I bought the Eva dehumidifier a little less than 2 years ago and it seemed to work great.I had it in an average size bedroom.It was fairly quiet and it was just the right size for my needs, as it would fill up after about 4 days.It shut off when full so no worries and was really simple & quick to empty. I was surprised at how much water it actually would accumulate - it holds a pint. I put a little hand towel under it just in case but there was never any significant leaking. On a wood nightstand, I just didn't want any moisture damage to the wood and there never was.
I would have given the product 5 stars if it had lasted a couple more years but it didn't.I know it didn't cost a lot but I think things should last a little longer than 2 yrs and now when I go looking for a new one, I have to assume I'm paying $50 for something that will work < 2 yrs and contribute to our landfills.
I started looking for a new product and I'm sad to say that the reviews for comparable are not very good.In fact, I noticed the same problem in reviews for other brands but those brands didn't even last a year!It seems to have been the same problem; one day the thing just doesn't turn back on.Mine got full so it automatically shut off.After I emptied it, it didn't turn back on.I waited a few days with it unplugged, I made sure the plug connection was good but it still doesn't turn on.Reading other brand reviews though, it seems those stopped working within days or a few months.Maybe I should be happy almost 2 yrs?
I liked the size, ease of use and fairly quiet fan, plus it didn't look that bad or bulky sitting on a nightstand.Maybe mine was a lemon and another one would last longer.I hope so because I haven't found anything better and even if I pay for a better quality, more reliable product, I haven't found one which has all the positive attributes this one had.
I should add that this unit just sat there and never had any misuse.It didn't get dropped, knocked over nor did it experience any power surges.There are many other things I own that go through abuse and I would be surprised if they lasted 2 yrs but this one I would have expected a little bit longer life from.
Again, it may have been an unlucky fluke for me but you may want to consider when buying that it may not last 2 yrs.Hope this is helpful.

Bought the fan for a small bathroom (80 sq feet) that has an "at the beach" theme.I was a bit worried about what the fan actually looked like but it looks great!The cover is rough (just like a sand dollar) and doesn't look cheap.It is relatively quiet and works fine.I might not recommend it for a large bathroom since it doesn't have the capacity to pull enough air but is fine for smaller bathrooms.
