Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Airecoler Stellar SP10H: Airecoler Stellar SP10 ($54/yr, 285 kWh/yr), then Airzentti ACD070P-NG100 ($54/yr, 285 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models

Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for dehumidifiers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Is it worth replacing?
Efficient as certified dehumidifiers go, $54/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The Airecoler Stellar SP10H already costs $54/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 285 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. At rank 192 of 546 for running cost, see the dehumidifier category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
