How much does the Santa Fe 4046180 cost to run?

About $4.83 a day, or $144.90 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

166.94 pints/day is 78.99 liters. At an IEF of 2.97 L/kWh that takes 26.6 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 27¢.

How does the Santa Fe 4046180 rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (whole home dehumidifiers), 10 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its IEF of 2.97 L/kWh is 1st of the 10, and 34% above their median of 2.22. On cost, removing the same 166.94 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $193.85 for 30 days running nonstop, $48.95 more than this one.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 2.97, this one files 68% above that floor. 2 of the 30 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).
