How efficient are KESNOS models?

Portable air conditioners

KESNOS KOW60A files CEER 5.9 Btu/Wh. The median among the 1,044 single hose portable ACs is 7.3, so it's below the median: higher than 6 of the 1,044.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 29 KESNOS dehumidifiers, 14 file a higher IEF than the class median, 2 match it and 13 fall below it.

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes KESNOS 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.

3 units are filed under KESNOS' own model numbers and sold by other brands too, so KESNOS is the filer of record for them.

KESNOS shares 26 units with 11 other brands. Its other 4 basic models are filed by KESNOS alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• waykar26
• Fehom25
• YAUFEY25
• SAHAUHY2
• Aqukesu1
• COWSAR1
• DEVERSE1
• Electactic1
• Foshan Hanyang1
• KISSAIR1
• ZAFRO1

How much do KESNOS models cost to run?

For KESNOS KOW60A, 4,500 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 5.9 is about 763 W while cooling. That's about 14¢ an hour ($33.24 for 30 days at 8 hours a day).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 29 KESNOS dehumidifiers with both figures use 1.82 to 12.38 kWh a day. That's about 33¢ to $2.25 a day, or $9.91 to $67.46 for 30 days. The lowest is KESNOS JD032N-22 (5 pints/day, IEF 1.3) and the highest KESNOS JD026N-150 (49.72 pints/day, IEF 1.9).

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 KESNOS

Is KESNOS a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 29 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 25 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 KESNOS make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by KESNOS JD026N-150 at 49.72 pints/day. By DOE class: 17 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 12 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.

Which KESNOS dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

KESNOS CHWA80B, at IEF 1.9: higher than 233 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end is KESNOS JD032N-22, at IEF 1.3, tied with 62 others at DOE's 1.30 minimum.

Is KESNOS the same as waykar?

For 26 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (KOW60A, AD-22B0A3/TWR3-A7, AD-35C7A3/TWR3-B0, AD-50C4A3/TWR3-B0 and 22 more). The other 4 KESNOS basic models aren't filed by waykar.
