PELONIS PAD40C1AWTS
The PELONIS PAD40C1AWTS is certified at 430 kWh per year, roughly $81 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 25% of the median certified dehumidifier (rank 305 of 481). The same unit costs $53 a year in North Dakota but $200 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
