Hisense TLDH5026PW against the category

That's 39.2% above the dehumidifier category average of 378 kWh/yr, and ranks 496 of 546 certified dehumidifiers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every dehumidifier ENERGY STAR currently certifies (546 models), not an outside benchmark, about $28/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.

What sits beside it in the ranking

LG DT501BKR0 ($99/yr, 526 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Hisense TLDH5026PW. Hisense OSD5026P ($99/yr, 526 kWh/yr) costs a little less.

Comparing Hisense's own models

Among Hisense's 27 certified dehumidifiers, this is the priciest to run, $40/year over the ADH25K26, the brand's cheapest.

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 Hisense TLDH5026PW 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.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

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

Ranked 496 of 546, the Hisense TLDH5026PW sits in the middle of the dehumidifier category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math. The 526 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
