DGUAM V2
The DGUAM V2 is certified at 183 kWh per year, roughly $34 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Compared with the median certified dehumidifier, it uses 47% less electricity — rank 56 out of 481. The same unit costs $23 a year in North Dakota but $85 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
