Q:"I live in a humid climate (Florida). When I have my carpets steam-cleaned, it can take days for them to be truly dry, this is with the AC on. Regular dehumidifiers are so noisy that we can't watch TV or enjoy music when we run one in the family room. I saw these electric units without compressors. Which unit should I buy? My house is about 1700 square feet on one floor. We also have animals so often are doing spot cleaning of the carpeting with our smaller carpet cleaning machine. We don't want to be growing mold and mildew while we wait for the carpets to dry. Thanks, Mike."
Answer: I recommend the EVA-Dry Mid-Size for these reasons:
- Capacity: 2 Liters of water
- Drying feature: warm air is released through outlets on each side of the machine.
- Water Level Detector: Automatic Switch to indicate tank is full
- Effectiveness : 2,220 cubic feet
- Removes approximately 20.5 oz. moisture per day @ 86° F, 80% relative humidity
Power consumption is only 72 watts so you can run this unit continuously if you choose at less than the cost of a single 100 watt light bulb. It is small so it will fit into a closet or small storage room where you want to control moisture.
Thanks for your question.
Sincerely, Barbara
