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.
Shopping for a new one
The ASAHWO PD22SA is already efficient for its category at $26/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dehumidifier costs to run.

$26/year to run is the predictable cost of the ASAHWO PD22SA; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
The data behind this page
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.
