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?
The Amazon Basics B0GR2TS1X4 runs above its category average. If the dehumidifier you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $99/year every year.

Protecting what you have
At $99/year just to run, a dehumidifier is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Sourcing
