How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, OL16-D068FFN2B1/E. DOE's definition of a basic model (10 CFR 430.2) covers "all units of a given type of covered product (or class thereof) manufactured by one manufacturer" with "the same primary energy source" and nearly identical "electrical, physical, and functional (or hydraulic) characteristics that affect energy consumption, energy efficiency, water consumption, or water efficiency." So one set of DOE figures covers every name on the list. All 3 brands file OL16-D068FFN2B1/E itself as their model number, so the number alone doesn't say which of them builds it.

Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E.

How much does the OL16-D068FFN2B1/E cost to run?

16 pints/day at an IEF of 1.89 L/kWh takes 4.01 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about 73¢ a day, or $21.82 for 30 days. Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure for a day of nonstop running.

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Who makes the OL16-D068FFN2B1/E, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Uthfy OL16-D068FFN2B1/E?
DOE's records don't say. The Uthfy OL16-D068FFN2B1/E is filed under basic model OL16-D068FFN2B1/E along with 2 other brands. All of them file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the Uthfy OL16-D068FFN2B1/E the same as the AKIRES OL16-D068FFN2B1/E?
Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model OL16-D068FFN2B1/E and list the same certified figures: 16 pints/day and IEF 1.89.
Which brand of OL16-D068FFN2B1/E is cheapest to run?
They tie: every brand files 16 pints/day and IEF 1.89, so each costs about 73¢ a day to run nonstop at DOE's test conditions.
