How efficient is the Aqukesu D032-05PtA2/C1-D?
Aqukesu D032-05PtA2/C1-D files IEF 1.3 L/kWh. The median among the 253 models in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day) is 1.7, so it's below the median: tied with 62 others at DOE's 1.30 minimum.
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Aqukesu 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.
Aqukesu shares its basic model with 7 other brands. The other brands:
| Basic model | Aqukesu model | Number belongs to | Brands |

How much does an Aqukesu dehumidifier cost to run?
Aqukesu D032-05PtA2/C1-D certifies 5 pints/day (2.37 liters) at an IEF of 1.3 L/kWh. That takes 1.82 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about 33¢ a day, or $9.91 for 30 days.
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure 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.

Questions about Aqukesu
- Is Aqukesu a good dehumidifier brand?
- Its one dehumidifier basic model, Aqukesu D032-05PtA2/C1-D, certifies 5 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test, and its IEF of 1.3 is tied with 62 others at DOE's 1.30 minimum. It's the same unit as another brand's model. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Aqukesu make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its one model, Aqukesu D032-05PtA2/C1-D, certifies 5 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Is Aqukesu the same as COWSAR?
- For one unit, yes: both file it under the same DOE basic model (D032-05PtA2/F1-D). Compare the 8 brands of D032-05PtA2/F1-D.
