How efficient are ARECOVAS dehumidifiers?

Of the 4 ARECOVAS dehumidifiers, 3 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 falls below it.

ARECOVAS dehumidifiers against the median IEF (L/kWh) of their DOE class. DOE data as of 2026-11-03.
DOE class	ARECOVAS models	Above median	Class median	Best ARECOVAS
Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253)	2	2	IEF 1.7	EE250006 IEF 1.88
Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296)	2	1	IEF 1.91	EE250005 IEF 2.15

A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes ARECOVAS 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 4 ARECOVAS 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 ARECOVAS alone.

How much does an ARECOVAS dehumidifier cost to run?

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 ARECOVAS dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.22 to 9.2 kWh a day. That's about $1.13 to $1.67 a day, or $33.88 to $50.13 for 30 days. The lowest is ARECOVAS AR-DF002 (23 pints/day, IEF 1.75) and the highest ARECOVAS AR-DF003 (35 pints/day, IEF 1.8).

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

Questions about ARECOVAS

Is ARECOVAS a good dehumidifier brand?: How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 4 are filed under ARECOVAS alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
Does ARECOVAS make a 50 pint dehumidifier?: No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its largest, ARECOVAS AR-DF003, certifies 35 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. By DOE class: 2 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 2 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
Which ARECOVAS dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?: ARECOVAS EE250005, at IEF 2.15: higher than 292 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is ARECOVAS AR-DF003, at IEF 1.8, higher than 4 of the 296 in its class.
