Model
Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH
Rank #61 means 60 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 15th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 15% of those models.
What does the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH cost to run per year?
Few dehumidifier models we track cost less to run than the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH: about $36 a year, rank #61 of 519. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 15% of dehumidifier models we track, one of the weaker efficiency results we track for the class. The IEF figure of 1.76 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Andte PD50K at $36/yr runs a little cheaper and the Keepglad FDD20-5270ZV1R5-E at $36/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 Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH's $36/yr adds up to roughly $288 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH 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 $36/yr, here is what the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH costs about $360. That is roughly $280 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $36/yr, it runs about $28 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $17 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 15.84 pints/day, the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is. The IEF of 1.76 on this model, below the class median of 2.01, measures integrated energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's IEF if capacity is similar.
- 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 Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $36 a year it ranks #61 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH cost per month?
Roughly $3/mo, spreading the $36/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 194 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $36 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ogacfo YOLFHM079WH for its size?
15th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
