Model
Prikod DH-70SV
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-70SV cost to run per year?
The Prikod DH-70SV costs about $54 a year to run, which beats most of the 519 dehumidifier models we track; it ranks #206. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 18% of dehumidifier models we track, a clearly below-average result. 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-70SPV at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Fehom AHR1.5D 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-70SV's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fehom AHR1.5D.
By the numbers
The Prikod DH-70SV 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-70SV 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-70SV 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-70SV 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-70SV is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, and smaller dehumidifier models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. 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). 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-70SV 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-70SV 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-70SV for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
