Model
Prikod DH-70SPIV
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-70SPIV cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Prikod DH-70SPIV's $54/yr puts it at rank #206 of 519, on the cheaper side of the class. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 18% of dehumidifier models we track, so its headline cost is mostly a function of its capacity rather than efficiency. 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-70SPIII at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Prikod DH-70SPV 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-70SPIV's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Prikod DH-70SPIV 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-70SPIV 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-70SPIV 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-70SPIV 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-70SPIV 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. Beyond size, its IEF of 1.79, below the class median of 2.01, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- 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-70SPIV 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-70SPIV 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-70SPIV for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
