Model
Prikod DH-70SII
Rank #206 means 205 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 18th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 18% of those models.
What does the Prikod DH-70SII cost to run per year?
At about $54 a year, the Prikod DH-70SII undercuts most dehumidifier models we track on running cost, rank #206 of 519. Efficiency-wise, once size is accounted for, it lags most of the class, ahead of only 18% of the models we track. The IEF figure of 1.79 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Prikod DH-70SI at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Prikod DH-70SIII at $54/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 Prikod DH-70SII's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Prikod DH-70SII 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 $54/yr, here is what the Prikod DH-70SII adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Prikod DH-70SII costs about $540. That is roughly $100 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Prikod DH-70SII compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $54/yr, it runs about $10 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $35 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24 pints/day, the Prikod DH-70SII 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 1.79 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). 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 Prikod DH-70SII cheap to run?
Yes. Its $54/yr running cost puts it at rank #206 of 519, below what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run.
How much does the Prikod DH-70SII cost per month?
About $4.49 a month, which is the $54 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: 290 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $54 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Prikod DH-70SII for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
