ENERGY STAR dehumidifiers: typical energy use

559 dehumidifier listings currently carry the ENERGY STAR certification — portable dehumidifiers certified under ENERGY STAR. Here is the typical range and the most efficient model on record, straight from the U.S. EPA's own product-finder dataset.

How to read this page

Como ler este número

What the number measures

This is the annual energy use reported under the U.S. DOE test procedure for dehumidifiers — a standardized lab test, not a measurement from a real home.

De onde vem o dado

data.energystar.gov, collected 2026-10-09

Figures come straight from the U.S. EPA's own Socrata dataset (dataset mgiu-hu4z), under the EPA Data License. Last model added to this category: 2026-10-01.

Cuidado

ENERGY STAR only covers certified models

This list only includes dehumidifier models the manufacturer submitted for certification — it is not every dehumidifier sold in the U.S., and a model being absent does not mean it is inefficient. Figures are per year, under lab conditions; your own bill depends on size, settings and how much you use it.

O que fazer com isso

Check a specific model yourself

Open the raw dataset or search the brand and model number directly on the manufacturer's own EnergyGuide label before buying.

How big is the certified dehumidifier market?

As of 2026-10-01, 559 dehumidifier listings carry the ENERGY STAR certification — portable dehumidifiers certified under ENERGY STAR. It is a smaller, more specialized list than categories like refrigerators or dishwashers, which makes individual model specs more worth comparing one by one.

What is a typical dehumidifier annual energy use?

Certified dehumidifiers range from 105 kWh to 2,808 kWh a year — more than a 27x spread, mostly driven by size and features (capacity, ice makers, smart controls, variable-speed compressors). The average across the whole certified list is 377 kWh a year, but that number means little without matching it to the size of unit you actually need.

Which certified dehumidifier uses the least energy?

The most efficient model in the dataset is the Ukoke UDH0125, at 105 kWh a year — close to the catalog minimum of 105 kWh. "Most efficient" here is a single data point, not a buying recommendation: capacity, features and price matter too.

ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that certifies appliance models meeting a set energy-efficiency threshold. Certification is voluntary for manufacturers and does not cover every model on the market.
