How much does the Fehom YDW-80 cost to run?
About $1.48 a day, or $44.48 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).
24.5 pints/day is 11.59 liters. At an IEF of 1.42 L/kWh that takes 8.16 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 8¢.
How does the Fehom YDW-80 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. 57 of them have a higher IEF than its 1.42, which is 18% below their median of 1.73. On cost, removing the same 24.5 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $36.61 for 30 days running nonstop, $7.86 less 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 1.42, this one files 9% 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 Fehom YDW-80 really remove?
- 24.5 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 Fehom YDW-80 cost to run for 24 hours?
- About $1.48 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 8.16 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
- Who makes the Fehom YDW-80?
- DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the record doesn't say. It does show 4 brands filing one basic model, YDW-80: Fehom, KESNOS, waykar and YAUFEY.
- Is the Fehom YDW-80 the same as the KESNOS 1?
- Yes, by DOE's records. KESNOS files 1 under the same basic model, YDW-80, with the same 24.5 pints/day. 2 other brands file it too.
