Model
Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS
Rank #423 means 422 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 71st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 71% of those models.
What does the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS cost to run per year?
The Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS costs about $97 a year to run, well up the cost table for its class at rank #423 of 519. Efficiency-wise, once size is accounted for, it edges out 71% of the class, a modestly above-average showing. At a IEF of 2.01, 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 Midea MDUDA-50AEN8-BB0BF at $97/yr runs a little cheaper and the Black+Decker BDM50PWCDA at $97/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 Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS's $97/yr adds up to roughly $776 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Black+Decker BDM50PWCDA.
By the numbers
The Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS 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 $97/yr, here is what the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS costs about $970. That is roughly $330 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $97/yr, it runs about $33 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $78 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.95 pints/day, the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.01, above 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). 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 Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS cheap to run?
Its $97/yr running cost, rank #423 of 519, is above what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS cost per month?
About $8.04 a month, which is the $97 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: 520 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $97 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vissani VAD50PS1AWTS for its size?
71st percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
