Inventor EVA ION PRO Wi-Fi 20L Dehumidifier,”Which

This is an excellent piece of kit, no condensation at all in my bungalow and dries clothes within a couple of hours, so much cheaper than a drier.
I have already recommended this machine to 2 of my friends, they are also pleased with it.

Thrilled with above item it does the job perfect , only one down fall it’s quite nosey on high but i exspected that as it does have a fan in it , on low very quite the price very good. It helps take the moisture out of wet washing . We are that pleased we have just ordered a second one for down stairs .

Got this to replace an ageing lower capacity dehumidifier which had given up the ghost trying to cope with increasing humidity levels in our big Victorian basement; a year of abnormally damp weather had seen the humidity increase significantly. Put this in the workshop and it got the humidity down by 10% in a few days. ‘Smart’ functionality is minimal but the plan is to eventually link the dehumidifier to my home automation system to allow for greater ‘intelligence’, in the meantime the app means that I no longer have to climb down into the cellar to check on the machine. Will be buying another for the other half of the basement.

We had major problems with high humidity in our bedroom and en suite, leading to mould on the ceiling of the latter room, despite a fan in the ceiling. We checked the humidity in the bedroom with a meter and it was going as high as 80%. We resorted to having the central heating on in the bedroom to try and reduce the amount of condensation. The ceiling fan in the en suite was also working extra hard because it has a humidity sensor. When the dehumidifier arrived we simply switched it on using the smart setting and kept it on during waking hours. Initially this resulted in 1-2 tanks of water removed per day, but now it removes about 1 tankful per day, presumably because the walls have dried out. The condensation on our windows has disappeared, and the mould problem is well under control.

We are really impressed with this machine, and wish we had bought it earlier! We have not bothered to install the app as the machine is easy to control with the buttons on it. Humidity levels are now very rarely above 60% and at the end of the day can go down as low as 47%. Any energy used by the machine is compensated for by the reduced need for the ceiling fan and, especially, by the reduced need for using our central heating upstairs.

This unit is currently saving me from the horrendous damp winter months! It works fantastically well, it is very well put together and feels nice and sturdy.

I had some issues with not using the heating as much where the rooms were getting very damp, and opening the windows when it was often 95% humidity outside doesn’t exactly help so I needed something better.

I bought this unit and it arrived in perfect condition, popped it in the worst room and left it on continuous MAX fan mode for a few days and was honestly absolutely stunned at the sheer amount of water it was pulling out of the air. No wonder I had Humidity and damp issues!

After a few weeks of blasting it throughout the house and sucking out the moisture the entire house feels so much more comfy, the colder nights now don’t feel anywhere near as baltic as they did before because the air is no longer like breathing ice. I now just keep it going on it’s Smart mode which reads the temperature of the room and adjusts the humidity to keep the comfort just right.

Noise wise, I don’t mind it. I quite like white noise anyway so I can happily sleep with it on full blast all night long without issue, when it’s on it’s Min and Medium settings it’s quite quiet, when it’s on the MAX mode it’s a little bit noisy but no more than say an Air Conditioner might be.

It doesn’t mention it anywhere in the paperwork or documentation or even on the sales blurb above but it has Alexa voice control as well, just download the Inventor App for your phone and the Inventor Alexa Skill and it just all connects up! (No idea why they didn’t put that as a feature, it’s quite handy!)

It wasn’t my first choice as I was going to buy others but for some reason every single one I looked at was sold out, must be a lot of people in my boat this winter, but I am actually glad it pushed me to get this slightly more expensive model because it is just absolutely fantastic.

Why didn’t I get this before!?
On normal mode it clears condensation from a small family of showers, pulling a liter+ of moisture from the air in about an hour – no more damp windows.
Clothes drying mode is amazing – we have to hang laundry inside during the winter and this dries a full rack in good time. And because it doesn’t heat the air, I guess that it is more energy efficient than a tumble drier.
None of the three noise levels seem loud, and quiet mode is gentle. I’m not sure I would want to sleep with it in my room, but then that feels unnecessary as it clears the air quickly in the morning.
Easily portable to trundle the house to clear all the bedrooms.
Our home feels clearer and warmer since using this. My daily chore of wiping the windows down has disappeared completely, and I’ve seen no regrowth of the patches of the black mould we had. I feel this is making our home safer.
Very pleased I went for this model rather than the cheaper small ones available which would need constant emptying with our use. A good investment and value for money.

Easy to empty and the wheels make it easy to transport around flat areas.

