TCL T50DC3SP
The TCL T50DC3SP is certified at 516 kWh per year, roughly $95 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 53% more than the median dehumidifier (rank 411 of 519) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. Where you live moves the bill from $68 a year in Nevada to $272 in Hawaii.
