How efficient are Homepointe dehumidifiers?
Of the 4 Homepointe dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 1 matches it and 3 fall below it.
| DOE class | Homepointe models | Above median | Class median | Best Homepointe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 3 | 0 | IEF 1.91 | MDUDP- |
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 1 | 0 | IEF 1.7 | MDUDP- |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Homepointe 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.
All 4 Homepointe basic models use Midea's model number prefix (MDUDP-22AEN8-BA7, MDUDP-35AEN8-BA9, MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9 and 1 more).
Homepointe shares 4 units with 3 other brands. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:
| Basic model | Homepointe model | Number belongs to | Brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDUDP- | MDUDP- | Midea (prefix) | 4 |

How much does a Homepointe dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 Homepointe dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.21 to 12.37 kWh a day. That's about $1.13 to $2.25 a day, or $33.83 to $67.38 for 30 days. The lowest is Homepointe MDUDP-22AEN1-BA7 (22.31 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest Homepointe MDUDP-50AEN1-BA9 (49.66 pints/day, IEF 1.9).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so these are the upper figures 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.

- Is Homepointe a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 4 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 Homepointe make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Homepointe MDUDP-50AEN1-BA9 at 49.66 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 Homepointe dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Homepointe MDUDP-22AEN1-BA7, at IEF 1.7: higher than 94 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end are Homepointe MDUDP-35AEN1-BA9, Homepointe MDUDP-50AEN1-BA9 and Homepointe MDUDP-50AEN1-BA9B, at IEF 1.9, higher than 60 of the 296 in its class.
