Model
Yaufey AYD1.5D
Rank #206 means 205 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 18th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 18% of those models.
What does the Yaufey AYD1.5D cost to run per year?
Among the 519 dehumidifier models we track, the Yaufey AYD1.5D sits in the below-average-cost group, rank #206, at roughly $54 a year. Size-adjusted, this model ranks near the bottom of its class on efficiency, ahead of just 18% of dehumidifier models we track. The IEF figure of 1.79 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Waykar AFD1.5D at $54/yr runs a little cheaper and the Homelabs HME0088 at $54/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 Yaufey AYD1.5D's $54/yr adds up to roughly $432 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fehom AHR1.5D.
By the numbers
The Yaufey AYD1.5D 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 $54/yr, here is what the Yaufey AYD1.5D adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Yaufey AYD1.5D costs about $540. That is roughly $100 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Yaufey AYD1.5D compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $54/yr, it runs about $10 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $35 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24 pints/day, the Yaufey AYD1.5D is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, and smaller dehumidifier models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. Its IEF of 1.79, below 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 Yaufey AYD1.5D cheap to run?
Yes. Its $54/yr running cost puts it at rank #206 of 519, below what most dehumidifier models we track cost to run.
How much does the Yaufey AYD1.5D cost per month?
About $4.49 a month, which is the $54 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: 290 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $54 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Yaufey AYD1.5D for its size?
18th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
