Hisense OSD5026P: running cost
At 526 kWh/yr, the Hisense OSD5026P's ENERGY STAR certification puts it one of the more expensive models in its category to run against every other certified dehumidifier.
That $99 is priced at 18.8¢/kWh, the average of all 51 state rates this site tracks. Your own state's rate is one click away.
How the Hisense OSD5026P compares to other dehumidifiers
The category average is 378 kWh/yr; this model runs 39.2% above it, ranking 495 of 546 dehumidifiers tracked here for running cost. 546 certified dehumidifiers, one average, about $28/year of daylight between it and this model; the full methodology has the rest.
Neighbouring models
Right next to the Hisense OSD5026P on that list: Hisense OSD5026 ($99/yr, 526 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while Hisense TLDH5026PW ($99/yr, 526 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Comparing Hisense's own models
Ranked 26 of Hisense's 27 certified dehumidifiers, this sits between the ADH25K26 ($59/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the TLDH5026PW ($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
The Hisense OSD5026P 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.

If you're keeping it
The Hisense OSD5026P already costs $99/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
How this was checked
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 526 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. At rank 495 of 546 for running cost, see the dehumidifier category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
