#1Most Efficient
AlorAir Sentinel Pro35X
21.27 pints/day · 242 kWh/yr
173 20-29 pints Dehumidifiers, Ranked by Running Cost
Portable dehumidifiers removing 20-29 pints/day under the current DOE test (Appendix X1), sold in the US. Ranked cheapest to run first, estimated at 18.31¢/kWh (July 2026).
This is the current DOE test rating, not the old box number. Since 2019, capacity is measured at 65°F (Appendix X1), which reads lower than the old 80°F test — a "50-pint" unit by the old rating now certifies around 30-35 pints here; a "70-pint" unit around 50.
173 ENERGY STAR certified models, from about $44 to $162 a year to run at the US average electricity rate. See how we calculate running costs.