So have it for a few days as I wanted to know how it works and if it works at all. First it’s quiet. I was worry that it will be noisy but it’s not. Efficiency? 5 stars. After few days of using it the condensation disappeared from all my widows. Temperature feels higher as the air is dryer. I can control it remotely using my phone. The Ioniser function seems to be working good for the quality of the air. I have already tried this Dryer feature and all the clothes were dry within half a day. Overall I’m so surprised how good is this product that I can really recommend it.

So pleased with this, it’s perfect for stopping condensation on windows and walls, 3 modes continuous dryer and smart , 20 L capacity works really nicely also the central heating system warms the house up much more quickly than when the house is less damp nothing to dislike.

We got this on the advice from a friend. Brilliant choice. Instead of using the costly tumble dryer, this sits in a room and the clothes go on 2 airers. By the morning it’s all dry. If the large tank does happen to get full it cuts out. At 7p an hour a whole night and day is only 1.68. Clothes are always dry including waistbands of jeans and bedding. All at much less than the tumble. If you can afford one, get one. With today’s energy prices it will pay for itself in time.

Great for stopping condensation on windows and wall. Not totally silent and a bit noisier when in dry clothes mode. Overall well worth buying

We dry the washing indoors in the winter and that can make the house damp. We use the drying setting for washing and it dries really well in a day. We also leave it on in cold weather and it fills up and keeps the kitchen dry, which means warmer. We leave it on overnight on the sensor setting and we have clear dry Windows in the morning. Worth every penny!

This is a very good machine and works very well. We have positioned it in the hall of our six room bungalow, we time it to come on during the night and it runs for around five hours. Only negative is noise, standing by it in silent mode it’s pretty good, but go into an adjoining room & you pick up a deep throbbing drone. Real shame, would have got 5 stars.

This is a sturdy, well built dehumidifier. It has wi-fi capability but so far I have I used the buttons on the top of device to operate it and these are clearly labelled and simple to use. I live in an old stone cottage that suffers from dampness in the Winter months and this works superbly. When I first bought it I ran it continuously (but with fan on the lowest “silent” setting) and it managed to pull about 10 or litres of water from the air in the first 2 days. That brought the relative humidity (RH) level shown on the display down from about 75% to 55-60%. I know run it with a set humidity level of 60% and it turns itself off when it gets below this. The air feels noticeably dryer, warmer and more comfortable with little/no condensation on walls and windows. So although it’s not cheap it is well worth the money. The large water tank means I only have to empty it about once per day or less. The only niggle is that the fan is not really silent in “silent” mode, but otherwise it is a great bit of kit (though I have only had it for less than a week). As others have said the customer support is top notch — I sent a query about the dehumidifier on a Sunday and they answered my query the very same day. That level of service is rare to find these days. Overall I highly recommend this product.

Crackin machine this. Due to the current energy situation which has led to us not having the heating on (hardly). We’ve exoerienced damp, mould ,condensation all over the place which led us to trying one of these. Coupled with the option of using it to dry clothes also. Well its brilluant. One problem room with humidity at 93% ouch. Got it down to 58. Great. Tried drying clothes, took about 6 hours but that was in a biggish room. Should really be in a small room with doors and windows shut. Will experiment!. Energy wise very surprised, some models are about 400+ watts, this one 240. I tested the useage with a smart plug that registers watts used. Over a 24 hour period at full blast this used 4.77w so at current electric values 34p equates to 1.62 a day. Not bad in my view if saving putting tumble dryer on ! Is quiet on quiet mode, noiser on other modes but thats to be expected. All in all a very good buy, recommended

Very impressed. It’s quiet, removes lots of water and is very well made.
Considering buying another for the cellar.

Very pleased with the results and would recommend. The worst room went from 75-80% to < 60%. Be aware it's a bit loud, even on the "silent" setting. I'd have bought a second if it was a bit cheaper.

Worth every penny!! Bought to dry clothes in winter to reduce drying.. definitely a brilliant investment would purchase agai

Bought this to replace a much smaller unit in a bedroom – but with the added thought of using it with a clothes horse to speed up drying non-tumble dryer clothes.

Positioned it in the lounge and it takes care of the whole house (3 bed terrace). It is an absolute godsend in wet weather for the clothes drying setting alone – what used to take a few days to dry now takes a few hours.

Emptying is a breeze – just let it fully fill up and then you combat the ‘drippers’ that look like a small leak after you remove the drain unit. The handle is the best feature, no more fumbling with a big box of sloshing water – just use the handle and gracefully carry it to the sink.

The unit is quiet enough even on full tilt. We haven’t had to turn the TV up or anything. On its lowest setting its barely noticeable.

The wifi/app aspect is pretty cool – being able to ramp it up or down remotely saves having to get up, and it’ll even tell you when its full.

