture removal capacity of 4 to 6 ounces. Eva-Dry states that the E-333 will reach this capacity after 2 to 4 weeks of use, depending on the conditions of the space that the unit is dehumidifying. In more humid and warmer conditions you can expect the E-333 to reach capacity more frequently (once every 2 weeks or so) while in less humid colder conditions you can expect it to reach capacity less frequently (once every 4 weeks). Note that even in the most humid, warmest conditions this unit will not reach capacity until a few weeks have passed. Yes, when you plug the unit in to dry it out, it will warm up. This is how the unit is renewed. The heat allows the clear silica gel inside the unit to expel the moisture it has absorbed. Make sure to is in a well-ventilated area during renewal and DO NOT cover the unit. I have 6 of the 333 size and 9 of the 500 size in a bag ready to go to recycling place. They work for a few months and then no longer dry out after being plugged in properly.
