Model
Vissani VADA50P5HWT
Rank #413 means 412 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 74th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 74% of those models.
What does the Vissani VADA50P5HWT cost to run per year?
At roughly $96 a year to run, ranking #413 of 519, the Vissani VADA50P5HWT costs more than the typical dehumidifier model we track. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of 74% of dehumidifier models we track, a reasonably strong result for the class. The IEF figure of 2.01 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Ge ADSE50X**# at $96/yr runs a little cheaper and the Frigidaire FHDD5033Y1 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 VADA50P5HWT's $96/yr adds up to roughly $768 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Vissani VADA50P5HWT 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 $96/yr, here is what the Vissani VADA50P5HWT 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 VADA50P5HWT costs about $960. That is roughly $320 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Vissani VADA50P5HWT compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $96/yr, it runs about $32 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $77 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.95 pints/day, the Vissani VADA50P5HWT is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, among dehumidifier models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. The IEF of 2.01 on this model, above 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 Vissani VADA50P5HWT cheap to run?
Its $96/yr running cost, rank #413 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 VADA50P5HWT cost per month?
About $8.03 a month, which is the $96 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: 519 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $96 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vissani VADA50P5HWT for its size?
74th 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.
