How much does the Danby DDR020BJ2WDB cost to run?

About $1.13 a day, or $33.83 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

22.31 pints/day is 10.56 liters. At an IEF of 1.7 L/kWh that takes 6.21 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 6¢.

How does the Danby DDR020BJ2WDB 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 1.7 L/kWh is tied for 40th of the 78, and 1% below their median of 1.73.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.30 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 1.7, this one files 31% 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 Danby DDR020BJ2WDB really remove?
22.31 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 Danby DDR020BJ2WDB cost to run for 24 hours?
About $1.13 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 6.21 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
