How much does the YC3D12-MAX cost to run?

About 43¢ a day, or $12.96 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

9.05 pints/day is 4.28 liters. At an IEF of 1.8 L/kWh that takes 2.38 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 2¢.

How does the YC3D12-MAX 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. 27 of them have a higher IEF than its 1.8, which is 4% above 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 1.8, this one files 38% 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 YC3D12-MAX really remove?
9.05 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 YC3D12-MAX cost to run for 24 hours?
About 43¢ for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 2.38 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
