Model
Prikod DH-70SPI
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-70SPI cost to run per year?
The Prikod DH-70SPI is a relatively cheap runner for its class: about $54 a year, rank #206 of 519. Its 18th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is well below the class median, worth weighing against the raw cost figure above. At a IEF of 1.79, its integrated energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Prikod DH-70SIV at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Prikod DH-70SPII 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-70SPI's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Prikod DH-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI 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-70SPI for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
