Bosch Dry 4000

The Bosch Dry 4000 is certified at 365 kWh per year, roughly $69 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. That's close to the middle of the certified pack — about 6% above the median dehumidifier, ranked 258 of 481. The same unit costs $45 a year in North Dakota but $170 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
