How much does the ARECOVAS EE250005 cost to run?

About $1.34 a day, or $40.31 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

33.62 pints/day is 15.91 liters. At an IEF of 2.15 L/kWh that takes 7.4 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 7¢.

How does the ARECOVAS EE250005 rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day), 73 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its IEF of 2.15 L/kWh is 3rd of the 73, and 7% above their median of 2.01. On cost, removing the same 33.62 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $43.12 for 30 days running nonstop, $2.81 more than this one.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.60 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 2.15, this one files 34% above that floor. 3 of the 296 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).

Questions

How many pints a day does the ARECOVAS EE250005 really remove?
33.62 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 ARECOVAS EE250005 cost to run for 24 hours?
About $1.34 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 7.4 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
