How efficient are KNDKO models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 32 KNDKO portable ACs, 8 file a higher CEER than the class median and 24 fall below it.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 11 KNDKO dehumidifiers, 6 file a higher IEF than the class median, 2 match it and 3 fall below it.

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

Who makes KNDKO 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.

KNDKO shares 41 units with 42 other brands. Its other 2 basic models are filed by KNDKO alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• Auseo41
• Electactic39
• COWSAR38
• Havato38
• KISSAIR38
• ZAFRO38
• Antarctic Star34

How much do KNDKO models cost to run?

While cooling, KNDKO portable ACs draw about 746 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $32.53 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is KNDKO OL-A016LN05N3 (5,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.1) and the highest KNDKO NPH-10C/X1E (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 11 KNDKO dehumidifiers with both figures use 2.33 to 11.71 kWh a day. That's about 42¢ to $2.13 a day, or $12.69 to $63.79 for 30 days. The lowest is KNDKO 42009EDE0-WHITE (9.45 pints/day, IEF 1.92) and the highest KNDKO 75026EDE0-WHITE-EL (49.74 pints/day, IEF 2.01).

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 KNDKO

Is KNDKO a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 11 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 11 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 KNDKO make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by KNDKO D026W-50Pt3M at 49.86 pints/day. By DOE class: 7 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 KNDKO dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

KNDKO OL25-D022CCN3B1/E, at IEF 2.04: higher than 251 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end is KNDKO D4212B, at IEF 1.31, higher than 63 of the 253 in its class.

Is KNDKO the same as Auseo?

For 41 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (A010L-8K, A011D2-10K, A011E-8K, A4208K-WHITE and 37 more). The other 2 KNDKO basic models aren't filed by Auseo.
