Invitop: 3 DOE certified models
Invitop has 3 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 2 dehumidifiers (15.58 to 22.03 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test) and 1 air purifier (smoke CADR 166 cfm). One is the same unit as models filed under other brands. How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.
Key findings
- Highest certified water removal among its dehumidifiers: Invitop BIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 at 22.03 pints/day.

How efficient are Invitop models?
Dehumidifiers
Of the 2 Invitop dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 2 fall below it.
| DOE class | Invitop models | Above median | Class median | Best Invitop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 2 | 0 | IEF 1.7 | BIBRA- |
Air purifiers
Invitop LEAF-JH350A1-A files CADR/W 5.5. The median among the 140 models in its DOE class (air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 150+ cfm) is 5.5, so it's right at the median: higher than 69 of the 140.
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh. A higher CADR/W means more clean air per watt.
Who makes Invitop dehumidifiers and air purifiers?
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.
Invitop shares one unit with one other brand, Afloia. Its other 2 basic models are filed by Invitop alone.
| Basic model | Invitop model | Number belongs to | Brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEAF 300 | LEAF- | No known prefix | 2 |
How much do Invitop models cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 2 Invitop dehumidifiers with both figures use 5.3 to 6.28 kWh a day. That's about 96¢ to $1.14 a day, or $28.89 to $34.21 for 30 days. The lowest is Invitop CS15Y1B5N73-02 (15.58 pints/day, IEF 1.39) and the highest Invitop BIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 (22.03 pints/day, IEF 1.66).
For Invitop LEAF-JH350A1-A, DOE's record lists 189 kWh a year, the annual energy figure from DOE's test. That's about $34.32 a year.
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 Invitop
- Is Invitop a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 2 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. Both are filed under Invitop alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Invitop make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its largest, Invitop BIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3, certifies 22.03 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.
- Which Invitop dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Invitop BIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3, at IEF 1.66: higher than 93 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end is Invitop CS15Y1B5N73-02, at IEF 1.39, higher than 79 of the 253 in its class.
- Is Invitop the same as Afloia?
- For one unit, yes: both file it under the same DOE basic model (LEAF 300). The other 2 Invitop basic models aren't filed by Afloia. Compare the 2 brands of LEAF 300.
