How much does the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E cost to run?
About 73¢ a day, or $21.82 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).
16 pints/day is 7.57 liters. At an IEF of 1.89 L/kWh that takes 4.01 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the daily figure by 4¢.
How does the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E rank in its DOE class?
In its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day), 78 models have a matched Amazon listing, not counting 1 filing flagged as unusual. Its IEF of 1.89 L/kWh is tied for 10th of the 78, and 10% above their median of 1.73. On cost, removing the same 16 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $23.91 for 30 days running nonstop, $2.09 more than this one.
DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.30 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 1.89, this one files 45% above that floor. 63 of the 253 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).

Questions
- How many pints a day does the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E really remove?
- 16 pints/day, as certified to DOE under the 2019 test (65°F, 60% humidity). The older test ran at 80°F, so a rating from it reads higher for the same unit: the 2019 test explained.
- How much does the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E cost to run for 24 hours?
- About 73¢ for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 4.01 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
- Who makes the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E?
- DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the record doesn't say. It does show 3 brands filing one basic model, OL16-D068FFN2B1/E: AKIRES, Uthfy and KEGIAN.
- Is the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E the same as the Uthfy OL16-D068FFN2B1/E?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Uthfy files the same basic model, OL16-D068FFN2B1/E, with the same 16 pints/day. 1 other brand files it too.
