How efficient are KEGIAN models?
Portable air conditioners
Of the 2 KEGIAN portable ACs, 1 files a higher CEER than the class median and 1 falls below it.
| Class | KEGIAN models | Above median | Class median | Best KEGIAN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single hose portable ACs (1,044) | 2 | 1 | CEER 7.3 | HYMAC14CD1 CEER 7.9 |
Dehumidifiers
Of the 20 KEGIAN dehumidifiers, 20 file a higher IEF than the class median.
| DOE class | KEGIAN models | Above median | Class median | Best KEGIAN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 16 | 16 | IEF 1.7 | HY9DE003 IEF 1.92 |
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 4 | 4 | IEF 1.91 | HY35DE001 IEF 2.03 |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes KEGIAN 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.
KEGIAN shares 12 units with 26 other brands. Its other 10 basic models are filed by KEGIAN alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

How much do KEGIAN models cost to run?
While cooling, KEGIAN portable ACs draw about 909 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 17¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $39.62 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is KEGIAN HYMAC10CD1 (6,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.6) and the highest KEGIAN HYMAC14CD1 (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 20 KEGIAN dehumidifiers with both figures use 2.22 to 8.38 kWh a day. That's about 40¢ to $1.52 a day, or $12.08 to $45.68 for 30 days. The lowest is KEGIAN HY9DE003 (9 pints/day, IEF 1.92) and the highest KEGIAN HY35DE001 (35.97 pints/day, IEF 2.03).
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 KEGIAN
- Is KEGIAN a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 20 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 10 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 KEGIAN make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its largest, KEGIAN HY35DE001, certifies 35.97 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. By DOE class: 16 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 4 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which KEGIAN dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- KEGIAN HY35DE001, KEGIAN KE-HY35DE001, KEGIAN KE-OL35-D076FFN3B1/E and 1 more tie at IEF 2.03: higher than 280 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end are KEGIAN HY16DE002, KEGIAN HY16DE002-W, KEGIAN KE-HY16DE002 and 5 more, at IEF 1.89, higher than 215 of the 253 in its class.
- Is KEGIAN the same as Uthfy?
- For 12 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (NPH-10H/X1E, NPL-06C/X1E, HY16DE002, HY16DE002-W and 8 more). The other 10 KEGIAN basic models aren't filed by Uthfy.
