Waykar CTH150PB

The Waykar CTH150PB 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. Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 53% more electricity than the median dehumidifier, ranked 417 of 519. The same unit costs $68 a year in Nevada but $272 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
