MegaLight PD-HPC750-WT

The MegaLight PD-HPC750-WT is certified at 472 kWh per year, roughly $87 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 40% above the median dehumidifier, ranked 347 of 519. The same unit costs $62 a year in Nevada but $249 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
