Model
Ge ADSE35W**#
Rank #267 means 266 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 92nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 92% of those models.
What does the Ge ADSE35W**# cost to run per year?
The Ge ADSE35W**# holds rank #267 of 519 on running cost, at about $66 a year, an unremarkable but typical figure for the class. Few dehumidifier models we track beat it on size-adjusted efficiency; it edges out 92% of the class once capacity is normalized. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Waykar CTH120D at $64/yr runs a little cheaper and the Waykar CHWA120B at $67/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 Ge ADSE35W**#'s $66/yr adds up to roughly $528 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Ge ADSE35W**# 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 $66/yr, here is what the Ge ADSE35W**# adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ge ADSE35W**# costs about $660. That is roughly $20 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Ge ADSE35W**# compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $66/yr, it runs about $2 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $47 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 35.34 pints/day, the Ge ADSE35W**# 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. 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 Ge ADSE35W**# cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $66/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #267 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Ge ADSE35W**# cost per month?
About $5.49 a month, which is the $66 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: 355 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $66 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ge ADSE35W**# for its size?
92nd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
