Model
Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3
Rank #254 means 253 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 79th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 79% of those models.
What does the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cost to run per year?
At about $63 a year, the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 lands in the middle third of dehumidifier models we track on running cost, rank #254 of 519. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of 79% of dehumidifier models we track, a reasonably strong result for the class. At a IEF of 2.09, 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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDZ-35P/S6 at $63/yr runs a little cheaper and the Whirlpool WHAD321AW at $64/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 Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3's $63/yr adds up to roughly $504 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 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 $63/yr, here is what the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 costs about $630. That is roughly $10 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $63/yr, it runs about $1 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $44 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 33.13 pints/day, the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 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, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.09, above the class median of 2.01, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Integrated Energy Factor (IEF). IEF measures liters of water removed per kilowatt-hour; a higher IEF means less energy per pint of moisture removed for a given capacity.
- Water removal capacity (pints/day). A dehumidifier rated to remove more pints per day is built for a larger space or a more humid room, and generally draws more power to do it.
- Humidistat accuracy. A unit with a more precise humidistat cycles the compressor off once the target humidity is reached, rather than running continuously.
Common questions
Is the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $63/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #254 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cost per month?
About $5.29 a month, which is the $63 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 342 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $63 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Garvee SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 for its size?
79th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