The different settings are great – we mainly use Smart or Drying mode, as they suit our situation best.

I had to contact customer service as one of the wheels had cracked and fallen off – this didn’t affect anything in terms of how it worked. They answered my query during the weekend, a new wheel was ordered on the Monday and less than 24 hours later the wheel was in my hands all the way from Greece. Fitting was a breeze, just popped the old wheel off and popped the new one on with a satisfying, well built clunk.

These units are well built and seem to be pretty user serviceable – there’s even a video on Youtube of a chap taking one apart to do a deep clean on the fan unit.

Fantastic dehumidifier backed up by top notch customer service team, who care and go out of their way to find a suitable solution for your issue no matter how small.

I am still reviewing the product. Wil do the demo for home assistant.

Sucks out lots of water from the air and laundry dries in hours. Amazing! Not sure how much electricity it uses but I’m guessing less than tumble drying clothes.

Thought I would leave a review as the reviews left by other folks was so useful in my decision I thought I would add to that.

The unit is quiet. It was so quiet in an upstairs room which used to resonate through the floor compared to a previous unit that I initially didn’t think it was working properly, only the large amounts of water it collected proved that it was. Peace and quite for us and our neighbors as it does not buzz through the building.

The smart mode saves a tonne of electricity, it doesn’t run all of the time but still collects that water in the tank 🙂

If you switch it off it actually remembers the settings, this seems like a basic thing but you will be surprised how many cheep units don’t have this simple function.

It does it’s job and it does it well and that is all I need.

I often feel it’s very early to review such purchases. But given I have a comparison to make [replacing the ridiculously noisy* Meaco 12L Low Energy Platinum Dehumidifier] immediately, I’ll throw in my initial thoughts.

*Now 3+ years old and seemingly rattled itself to deaf [pun intended]!

Happily, the first thing I notice is the relatively blissful silent running. Of course, no condenser is actually Silent [despite the setting’s name!], but it’s considerably quieter than the Meaco – which even at its peak performance conspicuously lurched into life when it went from fan–>condenser and caused notable vibration through the floor to the room’s below.

So, noise overall? Silent is pretty quiet. Even sitting right next to it [on the computer now] the whirl is okay – and in the bedroom 15ft away it’s barely noticeable, with no vibration through the floor either [perhaps due to the castors lifting it from the floor?]. Medium setting picks up the noise level – but it’s all fan noise rather than any motor/vibration. Similarly, Turbo gets pretty lively, but it’s all fan noise again. And the fact that you can choose the settings makes all the difference … sitting next to the unit/at night, flick it to Silent and all good. [In the living room you could always hear the Meaco running, when the Inventor is on Silent you can’t.]

At all settings moisture extraction is exceptional. Again, finding moisture the tired Meaco is no longer removing, perhaps? Setting relative humidity manually to 55%, the Meaco would often fall silent, seemingly satiated. So far, the Inventor has rarely turned itself of at 55% setting – continually extracting moisture from the air. [Note: this might be down to setting the fan speed on Silent/Low the majority of the time, of course.]

One minor niggle, so far. Heat bioproduct. It might only be marginal, but it can noticeably affect the room temperature over time with it running continuously. [Put it this way, if I could turn the ancient radiator off in this room, I would!] To clarify … this is a two-bed semi with upstairs bathroom between, a short landing and open staircase; the unit sits just inside the rear bedroom which has no door. Heat always rises – but with the Hive thermostat downstairs set to 20.5C – the temperature in this room can easily rise to almost 25C, which is pretty warm. [Note: it’s always warmer in this room due to the open staircase/heat rising, though.]

I’ve only had the unit for a week, so still playing with the settings. I dare say, allowing it to be on Medium and/or Turbo for longer periods would presumably affect the machine’s running time and, therefore, the warm air generation. Having said that, it’s hard to imagine the Smart setting ever turning itself off in here, when it’s looking for 45C-55C?!! [e.g. It’s sat next to me and been on Turbo for a good fifteen minutes and the reading keeps dancing between 55C and 56C and has yet to turn off.]

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Dryer mode worked really impressively. In fact, overnight on Silent dried the adjacent damp clothes [hung from the door frame] really well, too.

Finally … manoeuvrability is really good [the castors a welcome addition, as it’s quite a heavy unit]. Detaching the tank is a wee bit fiddly – but you’d probably get used to it – although the handle is perfectly balanced, so even when full you shouldn’t spill the contents. Wi-Fi connectivity. Is it really necessary? I haven’t used it much – and probably won’t in this relatively small space where you’re always passing the unit. And, lastly, while nobody likely buys such a unit for appearance, it actually looks pretty good, too.
