How efficient are Outdoor Air dehumidifiers?
Of the 4 Outdoor Air dehumidifiers, 3 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 matches it.
| DOE class | Outdoor Air models | Above median | Class median | Best Outdoor Air |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole home dehumidifiers (30) | 4 | 3 | IEF 2.13 | OA150 IEF 3.19 |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Outdoor Air 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.
None of the 4 Outdoor Air basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to Outdoor Air alone.
How much does an Outdoor Air dehumidifier cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 Outdoor Air dehumidifiers with both figures use 15.64 to 22.63 kWh a day. That's about $2.84 to $4.11 a day, or $85.20 to $123.28 for 30 days. The lowest is Outdoor Air OA100 (70.73 pints/day, IEF 2.14) and the highest Outdoor Air OA200 (142.99 pints/day, IEF 2.99).
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.
Questions about Outdoor Air
- Is Outdoor Air a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 4 are filed under Outdoor Air alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Outdoor Air make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 4 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Outdoor Air OA200 at 142.99 pints/day. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Outdoor Air dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Outdoor Air OA120, at IEF 2.28: higher than 23 of the 30 in its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers). At the other end is Outdoor Air OA200, at IEF 2.99, higher than 1 of the 5 in its class.
