Model
Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49
Rank #325 means 324 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 49th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 49% of those models.
What does the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 cost to run per year?
The Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 is a relatively costly runner for its class: about $72 a year, rank #325 of 519. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 49 is fairly typical for the class, neither a standout nor a laggard. At a IEF of 2.01, its integrated energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Keystone KSTAD354G at $72/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MAD35C1AWS-A at $72/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A dehumidifier typically stays in service for somewhere around 8 years; over that span, the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49's $72/yr adds up to roughly $576 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Keystone KSTAD354G, Midea MAD35C1AWS-A, Midea MDUDP-35AEN8-BB0.
By the numbers
The Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $72/yr, here is what the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 costs about $720. That is roughly $80 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $72/yr, it runs about $8 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $53 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 36.71 pints/day, the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 is a mid-size dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone. Its IEF of 2.01, above the class median of 2.01, reflects integrated energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- Integrated Energy Factor (IEF). Two dehumidifiers rated for the same pints per day can carry very different IEF figures, and IEF is what actually separates their running costs.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). Pints-per-day rating scales with the space it is built for, and that rating is the first driver of how much power the compressor needs.
- Humidistat accuracy. How tightly a humidistat holds its target humidity determines how much of the day the compressor actually runs, on top of the unit's rated capacity and IEF.
Common questions
Is the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 cheap to run?
Not especially. At $72 a year it ranks #325 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 cost per month?
Roughly $6/mo, spreading the $72/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 388 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $72 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Amazon Basics B0GR2L3R49 for its size?
49th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
