Model
Vissani VDHTL50P
Rank #461 means 460 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 58th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 58% of those models.
What does the Vissani VDHTL50P cost to run per year?
Rank #461 of 519 puts the Vissani VDHTL50P among the pricier dehumidifier models we track to keep running, at roughly $98 a year. Size-adjusted, this model sits close to the class median on efficiency, ahead of 58% of dehumidifier models we track. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Rona DH5026RPB at $98/yr runs a little cheaper and the Greenlite GL-DEH50R32 at $98/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 VDHTL50P's $98/yr adds up to roughly $784 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Hisense AZHDTL50P.
By the numbers
The Vissani VDHTL50P 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 $98/yr, here is what the Vissani VDHTL50P 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 VDHTL50P costs about $980. That is roughly $340 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Vissani VDHTL50P compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $98/yr, it runs about $34 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $79 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.89 pints/day, the Vissani VDHTL50P 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. Its IEF of 2.01, above 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 Vissani VDHTL50P cheap to run?
Its $98/yr running cost, rank #461 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 VDHTL50P cost per month?
About $8.14 a month, which is the $98 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: 526 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $98 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vissani VDHTL50P for its size?
58th 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.
