Model
Hisense DH5025KXW
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 DH5025KXW cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Hisense DH5025KXW's $98/yr puts it at rank #456 of 519, one of the costlier dehumidifier models we track to keep running. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 61% of dehumidifier models we track, a solidly above-average result. At a IEF of 2.01, its integrated energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Hisense DH5023KXP at $98/yr runs a little cheaper and the Hisense DH5026K1W 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 DH5025KXW's $98/yr adds up to roughly $784 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Hisense DH5025KXW 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 DH5025KXW 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 DH5025KXW 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 DH5025KXW 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 DH5025KXW 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). 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 Hisense DH5025KXW cheap to run?
Not especially. At $98 a year it ranks #456 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Hisense DH5025KXW cost per month?
Roughly $8.14/mo, spreading the $98/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 526 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $98 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Hisense DH5025KXW 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.
