DENBIG: 8 DOE certified models
DENBIG has 8 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 6 portable ACs (5,000 to 10,800 BTU/h SACC) and 2 dehumidifiers (35.57 to 49.72 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test). 5 are the same unit as models filed under other brands. How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.
Key findings
- Highest certified cooling capacity among its portable ACs: DENBIG JHS-A020B-10KR-D3 at 10,800 BTU/h SACC.

How efficient are DENBIG models?
Portable air conditioners
Of the 6 DENBIG portable ACs, 1 files a higher CEER than the class median, 1 matches it and 4 fall below it.
| Class | DENBIG models | Above median | Class median | Best DENBIG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single hose portable ACs (1,044) | 6 | 1 | CEER 7.3 | JHS- |
Dehumidifiers
Of the 2 DENBIG dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 1 matches it and 1 falls below it.
| DOE class | DENBIG models | Above median | Class median | Best DENBIG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 2 | 0 | IEF 1.91 | D025P- |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes DENBIG portable ACs and 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.
2 of the 8 DENBIG basic models are filed under another company's number: 1 under JHS' own model number and 1 under GARVEE's own model number.
One unit is filed under DENBIG's own model number and sold by other brands too, so DENBIG is the filer of record for it.
DENBIG shares 5 units with 13 other brands. Its other 3 basic models are filed by DENBIG alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:
| Basic model | DENBIG model | Number belongs to | Brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| JHS- | JHS- | GARVEE | 4 |
| JHS- | JHS- | JHS | 2 |
| JHS- | JHS- | No known prefix | 12 |
| JHS- | JHS- | No known prefix | 4 |

How much do DENBIG models cost to run?
While cooling, DENBIG portable ACs draw about 785 to 1,333 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 24¢ an hour, or $34.20 to $58.11 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is DENBIG JHS-A019G-5KR-D3 (5,100 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.5) and the highest DENBIG JHS-A020B-10KR-D3 (10,800 BTU/h SACC, CEER 8.1).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 2 DENBIG dehumidifiers with both figures use 8.81 to 12.38 kWh a day. That's about $1.60 to $2.25 a day, or $48.01 to $67.46 for 30 days. The lowest is DENBIG D025P-35PT3 (35.57 pints/day, IEF 1.91) and the highest DENBIG D026P-50PT3-P (49.72 pints/day, IEF 1.9).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so the dehumidifier figures are the upper end 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 DENBIG
- Is DENBIG a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 2 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. Both are filed under DENBIG alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does DENBIG make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: DENBIG D026P-50PT3-P certifies 49.72 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which DENBIG dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- DENBIG D025P-35PT3, at IEF 1.91: higher than 146 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is DENBIG D026P-50PT3-P, at IEF 1.9, higher than 60 of the 296 in its class.
- Is DENBIG the same as JHS?
- For 4 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (JHS-A016B1-06KR-D3, JHS-A018H-08KR-D, JHS-A019K-05KR-D3 and JHS-A020B-10KR-D). The other 4 DENBIG basic models aren't filed by JHS.
