Model
Noma Iq 043-8847-6
Rank #272 means 271 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 81st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 81% of those models.
What does the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 cost to run per year?
At about $67 a year, the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 lands in the middle third of dehumidifier models we track on running cost, rank #272 of 519. Size-adjusted, this model beats 81% of dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, one of the stronger results in its class. 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 Noma 043-8818-6 at $67/yr runs a little cheaper and the Fridgemaster FMDH35KX 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 Noma Iq 043-8847-6's $67/yr adds up to roughly $536 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fridgemaster FMDH35KX.
By the numbers
The Noma Iq 043-8847-6 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 $67/yr, here is what the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 costs about $670. That is roughly $30 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $67/yr, it runs about $3 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $48 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 35.32 pints/day, the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 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. 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 Noma Iq 043-8847-6 cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $67/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #272 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 cost per month?
About $5.61 a month, which is the $67 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: 363 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $67 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Noma Iq 043-8847-6 for its size?
81st percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
