How efficient are Toshiba models?
Portable air conditioners
Of the 6 Toshiba portable ACs, 2 file a higher CEER than the class median and 4 fall below it.
| Class | Toshiba models | Above median | Class median | Best Toshiba |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single hose portable ACs (1,044) | 5 | 1 | CEER 7.3 | 327511934 CEER 7.9 |
| Dual hose portable ACs (334) | 1 | 1 | CEER 12.5 | 318747168 CEER 14.2 |
Dehumidifiers
Of the 5 Toshiba dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 1 matches it and 4 fall below it.
| DOE class | Toshiba models | Above median | Class median | Best Toshiba |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 4 | 0 | IEF 1.91 | 324232643 IEF 1.9 |
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 1 | 0 | IEF 1.7 | 324232641 IEF 1.7 |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Toshiba 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.
None of the 11 Toshiba 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 Toshiba alone.
How much do Toshiba models cost to run?
While cooling, Toshiba portable ACs draw about 845 to 1,266 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 15¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $36.83 to $55.17 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Toshiba 318747168 (12,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 14.2) and the highest Toshiba 327511934 (10,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 5 Toshiba dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.21 to 12.43 kWh a day. That's about $1.13 to $2.26 a day, or $33.83 to $67.74 for 30 days. The lowest is Toshiba 324232641 (22.31 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest Toshiba 315084748 (49.93 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 Toshiba
- Is Toshiba a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 5 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 5 are filed under Toshiba alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Toshiba make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 3 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Toshiba 315084748 at 49.93 pints/day. By DOE class: 1 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 Toshiba dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Toshiba 324232641, at IEF 1.7: higher than 94 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end are Toshiba 324232643, Toshiba 315084748, Toshiba 324232640 and 1 more, at IEF 1.9, higher than 60 of the 296 in its class.
