How much does the Pelonis PAD40C1AWTS cost to run?

About $1.79 a day, or $53.60 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

41.79 pints/day is 19.77 liters. At an IEF of 2.01 L/kWh that takes 9.84 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 10¢.

How does the Pelonis PAD40C1AWTS rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day), 73 models have a matched Amazon listing. 11 of them have a higher IEF than its 2.01, which is level with their median of 2.01.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.60 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 2.01, this one files 26% 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 Pelonis PAD40C1AWTS really remove?
41.79 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 Pelonis PAD40C1AWTS cost to run for 24 hours?
About $1.79 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 9.84 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
