What does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P cost to run per year?

The Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P costs about $63 a year to run, a fairly typical figure for the class; it ranks #247 of 519. Size-adjusted, this model beats 94% of dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, one of the stronger results in its class. The IEF figure of 2.02 on this model captures integrated energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.

Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aeocky RHEA-RCS32(Y)-N4-3 at $63/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome UDZ1-120P at $63/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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P's $63/yr adds up to roughly $504 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

What drives its running cost

At 35 pints/day, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P 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 2.02, 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). 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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P cheap to run?

Roughly, yes. Its $63/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #247 of 519, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.

How much does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P cost per month?

About $5.26 a month, which is the $63 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: 340 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $63 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-120P for its size?

94th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
