Model
Hisense ADH25K26
Rank #235 means 234 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 5th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 5% of those models.
What does the Hisense ADH25K26 cost to run per year?
Among the 519 dehumidifier models we track, the Hisense ADH25K26's $58/yr running cost ranks it #235, close to dead center. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 5% of dehumidifier models we track, a clearly below-average result. Its IEF of 1.7 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Lg DT251BWR0 at $57/yr runs a little cheaper and the Hisense DH2526K1W at $58/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 Hisense ADH25K26's $58/yr adds up to roughly $464 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Hisense OSD2526.
By the numbers
The Hisense ADH25K26 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 $58/yr, here is what the Hisense ADH25K26 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Hisense ADH25K26 costs about $580. That is roughly $60 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Hisense ADH25K26 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $58/yr, it runs about $6 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $39 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 24.89 pints/day, the Hisense ADH25K26 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 1.7, below 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 Hisense ADH25K26 cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $58/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #235 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Hisense ADH25K26 cost per month?
About $4.86 a month, which is the $58 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: 314 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $58 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Hisense ADH25K26 for its size?
5th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
