Honeywell Home DHM090R4000
Under the DOE test basis, the Honeywell Home DHM090R4000 draws 556 kWh — about $102 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 64% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 498 of 519) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $73 a year in Nevada but $293 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
