Model
Deye DYD-A10
Rank #26 means 25 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 5th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 5% of those models.
What does the Deye DYD-A10 cost to run per year?
At $24 a year to run, the Deye DYD-A10 is among the cheapest dehumidifier models we track, ranking #26 of 519. Its 5th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is well below the class median, worth weighing against the raw cost figure above. Its IEF of 1.75 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Waykar PD160B-G at $23/yr runs a little cheaper and the Shinco YDZ-12P/3 at $25/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 Deye DYD-A10's $24/yr adds up to roughly $192 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Deye DYD-A10 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 $24/yr, here is what the Deye DYD-A10 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Deye DYD-A10 costs about $240. That is roughly $400 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Deye DYD-A10 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $24/yr, it runs about $40 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $5 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 10.5 pints/day, the Deye DYD-A10 is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is. The IEF of 1.75 on this model, below the class median of 2.01, measures integrated energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's IEF if capacity is similar.
- Integrated Energy Factor (IEF). Two dehumidifiers rated for the same pints per day can carry very different IEF figures, and IEF is what actually separates their running costs.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). Pints-per-day rating scales with the space it is built for, and that rating is the first driver of how much power the compressor needs.
- Humidistat accuracy. How tightly a humidistat holds its target humidity determines how much of the day the compressor actually runs, on top of the unit's rated capacity and IEF.
Common questions
Is the Deye DYD-A10 cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $24 a year it ranks #26 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Deye DYD-A10 cost per month?
Roughly $2.04/mo, spreading the $24/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 132 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $24 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Deye DYD-A10 for its size?
5th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
