What does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 cost to run per year?

Ranking #155 of 519, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 is in the cheaper half of its class to run, at about $52 a year. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 26% of dehumidifier models we track, so part of its running cost comes from its capacity rather than efficiency alone. Its IEF of 1.76 reflects integrated energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.

Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN1-25P/S6 at $52/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-25P/6 at $52/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 YDN-24P/6's $52/yr adds up to roughly $416 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

Also sold as: Waykar; Kesnos; Yaufey; Fehom YDA-80.

What it costs you over time

Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $52/yr, here is what the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.

1 year$52
5 years$260
10 years$520

Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 costs about $520. That is roughly $120 less than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.

What drives its running cost

At 24 pints/day, the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 is a small dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is. Beyond size, its IEF of 1.76, below 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 Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 cheap to run?

Yes, relatively. At $52 a year it ranks #155 of 519 dehumidifier models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.

How much does the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 cost per month?

Roughly $4.36/mo, spreading the $52/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 282 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $52 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome YDN-24P/6 for its size?

26th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
