Model
Sahauhy WTE80A-025T
Rank #223 means 222 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 22nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 22% of those models.
What does the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T cost to run per year?
Among the 519 dehumidifier models we track, the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T's $55/yr running cost ranks it #223, close to dead center. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 22% of dehumidifier models we track, a soft spot worth weighing against the dollar figure. At a IEF of 1.7, 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 Kesnos JD025N-80 at $55/yr runs a little cheaper and the Waykar JD025CE-80 at $55/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 Sahauhy WTE80A-025T's $55/yr adds up to roughly $440 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fehom JD025L-80.
By the numbers
The Sahauhy WTE80A-025T 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 $55/yr, here is what the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T costs about $550. That is roughly $90 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $55/yr, it runs about $9 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $36 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24.93 pints/day, the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T is a mid-size dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost. The IEF of 1.7 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 Sahauhy WTE80A-025T cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $55/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #223 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T cost per month?
About $4.62 a month, which is the $55 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: 299 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $55 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Sahauhy WTE80A-025T for its size?
22nd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
