How efficient are Fornido models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 32 Fornido portable ACs, 8 file a higher CEER than the class median and 24 fall below it.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 4 Fornido dehumidifiers, 2 file a higher IEF than the class median and 2 match it.

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

Who makes Fornido 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.

Fornido shares 35 units with 42 other brands. Its other basic model is filed by Fornido alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• Antarctic Star35
• Joy Pebble35
• Kismile35
• R.W.FLAME35
• Auseo34
• KNDKO34
• COWSAR32

How much do Fornido models cost to run?

While cooling, Fornido portable ACs draw about 746 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $32.53 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Fornido OL-A016LN05N3 (5,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.1) and the highest Fornido NPH-10C/X1E (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 Fornido dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.91 to 11.71 kWh a day. That's about $1.26 to $2.13 a day, or $37.65 to $63.79 for 30 days. The lowest is Fornido 75025EDE0-WHITE-EL (24.83 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest Fornido 75026EDE0-WHITE-EL (49.74 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 Fornido

Is Fornido a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 4 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 Fornido make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Fornido D026W-50Pt3M at 49.86 pints/day. By DOE class: 1 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 Fornido dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

Fornido D026W-50Pt3M, at IEF 2.2: higher than 293 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is Fornido 75025EDE0-WHITE-EL, at IEF 1.7, higher than 94 of the 253 in its class.

Is Fornido the same as Antarctic Star?

For 35 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (A010L-8K, A011D2-10K, A011E-8K, A4208K-WHITE and 31 more). The other Fornido basic model isn't filed by Antarctic Star.
