Fehom AHR1.5D
The Fehom AHR1.5D is certified at 290 kWh per year, roughly $55 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 15% under the median dehumidifier, ranked 191 of 481. The same unit costs $36 a year in North Dakota but $135 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
