How efficient are Dreo models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 5 Dreo portable ACs, none files a higher CEER than the class median: 2 match it and 3 fall below it.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 3 Dreo dehumidifiers, 2 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 falls below it.

Air purifiers

Of the 11 Dreo air purifiers, 11 file a higher CADR/W than the class median.

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh. A higher CADR/W means more clean air per watt.

Who makes Dreo portable ACs, dehumidifiers and air purifiers?

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.

Dreo shares one unit with one other brand, AROEVE. Its other 18 basic models are filed by Dreo alone.

How much do Dreo models cost to run?

While cooling, Dreo portable ACs draw about 788 to 1,014 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 18¢ an hour, or $34.34 to $44.18 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Dreo DR-HAC008S (5,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.6) and the highest Dreo DR-HAC013S (7,400 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.3).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 3 Dreo dehumidifiers with both figures use 5.97 to 12.72 kWh a day. That's about $1.08 to $2.31 a day, or $32.54 to $69.28 for 30 days. The lowest is Dreo DR-HDH003S (22.09 pints/day, IEF 1.75) and the highest Dreo DR-HDH001S (49.72 pints/day, IEF 1.85).

DOE's annual energy figures for the 11 Dreo air purifiers that file one run from 102 to 282 kWh a year: about $18.52 to $51.21 a year. The lowest is Dreo DR-HAP006 (102 cfm, CADR/W 5.8) and the highest Dreo DR-HAP003S (294 cfm, CADR/W 6.2).

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 Dreo

Is Dreo a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 3 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 3 are filed under Dreo alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.

Does Dreo make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: Dreo DR-HDH001S certifies 49.72 pints/day. By DOE class: 1 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 Dreo dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

Dreo DR-HDH003S, at IEF 1.75: higher than 148 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end is Dreo DR-HDH001S, at IEF 1.85, higher than 56 of the 296 in its class.

Is Dreo the same as AROEVE?

For one unit, yes: both file it under the same DOE basic model (DR-HAP007S). The other 18 Dreo basic models aren't filed by AROEVE. Compare the 2 brands of DR-HAP007S.
