Updated review after 2 years of use
This is simply the best item I have ever bought on Amazon. I have now used them for TWO years and heartily recommend them.
If you are on the fence as whether to order the EVA-DRY 500 or the smaller 300/333, do yourself a favor and order the 500 unless space is an issue. The 500 is fairly large but it has a more stable base (if you aren't hanging it) & requires less frequent recharging.
AT ANY RATE...
I live in a very moist area & mildew, etc, is a HUGE problem here. After 2 years of religious recharging when pink, Mr. Stinky has finally departed from my problem cabinets (previously, I had drilled holes in the backs to improve airflow and even wiped the inside of those WOOD cabinets with undiluted bleach in an attempt to kill the smell).
NOTE: I use more than one EVA DRY 500 per chest or cabinent.
I now buy & use them BEFORE a smell problem arises.
I also use them hanging w/in muslin garment bags (shearling & leather coats).
Perhaps those who have had a negative experience w/ EVA-DRY didn't give the product enough time; do not expect complete dryness & a fresh smell immediately after placement.
I recharge it on a power slip placed on my kitchen counter (ceramic tile) because of other reviewers comments about the difficulty of wall outlet recharging due to Eva-dry's weight & because it *does* heat up when being renewed.
My only complaint is that it has next to zero instructions about the hanger (e.g. hanger on 300 series goes in hole on back & the hanger on the 500 goes through the holes in the plug).
