Model
Waykar JD025CE-80
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 Waykar JD025CE-80 cost to run per year?
At $55 a year to run, the Waykar JD025CE-80 sits close to the middle of its class on cost, ranking #223 of 519 dehumidifier models we track. Its 22th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is a step behind the class median, though not among the weakest results. 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 Sahauhy WTE80A-025T at $55/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yaufey JD025Q-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 Waykar JD025CE-80'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 Waykar JD025CE-80 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 Waykar JD025CE-80 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Waykar JD025CE-80 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 Waykar JD025CE-80 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 Waykar JD025CE-80 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, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone. Beyond size, its IEF of 1.7, below 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). Two dehumidifiers rated for the same pints per day can carry very different IEF figures, and IEF is what actually separates their running costs.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). Pints-per-day rating scales with the space it is built for, and that rating is the first driver of how much power the compressor needs.
- Humidistat accuracy. How tightly a humidistat holds its target humidity determines how much of the day the compressor actually runs, on top of the unit's rated capacity and IEF.
Common questions
Is the Waykar JD025CE-80 cheap to run?
It is about average. At $55 a year it ranks #223 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Waykar JD025CE-80 cost per month?
Roughly $4.62/mo, spreading the $55/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 299 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $55 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Waykar JD025CE-80 for its size?
22nd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
