Model
Hisense DH5023KXP
Rank #456 means 455 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 61st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 61% of those models.
What does the Hisense DH5023KXP cost to run per year?
The Hisense DH5023KXP holds rank #456 of 519 on running cost, at about $98 a year, a genuinely pricey result for the class. Efficiency-wise, once size is accounted for, it edges out 61% of the class, a modestly above-average showing. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Hisense AZHDTL50P at $98/yr runs a little cheaper and the Hisense DH5025KXW at $98/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 Hisense DH5023KXP's $98/yr adds up to roughly $784 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Hisense DH5023KXP 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 $98/yr, here is what the Hisense DH5023KXP adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Hisense DH5023KXP costs about $980. That is roughly $340 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Hisense DH5023KXP compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $98/yr, it runs about $34 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $79 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.95 pints/day, the Hisense DH5023KXP is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, among dehumidifier models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. Its IEF of 2.01, above the class median of 2.01, reflects integrated energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- 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 Hisense DH5023KXP cheap to run?
Its $98/yr running cost, rank #456 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 Hisense DH5023KXP cost per month?
About $8.14 a month, which is the $98 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: 526 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $98 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Hisense DH5023KXP for its size?
61st 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.
