Compare the 3 brands on one pageHow much does the AprilAire E070 cost to run?
About $2.57 a day, or $77.19 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).
53 pints/day is 25.08 liters. At an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh that takes 14.17 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 14¢.
How does the AprilAire E070 rank in its DOE class?
In its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers), 10 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its IEF of 1.77 L/kWh is 10th of the 10, and 20% below their median of 2.22. On cost, removing the same 53 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $61.54 for 30 days running nonstop, $15.65 less than this one.
DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. This one files exactly that minimum. 2 of the 30 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).

Questions
- How many pints a day does the AprilAire E070 really remove?
- 53 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 AprilAire E070 cost to run for 24 hours?
- About $2.57 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 14.17 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
- Who makes the AprilAire E070?
- DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the record doesn't say. It does show 3 brands filing one basic model, E070: AprilAire, Anden and DriSteem.
- Is the AprilAire E070 the same as the Anden A70?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Anden files A70 under the same basic model, E070, with the same 53 pints/day. 1 other brand files it too.
