How efficient are DuraComfort models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 6 DuraComfort portable ACs, 1 files a higher CEER than the class median, 1 matches it and 4 fall below it.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 5 DuraComfort dehumidifiers, 4 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 matches it.

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes DuraComfort 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.

DuraComfort shares 9 units with 16 other brands. Its other 2 basic models are filed by DuraComfort alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• TCL5
• Comfort Zone4
• SereneLife4
• LG3
• Feelfunn2
• Honeywell2
• Vagkri2
• waykar2
• Danby1
• EnerGlow1
• Gasbye1
• hOmeLabs1
• hykolity1
• Magnavox1
• Temprium1
• Vissani1

How much do DuraComfort models cost to run?

While cooling, DuraComfort portable ACs draw about 836 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 15¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $36.44 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is DuraComfort DP08CP (5,100 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.1) and the highest DuraComfort DP14CM (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 5 DuraComfort dehumidifiers with both figures use 2.56 to 11.7 kWh a day. That's about 47¢ to $2.12 a day, or $13.95 to $63.74 for 30 days. The lowest is DuraComfort DH08M (9.2 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest DuraComfort DH50PWB (49.7 pints/day, IEF 2.01).

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 DuraComfort

Is DuraComfort a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 5 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 3 of them are the same unit as another brand's model. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.

Does DuraComfort make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 3 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by DuraComfort DH50PWB at 49.7 pints/day. By DOE class: 2 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 3 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.

Which DuraComfort dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

DuraComfort DH25F, 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 DuraComfort DH08M, at IEF 1.7, higher than 94 of the 253 in its class.

Is DuraComfort the same as TCL?

For 5 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (TAC-05CPD/SL5, TAC-08CHPD/DM1(LC), TAC-10CHPD/DM1(LC), DFH1-50EPD and 1 more). The other 6 DuraComfort basic models aren't filed by TCL.
