What is Reddit's opinion of Eva-dry Edv-1100 Electric Petite Dehumidifier, White?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

evadry petite this is along what you're looking for. It doesn't have a compressor so it won't kick off heat either. I use this in my mini fridge, the humidifier I have is actually a tad larger. So you could probably get away with something a little bigger.

The temp and humidity controls are all a puzzle. I use the dehumidifier to keep the humidity from getting away from me, but I do it in a way where the fridge will cycle on not too long after it kicks on which drops the humidity. The difference here is your set up will have a fan in the back of it I believe? Most people with wine coolers have an issue with too much airflow, so that may be something to look out for. Many have disconnect the fans so only the cooler cools down once it kicks on and add an external cpu fan or mininfan on a timer for air flow.

Personally I just open the door 2-3 times a day to get some fresh air in it.

Thank you so much, it is the only one that seemed off to me luckily! Will keep a close eye... I have a dehumidifier like this one, I will try to use it but I don't think it will do much https://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Edv-1100-Electric-Petite-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0ZDD2

> Do I need a dehumidifier that is effectively always working whenever it is turned on, vs my current one which is capable of being on without working?

Yes. The Inkbird controller is just a basic switch hooked up to a thermometer/hygrometer. It senses the input, determines if the temp/humidity threshold has been crossed, and turns off or on depending on the current rule. It doesn't know anything about the device you have plugged into it. Even the fact that the device you have plugged in will somehow affect the input data is implied. Some people turn on exhaust fans with their hygrometer-based switch as pulling in ambient air will usually dehumidify your controlled environment (think grow rooms).

The dumber you make the device on the other side of the switched outlet the less trouble you're going to run into. Here's what I use.

So I have opened the window, kept the door open (it’s only me and my s/o). And we have this guy.

We personally haven’t done anything to this bathroom except fixed some grout

This is the dehumidifier I was thinking about. It doesn't have a compressor and I've read others post about using ones like this with the Peltier technology with success. Hopefully it'll work out.

If I upgrade to a larger chamber I'll probably spend a little extra and get a better controller too. But for a first one I'm hoping this works out.

I'd use a hand towel to wipe down the windows daily. You could also look into getting a small dehumidifier. I recently bought this one on Amazon to stay on top of our bathroom that never seemed to be able to dry out. I've definitely noticed a difference since starting to use it. It pulls up to 8 oz of water out of the air daily, and it's small enough to sit on the counter.

Bought one of these for the safe, tired of dealing with silica beads. As lots of reviewers say, the fan and AC adapter are crappy (fan is noisy and dies, and AC adapter runs really hot), so I've already replaced them. May turn out to be decent now.

Wet emulsion is my guess too. OP, dry your screens overnight and see if that helps at all. After 6-8 hours of drying the emulsion should definitely be dry. If that doesn't work I would check to make sure that your dark room/drying room isn't too humid. My dark room is just a converted bathroom so I use THIS dehumidifier to keep things extra dry.

So I had a bathroom exactly like the one you're describing. No fan, and just a window. The window was on the side of the tub, meaning someone outside could look in if it was open (the window was frosted). My first attempt was a little dehumidifier I kept plugged in in the bathroom. It helped a lot with the addressing the dampness / steam / etc. post-shower, but it took awhile. Ultimately, I had to resort to getting a screen to put in the window so that I could keep it open, and the steam would go out while I was taking a shower. Both of these combined made it so that even if there was some steam post-shower, it quickly went away instead of leaving things damp.

Regardless of the above, you'll need to get the mold treated.

I use this with my inkbird sensor: Eva-dry Edv-1100 Electric Petite... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0ZDD2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

i use a different kind that's less powerful but runs constantly at a lower noise level, but it's enough for my studio.

If your battery/charging can take it, small household dehumidifiers use a power brick that converts to DC;

I use this one on 12vDC step down to 9; it pulls 2.5 amp, 'bout the same as my fridge.

I use a switch to turn it off and on, but that could be a timer or humidity sensor.

" ventilation is the key " and fans that move the air vertically, as well as horizontally.

Also using alcohol in a spray bottle when you wipe down the damp inside of the cabin: helps to kill all the mold spores and the fumes help to limit mildew in the spots you can't reach easily.
