How efficient are AVAHUM dehumidifiers?
Of the 3 AVAHUM dehumidifiers, 2 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 falls below it.
| DOE class | AVAHUM models | Above median | Class median | Best AVAHUM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 3 | 2 | IEF 1.91 | AM160 IEF 2.02 |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes AVAHUM 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 3 AVAHUM 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 AVAHUM alone.
How much does an AVAHUM dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 3 AVAHUM dehumidifiers with both figures use 11.67 to 12.41 kWh a day. That's about $2.12 to $2.25 a day, or $63.59 to $67.62 for 30 days. The lowest is AVAHUM AM160 (49.83 pints/day, IEF 2.02) and the highest AVAHUM DV160PB (48 pints/day, IEF 1.83).
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.
Questions about AVAHUM
- Is AVAHUM a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 3 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 3 are filed under AVAHUM alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does AVAHUM make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by AVAHUM AM160 at 49.83 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which AVAHUM dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- AVAHUM AM160, at IEF 2.02: higher than 272 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is AVAHUM DV160PB, at IEF 1.83, higher than 51 of the 296 in its class.
