Model
Waykar JD026CE-150PM
Rank #365 means 364 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 88th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 88% of those models.
What does the Waykar JD026CE-150PM cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Waykar JD026CE-150PM's $94/yr puts it at rank #365 of 519, on the pricier side of the class. Adjusted for its ief, it is more efficient than 88% of dehumidifier models we track, a strong result once size is taken into account. At a IEF of 2.01, 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 Waykar JD026CE-150 at $94/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yaufey JD026R-150 at $94/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 Waykar JD026CE-150PM's $94/yr adds up to roughly $752 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fehom JD026L-150.
By the numbers
The Waykar JD026CE-150PM 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 $94/yr, here is what the Waykar JD026CE-150PM adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Waykar JD026CE-150PM costs about $940. That is roughly $300 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Waykar JD026CE-150PM compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $94/yr, it runs about $30 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $75 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 49.47 pints/day, the Waykar JD026CE-150PM 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. Beyond size, its IEF of 2.01, 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). 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 Waykar JD026CE-150PM cheap to run?
Not especially. At $94 a year it ranks #365 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Waykar JD026CE-150PM cost per month?
Roughly $7.84/mo, spreading the $94/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 507 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $94 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Waykar JD026CE-150PM for its size?
88th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
