The filings

DOE lists 7 individual model numbers under basic model DFL1-32ED, filed under 4 brand names. The filings don't all match. Pints/day: 32.46 pints/day (4 brands) and 32 pints/day (TCL). The headline figure on this page is the one most filings list, and the table shows each brand's own.

How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, DFL1-32ED. 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. No brand files DFL1-32ED itself as a model number. It's the code DOE uses to tie their filings together.

Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: Honeywell TPFIT32WK.

How much does the DFL1-32ED cost to run?

32.46 pints/day at an IEF of 2.01 L/kWh takes 7.64 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about $1.39 a day, or $41.63 for 30 days. Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure for a day of nonstop running. The filings differ, so the cost does too: lowest for TCL ($1.37 a day), highest for 3 brands ($1.39 a day).

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.

Among 296 portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day

Who makes the DFL1-32ED, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the hOmeLabs HME0089?

DOE's records don't say. The hOmeLabs HME0089 is filed under basic model DFL1-32ED along with 3 other brands. No brand files DFL1-32ED itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.

Is the hOmeLabs HME0089 the same as the Honeywell TPFIT32AWK?

Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model DFL1-32ED and list the same certified figures: 32.46 pints/day and IEF 2.01.

Which brand of DFL1-32ED is cheapest to run?

On the filed figures, TCL, at about $1.37 a day. The highest is Honeywell, hOmeLabs and waykar at about $1.39 a day.
