Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX: Waykar; KESNOS; YAUFEY; Fehom YDW-150PM ($98/yr, 522 kWh/yr), then Amazon Basics B0GR2TS1X4 ($99/yr, 525 kWh/yr).
Within the Amazon Basics lineup
Ranked 2 of Amazon Basics's 3 certified dehumidifiers, this sits between the B0GR2L3R49 ($73/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the B0GR2TS1X4 ($99/yr, its priciest).
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.
Weighing a replacement
Running above the category average, $99/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$99/year to run is the predictable cost of the Amazon Basics B0GR2TN8YX; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
Where this number comes from
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Dehumidifier category page shows all 546 dehumidifiers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
