Model
Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX
Rank #437 means 436 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 56th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 56% of those models.
What does the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX cost to run per year?
The Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX holds rank #437 of 519 on running cost, at about $97 a year, a genuinely pricey result for the class. Efficiency-wise, once size is accounted for, it sits right around the class median, ahead of 56% of the models we track. The IEF figure of 2.01 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Keystone KSTAD506PG at $97/yr runs a little cheaper and the Amazon Basics B0GR2TS1X4 at $97/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A dehumidifier typically stays in service for somewhere around 8 years; over that span, the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX's $97/yr adds up to roughly $776 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $97/yr, here is what the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX costs about $970. That is roughly $330 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $97/yr, it runs about $33 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $78 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.74 pints/day, the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.01, above the class median of 2.01, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Integrated Energy Factor (IEF). IEF measures liters of water removed per kilowatt-hour; a higher IEF means less energy per pint of moisture removed for a given capacity.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). A dehumidifier rated to remove more pints per day is built for a larger space or a more humid room, and generally draws more power to do it.
- Humidistat accuracy. A unit with a more precise humidistat cycles the compressor off once the target humidity is reached, rather than running continuously.
Common questions
Is the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX cheap to run?
Its $97/yr running cost, rank #437 of 519, is above what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX cost per month?
About $8.12 a month, which is the $97 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 525 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $97 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX for its size?
56th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
