Model
Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A
Rank #27 means 26 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 38th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 38% of those models.
What does the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A cost to run per year?
At $25 a year to run, the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A is among the cheapest dehumidifier models we track, ranking #27 of 519. Its 38th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is a step behind the class median, though not among the weakest results. At a IEF of 1.89, 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, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDY-32B at $25/yr runs a little cheaper and the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32B at $25/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, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A's $25/yr adds up to roughly $200 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Shinco YDZ-12P/3.
By the numbers
The Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A 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 $25/yr, here is what the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A 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, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A costs about $250. That is roughly $390 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $25/yr, it runs about $39 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $6 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 12 pints/day, the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture. Its IEF of 1.89, below 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). 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, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $25 a year it ranks #27 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A cost per month?
Roughly $2.12/mo, spreading the $25/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 137 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $25 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Waykar, Kesnos, Yaufey, Fehom YDZ-32A for its size?
38th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
