Model
Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3
Rank #240 means 239 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 68th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 68% of those models.
What does the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cost to run per year?
Ranking #240 of 519, the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 runs at roughly $62 a year, neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its class. Normalized for capacity, it beats 68% of dehumidifier models we track, a better-than-average efficiency result. Its IEF of 2.09 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Deciuu LIBRA-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 at $62/yr runs a little cheaper and the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3(B) at $62/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 Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3's $62/yr adds up to roughly $496 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Vellgoo TAURUS-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 $62/yr, here is what the Vellgoo TAURUS-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 Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 costs about $620. That is roughly $20 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $62/yr, it runs about $2 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $43 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 32 pints/day, the Vellgoo TAURUS-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, 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. The IEF of 2.09 on this model, above the class median of 2.01, measures integrated energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's IEF if capacity is similar.
- 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 Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cheap to run?
It is about average. At $62 a year it ranks #240 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 cost per month?
Roughly $5.18/mo, spreading the $62/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 335 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $62 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 for its size?
68th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
