MOISWELL Admiral W160

The MOISWELL Admiral W160 is certified at 628 kWh per year, roughly $118 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 83% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 463 of 481) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. Where you live moves the bill from $78 a year in North Dakota to $293 in Hawaii.
