Uthfy HY9DE003
Under the DOE test basis, the Uthfy HY9DE003 draws 105 kWh — about $19 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. Only a handful of certified dehumidifiers do better: it ranks 19 of 533 and undercuts the median by 69%. The same unit costs $13 a year in Louisiana but $50 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
