Model
Midea MAD35S1QGR-A
Rank #293 means 292 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 57th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 57% of those models.
What does the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A cost to run per year?
The Midea MAD35S1QGR-A costs about $70 a year to run, a fairly typical figure for the class; it ranks #293 of 519. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of 57% of dehumidifier models we track, right in the class's middle band. Its IEF of 2.01 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Friedrich D35C1A at $70/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MAD35S1QWT-A at $70/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 Midea MAD35S1QGR-A's $70/yr adds up to roughly $560 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Midea MAD35S1QWT-A, Midea MC35MSKBA3RCM, Midea MDUDMB-35AEN8-BB0F.
By the numbers
The Midea MAD35S1QGR-A 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 $70/yr, here is what the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A costs about $700. That is roughly $60 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $70/yr, it runs about $6 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $51 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 35.82 pints/day, the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A 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, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost. 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). 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 Midea MAD35S1QGR-A cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $70/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #293 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A cost per month?
About $5.85 a month, which is the $70 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: 378 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $70 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Midea MAD35S1QGR-A for its size?
57th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
