How efficient are Fehom models?
Portable air conditioners
Fehom KOW60A files CEER 5.9 Btu/Wh. The median among the 1,044 single hose portable ACs is 7.3, so it's below the median: higher than 6 of the 1,044.
Dehumidifiers
Of the 27 Fehom dehumidifiers, 14 file a higher IEF than the class median, 2 match it and 11 fall below it.
| DOE class | Fehom models | Above median | Class median | Best Fehom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 15 | 9 | IEF 1.7 | CHWA80B IEF 1.9 |
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 12 | 5 | IEF 1.91 | CHWA120B IEF 2.01 |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Fehom 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.
3 of the 28 Fehom basic models are filed under KESNOS' own model numbers (JD025N-120, JD025N-80 and JD026N-150).
Fehom shares 26 units with 5 other brands. Its other 2 basic models are filed by Fehom alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

How much do Fehom models cost to run?
For Fehom KOW60A, 4,500 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 5.9 is about 763 W while cooling. That's about 14¢ an hour ($33.24 for 30 days at 8 hours a day).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 27 Fehom dehumidifiers with both figures use 3.12 to 12.38 kWh a day. That's about 57¢ to $2.25 a day, or $17.02 to $67.46 for 30 days. The lowest is Fehom YDA-32A (12.48 pints/day, IEF 1.89) and the highest Fehom JD026L-150 (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 Fehom
- Is Fehom a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 27 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 3 are filed under another company's model number (see who makes them above). We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Fehom make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Fehom JD026L-150 at 49.72 pints/day. By DOE class: 15 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 12 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Fehom dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Fehom CHWA80B, at IEF 1.9: higher than 233 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end are Fehom YDA-120, Fehom YDG-120, Fehom YDW-120 and 2 more, at IEF 1.8, higher than 4 of the 296 in its class.
- Is Fehom the same as waykar?
- For 26 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (KOW60A, AD-22B0A3/TWR3-A7, AD-35C7A3/TWR3-B0, AD-50C4A3/TWR3-B0 and 22 more). The other 2 Fehom basic models aren't filed by waykar.
