Model
Andte PD80K
Rank #100 means 99 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 36th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 36% of those models.
What does the Andte PD80K cost to run per year?
At $49 a year to run, the Andte PD80K is among the cheapest dehumidifier models we track, ranking #100 of 519. Its 36th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is a step behind the class median, though not among the weakest results. At a IEF of 1.75, 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 Ludatido PD10C2-25 at $49/yr runs a little cheaper and the Humilabs OL22-D076K at $50/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 Andte PD80K's $49/yr adds up to roughly $392 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Andte PD80K 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 $49/yr, here is what the Andte PD80K adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Andte PD80K costs about $490. That is roughly $150 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Andte PD80K compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $49/yr, it runs about $15 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $30 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 23 pints/day, the Andte PD80K is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, and smaller dehumidifier models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. Its IEF of 1.75, below 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 Andte PD80K cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $49 a year it ranks #100 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Andte PD80K cost per month?
Roughly $4.1/mo, spreading the $49/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 265 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $49 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Andte PD80K for its size?
36th 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.
