Model
Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P
Rank #247 means 246 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 94th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 94% of those models.
What does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P cost to run per year?
The Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P costs about $63 a year to run, a fairly typical figure for the class; it ranks #247 of 519. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 94 means the low running cost is not just a function of size; it is genuinely efficient for its class. Its IEF of 2.02 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P at $63/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDA-35P/S6 at $63/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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P's $63/yr adds up to roughly $504 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P.
By the numbers
The Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P 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 $63/yr, here is what the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P costs about $630. That is roughly $10 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $63/yr, it runs about $1 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $44 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 35 pints/day, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P 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. The IEF of 2.02 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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $63/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #247 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P cost per month?
About $5.26 a month, which is the $63 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: 340 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $63 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P for its size?
94th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
