How efficient are Amana dehumidifiers?
Of the 2 Amana dehumidifiers, 1 files a higher IEF than the class median and 1 falls below it.
| DOE class | Amana models | Above median | Class median | Best Amana |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 2 | 1 | IEF 1.91 | AMND501BW IEF 2.01 |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Amana dehumidifiers?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.
None of the 2 Amana basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to Amana alone.
How much does an Amana dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 2 Amana dehumidifiers with both figures use 11.61 to 12.36 kWh a day. That's about $2.11 to $2.24 a day, or $63.25 to $67.34 for 30 days. The lowest is Amana AMND501BW (49.32 pints/day, IEF 2.01) and the highest Amana AMND501AW (49.63 pints/day, IEF 1.9).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so these are the upper figures for a day of nonstop running.
At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.
How does Amana AMND501AW compare with other brands?
Picked by rule from models with a matched listing, DOE data as of 2026-11-03.
- Within 3 pints/day of its size, highest IEF: AGLUCKY D026W-50Pt3M, 49.86 pints/day. DOE class 25 to 50 pints/day, IEF 2.2: about 14% less power for the same water removal.
- Nearest size in its class with a higher IEF: Honeywell TPFIT50WK, 49.66 pints/day. DOE class 25 to 50 pints/day, IEF 2.01: about 5% less power for the same water removal.
- Nearest bigger unit: Frigidaire FHDP6033W1, 60.01 pints/day. DOE class over 50 pints/day, IEF 2.8.
Questions about Amana
- Is Amana a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 2 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. Both are filed under Amana alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Amana make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: Amana AMND501AW certifies 49.63 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Amana dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Amana AMND501BW, at IEF 2.01: higher than 161 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is Amana AMND501AW, at IEF 1.9, higher than 60 of the 296 in its class.
