How efficient are GRIDR models?
Portable air conditioners
GRIDR JHS-A032-08KRA3/A1-D files CEER 7.3 Btu/Wh. The median among the 1,044 single hose portable ACs is 7.3, so it's right at the median: higher than 392 of the 1,044.
Dehumidifiers
GRIDR D026B-50Pt3M-P files IEF 2.01 L/kWh. The median among the 296 models in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day) is 1.91, so it's above the median: higher than 161 of the 296.
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes GRIDR 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.
None of the 2 GRIDR basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to GRIDR alone.
How much do GRIDR models cost to run?
For GRIDR JHS-A032-08KRA3/A1-D, 8,150 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.3 is about 1,116 W while cooling. That's about 20¢ an hour ($48.66 for 30 days at 8 hours a day).
GRIDR D026B-50Pt3M-P certifies 49.47 pints/day (23.41 liters) at an IEF of 2.01 L/kWh. That takes 11.65 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about $2.11 a day, or $63.45 for 30 days.
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure 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.
How does GRIDR JHS-A032-08KRA3/A1-D compare with other brands?
Picked by rule from models with a matched listing, DOE data as of 2026-11-03.
- Within 1,000 BTU/h of its size, highest CEER: Hisense HAP0825TWD, 8,000 BTU/h SACC. Up to 350 sq ft, dual hose, CEER 13.5: about 46% less power for the same cooling.
- Nearest size in its class with a higher CEER: Hisense AP0822CW1W, 8,150 BTU/h SACC. Up to 350 sq ft, single hose, CEER 8.2: about 11% less power for the same cooling.
- Nearest bigger unit: icyberboom RHKT14030, 9,200 BTU/h SACC. Up to 400 sq ft, single hose, heats, CEER 7.6.
Questions about GRIDR
- Is GRIDR a good dehumidifier brand?
- Its one dehumidifier basic model, GRIDR D026B-50Pt3M-P, certifies 49.47 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test, and its IEF of 2.01 is higher than 161 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does GRIDR make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its one model, GRIDR D026B-50Pt3M-P, certifies 49.47 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
