Model
Prikod DH-70SIII
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-70SIII cost to run per year?
Ranking #206 of 519, the Prikod DH-70SIII is in the cheaper half of its class to run, at about $54 a year. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 18% of dehumidifier models we track, one of the weaker efficiency results we track for the class. 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-70SII at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Prikod DH-70SIV 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-70SIII's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Prikod DH-70SIII 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-70SIII 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-70SIII 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-70SIII 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-70SIII is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture. Its IEF of 1.79, below 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 Prikod DH-70SIII cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $54 a year it ranks #206 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Prikod DH-70SIII cost per month?
Roughly $4.49/mo, spreading the $54/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 290 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $54 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Prikod DH-70SIII for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
