Efficient, or not, for a dehumidifier
Against the category average of 378 kWh/yr, this model uses 32% less, ranking 92 of 546 dehumidifiers tracked here for running cost.

Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Avylo ADC018: AeroNova DH-YS018US25-A00 ($48/yr, 257 kWh/yr), then Avylo DH-YS018US25-A00 ($48/yr, 257 kWh/yr).
Within the Avylo lineup
Of the 2 ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers Avylo makes, the ADC018 is the cheapest to run, about the same, within a dollar a year, less than Avylo's priciest, the DH-YS018US25-A00.
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
Efficient as certified dehumidifiers go, $48/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
A dehumidifier like the Avylo ADC018 is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 257 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. 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.
