TCL T25DC9R

The TCL T25DC9R is certified at 283 kWh per year, roughly $52 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. That's 16% less than the median certified dehumidifier, placing it comfortably in the efficient third of the field (172 of 519). The same unit costs $37 a year in Nevada but $149 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
