Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Bufanli OL22-D076FFN3B1/FE: ANDTE PD80K ($50/yr, 265 kWh/yr), then ECZWXZ or CPHCPH OL22-D076FFN3B1/FE ($50/yr, 267 kWh/yr).
Within the Bufanli lineup
The Bufanli OL22-D076FFN3B1/FE is the only dehumidifier from Bufanli that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full dehumidifier category.
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, $50/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers before buying.
If you're keeping it
Whether or not the Bufanli OL22-D076FFN3B1/FE ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a dehumidifier, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 267 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.
