Model
Mora MNDH50TP
Rank #461 means 460 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 58th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 58% of those models.
What does the Mora MNDH50TP cost to run per year?
Not many dehumidifier models we track cost more to run than the Mora MNDH50TP: about $98 a year, rank #461 of 519. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 58% of dehumidifier models we track, a middling result. The IEF figure of 2.01 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Hisense TLDH5026PW at $98/yr runs a little cheaper and the Lg DT501BKR0 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 Mora MNDH50TP's $98/yr adds up to roughly $784 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Hisense AZHDTL50P.
By the numbers
The Mora MNDH50TP 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 Mora MNDH50TP adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Mora MNDH50TP 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 Mora MNDH50TP 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 49.89 pints/day, the Mora MNDH50TP is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. 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). 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 Mora MNDH50TP cheap to run?
Not especially. At $98 a year it ranks #461 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 Mora MNDH50TP 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 Mora MNDH50TP for its size?
58th 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.
