What does the Yaufey JD025Q-120 cost to run per year?

At $70 a year to run, the Yaufey JD025Q-120 sits close to the middle of its class on cost, ranking #285 of 519 dehumidifier models we track. Once capacity is factored in, its 67th efficiency percentile puts it ahead of most peers in its class. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.

Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Waykar JD025CE-120 at $70/yr runs a little cheaper and the Friedrich D35C1A at $70/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 JD025Q-120's $70/yr adds up to roughly $560 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

What it costs you over time

Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $70/yr, here is what the Yaufey JD025Q-120 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.

1 year$70
5 years$350
10 years$700

Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Yaufey JD025Q-120 costs about $700. That is roughly $60 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.

How the Yaufey JD025Q-120 compares

What drives its running cost

At 35.78 pints/day, the Yaufey JD025Q-120 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, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class. 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). 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 Yaufey JD025Q-120 cheap to run?

It is about average. At $70 a year it ranks #285 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.

How much does the Yaufey JD025Q-120 cost per month?

Roughly $5.8/mo, spreading the $70/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 375 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $70 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Yaufey JD025Q-120 for its size?

67th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
