Model
Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25
Rank #189 means 188 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 36th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 36% of those models.
What does the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 cost to run per year?
Among the 519 dehumidifier models we track, the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 sits in the below-average-cost group, rank #189, at roughly $53 a year. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 36% of dehumidifier models we track, a soft spot worth weighing against the dollar figure. The IEF figure of 1.88 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aeocky RHEA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3-25 at $53/yr runs a little cheaper and the Aeocky LEO-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 at $53/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 Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25's $53/yr adds up to roughly $424 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 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 $53/yr, here is what the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 costs about $530. That is roughly $110 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $53/yr, it runs about $11 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $34 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24.79 pints/day, the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 is a mid-size dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost. The IEF of 1.88 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). 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 Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $53/yr running cost puts it at rank #189 of 519, below what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run.
How much does the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 cost per month?
About $4.41 a month, which is the $53 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: 285 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $53 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Easykey AQUA-RCS25 (Y)-N4-3-25 for its size?
36th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
