Healthy Climate HCWHD#-100

The Healthy Climate HCWHD#-100 is certified at 2,391 kWh per year, roughly $450 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 597% more electricity than the median dehumidifier, ranked 480 of 481. The same unit costs $295 a year in North Dakota but $1,115 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
