Jack&Rose DH02 against the category
That's 51.9% below the dehumidifier category average of 378 kWh/yr, and ranks 64 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 $37/year below that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
DGUAM V2 ($34/yr, 183 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Jack&Rose DH02. HBN PD21MB-20 ($34/yr, 182 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Jack&Rose lineup
The Jack&Rose DH02 is the only dehumidifier from Jack&Rose 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.
Weighing a replacement
The Jack&Rose DH02 is already efficient for its category at $34/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dehumidifier costs to run.

Protecting what you have
The Jack&Rose DH02 already costs $34/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 182 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. Ranked 64 of 546, the Jack&Rose DH02 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.
