Model
Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P
Rank #338 means 337 of the 519 dehumidifier models we track cost less to run each year; the 99th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 99% of those models.
What does the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P cost to run per year?
At $88 a year to run, the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P runs more expensively than most models in its class, ranking #338 of 519 dehumidifier models we track. Once capacity is factored in, it outperforms 99% of the dehumidifier models we track on efficiency, near the very top of the normalized ranking. At a IEF of 2.02, 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 Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6 at $88/yr runs a little cheaper and the Yoau; Shinco; Uhome SDZ1-150P at $88/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 YDZ-50P/S6P's $88/yr adds up to roughly $704 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P 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 $88/yr, here is what the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P costs about $880. That is roughly $240 more than the class median, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P compares
The dehumidifier class we track runs from $19 to $521 a year. At $88/yr, it runs about $24 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $69 a year more than the cheapest dehumidifier to run at $19.
What drives its running cost
At 50 pints/day, the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P is a large dehumidifier for its class, which spans 1.91 to 172.13 pints/day with a median of 32.46 pints/day, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. Its IEF of 2.02, above 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 Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P cheap to run?
Not especially. At $88 a year it ranks #338 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 Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P cost per month?
Roughly $7.35/mo, spreading the $88/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 475 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $88 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Yoau, Shinco, Uhome YDZ-50P/S6P for its size?
99th 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.
