How efficient are Arctic Wind dehumidifiers?

Of the 2 Arctic Wind dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 2 fall below it.

A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes Arctic Wind 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 Arctic Wind 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 Arctic Wind alone.

How much does an Arctic Wind dehumidifier cost to run?

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 2 Arctic Wind dehumidifiers with both figures use 10.55 to 14.72 kWh a day. That's about $1.92 to $2.67 a day, or $57.47 to $80.17 for 30 days. The lowest is Arctic Wind 4AWD35 (35.67 pints/day, IEF 1.6) and the highest Arctic Wind 4AWD50 (49.76 pints/day, IEF 1.6).

Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so these are the upper figures for a day of nonstop running.

Nearest bigger unit: Frigidaire FHDP6033W1, 60.01 pints/day. DOE class over 50 pints/day, IEF 2.8.

Questions about Arctic Wind

Is Arctic Wind a good dehumidifier brand?: How its 2 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. Both are filed under Arctic Wind alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
Does Arctic Wind make a 50 pint dehumidifier?: Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: Arctic Wind 4AWD50 certifies 49.76 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
Which Arctic Wind dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?: Arctic Wind 4AWD35 and Arctic Wind 4AWD50 tie at IEF 1.6: tied with 2 others at DOE's 1.60 minimum.
