How efficient are GARVEE models?
Portable air conditioners
Of the 21 GARVEE portable ACs, 6 file a higher CEER than the class median, 1 matches it and 14 fall below it.
| Class | GARVEE models | Above median | Class median | Best GARVEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single hose portable ACs (1,044) | 20 | 6 | CEER 7.3 | JHS- |
| Dual hose portable ACs (334) | 1 | 0 | CEER 12.5 | TAC- |
Dehumidifiers
Of the 8 GARVEE dehumidifiers, 4 file a higher IEF than the class median, 1 matches it and 3 fall below it.
| DOE class | GARVEE models | Above median | Class median | Best GARVEE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 5 | 1 | IEF 1.7 | SAYRAM- |
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 3 | 3 | IEF 1.91 | SAYRAM- |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes GARVEE 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 units are filed under GARVEE's own model numbers and sold by other brands too, so GARVEE is the filer of record for them.
GARVEE shares 16 units with 34 other brands. Its other 13 basic models are filed by GARVEE alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

How much do GARVEE models cost to run?
While cooling, GARVEE portable ACs draw about 766 to 1,333 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 24¢ an hour, or $33.39 to $58.11 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is GARVEE KY-8K/07E (4,750 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.2) and the highest GARVEE JHS-A020B-10KR-D (10,800 BTU/h SACC, CEER 8.1).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 8 GARVEE dehumidifiers with both figures use 3.64 to 11.69 kWh a day. That's about 66¢ to $2.12 a day, or $19.83 to $63.70 for 30 days. The lowest is GARVEE D036-10PtA2/A1-D (10 pints/day, IEF 1.3) and the highest GARVEE G-AD50PT (49.67 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 GARVEE
- Is GARVEE a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 8 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. One of them is 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 GARVEE make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: GARVEE G-AD50PT certifies 49.67 pints/day. By DOE class: 5 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 GARVEE dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- GARVEE SAYRAM-RCS32(Y)-N4-3, at IEF 2.09: higher than 290 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is GARVEE D036-10PtA2/A1-D, at IEF 1.3, tied with 62 others at DOE's 1.30 minimum.
- Is GARVEE the same as ACEKOOL?
- For 11 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (JHS-A018H-08KR-D, JHS-A020B-09KR-D, JHS-A020B-10KR-D, NPLD3-05C/X1E and 7 more). The other 18 GARVEE basic models aren't filed by ACEKOOL.
