How much does the Invitop CS15Y1B5N73-02 cost to run?
About 96¢ a day, or $28.89 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).
15.58 pints/day is 7.37 liters. At an IEF of 1.39 L/kWh that takes 5.3 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 5¢.
How does the Invitop CS15Y1B5N73-02 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. 59 of them have a higher IEF than its 1.39, which is 19% below their median of 1.73. On cost, removing the same 15.58 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $23.28 for 30 days running nonstop, $5.61 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 1.39, this one files 7% above that floor. 63 of the 253 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).
