Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BB0B

The Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BB0B is certified at 518 kWh per year, roughly $98 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 51% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 382 of 481) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $64 a year in North Dakota but $241 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
