VEAGASO: 7 DOE certified models
VEAGASO has 7 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 6 dehumidifiers (6 to 10 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test) and 1 air purifier (smoke CADR 294 cfm). 2 are the same unit as models filed under other brands. How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.
Key findings
- Highest certified water removal among its dehumidifiers: VEAGASO VG380, VEAGASO VG600 and VEAGASO VG800 tie at 10 pints/day.

How efficient are VEAGASO models?
Dehumidifiers
Of the 6 VEAGASO dehumidifiers, none files a higher IEF than the class median: 6 fall below it.
| DOE class | VEAGASO models | Above median | Class median | Best VEAGASO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 6 | 0 | IEF 1.7 | BP04 IEF 1.45 |
Air purifiers
VEAGASO C500BR files CADR/W 5.4. The median among the 140 models in its DOE class (air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 150+ cfm) is 5.5, so it's below the median: higher than 66 of the 140.
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh. A higher CADR/W means more clean air per watt.
Who makes VEAGASO dehumidifiers and air purifiers?
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.
VEAGASO shares 2 units with 2 other brands. Its other 5 basic models are filed by VEAGASO alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:
| Basic model | VEAGASO model | Number belongs to | Brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| C500BR | C500BR | No known prefix | 2 |
| TZ02 | TZ02 | No known prefix | 2 |
How much do VEAGASO models cost to run?
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 6 VEAGASO dehumidifiers with both figures use 2.18 to 3.64 kWh a day. That's about 40¢ to 66¢ a day, or $11.90 to $19.83 for 30 days. The lowest is VEAGASO TZ02 (6 pints/day, IEF 1.3) and the highest VEAGASO VG380 (10 pints/day, IEF 1.3).
For VEAGASO C500BR, DOE's record lists 321 kWh a year, the annual energy figure from DOE's test. That's about $58.29 a year.
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 VEAGASO
- Is VEAGASO a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 6 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. One of them is 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 VEAGASO make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its largest, VEAGASO VG380, certifies 10 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which VEAGASO dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- VEAGASO BP04, at IEF 1.45: higher than 89 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). At the other end are VEAGASO TZ02, VEAGASO VG380, VEAGASO VG600 and 1 more, at IEF 1.3, 4 of the 63 at DOE's 1.30 minimum.
- Is VEAGASO the same as BAREN?
- For one unit, yes: both file it under the same DOE basic model (C500BR). The other 6 VEAGASO basic models aren't filed by BAREN. Compare the 2 brands of C500BR.
